I did mine last week and managed 335 and 351 torque, was with the help of some Mark Adams fettling, before that it was woeful! Good luck, hopefully you get what you want otherwise you could be going down a slippery slope as I did.

[jojackson4]

It's for a benchmark
Before I start messing with bits and bobs to see if this DIY tuning is worth you getting your hands dirty


262 bhp ish ^^^

Not sure why I looked at that! Mine is on the rollers on Tuesday.....

a bog standard 5lt should be 260 to 270 at flywheel if in good health.

No, if only! That's at the fly on the Mech Repairs RR in Cheltenham. M Adams calculations then bring it up to those figures. The engine is a Taraka in good health, decatted with larger injectors and AFM. I'm not overly hung up on max power, just want the best balance possible between best driving characteristics and (ok...power!). Seems to work well and at whatever power it's ever put out it's always out performed my limited abilities. They are beasts whatever the power.

Not a stock 500 then?

No, it's the Japanese word for otter ;)

Think the Taraka is the conversion where TVR Power use a blended base.

[phazed]

267 bhp.


TV8s, QBee and my car are on the rollers on Tuesday at Surrey RR.

Hopefully the power curves will be reflected by the engine sizes;

5.0, 5.3, 5.5.

Any guesses?

Anyone else fancy joining us?
