:lol:

Hi Lee thanks for the comments your not so bad yourself mate ;) its a shame you missed the breakfast have you finished all the pies yet :D

Let me know when you want to sell it i might be interested mate im collecting them now :D

R.B

A big thanks from me for my bumpsteer and geometry.

As expected the car feels so much better, getting around corners is so easy and precise now (just like a scooby should be).

:)

Bob, that's what i thought!
I was convinced the Uk limiter was at 7100.

Where does the rollers pick up the RPM information from?
From what i could see there was no phsical connection to the car for this information, so i assume it's worked out through, gearing/tyre diameter/ road speed etc.

If so i have 17's on with 205/45/17 tyres with not much tread left which could have thrown it out.

Dan.

i thought uk cars rev higher than 7000 cos on the day quite a few did including fuzz's car which then put out 448bhp

My rev limit is 7400 I think rich took it to the limiter as it reved to 7375. :D

As for Dan's, I suspect someone forgot to calibrate the machine to the car...
This should have been done for each car as they are put on the rollers.
Rich holds the rpm at 3000 by looking at the rev counter on the car, then hits a button on the remote that tells the computer that the current speed the rollers are doing equals 3000 engine rpm.
either that, or the rpm counter on the car is out :D
I can't think of any other reason.


Andy

Ahh that's how you do it.
Next time we can use the rpm read out on the secs monitor direct form the ecu. that should be a little more accurate.

Much easier to fill out now. :D

Andy

Fuzz,

Top day!! I forgot to check the springs before i left, but have noticed that my drivers side spring seems to be rattling even worse now!!! :eek:

What program is that file created with??

:(
I think you'll need to bring it back for a strip down, strange though, everything seemed tight and all lined up where it should be.
Perhaps it's a top mount wearing out.


Andy

Works 7.0

opens in excel :D

Were the sheaths fitted??

Yep. I fitted them before I got pulled off of it to organise the group and take da money. :D


Andy

cheers, very strange will arrange to come down

I've just been looking at the results/mods sheet. It would be even more informative if the Model of car was put in there ;)

Mines a 2004 wrx ;)

Fuzz, did you want to add my engine details?

MD304, HKS decat, GruppeS headers, Link ECU

Excellent result from your car, I left before it went on tho :( Was there any problems? On the APS thread you said something about it breathing?

Neil.

Hi Nezz

What did u get with your MD304?
Im interested to see comparitive results from sililar mods on the same day.

Dan.

i trust these torque figures were given in Nm? as aposed to lbft?

Neilo

Yes in Nm

ahh thoguht so....never seen an NA 2.0 honda make nearly 200lbft ;)

good figs all round though :)

Updated xlr document..

breathing, yes heavily. :D the combustion pressure is just too great for the standard internals to handle.. I could see it breathing on the rollers, and it does smoke a little on the road with the race fuel..
less than 1/4 tank left anyhow, oh and nearly had a head on tonight so it best stay in the garage until I put the optimax map back in... :( Far too much of a loon machine!!
Was fun while it lasted. :D that had to be the most expensive tank of fuel I've ever bought though. :eek: :D

Andy

Dan your car definately has the std limit set, rollers have to have rpm at a speed entered according to gearing and the gear its run in, then it calcs revs from speed usually. Previous car to yours was a Legacy which I don't have the gearing to hand for but maybe someone does. Since it read 7900 ish the rpm difference would be something around 900 (if you assume that it didn't quite hit the limiter), that will change your torque noticeably.

bob

Thanks for the reply Bob, well after another day on my back under the car replacing the up pipe, a trip back to PS will make some interesting reading:)

Question is what to replace the helix flexi job with, i was thinking a slipjointed one instead, prob better gas flow but not totally solid.

Dan.

As long as you dont run with fully bracketed turbo (i.e remove the large gearbox side one then you should have no problem running a solid up pipe.
I have a 2" Hayward and Scott one and have yet to crack that (2-3 years on) but as I state I am only "holding the turbo up" with the small bracket that bolts to the head. This has a slotted hole which allows the necessary movement. :D


Andy

Danny,

you were up by 7 bhp but down by over 40 lb/ft?? Whats going on there?

Neil.

Most of the torque figures seemed a bit low to me ?

LOL i wish!, i think powerstations torque wrenchs has more torque than our type-r's :)

I wonder if there will ever be a day when everybody is happy with the figures on a shootout day. :D

;)

Andy

Only if you ask them what they want before each run... :D
