GT86 Cosworth

[mike-p]

I've decided to take the plunge and go FI on my GT86, Cosworth have released a Stage 2 supercharger kit which looks very OEM and yields 80hp with an uprated exhaust, apparently the supercharger is rated up to approx 400hp with a 'few' additional mods, but that's too far for my needs (at the moment). Double the power sounds fun but I want the car for both road and track.

It's going into Fensport in Feb to be fettled, I'll keep you updated.

Keep it on the 215 tyres?

[mike-p]

I've not decided yet, it may be that I'll put wider tyres on the rear, 225 or 235, but I'll still stick with 17in rims

Might be quicker than a Metro soon then lol Mike

[mike-p]

I don't know Eddie, you're a lot cheekier overtaking into corners ;-)

Picked the car up from Fensport this morning, what a difference!

Any speed any gear it just takes off.

Snetterton should be fun tomorrow.......

[Konan]

Bit of rain at Snetterton today then?

[mike-p]

Oh it was a tad damp, but Cossie was just brilliant.

Excellent result.

Most chuffed indeed

Hi Mike,

So when are we doing this Eye drag race?

Before or after my restrictor upgrade? :P

Jay

[mike-p]

Whenever you're ready Jay, before or after ;-)

[viscountdallara]

OOOOh !! Fighting talk !!

Can I come ??

[mike-p]

It's not a competition, it's a side by side comparison, innit? ;-)

[viscountdallara]

Surely you mean a trial !

[mike-p]

Guilty yer honour!

[GT86Jay]

Maybe we should do one before on the stock restrictor. (So you can take a win)
Then again after I've opened mine up a bit more. (So I can take a win).

It would also be a nice way to work out the difference the restrictor makes.

But be warned... I've just seen a dyno plot of the same spec as mine! Same manifold and exhaust.... 288hp at the hubs!



Only fighting talk! Its clearly for research and bragging rights this experiment!

[mike-p]

Jay, the new manifold is on and...........

Feck it's quick!!

And makes a hell of a noise :-)

any time you're ready, if you're not going to Blyton next week.
