Chris, big favour could you squeeze me on in the morning as i have to leave at the latest 2pm :)
I'll be leaving at 2pm too, be nice to see your car and have a look at another B18FT conversion.
Nice to see how you got round a few of the common concerns that people have with the B18FT (water system set up and that dame MAF unit :laugh:)

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
true to form i won't be there. :(
mates car i repaired to go on rollers blew the bottom end less than 7 days after a rebuild.
my tow car that i planned to drive up instead with snapped its cambelt and destroyed the valve train a week ago.
the wifes car i've been driving around to find a replacement tow car with decided to start misfiring whilst in manchester today. 60mile drive along A roads on 2-3/3-4 cylinders aint fun - coil pack failure.
c'est la bloody vie.

lots of torque :D must pull like a train? or spin the wheels?
-
Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
gutted i couldnt make it guys, lack of £££ this month meant i just couldnt justify it, On a good note i took my carb off my ready ready to rebuild/clean it, hopefully to get rid of the rich idle issue.

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
Just got in after an eventfull journy home, my brothers headgasket went:cry: was like something from the red arrows:laugh:
Aside from that It was a good day, good to see a few people i haven't seen for a while, i was relativly happy with how my car performed.
My print out says 201hp 189ft at 27psi! Lol the boost for the rollers was being measured at the carb top for my runs, was more like 23/24 manifold, scoff also had to put lot of load on the rollers as when it came on boost it was spinning up, it did make 210hp on one of the runs but it wasn't a smooth curve due to the wheel spin so i wasn't happy with it.
I need a larger downpipe and more boost:devil:
My motor is low comp hence the need for more boost, and my downpipe is standard.
Other than a blown boost hose 30 miles from home she ran faultlessly. Even had a little play with an Audi RS 3:smokin:

Yeah the b18s make good torque, great for on track, boost was at just over a bar 15.7 psi :)

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
Had a quality time. Blew a head gasket on the way home. Ill whip the head off I'm a few days and see what's occurring. But thanks to scoff, blocky and Haz.
Good to see all the lads and have a laugh.. Ron, Robin, Glenn, Kev, Ricky and many more! Cheers. :D

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
Oh and my car made 198bhp @ 189ftlbs of torque. Not bad to say I've had her 6 month ;)
By the way who has bought the old orange backyard 5?

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
nothing special with mine really, i think the raceland manifold makes a huge hp difference, my engine really responded well to it. recenetly rebuilt with std internals, 2nd hand very worn piper 285 lol just threw it in anyway. turbos a t28ish i think a friend built and balanced it for me and just said itll go well without much info.
took alot of time adjusting the cam timing. alot of trial and error, and a fmic thats about it really.
Even made up my £30 transmech clutch is still holding well :D wish i could of seen how the others got on.

Gibbos got it now :D
how did you manage to blow the gasket? long pull in 4th/5th? leaning out? empty float? overheat?
-
Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
Long pull in 5th. Didn't lean out or overheat. To be honest, I set the boost up today via the actuator rod. When I went out id give it miles to much, flew upto 30 psi. Although I came off straight away I feel thats where the damage was done. Cause the car fuels mint all the time. Plus I had my eye on it.

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
What a excellent day well done to Scoff and all involved in running the day. :agree:
Saw some excellent cars and new and old faces. :)
I didn't go on the rollers but managnegt to clock up close to 500 miles in one day and no fail. :smokin:
Didn't take many photos but did take this sneaky one. ;)

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
really cool picture. Thanks :D i was really suprised it made that much. wasnt expecting much beyond 170-180 at about 18psi? Cam adjustment made all the difference i think, altho it pulled better more retarded just too laggy and unrespronsive off boost.
i may retard it a couple of degrees.

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
amazing day, nice few pic of my 5 there lol.i didnt run it today as it ran 330 bhp at 16psi on thursday night and there was SOOOO many people there was nice to see some old faces and i could of talked all day but had family function to go to so showed my face for a few hours :cool:
great day, great turn out defo a must for next year!!!!

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)

are there any videos from today?

Re: 2012 Rolling road day @ EFI-PARTS 23rd sept (UPDATE PLEASE READ)
Awesome day, good to catch up with everybody again. Some decent power figures too:agree:
