Project Manual

[stribo]

Nah mate happy with the grip just not the gearbox lol, gives me an excuse to do something i want to do :)

It was probably your ham-fisted gearchanges that killed it.

[Jamest5r]

It was probably your ham-fisted gearchanges that killed it.


Nope i think the burn out with the hand brake locked on before the 1st run done the damage.

[T5frankie]

It was probably your ham-fisted gearchanges that killed it.

he was under immense pressure to beat me lol

[Jamest5r]

Firstly a massive thank you to Smithy for finding me a m56h with a 4:45 fdr :), Nealevo for donating a pair of m56 drive shafts, ill get the hubs off somehow lol, and JT for a little advice and general pee taking :)

So picking the box up saturday morning, going to get the shafts refurbed in the mean time and hopefully throw it in sat afternoon if i can get access to the ramp :)

Glad mine is one of the easier fixes from last week's carnage.

[iancho]

Good luck Jim, sounds like Saturday will be interesting :smile:

[JT]

did you get 1 with external??

[Jamest5r]

did you get 1 with external??

Duel cast case just got to tap the holes out for the bolts.......so Smithy say's lol, ive never studied gearbox's closely, but it's coming from just up the road at cp motor's and the bloke there knows his stuff as well :)

[JT]

fingers crossed for you, it was totally different on mine

[stribo]

he was under immense pressure to beat me lol

You know that feeling don't you mate, that's probably why you jumped the start racing me at Weald lol.

[Nealevo]

If Smithys helping you, add a couple of hours on the estimated ramp time..... :) xx

[WOODY T5]

have u got a gripper to go with it jim?

[Jamest5r]

If Smithys helping you, add a couple of hours on the estimated ramp time..... :) xx

Took me 6hrs to do the clutch so around the same i reckon lol all fingers crossed :)


have u got a gripper to go with it jim?

Can just about afford the gearbox at the moment, something for a much later date......probably when you break your car, 1st dibs :)

Sorry for the delay........update time then lol.

Picked one of the hottest afternoon's to do the job must of sweated a stone off lol, thank's to Smithy for your help finding me the box at a decent price and Nealevo for the donation of some m56 shaft's and 2L of Jag's best gearbox oil :)

Work started about 2ish with Nealevo tapping some new threads in the gearbox, cheers mate sorry you had to take your lesson's from Smithy lol yes its a crap pic lol

[Jamest5r]

If you wern't so hard id give you a slap lol :) yeah feel's different didn't think it would but we will see, might just give it to you to set a time and see if it's me that just cant drive :)

[T5frankie]

Like you have said on many many occasions it make eff all difference to 60 foot :)

you and i know that but you can't convince anyone else of that, lots of off roundabout wheelspinning now though eh

We hope so or a stock v70 lpt will be beating you lol

[MoleT-5R]

have as much power as you like...lol, but if you can't get it of the line, what more can I say, Frankies super quick time was done on a sticky track, so I may have to set a 15g time a the pod, to see what my gain would be on the super sticky pod strip, or wait and see what he can manage at avon where it's easier to compare his older times to get a true picture of his 1/4 mile improvement

[LiamT4]

I just can't imagine a volvo running with a standard 15g (not a hybrid like andys lol) managing less than a 14.4 1/4mile ;-)

got to try, did 14.52 at avon, so lets see what the Frankie pod factor can do to my time

[LiamT4]

Well here's a target for you, we need to race together and if you beat me and beat a 14.4, with a standard 15g and without NOS then i'll pay you £50.

[Jamest5r]

Cost me a gearbox and him a rod, good luck mate :) oh and see you in a few week's at Prescott, your car is gonna put mine to shame looking at the shine on it today at the meet pics:)

No weight saving allowed lol


ill take that bet lol

and when are you ever going to have a volvo with a standard 15g in it ;-)


It could be do'able, we'll have to get them both together sometime

Always better when you race against people you know, makes things more interesting.

can take seats out etc, he would get a 14.4

Theres not really any point him doing that to beat me, as then i would just remove mine........although i doubt it would make any difference on my car lol

we all know youre not gonna remove yours lol, his 14.52 was a one off his next best was 14.7

I love a challenge, I will improve again, the more experience I get on the strip the better change I have of getting the car away tidy

[Jamest5r]

Thought it time i tested the new box a little as haven't done more than 10 miles since fitting lol, all i can say is i didnt think i would notice that much of a difference, but it is very different :) much quicker through the revs and at 80 im having to change to 4th (i borrowed Frankie's private corn field as he's on his hols) we will see if it makes any difference on the 1/4 but looking forward to it.

Smithy popped round earlier and i think it even suprised him :)

nice to see he didn't lock the gate when he went away...lol

[AndysR]

Sounds really good James! It's about time you started cracking away at Dean's times after all the hard luck you have had with it, must confess up into 4th at 80 does sound very short, mines just going into 3rd ;) , it really must fly!

[JT]

I've just started running in my engine, with the same box, and already
noticing the difference:)
Can't wait till I can open the taps ! :)

[Jamest5r]

As we discussed before whether we would notice a difference I was shocked to be honest at how different it is, feels like that should of been the ratios to start with, the old box seems sooo long legged now.

[Wobbly Dave]

So what kind of speeds are you seeing off the 1st 3 gears?

[Jamest5r]

So what kind of speeds are you seeing off the 1st 3 gears?

Not really done a proper test Dave, but changing into 4th around the 80 mark so a good pull of torque and hopefully faster terminal :)

[Wobbly Dave]

I guess if you were already changing into 4th for the drag strip then it will not matter that you need the extra change?

[Jamest5r]

I guess if you were already changing into 4th for the drag strip then it will not matter that you need the extra change?

Using 3rd on the strip, crossing the line at nearly 7k, reckon I will be changing 3/4 of the way now so a good run in 4th.

[p fandango]

Using 3rd on the strip, crossing the line at nearly 7k, reckon I will be changing 3/4 of the way now so a good run in 4th.
i'm still not convinced lol. I can see why it'd be perfect for track use but i think for the dragstrip your going to be off the power longer as your changing gear more. With BT's box i'll be able to clear 120mph@7k in 3rd

[Wobbly Dave]

It's going to be interesting to see. My LK box went through the line doing 104/5 mph in 3rd almost at the redline at 74/75 hundred?

Speedwise.
My top 8th is generally speaking from 80 mph >> 105 = 25 mph which is more than Dean ;)
http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b583/Bigdt5t/IMG_1473_zps32cb7301.jpg
IIRC his top 8th is 86.5 >> 107.8 mph roughly 21.5 mph.

BTW my average top 8th time is 4.75 sec for the top 10 ET results. Dean's is still going faster doing his best top 8th on that 13.3 ticket of 4.55 sec. Another 2 tenths I have to find. Which let's face it may as well be a week.


A couple of these I noted that I used 4th gear (9th best result to date) Running a 14.214 @ 103.7. Within that I ran 0.23 seconds slower to the 660 than my PB. The top 8th on the 4th gear run was 0.05 seconds slower.

Hopefully your last gear change will make only a small difference too & be offset by a better 660' time. TBH mine is a slightly different set up. I know where I am losing out - its in the 2nd 8th.

Proof of the pudding time.

[graemewelch]

be good to see some times and compare the 2 boxes. i think when i hit the strip ill finish in 3rd. in 3rd i think i can do over 110mph. not sure how fast it would of been if hit the limiter casue a ford focus st kept slowing me down. i used a local corn field to find that out. wasnt frankies though. his is to far away

[WOODY T5]

I don't know me my volvo and times lol

[Nealevo]

Its nothing to do with the gearbox, lets all just admit that Woody is the best driver and move on to something else.....

I think Frankie might disagree with that.:) BTW isn't it nice and peaceful with him on holiday.:lol:

[JT]

As we discussed before whether we would notice a difference I was shocked to be honest at how different it is, feels like that should of been the ratios to start with, the old box seems sooo long legged now.

So with such a short 1st, are you struggling to get the power down?

[Jamest5r]

Its nothing to do with the gearbox, lets all just admit that Woody is the best driver and move on to something else.....

Next time your passing ill let you take it for a blast, think you might notice the difference.

Seems the opposite mate as shifting to 2nd quicker and getting the power down but that could be down to the tires :)

is there only one lambda sensor hole on there?

[T5frankie]

Don't want to piss on your chips but having done the exact same gearbox change it made no difference to my quarter time actually a tenth slower, it felt quicker on the road with more rapid gear changes but the times don't lie

Yep, need another done for the afr

The Bitch is coming along really nicely though, Im pleased to see your getting what you want from her slowly.

It will be nice to take a trip out and see how she drives after the little blast I had with you at Neal's place.

Cheers for the offer but it's not as simple as that, need the flange off my dp for the garret welded on and the de-cat sorting going to see our mutal friend on small heath by pass.

Well after thinking my car's running great the 1/4 tells a different story, even though i only got a couple of runs in at an average 14.5 ive decided that full custom mapping of my TT is the only way forward, yes should of done this a long time ago i know but you now how it is lol, so after talking to a few mappers there was a clear winner so im off for a little jaunt in December :) will update the results then.

[V70 Graham]

The last season is barely over and we're already off on next season, march/april just seems so far away,but I'm sure it will not be long to the nail biting first race of the season, who will be the victor, as everyone seems to be taking a slightly different approach, so it will be an most interesting meet

[graemewelch]

and he'll still get a 14.5 1/4mile ;-)

im a rekon good mapping is what makes the difference. once the 3" down pipe is fitted james will notice a huge difference

[LiamT4]

Thanks mate lol

You'll beat it this year, easily............probably ;-) How important is it to be quick on the 1/4mile anyway? Remember that time my bmw pasted you at avon, yet your car would easily have been quicker on the road, bit like colin and his 14.7s lol

That's hoooge.

[Jamest5r]

Be interesting to see how this performs once it's mapped ;)

Yes it will be, been building to this point for nearly 5 yrs in different stages but I think finally it's the end product well apart from a diff lol

Jesus are you putting the battery in the boot Jim?
That's hoooge.

Hopefully it will fit or I'll just move the maf back a bit :)

MA developments, Mark shead the same bloke that done Andy's car and the peril

Looking forward to seeing the results of this!! Going to be a beast. Give Frankie a wave as you pass him.

mark shead lol

Bloody phone lol should read what I write before posting cheers mate :)

[T5frankie]

Bloody phone lol should read what I write before posting cheers mate :)

i had a mark shead cossie and it was an absolute animal

[stribo]

MA developments, Mark shead the same bloke that done Andy's car and the peril

The same M.A.Developments that does a lot of work on Ford Cosworths?

[Jamest5r]

i had a mark shead cossie and it was an absolute animal

He's the only bloke I found willing to map the TT without question as he had learnt it all doing Andy's car and considering I only need fuel and ignition and it was a manual he was even happier lol reckons 2-3 hrs job done just hope it's dry

[T5frankie]

if you want some company i'll come down with ya

[Jamest5r]

The same M.A.Developments that does a lot of work on Ford Cosworths?

Apparently so not that I would know lol

[JT]

looking forward to seeing the results of this

A mate of mine had his cosworth tuned by Mark and couldn't believe the transformation!
as said, it was an animal!! :)

Nice vid and now we know what he looks like lol.but atleast he will know about garrett turbos like as peeps used to tell me old tech t35s lol.we will see how old tech t35s do on James car .

[Jamest5r]

Guess the bloke knows what he's doing then :) should be interesting lol

[stribo]

Guess the bloke knows what he's doing then :) should be interesting lol

The bloke is a legend in the Ford world, not sure what he's like with Volvos though. ;)

[Jamest5r]

if you want some company i'll come down with ya

Join the queue mate

[Volvostorm]

Awesome work on the exhaust Jim :D

I wonder if he fancies mapping another Volvo after yours? ;)

[Jamest5r]

The bloke is a legend in the Ford world, not sure what he's like with Volvos though. ;)

At least I'm running a t35 garret I'm sure he understands that breed of turbo ;)

[T5RPete]

Fantastic news! This car in the wet felt absolutely great. I'll have to book a passenger ride once it's mapped! haha

[S70T5Chris]

I very much look forward to seeing the results J

[WOODY T5]

Great news Jim hope u get some good results now

[graemewelch]

Hope you get some good results
Im sure youll be top three this year. Youve built a beast

[AndysR]

The bloke is a legend in the Ford world, not sure what he's like with Volvos though. ;)

He makes Auto 850's with only a fettled 15G, dark greens and a 3" exhaust do 14.43 1/4's @ 101.85 mph ;)

So if he can improve an auto to that level just imagine what he can do with a highly modded manual... I personally can't wait to see the results ;)

[Wobbly Dave]

Bloody phone lol should read what I write before posting cheers mate :)

Particular now that I am called Wobby Dave. LOL

[Wobbly Dave]

Good luck with the new mapping venture.

