Pete

[vwmk3jon]

seems a wide range of results there although no-one seemed happy with what they got (except for me - i expected to be calling the AA!)

[chris2911]

i was very happy what i got.

[PeteG40]

I was happy  - 115 standard

[Yoof]

Happy with my result- considering there's a few more PSI to be had and my aquamist wasn't working 

 

[hayesey]

by the way, just in case no one heard me shouting it but jez's fiat made less than stock power 

[vwmk3jon]

oh, no one looked happy! Mustve been the weather?!

[vwmk3jon]

who was the chap filming most of the runs? Just wondered if he got one of mine? Wanna see it pop flames (I was busy shitting myself! Lol)

[hayesey]

oh, no one looked happy! Mustve been the weather?!

well not sure, plenty of people seemed happy too.  Maybe some have too high expectations? 

The reason jez's fiat coupe didn't make stock power was because his boost controller was going mental, the torque curve was like a saw-tooth shape as the boost was coming in and cutting out.

[Dirrt]

Nice results people I'm still so gutted about this and I'm still in a bad mood about it, and I really wanted to see Yoofs!

[Varley]

Was a really good meet, enjoyed chatting to everyone - cheers to pete, haysey and anyone else involved in the organisation - top lads.

Must admit I was a tad disappointed with my result, I was expecting more from my spangly new 1473, although I'm over the moon with the actual performance - so I guess numbers don't tell the whole story.

I guess I'm a victim of pub figures driving my own expectations - never had it done before so it was a bit of a stab in the dark. Pleased with my spirit level flat torque curve though...

If anybody can shed any light on how anyone can claim to have achieved 170+ bhp with a G40 'charger I'd be all ears, can't see what more I could possibly do!

Those turbo set ups were mightily impressive btw...

[polo classic]

Did 167 hp in mine at 6932 rpm (limiter) and it had not peaked yet

Spec: Twin inlet charger (67mm), toothed belts, heavily ported charger, 49,5 mm throttle body, Ported GT inlet manifold, Jabba stg 2 head with custom 264/270 Newman cam, Supersprint 4-branch, race cat and Supersprint 2 inch exhaust. Custom mapping with G60 injectors from Jabba.

[Max]

Where are the pics chaps!

[Varley]

Cheers for the reply, I should've mentioned my spec I suppose!

1473cc, BVH, Full blend, toothies, PSD front mount, Ported/Polished TB, Ported/matched GT inlet, PSD 4 branch/full system, red (310cc) injectors, Matched Newmann cam, Custom PSD map.

Surely I was right to expect more from my extra 200cc?

My boost gauge is showing 8psi with this spec, sound about right?

Any ideas welcomed people!

[hayesey]

8psi is very low I'd say something is wrong there.  Increased stroke does more for torque than bhp.
