Handbrake's R35 Build Part 2

[handbrake]

I heard it (i think)...

and thought to myself, thats an interesting sound...

Was at the servo out the front getting refreshed (coke & choc bar) at the time... Good timing i guess...

Yep that would have been it. We were all down there!

[handbrake]

Did I see zip-ties on that fuel hose?

Um, yes? Were you expecting titanium fittings? lol

[handbrake]

hey mate, nice build, been following it since the beginning.

where did you buy the small battery from and what is the CCA ratings?

cheers

pm Trent from mercury motorsport. Thats one of the parts I wasn't coordinating.

Will require jump starting to preserve battery life though so not for everyone.

It is only 1.8kg though!!

[Speedah]

CAR STARTED TODAY!!! Sounds MINT!

Looks like we will be spending some time on the dyno tomorrow.

Awesome...cant wait for World Time Attack...hope it all comes together for you guys.

[Sunkist]

are there any video's you guys took??

[Snowman]

I'm guessing there is no chance we can come check this car out on Sunday hey Mark? I'm flying up to QLD Sat night (home Sunday night) but would loved to have checked it out.

(Am flying up just to have a look at another 35 actually)

[handbrake]

Mate, no problem

Will pm Trent's number.

Just cracked 500hp on dyno... this thing is going to be mammoth

[MercuryMotorsport]

MAKE THAT 448kw on 18psi!!!!!!!

[FR34K]

sweet!

[Tangles]

Can you take a vid of the Beast on your dyno?

Im sure all who've seen this thread would LOVE to see/hear it spinning up......

450awkw @18psi is a nice result for run-in tune. What awkw figures at what boost are you hoping for?

[Johny Bravo]

That is awesome. Picture almost looks sureal. I think its the first picture i've seen that isn't a close up.

[handbrake]

I want a solid 600awkw 28-30psi , god only knows how I'll cope getting that down on the track in any sensible fashion

to put that in perspective a stock R35 puts out about 270awkw on the mercury dyno dynamics

not sure what it should end up with in dyno queen mode?

[Johny Bravo]

600awkw is going to be tricky, you'll most likey increase the speed at which the earth rotates, depending what direction your driving of course. haha. Looking forward to seeing the final dyno result, when do you expect to have that done?

[MercuryMotorsport]

What a great result, we just finished run-in tune, final result was 500.2kw at wheels on 21psi. Now it is back on the hoist finishing installation of the carbon dash, mounting the rear diffuser and getting ready for the track shakedown.

I did get video of the dyno, so I am sure Mark will post up the video shortly.

The entire team at Mercury Motorsport are extremely happy and although exhausted from all the OT, this has spurred us on to continue with our efforts in getting ready for the WTAC.

It's shown in the pictures, it's amazing how quickly this has progressed and the effort/quality which the boys have put into it. Can't wait to see this thing in action
