Rolling road sessions

[Foxy-jim]

I'm going to stay naturally aspirated, sound s like too much work haha.

[Midnightclub]

^^ the expensive way to go slow lol

[Foxy-jim]

Meh it will surprise people when finished!

[D@wson]

I wish we had something like this in the NW

[Jacko]

YES YES YES, well up for this! I need to sort mine out!

[Toms306]

Meh it will surprise people when finished!

You dropping a V12 in it then?

The problem I found with 306s is that they all have good spec in ph3 (colour coded, skirts, chrome exhaust tip etc) and no engine size badges so from outside its hard to tell what they are......I was often getting asked if my 1.4 was a 2.0 lol........until they raced me.

So unless its quicker than an xsi it may not surpise too many people. :think:

[Foxy-jim]

I'm pretty sure it will be quicker then an xsi!

[Midnightclub]

Well after karting last night i am completely skint.. If i can find some money from somewhere then i'll do it

[Garlicbread]

Well whoever is up for it just let me know what wednesday evening you can make in this thread or via pm.

Turbo is probs the way to go for performance and fuel economy, however its all about being different nowadays so i have a lot of respect for you foxy-jim for being different.

If it doesnt go well though however i will constantly be mentioning turbo to you.

How about a supercharged 1.4 instead.

[Foxy-jim]

Na im not made of money haha. If it goes to plan it will be decent and sound amazing!

tb's?

[Ruan]

Problem with VNTs is....

You MASH it at 30 in 4th, it'll bog, blow coal, then as the turbo slowly spins up, it suddenly overcomes the bogging, sends the exhaust pressure mental, spins the turbo up, drops the LDA, huge load of fuel, promptly lights up the clutch with silly torque then keeps lighting up the clutch until the torque dies off, then it "feels" as if the engine is reducing in power, when it's just coming into it's stride, then they lift off, producing the most GASH graph you've ever seen.

You've got to tickle them through the low RPMs, light throttle, then start bringing in the throttle as the boost builds, all the way 'till it's fully on boost, by which time your foot should be close to the floor, and hold it to wherever the owner's balls will let them take it... Unless you've got experience of driving larger turbo and pumped Diesels you just don't know by the noise what the engine is doing, sounds sad, but you definitely get a feel for what's going on via the noise...

Which is why I just wish some dyno operator would let ME control the throttle once you're on for the run... It'll never happen though...

[Foxy-jim]

tb's?

[Garlicbread]
