Foulsmell 120 Report post Posted April 8, 2015 As promised, here are some pics of the engine bay. I think we can all agree, once again, a very nice install by our resident Fensport tech guy, Dave. A work of art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike-p 116 Report post Posted April 9, 2015 Patience Grasshopper, it's couple of weeks before the car goes on the rollers, as soon as I have the figures I'll post them. Now where did I leave those ping pong balls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike-p 116 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 The car is booked into Clive Atthowe's for a full roller session next Thursday. I've know Clive for a long time, he's a Revo dealer like me. Clive does Adrian's cars as well. Results will be posted Thursday evening. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Really looking forward to seeing these Mike! Do you have any further developments planned for the car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike-p 116 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Really looking forward to seeing these Mike! Do you have any further developments planned for the car? James, some more driving lessons would come in useful. Nothing else planned for the car at the moment, but after next Tuesday's session at Snetterton, I'll probably have some more ideas.

Guest Report post Posted April 10, 2015 A work of art.Just imagine how good it would look with a big hairy turbo sitting where that airbox is and feeding the compressor with compressed air!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tareim 343 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Just imagine how good it would look with a big hairy turbo sitting where that airbox is and feeding the compressor with compressed air!!! it would certainly push the car to it's limits possibly even breaking point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted April 10, 2015 Well you started off pretty well at Snetterton buddy! Can't be too much wrong with your driving! Looks like the idea of you taking the car to a twin charged setup seems to be quite popular above haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 Great numbers Mike! 243 at the wheels is a great figure to reach! Torque numbers look a little low though? Or is that me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike-p 116 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 James, I was expecting higher figures, but the bhp figure is bang on the money for Cosworth's quoted range of 260 for std exhaust and 280 for their de-cat system. The car feels to have endless torque, so it's not an issue IMHO Also the torque dip in the 4500-5000 range isn't noticeable on track at all, but the graph seems to exaggerate the dip, which is 14lb ft over that rev range.

Yeah power looks spot on, and as I said, to hit just below 245hp at the wheels is a great achievement, The torque dip does look quite severe on the graph from 4k onwards, which is why I thought I would ask if you were expecting more from the kit in terms of torque gains, but if in the real world it really isn't an issue for you when driving, it is a win win I guess you wouldn't notice it as much on track anyway as you'd want to be above 5k most of the time to make the most use of that peak power at 7k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pitman 188 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 It is such a pity that Cosworth won't let Adrian do the mapping. I have absolutely no torque dip on my turbo car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 Most of the torque dip is to do with the Stock Manifold. Get a Manifold and it'll be greatly improved. I know when Adrian done mine the difference was incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 Doesn't the Cosworth stage 1.3 include a new manifold? And didn't they say that they had removed the torque dip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
