Want to take it for a test up my neck of the woods? Possibly bring your grinder and a stud.

In that vein maztech, how do you feel about doing onsite support if my k-frame still doesn't want to drop out?

maztech · 06-07-2012, 06:13 PM

What's happening and that's one reason why I got the ute ( mobile workshop and tow if needed )

derb · 06-07-2012, 06:38 PM

PMed, best not to keep cluttering up this thread.

rogerstrampoline · 07-07-2012, 04:27 PM

Clutch in thanks to jared

pulls so frigging hard now.....don't believe me, ask jared hahahaha still can't believe how surprised you were :P

maztech · 07-07-2012, 05:41 PM

Nice car goes hard , gotta sort out boost stuff though. And it was good to meet you. You got some work to do before dyno day .

rogerstrampoline · 07-07-2012, 05:50 PM

You too man

yeah gonna put the boost gauge in tomorrow morning and then sort out the intake etc next weekend....got a bit of time before dybo day.

pics or it didn't happen!

rogerstrampoline · 17-07-2012, 05:13 AM

DOHC turbo decals arrived and are installed

ended up getting I think 40 hahaha some gold some silver.....also have a single stage turbosmart boost controller that will be wired up after i return from melbourne....gonna try hide the switch well

rogerstrampoline · 10-08-2012, 07:14 AM

Took her apart again last week to port the wastegate, check the actuator, check all the lines and put a new manifold gasket on

unfortunately the boost is still spiking

so im guessing its a leak issue maybe

rogerstrampoline · 13-08-2012, 12:43 PM

Just took my AFM and hoses out, made a custom mount and got a 90 degree bend for the pod so she is finally mounted correctly

also ran a new line for the idle control so it idles a lot nicer now

thats one defect down hahaha

rogerstrampoline · 26-08-2012, 09:02 AM

Car went on the dyno yesterday with an exhaust manifold leak...told them to only take it to 5800rpm cuz i don't rev the car above that ever! And it pulled 161.1hp at the front wheels on 12psi

stoked with that result! Was running a bit lean but that can be fixed quite easily

project.r.racing · 26-08-2012, 09:08 AM

what rpm did it make max power? or is max power at 5800rpm?

rogerstrampoline · 26-08-2012, 09:22 AM

Yeah he said the turbo stopped making power at 5800 anyway

so no point in revving it if it doesn't do anything

derb · 26-08-2012, 11:44 AM

Awesome figure dude! Much better than my questionable 141hp atw from Rotary Motorsport.

Clean_Cookie · 26-08-2012, 11:49 AM

So questionable as in the dyno accuracy or the actual power its making? What's an average bpt make at the wheels in a 2wd?

derb · 26-08-2012, 03:58 PM

The dyno. It was a dyno day and the thing was setup for cars with 300+hp. It says right on the readout that its configured for some kind of V8. I would want to see at least 155-160hp for a stock BPT with boost turned up.

project.r.racing · 26-08-2012, 05:38 PM

140-150hp would be what i'd expect from a stock bpt setup. so 141 isnt that bad.

rogerstrampoline · 26-08-2012, 09:34 PM

But considering derbs has better regulation on air, fuel and boost his should be putting out more than my 161hp

Clean_Cookie · 26-08-2012, 09:44 PM

You do have an na head, higher compression etc. Wonder if swapping cams would improve power at all?

rogerstrampoline · 27-08-2012, 06:51 AM

A lot of guys with bpt actually put the na exhaust cam in and keep yheir bpt intake cam....but yeah I guess higher comp, larger degree of cams and high flow head
