Bussey Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Boosting issue all solved, only problem is that the car must have been mapped with the crack when It was a lot smaller, as it is now overboosting silly amounts. So will be back into redline on the 23rd. The crack was obviusly the reason why it made quite low numbers for 1.4 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Bonnet was winding me up, had some wierd lacquer peel and a few blemished spots. Got gritting tonight.And a lot of spilt water/sore elbow later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Haven't updated in a long long long while. Since I last updated, the stock inlet has been put back on, new shorter route intercooler piping, levin twinpots fitted, r888r GG compound tyres fitted, and a mocal 12 row oil cooler fitted.Plus obviously the carbon bonnet.Car was mapped again in august. Made 240.4bhp at 1.4 bar. And has been faultless ever since.Although I'm very skeptical about the power, as in a straight line race the car will beat E92 M3's / 16 plate A45 AMGs. (Call it bullshit if you want I know what I've seen)It's either down to the instant power/cold nights or rollers being dreamkillers haha.Car took two 20 minute sessions of abuse at trax without using a drop of oil/coolant or any issues st all. Which has put so much confidence into how sound of a car she is now after a year of small niggles. Some picturesPlans for winter are- hybrid my TF035HM- ceramic coated turbo housing and manifold- ds2500's for the levins- professionally made polycarbonate windows, including the rear screen- new wheels-full service of ignition system -quaife LSD- New clutch Anyway some pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Looking good, man! Be interesting to see how you like the Quaife as I'm interested in getting one. What's the turbo plan TF/TD04 hybrid? I hope Redline's dyno does underread haha, to see off cars like that is impressive and convinces me big turbos aren't needed! Also thanks for linking to the vid and the pic with mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 TF's are great turbos, fast spool and enough power to see off a lot of carsI run a tf/td hybrid and I love it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also thanks for linking to the vid and the pic with mine Cheers mate, Turbo is being sent off to a small company I met at goodwood. It will be having a custom made billet wheel and the exhaust housing ported slighty. I'm not after loads more ponies, just curious to see how much of a difference it can make to an already savagely punchy turbo I'll keep you posted on the diff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 TF's are great turbos, fast spool and enough power to see off a lot of carsI run a tf/td hybrid and I love itI wouldn't run anything else now, no lag, instant response, and power right up to the rev limit. Suits the car perfectly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
