460.8 Bhp and not looking for bragging rights
Discussion
Thought I would start a new topic, so not to hi-jack the other group exhaust purchase thread.
Picked the car up yesterday from Jetstream Motorsport at Bruntingthorpe and drove back to Newcastle upon tyne. Oh....... my...... goshsshshshsh.
Took it easy from back roads to M1 just to listen to the new noises......some more deep throat growl from the new exhaust and new sounds from engine / turbos. Normal light throttle (up to 2,500rpm) and similar to before, but with bit more torque.
Couple of straight bits ahead, check water and oil temp are hot enough, yep, open the trottle pedal around 3/4....... jeeeeeeeees... 3rd gear (with P Zero corsa) and breaks traction...quickly to 4th and another huge thrust of power, and the noise is just awesome.
On to the motorway and some clear traffic. (Just in case BIB here) It's quick (f...king quick). Huge amounts of grunt, very drivable, very smooth torque, just an amazing upgrade.
A huge thank you to the boys at Jetstream, to Trevor, Dave and Matt for putting in some late hours.
I will post some more comments soon along with Dyno figures.
Cheers,
Ian

What did you get done?
Take one M400 engine (first M400 development engine from Lee Noble) in my 3R, then add Pro Alloy Intercooler, Roushe / Piper exhaust, Pro alloy hard pipe (Also need Pro Alloy water header tank because the old plastic one gets in the way of the hard pipe), upgraded fuel pump and loom. Then get expert to re-map on dyno (Quite a lot of working unsociable hours)
Result: 460.8 Bhp. I will post the final dyno readings here (Sorry forgot this morning). Plus one very happy and satisfied owner.
Everything else in 6 speed gearbox / clutch etc standard.

that sounds exactly like my experience. I had pretty much the same mods done, no hard pipe though. from a different dyno but pretty much the same power.
If you've got p zero corsas they should grip like hell until you've used a couple of millimeters of tread and they're getting old, then all grip disappears. Wheel spin in third? Change those corsas so you can use the power, ps2's or f1 assy are great on the road.

Ian,
Long time no see mate,
are you still getting the BM track toy ?

Hi Owen,Long time no see mate,
are you still getting the BM track toy ?
Owen.
I hope you are well, and good to see you enjoying racing the Clio. No track toys for me just yet. Just taken voluntary redundancy (bit of a shock last week) and looking forward to new challenges for the future.
Really, really enjoying Noble with upgrades.
Cheers,
Ian.
