The Racetractor. The End.

I've got to say a comfortable 180-190bhp although didn't tom have an issue on the dyno with his?

[Matt-Rallye]

Seeing as you keep banding around the 200bhp figure I'm hoping it pulls somewhere near that!

[eskimogod]

192 is my guess!
great build tho bud! will try and read through it all at some point wanted to swap the 2.1 into my last 306

[Niall]

I reckon 150 but tbh, who gives a shit? BHP is all for little boys and people who don't understand cars*









*Says the guy who has his BHP down to .5 in his sig

[Piggy]

exactly Niall

Its more for setup really and a base figure

Tbh its quick enough for all the roads round me by a long way!
And I find motorways boring.

Thats the most important thing. If you live somewhere full of twists and you have a car that makes 80bhp until 5k where it makes 180, its not going to be any fun!

[Piggy]

On a hoon...3rd n 4th gets me right on the limit of my tyres and the law. But i do wana know what it pulls at last! (and before it blows up! )

[Niall]

Even still, i take dyno readings with a pinch of salt. For instance mine ran 215hp at T&R and those guys know what their doing but then i bet if i put it on the dyno at FCS, them idiots didn't have a clue and it would probably make 250 or 170 or something like that

[Piggy]

Saxon are top blokes, they run a number of cars in race series and provide Formula ford racers for castle combe etc

I'll trust what they come up with

[akuma406]

Pending my friend, I think about 180. . . .
But quedaria very happy if more ben ajajajaja

[Poodle]

175/290

[bashbarnard]

180ish maybe. Bet its a blast to drive

[Piggy]

175/290

Honestly...thats the sort of figure I would be proper chuffed with

[Toms306]

Is that the same Saxon that ran the diesel BMW in the same endurance race as the Top Gear guys did?

As for figues, I'll say 199.99bhp. How annoying would that be!

thats the guys tom

I guess about 150ish powers and 300ish torques

[Piggy]

Ozone; you only hope it makes less than yours

:p :p

[Piggy]

Well she is boosting. Fine tuning now begins.

[Piggy]

She is hunting at cruise (vane control not engine as such) which is an issue with this closed loop control system it seems.
Although I cant believe all the vdub and rover guys out there running these systems put up with it coz its horrible!!


But my biggest worry at the mo is she is displaying signs of a HG failure.
I am desperately hoping its just the matrix putting air in the system due to a small leak.

But my luck...it will be the HG.

If it is. That maybe the final straw. And it certainly wont be hitting the rollers.

[Toms306]

Meh, chuck it on the rollers anyway, let it go out with a bang....maybe literally.

[306Dan]

I'd say it'd probably be the matrix as you've already said it has a leak, and your probably worried about hg failure due to how it went last time.
Now get it fixed and on the RR and let us know who's right

[Piggy]

Guna bleed the system again in the morning, tow a trailer round to earn some money, which will be interesting with a hunting arduino system (which so far is in no way superior to a boost can ) and a possible HG failure

Then hopefully get done by 3ish and have a new matrix in by dinner time.

Bleed that all up with a new stat and coolant that I have had ready for months and see what happens.

[Tom]

150/250


Actually something funny like 9hp Just kidding, im a douche. I like to antagonise.

[Piggy]

Blew a boost hose off today.

Hunting and pulsing boost is bad enough...no boost pulling a 600kg trailer is just mental!!

[Dum-Dum]

I dont think your running enough boost at just 1bar higher up in the range to make big power, its got a fair whack of torque lower down which is where you drive it making it feel fast but i dont think its gonna make all out power.


I'm gonna say sub 290lb/ft and sub 170bhp - If you must tie me down to exact figures 279lb/ft and 167.2bhp

[Piggy]

We should have this running at 28psi across the rev range all being well...but a lot hangs on the work I do on it this evening and some Ruan time tomorrow!

---

Although...GTi power with more torque and 60mpg and on veg will do me fine!

[Niall]

Out of interest mate how much has this cost you? The whole 2.1 set up?

[Piggy]

For the sake of my own HG blowing lets not think about it!!!!

---

(do you mean the whole car fella or just the engine/pump/turbo/arduino etc?)

[Dum-Dum]

Ah at 28psi I'd change my estimate on power to close on the 200bhp mark on your fuel pump

[Piggy]

Not if i dont sort this....
