Chris, big favour could you squeeze me on in the morning as i have to leave at the latest 2pm
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)
Well after cleaning my car doing a few bits n bobs! It was ready for tomorrow, took her out for a blast down the m60 and disaster! The rad started leaking again!!! Aghh so will have to come in the van now!! Really gutted!still attending tho! I've tried rad weld to no joy and Royz had a spare rad but that had a hole in it too!
Anyway still coming might get the van rolling roaded! Ha
No probs, looking forwards to meeting some members and putting a face to a nameI'll be leaving at 2pm too, be nice to see your car and have a look at another B18FT conversion.

Cant wait for tomorrow, whats the plan with the order of cars on the rollers? Or is it whoever turns up first and puts the name down?
Seems fare to me bud.. I'm just spectating this time
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.
Meeting robbo at the services,so see you all there.Was hoping to be running but not now.
So I had to change my wheels today back to some old 15" I have god what a difference I have 16s normally but I think I'm happier with the 15" less bumpy not so Much noise.. See how they go tomorrow on the way to scoffs

Good day today,not happy about the rain on the way home though.
Good day at efi and a great host
Will be on here for help though and tips rebuilding the engine..
Fantastic day
Wish i could of stayed longer but had to shoot off to A&E for my son(everythings ok) just another one in a million worries that family life brings lol
Ill upload my graph and videos soon, really impressed by my cars performance today i didnt think i'd be anywhere near those figures.
Heres my afr/boost chart, boost spikes to 18.7 initially then levels to 17psi, max torque was at 18.7psi spike at 4700 and max hp was at 17psi 5700rpm
Heres my hp/torque curve 201bhp
Just got back, I'm in agony with my back, 6 hrs driving in those buckets of mine.
I had a great day and met some nice people. I'm also happy with my result, 170bhp 239lbs
lots of torqueJust got back, I'm in agony with my back, 6 hrs driving in those buckets of mine.

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.
Just got in after an eventfull journy home, my brothers headgasket went
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
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
Heres my hp/torque curve 201bhp
Great result tony! Wots your spec?
Yeah the b18s make good torque, great for on track, boost was at just over a bar 15.7 psilots of torque
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.
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?
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
Gibbos got it nowOh and my car made 198bhp @ 189ftlbs of torque. Not bad to say I've had her 6 month

how did you manage to blow the gasket? long pull in 4th/5th? leaning out? empty float? overheat?
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.
What a excellent day well done to Scoff and all involved in running the day.
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.
Didn't take many photos but did take this sneaky one.
