20th April - midlands rr day @noble motorsport

alright everyone iv orgsanised another rolling road meet/event over on the r5 fb group and i was hoping you guys over here would be interested to join up and make it a cracking meet, alot of people who are coming are members of rtoc but there is loads that aint rtoc members and i think this could be a good way to maybe attract some new faces to the club?

as always im taking 10 deposits of £10 to secure the venue for the day and the 10 who pay will run in the first 10 on the day. we currently have 3 deposits paid with another 2 meant be sorted by the end of jan.

Thanks for sorting this opportunity out for the club Andy, will be a good chance to get to know some more 5 nutters. I dont think you could have had picked a more central uk location either, nice to see there is club intrest already. Roll on the rollers :)

not a problem ash mate, that was my thinking behind it as its central to all of us, next one will be a vote as to where members want it

hi glad to see you back. hope all is well.

Cool :)

cheers guys all is very well atm got engaged at xmas and have really kicked back in at the gym (bloody needed it). as you might of seen via fb my car is having a full restoration and to think it was only meant be both sills and a tad of welding.

had a thought maybe if alex was free we could get him to attend this event and bring a few membership packs with him? see if we could get some new blood signed up on the day maybe at a slightly reduced rate? i could always bring the laptop along if required so registering wouldnt be a problem

Well te engines going in this week so hopefully get the miles done before this :)

good man paul :agree:

i might see if a few of the ford lads are interested in this, as ideally id like to have more than 9-10 people running on the day

First post!

whats the rolling road there like. found that 3 places local to me say me cars to low and still dont know what the old girl is running bhp wise

you shouldnt have a problem fella they run all types on the rollers there

not long for this now guys hope your all ready or nearly ready for it, is anyone else interested in coming along and putting there car on the rollers

Im hopping to attend if cars sorted coming straight from work don,t think ill run though.:)

I'm hoping to possibly come up to this (all the way from Cornwall) to view a car!

Be good to meet a few people and chat about 5's

(I'll be the one in the corner without a Renault lol :scared:)

All that way? Can't you just ask a member to pop round lol.. We don't want anyone in the corner just make your self known bud..

Ha, yeah I'll try and have a chat with a few peeps. Be good to see a nice collection of 5's.

I don't mind travelling to check a car out if it sounds right. Nice to have a chat with owner and check it over myself.

The car I'm talking about belongs to Nick Wyse. After pairing a wanted as on the rtoc Facebook page he commented and said he might sell it but wants to do a couple of jobs and go to the r/r day. That's fine with me as again I don't mind waiting it its the right car.

Incidentally if anyone does know a bit more about his J plate Raider then I'd love to know. He seems to have described it pretty honestly and judging by the pics I've found online it seems ok.

Anyway sorry, back on topic....

Hopefully see you there!!

My engines in and now I'm battling with a few electrical gremlins, I'm still hoping to get it finished in time. If it comes down to the wire can I just head along on the day and pay for a run then? If not I might just head over anyway to meet a few fellow rtoc'ers :cool:

of course you can aiden will be good if you can make it :)

not long to go now guys, are we all ready or have you still got a few bits to get finished?

should be a good day hopefully get a few more to run on the day as well

little heads up, we have had 3 and possibly be 4 people pull out of running on the day, so its looking as if this day might not be able go ahead unless we can find another 4 definate runners.

im going give it the rest of this week see what comes up and if no takers will have to cancel the event and let noble know asap. Obviously any deposits paid will be refunded via paypal.

alright everyone im doing all i can to get this day on, we could do with a couple more running on the day so any of you that are 50/50 on what your thinking of doing could you please let me know asap if you can run the car.

At the moment the rubber duck (Yellow 5) is a runner and I will be attending. I have got the time off work from my second job too :D

hi aiden will you be running the car, would be great if you can as iv just had another guy drop out who had paid deposit :(

i have just emailed noble to ask if they would still be ok with holding the day even if we only get 6-8 runners

Yeah I'll be running. Won't be expecting a massive power output as its pretty standard and only pushing 8psi boost atm but I've never been on a rolling road or to an RTOC event so should be fun. Are you going to be needing a deposit from me?

no need for deposit mate as they have already been paid, so just a case of turning up and paying on the day :)

hopefully you will enjoy the day the dyno days have been a great success in the past

just had this reply back from noble so were all good

Hi Andy

Thanks for the heads up, We can run 1 car or we can we run as many as you like , As long as we have a reasonably secure idea of numbers before the day .

The cost of the runs varies with the number of people.

1 car is £45.00 inc vat

Up,to 10 cars is £40.00 inc vat each

11 to 14 cars is £35.00 inc vat each

15 cars and over is £30.00 inc vat each

If you can keep me up to date i can organise our work load accordingly.


Look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards Mike

is anyone else interested in running there car at this event?

Mine was disappointing to me.. I over tightend my actuator far too much as I was using the one off my t25 I didn't fully understand how they worked I just thought winde it in you get more boost.. I was wrong :( so the good Guys of noble said get a decent fitting actuator and chuck another 10psi through it.. Got to also put a 0.9 ac into my carb as it leaned off at 6500.. Great day great venue and great people..

135.8 bhp 138.3 lbft
Boost Crept up till 4200 revs at 1bar then struggled to make 1.1 till 6000 revs

Iv now learnt how much movement should be in a actuator :ashamed: I had it fully wound in and it took me all the power of greyskull to get it on :ashamed:

Will have this sorted ASAP..

Great day :agree:

Its a shame paul but not end of world mate at least nothing went wrong you have put engine together well

:D you were pleased with how it was running..... imagine another 60bph on top :D shouldnt be too difficult :agree:

Anymore figures peeps? who won on the day?

Oh don't get me wrong I'm happy it didn't blow up :) thundercat has sorted me another actuator already and I'm looking for a bleed valve just incase.. I was just disappointed I'd fitted it incorrectly. Easy fix and quick todo as I said to the guys I only live 40mins away from noble so we will arrange another trip up again. Was perfect weather for it too think we all got red faces.

Guys ill get this thread updated with graphs/vids and a good write up on monday.

Massive thanks to the people that attended and made the effort to get to noble today. Rtoc spirit was strong i think we should defo consider another day at noble.

On another note pauls car with witbout doubt do 200+ when he sorts his little probs.

As far as preload goes, i have had 15-20mm of preload with a -34 and never ever had any problems...the problem with too much preload is usually gate not opening enough and boost creep... So unless your actuator bracket is flimsy as more preload isnt a problem?

And what a nice tungy it is to its a credit to him very well set up :agree:

Thanks Paul.Wont be long mate,couple of small tweaks and you will be where you want to be.I too think your going to easy see 200hp out of your set up.:agree:

i think all the cars that were there were a credit to there owners :agree: it was nice to see a group of them together and everyone having a good old chin wag etc which is what these things are all about.

im in process of uploading vids/pics onto photobucket but its taking ages, also gavin from noble has said he is going to email me all the graph files over so ill be able to upload the, as well.

MASSIVE THANKS TO ANDY for sorting out the day:agree::agree::agree:

And also to peps that made it there:agree: real good to put faces to names and names to user names:laugh::wasntme:

Was a blinding day, loved seeing so many motors:cool:

Was chuffed to bits that my car made it there and back without problems:wasntme: and I'm please that I know what I need to do to get the car in better state of tune, bring on national day so I can get it back on the rollers and get a better idea of what power it's producing:cool:

Wallace i have a copy of the printout for your car when we did track n road rolling road in essex when Dunc owned it did pretty well back then for standard setup

I wonder if we've got the same graph James because I've got an old one too, made 136bhp iirc

But since then its obviously been stripped and had me messing with it:scratch::wasntme: and there's an extra 1psi of boost:laugh:

Don't suppose you know, or have any info on the turbo?

According to the original ad through bob it's a T2 hybrid?:scratch:

Come on rtoc let's here you views its well known I'm disappointed in this.. Is the scoff around? All suggestions welcome It has a t28 ep cam timed up at 112degrees.. When I got home I found to knackerd jubalee clips were loose.. I know I need to look over my boost pipes but no time available at the minute.. These graphs mean nothing to me :scratch: any tips I hopefully will get time to go over the car Sunday.. Three very nice member have offers me a bleed valve and an actuator and a 0.9 ac to get the fuelling right.. :coffee:

What boost were you running for the run?

When I left home 1.3 but by the time I got there the run went from 0.9 to 1.1 and noble said it was creeping boost (I guess that was the loose jubalee) fuelling went lean at 6500

Is that measured at the carb top or the a.e.i line?

You will need either an adjustable or rising rate fpr to stop the leaning off high up the revs and a decent fuel pump.

Carb top bud

That is about right then for that sort of boost, actually quite decent, what ever the boost is at the carb top you can take roughly 3psi off and that's what the engine is actually seeing.

Get the boost leaks sorted for definate, bad news for the turbo, make sure all the vac pipes are either clipped or cable tied and use good quality clips on the boost hoses.

Adjustable fpr, -34/32 actuator a steth and give it some more boost something like 1.5 bar at the carb top, 22psi will be what the engine actually see's.

I rekon it will make some decent power then that's for sure;)

Sorry i meant 1.3/4 bar:wasntme:

also, if you had some big boost leaks it's likely the turbo was working way to hard even for the small amount of boost the carbtop actually was seeing.

Much better off measuring the boost from the aei line also;)
