http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2208692778...e#ht_500wt_950

bluntys 5 is alive
all ready for the dyno day on sat now, just gotta give it a good full valet tomorrow n friday.
my god what a bloody handful it was in the wet earlier had a little drive from stoke to crewe loved it the enthusiasm is back boys
You got the five smile back, so no selling.
its a big smile fella ear to ear
Really looking forward to seeing this 5 On sat and it sounds like a beast, any chance of a passenger ride! Lol
yeah sure mate thats not a problem, ill be the skinhead with a black beatles t shirt on
Lol nice one mate I'll hold u to that, wot sort of power u expecting?
I really dont know anything over 210 am happy. :-)
210! And how much does it weight! = happy days lol
they weigh around 830-850kg if memory serves me right lol
it should really fly 210 as i have a similar set up to an old member off here and he made 236bhp, it made 178bhp last time on a smaller turbo with no headwork etc at 19psi and only ran to just over 5k. will be running 24-25psi this day maybe even a touch more
Should be a great result then mate bet its insane! to drive
its lairy to say the least haha, but there are much quicker cars on the site than mine ultimate goal is to hit a 1/4 mile quicker than 12.0
2 very quick pics of my car from earlier today this was after a wash and poorboys blackhole glaze ( dodo juice supernatural hybrid finished it off after)
Looking good mate, u gota love tungy's!
she looking good matey.. ahh i love r5's they just dont grow old on me. (dj , still logged in as rare! )
looking very nice.... I need to get in on the cleaning product action!
makes the paint look so fresh
cheers guys pics aint the best of quality and it looks even better now the wax/sealant is on
few more pics (bit clearer) lol
got a quick few engine bay pics
another cheeky un iv just got
yes that is a bmw m3 down the drive its my uncles and lets just say he hates my car as it showed him up not once but twice he was gutted
really happy with the car atm especially after saturdays dyno results of 230bhp and 213lb/ft @24psi on a very rich carb.
so plan is to now whip the carb off and sort the fuelling ideally i want it around 11.5/11.7 afr on full boost then it gives me a bit of a safe happy medium
also received my big jim racing downpipe cant wait to get this fitted along with a full 2.5" system over winter
Amazing result mate.

thats fair enough mate they are such a great wkend toy real big fun factor
Yeah I'm so pleased to be part of the club mate, I've only been to one event and I already feel part of the community
thats really good to know fella, am glad you come along to the dyno day as they are a great way of meeting members etc, i think national day is going to be really good next year just hope we get a goof turnout.
also there will be another dyno day around april/may next year
Anyway andy wot changes you making to yours over winter?
as iv posted a few posts previously got fit this bjr downpipe/elbow and then having a full 2.5" system made to fit it. also going to be fitting some group a exhaust valves into the head and then obviously sorting the fuelling out. am hoping to see around 240-245bhp at the same 24psi as i run now then were going run around 28-30psi for 1/4 mile runs etc.
the main thing is going to sort all the bodywork out will be doing all the prep work myself and with help of a mate
Pleanty to do then lol, sounds great mate, try and keep the updates coming
certainly will mate, going be very busy and very cold lol
bit of a boring update compared to normal but just had my insurance renewal through off footman james at £393 (classic policy) was £324 last year, i then noticed that my policy states 6000 miles which is way too many.
So i called them up stated i wanted to change that to 3000 miles and i couldnt believe the difference £204.42.
Im absolutely over the moon i even rang around a few other companies eg graham sykes and hic, sykes wanted £363 and hic £406
gotta love classic policies
I didn't think footman insured cars with more than 20% power increase.. The only one I can get insured with is adrain flux
got an update for you all iv just invested in mappable ignition (megajolt) got all i require for £261 this is being fitted and mapped by chris (scoff) over winter and will finally get rid of the bloody pants aei unit. boost will be set at 25-26psi really looking forward to comparing the before and after results
Your results are very impressive!
Congratulation.
After many many delay I was also able to measure my car with a G meter (AP22).
Result is 183Hp @ wheel, which is about 215Hp. Pressure is 21psi.
I'm really interested how much will you gain with the mappable ignition.
I'm using megasquirt both for ignition and for injection.
thanks fella will certainly be interesting to see the difference thats for sure
what is this g meter that you speak of? have you finally fitted that t25.49 i had you built ?
Yes mate, it is with the T25 you have helped me to bought.
AP22 is a G-force meter
http://www.race-technology.com/specification_2_84.html
You fix it in your car and make a drag run. It measures the G-force and time.
From that values speed, acceleration and even power can be calculated.
(for power you have to set the Cv and the weight of the car)
I have this unit for 3 years now and I can make measurements after each modification to see how it has effected the car.
ah right i had a felling it was something like that, would be good to see your car ran on a proper dyno like dyno dynamics or even a hub dyno like what i use.
glad that turbo is doing the business for you they make a great turbo on the gtt. iv in fact got 2 more orders for the same spec
well guys my car is now down the drive and parked up for winter, just need to wash it and get the breathable/waterproof cover over it.
If any of you are mates with me over on facebook then you might know that my back is in a state again so i couldnt even move my car. So big thanks to my bro for taking it for a spin and bringing it down the drive for me.
Any work that needs be done can now be done in the safety of my drive also going look at getting the car into a local bodyshop to freshen up certain areas of the car
Alright andy, Soz to hear about your back, get well soon buddy!
