Yes, around 120 mph for 11.4

Stock blower is now off the car and is sat with Turbo Dynamics, being prepared for the custom Litchfield Stage 3 spec for testing!

[Eigdoog]

When are you hoping to be back at the pod with stage 3? Gotta be there for that day

Who knows.... need the blower back from TD first, then the testing begins. Need to see how it performs on the dyno first, before I can plan when to give it a workout down the strip.

After what has been weeks (months) lol, my new Hybrid Borg Warner EFR Turbo has been done and is waiting for installation!

This has had extensive work to cram in a 7163 EFR core into the stock housing.

Cast inlet pipe and manifold have been ported.

Exhaust housing has been strengthened to account for the very large turbine.

Seals and actuator have been upgraded.

Can't wait until we test this.

Don't ask me how much power it will make.... we don't know! I'll find out soon though!!!

Core is capable of 550-600bhp, but it won't make that in this install due to the exhaust flow restrictions of the exhaust housing and manifold.

That turbo is a work of art. Looking forward to the results after it goes on.

Turbo has now been fitted without any spacing issues, as there was a potential for the compressor to not fit due to the extension of the EFR core iirc.

Anyway... that's gone well.

My new Miltek DP turned up today, so as soon as that's fitted we should be ready to hit the dyno and start testing.

I'll get some pictures of everything soon.

This must sound mental !

Make sure we get vids

[Shaunee]

Miltek DP was apparently fitted this morning.

It can't be long till it hits the dyno.... surely!

[Shaunee]

Slight misunderstanding of what was ordered and fitted. I've now got a full Miltek system on. Decatted and no centre resonators.

I'm going to see how this sounds.

Exhaust tips look good though!

The new VIS HPFP was also fitted this morning along with the NGK uprated spark plugs.

The car will hopefully hit the dyno tomorrow for initial testing.









Stock DP:

Will be interesting to see how it sounds. Am fed up of the stock tips looking so awful and an aftermarket cat-back is on the cards. But everyone is saying the oem sports exhaust sounds best.

Whats up with the oem tips mate? 

 

I tweaked mine a bit by moving the back box further out about 8mm. Made the rear tips look a bit more aggressive I felt.

 

I have the RS Sports exhaust and can tell you its incredible. We need to meet up LOL

I have the oem sports exhaust but the tips are looking aged and pitted

Come to Santa Pod on Saturday

Will be there taking videos on Saturday

I got a buffing head on a drill and a dremel and they came up new. You need to bring it round.

 

Sadly can't come this weekend but one day ......

[Shaunee]

No way is this car going to be ready for Saturday. If (assuming this is a reality) the inlet will need modding, that also needs to be done. I haven't an induction kit yet and there's also talk of us altering the cast inlet pipe that goes on to the compressor cover.

It's unlikely I'll be around to attend this Saturday anyway unfortunately.

Good luck guys and I look forward to reading all about it.

[Savo]

Shaunee, are you going for a off the self induction kit or a custom one.

Really not sure yet....

Ideally I would like to have a new one developed, but it depends on timescales.

I need to see how quickly the car can get up and running at this current stage of mods, how it responds / what benefit a modified inlet could give and then see what time will be needed to work on a new intake kit.

Too many unknowns at this stage to say I'm afraid.

[Shaunee]

With the new exhaust system fitted:




Car had its inaugural Stage 3 run on the dyno this afternoon for logging purposes. The car made 430bhp on a short run to 5600rpm AND with only 30% throttle throughout the run.

This was literally for logging purposes and the real mapping work starts from here.

Can't wait to see what this turbo can do on a finished map with wide open throttle and the full rev range.
