Sylva Phoenix - 397 BHP

[jeffw]

I spent yesterday at TTS Performance getting a custom intercooler made and fitted to the Phoenix. The car was then remapped on the Dyno and made 397BHP and 297 ft lb of torque. This is up from the 339 BHP it made prior to the changes. All this on a 2lt Ford Zetec The car now has 640BHP per tonne (without the driver !)

TTS where great, they normally wouldn't do this work in 1 day but agreed to this time....Arrived at 0800hrs and left at 2030hrs and Darren still had to put his 600BHP Exige S1 back together for Friday at Angelsey. Great bunch of guys who worked very hard during the day I was there.

Well done

You have way more Torque than I have ....I presume it is turboed?

[jeffw]

The guys are TTS where excellent. Custom made the intercooler and pipework, rubber mounted it all, fixed some issues with the car and replaced the blow off valve and the air filter with something suitable for the power. I has said I wanted it done in a day (I live in Kent and getting to Northampton with a trailer is a pain) so I arrived a 8am and left at 8.30 pm.

The real beauty of the Rotrex setup is the linear power delivery, literally the harder you press the pedal, the faster you go. There is no torque spike like you get with high power turbos (nothing, nothing ...ohhhh my god power delivery) or the big bottom end and nothing at the top that you get from screw superchargers.

TTS do a number of Bike Supercharger conversions which are still very driveable so it is the same idea really.

Yes...

[jeffw]

Maybe, but it was a lot less than before. You'll see the inlet drop straight away once you lift off the throttle

Anyway

Very wet old day at North Weald ....400BHP and wet surface are not ideal companions

Back to TTS on Tuesday. They (Darran) spent all afternoon (till 8pm!) designing and fabricating a Alloy Rad for the car. They buy the core in from their supplier but everything else is custom. So I now have a a very nice, rubber mounted, alloy rad which should help with the water temps as the summer progresses.
