Is this event actually on now? If so it might be worth moving it into the actual events area in the correct month :agree:
do we have to pay a deposit or not or is it cash on arrival?
sorry for the delay guys yes the event is on deposit wise id imagine they will want £100 deposit so ill do as before and get 10 deposits of £10, obviously who ever pays deposit goes to the front of the cue for the power runs.
will start taking deposits in jan/feb time as we all know its a bit tight this time of year

Looking forward to this! My engine is all standard (bar some hoses, an air filter, and a side exit), so looking forward to seeing how close to standard power it is!
Should b a good day mate. Be interesting see your results what boost you runningQuote:

what power are you guys hoping for then ? ill be happy with anything over 185bhp and i reckon if grant (madfive) does one full 30psi run he will see 235-240bhp
Count me in for the chester convoy
well spoke to justin today and he said that the cars only done 134miles of beding in. and he dosent like the idear or me running anymore then 20psi. and he told me that i should only do one run at that. im in a corner and dont no what to do. any ideas.?:confused:Quote:
Originally Posted by BluntyR5GTT
yeah do as he says fella not worth blowing it up all for the sake of a dyno day, get it bedded in and we will return for another run i might even stick another 4psi up mine as well ;)
cheers mate the cars only running 5psi atm. just dont want people think that ive talked the talk and not walk the walk. if you no what i mean. just dont want to let anyone down.;)Quote:
Originally Posted by BluntyR5GTT
cant see why anyone would think that fella it cant have 30psi whacked through it if its not bedded in yet, like i say we can arrange another dyno session once your up and running proper
Personal for me the best way to run an engine in is to run it hard:D
It's all about piston ring seal breaking in to which I would say the first 20 miles the most important.
Sound :) think we are meeting at the little chef is eastham ... not sure what time yet but will PM ya :)Quote:

whats your spec tony ?
yeah im picking alex up then eastham lil chef it is, whats peoples opinion on route? motorways along way, think i'd rather go a54, 10 less miles and 1 min longer lol?
just a little note for you all, just be careful when coming onto the industrail estate as there is a police holding cell centre there so be a bit wary where to plant the right foot ;)
specs pretty standard really. std cam, carrera fmic, t3 acttuator on t25/t28 not sure spec of turbo, turbo guy just gave me it for free and said it'd do allright :P lol i know its got a .49 ex housing tho. big downpipe 2 3/4 ich gt tuning ex system.
boosts about 15psi
defo be interesting see them results its crying out for a bit more boost on that turbo ;)
Prefer none motorway :) a54 sounds gooood mateQuote:

well worth doing just finished playing with mine today ready for satarday. car feels so much better :)Quote:

More of a set the boost to the 1.2 rather than aiming for a boost figure.
Tony id imagine your car on that turbo would benefit from a 285 cam and another 3-5 psi. Good job you took that valve off.
yeah it was a stupid gt tuning one, didnt matter what i did with the nuts/threads still overboosting. so junked it lol 18psi is around where i'd like to leave it. to be honest 15s still pretty fun :D i drive it with alot less anger than i used to so power isnt everything for me anymore, i just love being out in it pootling around.
I have a piper 285 with springs and vernier but....... same old story, no time to fit it lol. got new pistons and liners too among many other things but...... :)you get the idea.
tubular manifold should arrive soon too but..................... prob never fit it lol atleast its big shiny and nice to look at.
Hi mate gonna still try and get to this, had a few teething probs with the new engine. Will the guy who you said could set the carb up be there?Quote:

i'd say get a few hundered miles, heating up cooling down and an oil change and run it as you want it to be ran :D still got a few days
Well u get up to 4 runs so maybe start at 10 and work it up a bit. But id listen to what justin says. Went out in your car with him today to get a cossie fmic and go the engineers so did a few miles lol.Quote:

Think ill lay off the accelerator untill ive been on the rr let him check its not detting.
Bloody hell I have got to keep up with ya in my completely standard 5 .... should be fun ha haQuote:

Well im gonna say a massive thanks to blunty for a great day.:agree: And it was really good to put names to faces. happy with my results at 184bhp and 184 lb tq but need to fit afr g and re-drll needle valve as fueling was great up to 5.3k then bottomed out of fuel. :sad2: but on the plus side of things it was only running 17psi. so loads of room for improvement. :D ps roll on the next rr day.
Good job organising blunty, thanks :)
It was good to talk with pip gardner afterward too. Nice to talk with a tuner that knows what he's talking about and who doesn't feel the need to fill conversations with BS like so many others. Real nice dynapacks dyno, only 25mins from me and I didn't know it was there.
Was a great day, really nice to catch up with everyone. Thanks again Blunty for organising the day. Good turn out too :D
Had a good day , catching up with old people i know and meeting new ones. Well sorted blunty.
Bit gutted that my clutch started slipping 2 weeks ago and i could only manage a stable run at 14psi ... got a feeling theres a bit of oil on it as on way home it improved and started holding more boost ... Just the way things go ...
think i will be looking at paddle clutch next :)
absolutely thrilled by the great feedback from this day as its my first event iv organised whilst being a member of rtoc so ill defo be doing more in fact check out the proposed events section as there is a few dates there that i want you guys to pick from.

gutted i missed this, turbo died last week but hopefully will make the next one, sounds like it was a good day
oh no mate thats not good, if your after anyone rebuilding your turbo for a good price let me know
Fantastic day out - really enjoyed it! Shame we had a few issues with roads being closed, but we got there in the end :laugh:
Great to meet some new faces and also catch up with some old school memebers ;) We even managed to have a spot of lunch at a local cafe, which was nice. I just wish I brought my GTT along now, but never mind. It certainly renewed my enthusiasm for the cars :agree:
Big thanks to the organiser :agree::agree::agree:
Roll on the summer for the NW RTOC karting event - watch this space.......... ;)
That was only at 4000RPM, because we abandoned the run due to the AFR going to about 16 :crap:. The engine is standard.. standard turbo, standard boost, etc. That was 88bhp at the flywheel too :cry:Quote:

Next job for me is to fit my AFR kit, and set the carb up.
Found one of the main wires was hanging off the alternator, which meant the battery was flat every time I came to the car! Could have had something to do with the poor power??
Forgot to add... was an awesome day. Good job Blunty, and well up for another one when I get my fueling sorted!
Nice to meet some people too :agree:
