more fuel for fire !!!

and this is what my car did today though power is about there its shows a drivetrain loss of about 100 bhp though did not max it out just upto 5800rpm and as you can see at that point it started to climb again dyno man reckons if pushed it further it would of pushed over 500 and torque is ok but needs more , sorry about quality but am shite at this kinda thing

Sounds like you are happy with it and perhaps (just perhaps), BO55's car is not the same.

I soooo need to persuade the wife the sc is a good idea.

ye i am and chuffed to bits as its awesome basically if no one can see its 482(redline) at 5800 rpm torque 637nm (orange line)which is about 470 lbs i think sure someone will tell me its wrong and 363@wheels (blue line)and transmission loss 110bhp(green line)and to add to s/c cooling on road i took out those rubber vents in bonnet that look like there in backwards and block grill and in 5 at 5800rpm it was doing 251 km/h

I can't help thinking that 100bhp in the drivetrain is a shameful amount of waste.
That's like saying it takes a cooking 1.6l engine just to power the gearbox etc.

Terrible really when you think about it.

[tiler]

Nice one.
The last time i had mine on the rollers we ran it up in
5th gear to. 159mph on the rollers speedo at 6040revs with the 391 diff in.

[BigNige]

6040?

That's pretty precise!
Sure it wasn't 6050?

and 363@wheels (blue line)

Which is remarkably close to the 356 Chris got in his, in fact if you was to just smooth out the flatness on his graph you would be there.

Quick dial 999 someone, major fire breaking out at PH towers...

i think chris,s car is there ,ok heat build up is rapid and kills the power but we can see its not far of what they qouted on flywheel power but i think there is a mis calculation on drivetrain losses also they tested cars with standard headers which are cast i think and will retain more heat and most of us have wortec headers which are thinner and let out shed loads more heat which also i think hads to the heat build up issue so there for reduces power on chargers rather than gains power ! or is this a pile of crap theory in my head ???

[caspy]

Just out of interest, why did they stop at 5800 ??

[74TC]

as i did not know where red line rpm was and taking it easy on on instuctions of the you brian sir !

[caspy]

No probs...it revs to 6800!! Glad you pleased.

[74TC]

god ye am pleased does and goes like you said it would and sure will push over 500 bhp given a bit more of a push . am i right or wrong about headers though ?

[caspy]

TBH something i never gave thought to, best leave that for the technical bods to comment on!! How many miles you got on her now ?

[74TC]

the magical thousand just as you told me to , and it is so addictive this is the more i drive it the more i want to not get out so yes as far as im concerned it does what you says it does and so you can breath again now !!

[caspy]

Never stopped breathing!!! I will say that it will continue to loosen up daily now, have 4 k on mine and a different car to the one with 1k on it, i know every car is different, but had a few of these now and is always the same.

[74TC]

though the headers alone do it for me even if they reduce the power as they look amazing sitting either the side of the block glowing red it amazed me that they did not melt !!!

[caspy]

You were making some serious heat then!!

[74TC]

and the torque is over 100lbs more than my lamborghini gallardo had so who needs one when we all have a awesome v8 monsters

[74TC]

take it ht leads and surrounding parts can take the heat of these headers as never seen headers glow like these exept on race cars and engine dyno's

[caspy]

Under very extreme circs have nevr had a prob with ht leads etc and heat.
