I what way is it not a 1.4 thenExcept your 5 isn't exactly an ordinary 1.4! Good work though!!
I wasn't saying it's not a 1.4, just said it's not Ordinary. Which is aimed to be a complement because there are none like it!
Sorry miss read your thread .. ( thanks). I don't do forums as I always think people are having a dig or miss read what people right
hi glenn! did u mod the crank caps or conrods?...to attain 8k!
Nah, he just 'looks' at them and they're so sh1t scared that they do what he says
If only the push rods would listen tooNah, he just 'looks' at them and they're so sh1t scared that they do what he says
Chuckle chuckleNah, he just 'looks' at them and they're so sh1t scared that they do what he says
it says alot for the c1j!!
Long live the 1.4 c1jit says alot for the c1j!!
what about liners for 30plus psi boost?
They're steel, with steel rods and forged pistons, arp bolts, etc etcwhat about liners for 30plus psi boost?
hmmmm! so its just the pushrods that dont know whether they're going up or down!!
people used to say steel liners wore quickly, have you had any notable wear on your liners or was there a certain make of steel liners that were of poor quality? or badly built engines wrong ring gaps?
No problems with them wearing tony, but it took some experimentation to find piston rings that would last. Yes, ring gaps are pretty important, they're set to what we thought would be be "about right", no problems to date!
Michael, yes just push rods being a pain but they don't fail all that often and it's a 10 min fix when then do. It would be nice to have something better in there though.
A big thanks to Mike phase 1 16v for sending up some spare rods ready for some more testing on Friday
Good luck for friday
what rings did you go for in the end? and which ones would you avoid in the future?No problems with them wearing tony, but it took some experimentation to find piston rings that would last.

Really Depends On How Good The Liners Are I Had To Have Mine Refinished
oooooo yesGood luck for friday
I may have to hang around for alittle while to see a run when i pop up tomorrowoooooo yes
You helmets up the pod all weekend?
No sorry might be York for me
Went to scoffs last night first run no gas 358 bhp then we did some gas testing 432bhp and 394 lbft wow thanks very much to scoff top man I ell up load some vids later
Awesome that matey. You going for another 50 shot of nitrous? Could see a majic 500 from good old c1j.
Well done again on that awesome power figure
Only 2 pushrods I think there is some more to be had as nos bottle was low my fault thought it was full never mind
Well done again on that awesome power figure
Lets hope the extra power is worth 0.2 seconds
Just keeps on getting better and better, all this and still more to come
vid for ya

epic!
It was a great result, really happy with how well everything is working. Things don't normally go to plan as well as this (I've jinxed it now!!)
Nitrous is doing exactly what we expected it to. There still should be scope for a bit more but it would be good to run it at its current settings for an outing and then think about trying some more for the following event maybe.
Really pleased that his engine is holding together. It should be safer too this year (famous last words) because the extra flow from the new manifold and turbo (I presume this is the reason) have ment that EGT is not as scary as it was last year. Really looking forward to seeing how it goes
one word..... Awesome
Maybe a silly question but are the results being achieved on regular 99 ron pump fuel? or race fuel?
If pump fuel, could race fuel offer yet more power?
Either way a fantastic achievement as i was only just reading a thread on here from 2009, some rally team guy was saying in his opinion no 1.4 was capable of being able to achieve near to 300bhp....oh how wrong was he
C1J porn all the way.

Brilliant!
Thanks been at York drag way today splashing in puddles think I only got grip in 4 th gear lolBrilliant!
In what way different?
Power delivery etc and just the way it drives a lot more rigid seems a lot more comfortable to drive which is good as am getting older lol
lol brilliant
Sounded badass on the strip today. Cant believe how well the gt30 spools up!! C1j power ftw
sounded super quick spooling on the roller vid.
yes really happy with the car need to be going to pod asap
had a good day at york on sunday splashing in the water really good test for the car much better than last years set up
Put the car back on the dyno last night with full bottle of nos mint just what I wanted 445 bhp and 394 lbft lol 1.4 the future not the past 41.6 psi of boost hopefully a 10 in it now thank again the scoff for another Friday night dyno session
cracking work glen when will it be up the pod next
great result guys. is this still with a jb3 gearbox?
42psi???????????????????? madness. Does that seem to be the flow limit? Or is it still making good gains per psi?
