Two.06l Update (twoogle)

[Swiper the Fox]

Starting to get our car sorted...

Finalised the run-in on Friday (did a Sydney>Newcastle>Sydney drive) this was on top of the initial dyno run-in at Croydon's and put a bit of boost in it late friday night. @22 psi on Croydons 4WD dyno it easily pumped out 461KW with the rich run-in tune in the Power FC. This was with BP ultimate 98...so with a decent (read:leaner) tune and Shell 100 in the tank i can see a figure of 500KW+ achieveable, yes over 500kw with low-mounts on pump gas. That should silence a few of the "big single" naysayers...hehe

We took the car to Newcastle Autosalon on Saturday and put it in the dyno shootout, with only 10psi we made just over 350kw to be in 1st place for Sundays finals. I turned it back up to 22psi and with the heat of the day and an exhibition hall full of exhaust gas from the other finalists (not ideal conditions) we made 450KW! This was enough to secure victory in the dyno catergory and win another 4 trophy's including the prestigious "Tough as nails" trophy for toughest car at the show.

This is by far above our expectations and a real shock to Jim and the boys at Croydon's who were unsure if this direction (sticking with twin low-mounts) we were taking with this combo would make the numbers. With race fuel and the NOS in it, it should be abosolutely ballistic.

600kw here we come.

We would like to thank Jim Souvas and all the boys at CRD for all their hard work, knowledge and patience.

Racing the car this Wednesday night if all goes well.

ill keep you posted

Good question Roy, i must be careful what i say about this subject but here goes...

We trusted our car with another workshop to have some work done (custom fabrication work) Their work practices were far from what i expected from them. To cut a long story short, they allowed the freshly built engine to become unsealed and during their work some metal shavings/swarf entered the engine. The engine then had to be removed again, stripped, rebuilt and re-installed.

I must stress this workshop was NOT Croydon Racing Developments.

398kw...i think...it was just shy of 400kw

the torque curve of that engine/turbo/cam combo was very peaky though.

the torque curve of this engine is nearly dead flat at max torque for 5000rpm...its incredible on the road.

its a completely different car....more different than 50kw would have you think.

the power does not tell the story...its the torque.

ill post up a graph

yeah...its not too shabby for a very fat (rich) run-in tune. Will be out either Wednesday night and/or all day Friday sorting it out at the strip. All depends on when Croydon's are avail.
