Turbo Chimaera update

[macdeb]

Did some fettling on the car and took it for a power run today at SRR to find out results. First time I've met Charlie, nice guy.
It's now pushing, 573BHP and 600lb/ft torque and is EPIC. Thought some may like

Mac that epic....well done mate. That certainly gives us all something to chase. All your hard work has been worth it. Really pleased for you. Get those sticky tyres on and show us what it can do.

[Richard 858]

Bloody hell Mac, steady on, you're putting some of us to shame! What gearbox, diff, driveshafts etc. are you running to deal with that lot?

[TV8]

wow, is that with a RV8 or one of the LSs?

[zed4]

That's an RV8

[Sardonicus]

Weird .... didnt feel that powerful when I was in it ..... ... .................... .. sorry Mac couldn't resist thats legend geezer look at that curve climb

[macdeb]

It's RV8 450 [a little ole 4.6] Much work got into it, low compression, forged pistons etc, etc. Now running 18 psi boost. Drive is through a TKO 600 gearbox, McCloud RST twin plate clutch and some 'Dave Mac' driveshafts.

Charlie said the fuelling is spot on throughout and is the most powerful RV8 he's had.

4.5 rv8! very good work. I cant imagine what that is like to drive

[NickOrangeCars]

Wow, that's bonkers! Great work Mac, hope your going to take it to the drag strip next year some proper competition for Derek now.

Excellent results Mac!

Interesting how your turbo torque curve is the same profile as your BHP curve.

An NA torque curve is completely different.

Bring on Shakey!

Congrats! I want to go the same route
Peter: I guess thats what you get with low comp turbo, everything comes in at the same time
