RE: PH Carpool: LS3-powered TVR Cerbera
Discussion
paul is a great driver, he took me out in the car around silverstone at trax. The car is very very fast, just keeps on pulling.
The ITBs work really well to tame the big cam and is so smooth on tickover.
Around silverstone the other guys in the R35's liked it as they gave us a wave as we went past themc

Hi Guys,
Been busy all afternoon doing the fluids and what not for Donnington this coming Friday, so first chance to reply..
Sorry about the music, it was my first and last attempt at movies, i'll stick to the day job! Eh?
To answer a few questions i have managed to scan, its running Emerald 3D ECU, It makes 532RWHP at TVR Power, 15% losses? to the fly = around 625BHP?
I used 2D data logging at Brunters last year, it was supplied by a Journo that i know from the bike industry, he does the testing for MCN, 0-60 etc..
I have a graph with more data than i know what to do with!
As for the guy who got passed on the brakes, i think it was the session i let my mum have a go, i've had a word with her and she says she wont do it again!
Greets and 'grats! One heck of a car. 202 mph @ 0 rpm? What's it like when you start that monster, then? A beaut.Been busy all afternoon doing the fluids and what not for Donnington this coming Friday, so first chance to reply..

I wouldn't worry too much about the 'taste' of flared arches on a car which already has a pizza-holder on the bonnet...
Huge car, obviously - shame about that tho, spoils the looks a bit (I realise that's not the point of this car!!)

I like the Cerbera's lines and that air intake looks pure function rather than form.
As was pointed out, there is a heap of deformation of the bonnet there. Either the air is getting under it and trying to escape out the back, or its pressing on the two sides and forcing the middle up. Did you try a run without the bonnet? there is possibly another few miles an hour there, depending on which of the above is the case.
As it is now, the panel filter and scoop are there because it works, the ITB's made huge differences, both in the way it drives and the way it makes power, the rev range increased by at least 1000rpm, and revs so freely compared to the single plane manifold, lots of dyno work to proove that, oh..and the noise
I would have liked to have run the trumpets open, but one pea of kitty litter and lunch the motor?
That off at Oulton...the gravel got EVERYWHERE i even think i found some in my underpants
The arches i was thinking a little more retro, one of the customers i supply had this there, so the moulds are available for these...