[Jamest5r]

[T5frankie]

did your car run rough for a while after 3" piping put on?

[Jamest5r]

Ran dog rough when I put the 3" maf in but the rest of the pipe was 3" anyway, with the smaller maf and 3" pipe it was fine as it was today with 4" pipe now

[iancho]

Nice work Jim, car is looking good mate :)

Come on, spill the beans!!! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[MoleT-5R]

It going to be even more rapid, when he's finish mapping it, will be interesting to see how much this tweak alters his 1/4 time.....thats if he can get it off the line tidy

[T5frankie]

It going to be even more rapid, when he's finish mapping it, will be interesting to see how much this tweak alters his 1/4 time.....thats if he can get it off the line tidy

nice, is it a completely different animal now ??

[JT]

Any dyno sheets from today or was it all 'live' ??

[Jamest5r]

Well what a day........arrived at Ma Developments just after 10 this morning, very small outfit in a unit on a.farm but lots of nice stuff in there, Mark is a top bloke very down to earth and easy to get on with, 1st job was to disconnect my afr sensor and screw his far more advanced one in, then he knocked up a det pipe and we were good to go and the turbo tuner connected straight away and gave no hassle thank f##k, took a little drive with the instructions "if I tell you to put your foot down plant it and don't lift for as long as you dare or I tell you to lift" so interesting time a head I thought, it was all lived mapped and took about 2 1/2 hours all in including pulling the plugs and shorting the gap to 22 thou as they were blowing out under hard boost which incidentally was a max of 2 bar/29psi in 5th fully loaded :) what do I think??..... Bloody hell it shifts now lol like a totally different car the pick up is instant and just pulls smooth to the red line in each gear, I'm a very happy man :) will take it to hlm rr soon just to see what it's putting out as I've only ever used that one dyno, oh and for any of you with a TT this service cost me.........250 quid :):):) thanks to Andy for pointing me in his direction had to wait a while but worth it

Some pics as we like pics

Not that I know of I'll just pop down

Awesome stuff James, sounds like your over the moon and as you say Mark certainly knows his stuff, yours is now the 4th Volvo to be mapped by him. It may of taken him 2 1/2 hrs but I bet he much prefered mapping a manual than doing my auto.. ;)

You love about yours exactly what I love about mine it's so smooth yet rapid at the same time, granted I'm not running 2 bar of boost and knowing how mine feels and drives at 1.45 bar yours must be on another level with the extra .55 bar :)

[Wobbly Dave]

Sounds like you had a successful day. You shaking it down at Avon next week?

I think it'll be a bit more than a shake down, I think he'll be looking at knocking Dean off his perch, really looking forward to seeing it run. Are you coming Dave?

[Wobbly Dave]

I am coming - and may even run. Completed 500 miles today. Assuming I can get this intermittant VVT thing resolved then I don't see why not.

A VVT solenoid is winging it's way to you. :D And it's a poor excuse, I don't even have VVT.

Think I will need some sort of diff to beat dean lol but I will show up and have a.laugh as usual :)

[The Flying Moose]

Glad it all went well mate!

Thats one heck of a service for £250, well worth the cash.

It'll be interesting to see the figures on the rolling road but as always it how she drives that counts and by all accounts its big grins all day long!

[T5RPete]

Great result man. I bet you're well happy!

[T5frankie]

jim has took my bet that he wont beat my time of 14.03 next week, looks like i'm a tenner up

[Jim S70R]

Wicked stuff jimbo!! I bet your well happy now, be interesting to see what it's pumping out and what she can achieve up the 1/4 mile.

[Jamest5r]

On the rollers Saturday morning, no idea what it will make maybe not much more I suspect just know it's running a lot smoother so hope to see a nice curve:)
