The length is what fitted..............,

 

not much by the way of calculations I'm afraid (whats considered the optimum?)

 

Certainly not hacked hahahaha.

 

Access to a milling machine you see :)

Time for a small update

 

Progress has been slow over the last few months due to building a new garage and workshop. Its been the main priority but will be worth it in the end grin.gif

This was 5 weeks ago, its more or less finished now!.

 

Still managed to make a few changes to the car ready for a trackday at Cadwell. Temps were slightly high at donington (fcs) so ive made some air ducts from old headlights. I have also fitted a water intercooler spray which work really well. Its controlled manually at the mo but will eventually work out away for the ecu to work it.

Really happy with the way the car performed, had loads of people come over asking questions. The highlight of the day was pushing a 530bhp new skyline out the way down the straight. I was waiting all day to have a play with it haha.

 

Had the car weighed aswell, came in at 816kg. Works out at 375bhp per ton grin.gif

Looks great mate, slighty longer inlet length than i had so should work well.

Yeah its a morgan V8. I find that a lot at cadwell, its well suited to kit cars being tight a twisty. Most of them take some pushing to get them to move over :D

I didn't mean or think you were braking much either! Always hard to tell from a video, but seems as though you were reaching such a high terminal speed so quickly that you lift off and coast down for a bit before braking for bends!

It may be the sound and video are slightly out. I did find that cadwell is a bit short now to use all the power, booked on Donington today (03/09/12) so ill see how that goes.

Went to dynodaze rolling road day yesterday. Wanted to see what the recent changes have made to the power.

 

Because it makes max power at the limiter i can adjust the power to what i want. The car made well over 340bhp when mapped but i only ever quoted figures of what the car made with the lowered limit (306bhp@7000rpm) Now i have sorted the inlet temps issue i was happy to raise the limiter back upto 8000rpm for the rolling road day.

 

Since it was last on the rollers for mapping i have made 3 changes

 

1) smaller exhaust system 2.5" insted of 3"

2) Bigger air filter pipe on the inlet of the charger

3) Raise the limiter

 

I was expecting 330-340bhp so was a bit shocked when this happened

 

 

 

374bhp so with the current weight thats 458bhp per ton grin.gif

Good figures , what the power at the wheels, as fly wheel figures are pub talk figures as we all know :)
