Silver C70 T5 - Manual - 400BHP

[stribo]

Good to see it coming together Dave, hope it now proves to be problem free.

[c70geoff]

now thats what I call a dam good looking engine bay
sounds awesome and loving the time and effort you have put in to make this
well impressed with all the effort you have put into this fella

[Wobbly Dave]

Well this is where I am running 1.3Bar on actuator pressure + MBC. We made at the wheels more or less the same HP figure as Mr Clancy, peak figures are not as high in the torque department on the run in question - but it is hugely long and properly grabs hold of the horizon at WOT.

I include my best run on the 19T for comparison. Now to see what will happen at York. All being well I should be able to get to the mid 13s.

Nice graph there Dave, looking forward to seeing the times

Fueling is bang on - and it is still smooth but in a violent way.

That's what Jim thought

....and all the way to 7000rpm, me thinks you'll be worrying some peeps come Sunday.

[Wobbly Dave]

That's what Jim thought

And by that you mean the results from Shakey recently? Difference is I was consistently pulling 14.2s all day long last year.

i hope i make it to see this go down the strip. i take it the 4" maf has sorted your fueling.

VVT - it's the only advantage the ME7 has - because the idle & part throttle map has been a bit of a PITA.

I think though as a starting point for further development (this is still the original 19T map with a few tweaks to the part throttle) - I think I can live with it.

[Wobbly Dave]

Yes - absolutely - no problems there. Idle map has a mind of it's own sometimes, particularly after initial start up - just part of the joys of taking the T5 to places it never expected to go.

[T5frankie]

Yeah but your wheels will have cope with that extra power and finding the grip

[Wobbly Dave]

I also have a quaiffe LSD. I'll be bringing spare slicks for Jim to try out - though I found that road tyres worked better at York.

[Jamest5r]

Nice one Dave, very happy its all coming together mate, fine tuning is the fun part now you know there are no leaks etc, see you tomorrow for a congrats beer

I've turned my boost right down and actuator up to 19psi trying to calm it down, will get there in the end

[Wobbly Dave]

Looking forward to it immensely Mr Clancy.

[Jamest5r]

You coming to mine tomorrow for the drive up

[Wobbly Dave]

Meeting at Gale's K9 grooming place around 15:00 tomorrow.

[T5frankie]

I think you should read what you write sometimes but I get the idea...

I ain't gonna comment on your threads anymore, you feel the need to teach me English all the time and it's boring, enjoy your car

[Wobbly Dave]

the abuse is not exclusive. Someone else wrote "my patients is running out with my car" - to which my quip about letting other people drive it was not appreciated.

What can I say - Am sorry Frankie - I promise not to nit pick - your comments & opinions are most precious to me.

Please don't say it's over....
