Had a great time today, big thanks to Dave for organising it and good to put some names to faces

[lockys96]

sorry i missed this, i did everything to make this

and so did the lads at tgt yesterday and today,

better to have an engine than 1 in pieces and a power figure...

ill be back there soon i hope

[toxo]

Yeah was good + pleased with my power figures! Next time they'll be higher

[Scott Barton]

Top day. Big for Dave for arranging this. Well done mate.

Also, thanks to Ant and Ryan for pulling over with me on the hard shoulder of the M25 on the way home when my car developed a sudden problem.
Turns out a hose had come loose, resulting in no boost and engine stalling.

Cheers gents.


Figures for me was 374bhp with the NOS and an extra 60lb/ft torque!

Without the Nos it was 330bhp. Was 20hp down on last time i was at Surrey Rolling road in Feb when the air intake temp was 13deg. Today it was over 50deg.

[Munnsy]

Huge thanks to everyone, was a great day and see some fantastic cars.
Was nice to have a variety also and see some new faces.
Was pretty pleased with my 340 although i did want to break the 350 but my boost conrtroller was all over the place ,
Also got home to find one of my chargecooler pipes had split also so guess what ill be doing tomorrow lol.

Great day guys, and pleased you all enjoyed it

A good day, will upload my pics once ive sorted them out. Was happy with my 390.7bhp, shame he couldn't find another 9bhp!

[toxo]

Sadly I only got pictures of Pete's MK1 before by camera conked out!!

[ashley]

Awesome day- had a great time, was fantastic to see so many great 2's at one time together with enthusiastic owners- loved it!

Huge thanks to Dave for organising it- job well done

And thanks to Ryan for smoothing out my map

[nikaiyo]

Nice one Dave , thanks for organizing this and supplying a mountain of biscuits

On the way back I stopped in Fleet services, and found smoke coming from my engine lid... forgot to reconect the engine bay temp sensor thing, left it "resting" on the turbo so there was a small fire to be delt with

Well chuffed with reults from today 284.1bhp 265 torques

Cool

Yeah was good + pleased with my power figures! Next time they'll be higher

how much power did you make in the end? I missed your run.

[cantfindausername]

Again, thanks to Dave for organising the day. Great turn out greater still to meet more members and see some well prepared cars.

Was great to meet and speak with Ryan (2barTuning) - I'll be trying your resistor today, will let you know how I get on.

Power figures for mine were 456bhp & 305ftlb. Not overly pleased with the way the fuelling is all over the place and that the boost wasn't being held. This will all get sorted in the bear future though.

Thanks all for making the day what it was.

Ant

[ashley]

Power figures for mine were 456bhp & 305ftlb.

Was an impressive result- you've done a gooood job of that car buddy, must be a blast on the road

that the boost wasn't being held

Was it wandering after full boost was initially hit? Seemed to be 2 or 3 cars with similar problems maintaining steady boost levels

I managed 425bhp & just over 330ftlbs at 1.5bar- well chuffed with that!

[cantfindausername]

Yeah it is a good laugh on the road. Just don't expect it to be as quick as it is. My boost was wandering yes. Gave like a wave look on the readout. I found it suspicious that a lot of cars were reading like this. I'm going to have the datalogs looked at this week for the dyno runs so that will say for certain wether it was or wasn't fluctuating, or wether it was something up with the monitoring at SRR.

Good results from yours too I would imagine yours pulling a little harder due to having 10% more torque.

[Munnsy]

i had same prob too with the avcr, ive heard this isnt uncommon though, and have been told that running of the wastegate will resolve this, however what worries me is if i get a 1.2 bar spring, come the colder months, 1. i wont be able to turn the boost down, and 2. i wont be able to control the spiking etc which is why the avcr is a great unit.
I may venture and buy a new solenoid to begin with and see if this makes any difference but to be honest im not too fussed.

Kinda feel like ive hit a brick wall now, next stage is forged route which i have no idea where to start, not sure on what to budget etc
I may also look at possibly going boot mount c/c or inter but unsure whats best, but again i want to buy once and once only so not sure on my final target figures as regards to inlet manifold setup etc.

Was really impressed with both your cars and cant imagine what its like on the roads, i feel with just my 340 its a handfull at times but i have always had a dream of building a reletavely large speced car, i have the bolt on stuff to follow up just not the key components on the bottom end to complete

Was great to see a variety of builds that day, thanks to everyone
