If it was the first time then that was because the plugs fowled from sitting round at idle so long in line,getting it ready at home etc.I was towed that time. I never forgot antilag, hence the 'black smoke' which is unburnt fuel. I have a a very similar video no doubt, so would a lot of ppl. Seems you have a poor sense of humour if it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, most ppl on here would be curious as to why it happened and then help fix it, you seem to be getting kicks out of trying to embarrass someone. Embarrassing it was, but I'm not embarrassed by it, it's all a learning curve

and still, absolutely nothing to do with running in an engine

Dont worry mate help was offered at the time it just seemed everyone was to busy rubbing into everyone that the car was a rh9 car, ask anyone id be the first person to offer help when it came to fixing someones car but when ppl stand around a being rude and arrogant it gives them a bad name...

Couldn't of been me then, I've never talked the car up. Everyone knows what it has done. I've always said it wasnt me driving and I don't know how to drive it. Youre not the first person who said they came in, personally I had no time for anyone combining wanting to be on track,fixing it and being frustrated with it.

I can only speak for myself, anyone else's actions are their own. It's usually the ppl that think they know me that talk up the car etc. Not my direct friends

From memory it was the guy on the laptop with you after you got back to the pits but all good either way...

Probably was me or my brother then. But we aren't what you described at all, the garage was a workshop, stress levels high. No doubt if I wasn't busy and someone had taken the time to introduce themselves I would of definitely had the time to talk. My brother is hard to talk at the best of times, let alone when stressed with 'people in his space'. If the car was running smoothly, would of had many convos on the day no doubt!so not really a good environment to be publicly judging someone on..

what the estimated start time pete, i have to work sat night, but miiight come down....

Start time is very different for each person, we had a lot of people turning up ~11am etc, you can turn up whenever you want but you'll just miss a few laps.. There's no competition or queuing or anything like that, so just turn up and have a bash around the track. It's kind of up to you whether you'll have enough time on track to justify the entry fee :)

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
