Agreed. Looks amazing mate. Top darts.Nice mate very nice hands down to you with all the effort
here is a link that scoff has sent me with the loom in place, he has done a great job in hiding the loom to keep the engine bay as empty as possible for me, and if all goes well i will have a video later today of the car up and running

Sorry phil heard it blew up on the rollers matey after only making 75bhp @41psi
you joker
you arse hole
Phil asked that I upload a video of it running, so here we go !

It looks like there might be some port wall wetting with the injectors being so far from the inlet valves (slight stumble after ovverun before idle returns and transient throttle being a pig to set) but I think that should improve once I get a map done. If not, Phil, you might want to think about adding an idle control valve so we can introduce some idle-calm down/dash pot effect.

If needed I have a couple of spare valver ICV valvesPhil asked that I upload a video of it running, so here we go !

Wow thank you Chris let's hope it behaves when mappingPhil asked that I upload a video of it running, so here we go !

It's good to hear it running again Phil.
Excellent Phil not long now
Cheers logg and cheers dave for all the late nights you spent with meLol on helping me get it back together
Be interesting to see how well she goes
Boost hose blown off at idle. Not a good sign
received a pm from scoff last night letting me know the car now has a base map and has now been running for a good couple of hours with no real issues apart from idle is not as crisp as chris could get it but i think for now i can live with that but i do have good oil pressure and the engine temp is good as well and should be able to collect the car next thursday, so hopefully soon it will be on the rollers for some full throttle mapping and see how it goes
Excellent news Phillip.
cheers logg
As said on the phone matey sounding good, keep me posted on progress and results
Idle is fine phil, what I was saying was that idle was poor if I tried to lean it out to where I wanted it. That's just an injector thing, not worth worrying about

ok cool chris cheers
Looks awesome
Sorry for being thick mate but I'm not to sure what you meanLooks awesome
Some more progress of the car on the rollers today I'll let scoff tell you how he kept the throttle open in 5th for quite some time if he wants to

Scoff, u employing ghosts to do your mapping now lol
Evening all just received a pm from scoff the car had it's first mapping with boost today and mate quite some good power but it looks like I may need to look into a bigger compressor front end to find some more bhp but so far I'm really pleased as its making almost 270bhp at 25 psi but with some more mapping to come over the next few days hopefully Chris can find a few more bhp. Here are some pics so far

nice one phil happy days and vnt turbo mapped by scoff at 25psi no problem
seems to get the pressure before it gets the torque? cam timing could be advanced more maybe?
impressive results tho
Good news Phil
Cheers lads for your nice comments it's good to see all the work finally paying off, hopefully there still might be a little bit more to come from the mad scientist and I'm already searching now for a bigger front compressor housing
Great work guys. Hope to see it finished soon.
Phil, that is very good power matey for only 25psi, well done
Well yeah, it wasn't responding to any more boost at those lower RPM's so the gradual boost curve is deliberate (controlled by ECU). There wasn't any point in sticking 25psi in that early. It's also a result of the VNT, if you consider how it controls boost. As the vanes open it'll want to breath better and so torque doesn't drop of as quickly as it would with a smaller fixed turbine. The result is a longer, flatter torque curve.seems to get the pressure before it gets the torque? cam timing could be advanced more maybe?
impressive results tho
It responded to the extra boost higher up though. Advancing the cam might ruin power output higher up so I don't think he should do that. His engine generally is working really well though, certainly carb-fed GTT's dont make anything like that power, but I think he could do better still if he bins the 60trim T3 and thinks about the cam profile a bit more. It wasn't responding to any more than 25psi.
It's so interesting all this stuff
WoW
Must be a real animal to drive with all that torque through the ATB
Looking very good, Going to be a fantastic animal to drive..
Phil asked me for a quick video of it on the dyno so here goes
Watch out for the sparks though, turns out the oil cooler pipes were arching with the ignition live on the top of the alt. I had to fit some insulated terminals after this run.

Loving the sparks. I better insulate mine too as mine runs the same.

cheers for the video Chris its great to see it finally making some nice power. Looking forward to getting back in it and remembering what a 5's like but with a bit more power
cheers see you Thursday mate
Just looks like the throttle cable is attached to the bulkhead. I thought u might get problems if the engine moves and opens/closes the throttle, perhaps there is plenty of slack?Sorry for being thick mate but I'm not to sure what you mean
ok mate yer i think it looks like its attached to the bulkhead but its not it just loops round near it and then is connected straight to the bracket on the inlet manifold
Awesome work
you know it makes sense john i still cant believe how well its gone and i aint got the car back yet and im already looking to buy more bits to get more powerAwesome work
Do it in stages like me Brigsy. Within a year or so you'll be fully efi without skinting yourself to much.Awesome work
As I said before phill this has got to be the ultimate road going five (c1j) with so much useable power. It'll be effortlessly quick.

Wow, lovely car with lots of power win win,
Well done phil with all your effort. I rembering seeing a picture or 2 when it was sat up for ages in a state on yor drive.
Cheers rich it seems ages ago nearly 3 years since then mate let's just hope it passes the Mot on Saturday so I can make the fete day I have organised you coming up to it in a car mate
I cant see it failing mot mate. Roll on thursday
