Engine finally ready for Dyno test

[sundance002]

Thanks Terry, For all the hard work and late nights, Really looking forward to having the first road test, graphs don't mean much to me, don't really understand them, I will probably want to fine tune those figs, to maps that will personally suit me.
Can't wait to see what this beast is going to drive like.

has the Dyno applied air temp correction or was it the power it made on the day

did you have to limit torque on the 700 hp map or was there more to come

[andygtt]

something very wrong with Map8

done a very good job there.. looks like you still run boost control even on low boost which is something I intend to do rather than just shut it off, may as well hold the torque it makes initially rather than let it tail off.... keeps power high

[sundance002]

We were holding back the torque on all the maps, the best torque fig was 561ftlb with 703bhp but at this point it kept blowing the spark out, Terry thinks its capable of 720bhp 600ftlb but we need to change the plugs to a new type, can't remember the term he used for the plugs.
We will be booking a day on the rolling road to set the maps to my personal choice, which will be as Andy said keeping the torque higher on certain maps, and reducing it on others, all the maps done so far are the starting points.

It's also a great testament to the engine which was built by Dave Jetstreem, and Mountune who done the final re build with all the new engine upgrades and turbos.
The new work is being done at Bespoke by Skip, for me they are closer, but I am more than happy to have either work on my car as they are both top draw.

Hi Gadge, thanks for the offer, where abouts are you?

[Gadgeroonie]

I have customers up and down the country - but probably easiest to meet you near Heathrow

Ok I will have to speak with Terry and see what his plans are? but I would think it will take most of the day to finish the maps.
I'm not back in the uk for a couple wks so will get back to you, thanks again for the offer.

Anything else on the gear set side

Anything else on the gear set side Of things?

I'm waiting on a call back from CTS to see if there's anything I can do with my box.

Some pics of the engine going back in with all the new bits being fitted.

is that an oil cooler - looks pretty slim and easy to fit

Looks like gearbox oil cooler.

Craig, assume that's a knock sensor to the right of the oil filter, will it work there ?

What do you think of my fuel tank ?

Jag put it in the centre of the v between the heads

It's the oil cooler, originally it was mounted at the front, which we thought was to far to work properly, and now doesn't take any space in the tunnel. this is a new type, which is supposed to be a lot more effective.. The gearbox cooler will be mounted in the other side pod.

Skip at Bespoke is doing all the work, and his very good, extremely tidy, and very thorough.

I thought it was the engine bay temp sensor, but I could be wrong.

Looks great, haven't seen anything yet other than photos, Was it your design? Pro Alloy made it for me.

Yes it was my design which l had Pro Alloy make & now they are selling it, overcomes a lot of the problems. Have you had the fuel collecter & foam fitted ?
