Supercharged AJP8. one last step!
Discussion
Phucking fenomenal !!
Oooh lets have a look at that plenum ~ Whilst day-dreaming on the bog the other day I was thinking of building a GRP plenum with internal bores to even the charge and average cylinder temp. I decided that I would have to cut a hole in the bonnet to mount the plenum efficiently (I think there was a Mopar car from the 70s which did it).
Then I found I had run out of paper
TMI ??

Nice work, did Dave have to fudge his dyno so you could get a reading?
I think so. Had about 4 straps and 4 sacks of stones in the boot to stop the wheelspin at higher RPM thats what caused the saw tooth effect at the top of the graph. I hear you bent a wheel on a kerb when you were up there. Dave also said he would never go out in a clients car again especuially a Cerb after the ride in yours.a1rak said:

Traction was an issue for sure, but Dave is the man with Emerald mapping. i bent the wheel on the road camber with sideways action! (choccie spiders)Two people in the car, and three in the boot, plus every bit of ballast we could fit in, a reliable reading after 5k was impossible though, we got one at 712bhp!

That is mega power.Two people in the car, and three in the boot, plus every bit of ballast we could fit in, a reliable reading after 5k was impossible though, we got one at 712bhp!
You bent a spider just by drifting
Think i will defe keep my Azev's for track days now then.

Wow Iike that!!
Hope it is a fun drive! What's the throttle response feel like with your bespoke throttle bodies and the power on tap so early?
John at Emerald who does all the fine tuning of the maps was very impressed with the responce. "its like a bike engine" was one comment. I will log the responce using the Emeralds datalogger and post up the results. It will be interesting to compare it to a modern engine like the lexus V8 that made mag headlines by being so responsive tickover to 8000rpm in 0.9sec if I remember.Hope it is a fun drive!
