Turn the wick up a bit further and there is 500. At 25.5 psi it isn't "nosing over" as such. Give it 30-32 and it bust through that 500 kW mark.

You are such a boy !!! lol

When is the car finished, box in and going yet ?

Got a video of the box going from N to 1 to 2 tonight. Quick dyno session for health/tune reasons then pickup

Well done for sticking it out pete, awesome result and a credit to jez. man i can only hope im still into these cars as much as you are by the time im your age. I would love to see you flying down the road in this it would make my day.

Just look at the roof there will be a wheel chair strapped on it, but a red one, very fast :)

^^^ LOL @ the CRD fan boii! You've done nothing but defend them all along and are still trying to!

The result is night and day and goes to show who does the hard yards to get their customers the results they paid for! GTFO out of this thread!

you've done nothing but bash them like a complete twat.

I just don't sit behind a keyboard being high and mighty. Many people had differing opinions of what could of been the issues, none of which we would of known until the car was looked at by Jez. Now we know.

Not once have I defended them, just put another option of opinion, un like you, who clearly just want to voice your blind one sided opinion on the internet.

If you still think any business is successful because of poor customer service or unhappy customers, you're delusional.

I'm happy that Pete's car is doing what he wanted it to do now.

And Pete, not once have I said you've bashed them, it's people like Mick who have done that.

Mate, I know you have not said I bash them, it is over with, lets move on:/

As soon as I get it I will see if I can warm those tyres up :)

Don't bother mate, this 'garage wars' shit has always happened, not worth giving it fuel.

Might be asking you the same question Pete if you launch with that much mumbo. Not sure what the Getrag is good for.

Guess I will have to find out, if it goes tits up I can borrow Pauls 88 , until mine gets here:/

They seem to hold the power quite well... That torque though... Not sure.

Damn Pete, should have kept to a 2.6L... Pfft!

The way it was, I was never worried about the box, I will have to drive it for a while and get the feeling, hope I make it home, I know I will not be able to help myself ,lol

Won't be revving it to 7k and dropping the clutch I don't reckon.

You just never know, but I will get a little movement first before letting it go, smokem :devil:

haha, I will work my way up and see how it goes, just want to finally feel it pulling hard :whistling:

theres no war going on here, just facts and back to back comparison on the same dyno from one person working on it to the next

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
