Yeah as i said Robbo... will have to see if it worth it first on the track.. somehow i dont think it will be needed to go that far in reality... but hey who knows???

I guess the head and Cam are pipe dreams still... but after the pulley its like that light is comming closer so much faster.. hehehehehe

Good to see you are having some fun with her. How did that exhaust header trick you told me about go?

CanberraCooperS · Oct 19th, 2004, 11:02 AM

On the G-tech it knocked 1/2 a sec of the 0-100 which i was running consistant 6.7sec so its now consistant 6.2... have not tried it with the pulley yet... as ive been spinning to much.. but the 1/4 time should be good.. will Post some Wakefield track times early next week... Using Dorian track transponder timing so its going to be 100% accurate.

Hi Giles,

I can't make it to the Wakefield meet, as I am participating in the Rally that weekend

However, the following weekend (Sunday 7th) the BMW club has a supersprint at Wakefield

Provided my car escapes intact from the rally, I'll be there

I'd love to compare times with your Wakefield meet

Even better, it would be great to try and catch up

Cheers

Robbo

CanberraCooperS · Oct 19th, 2004, 11:16 AM

Ok well that being a pay week i should be able to make it...

I might be doing 2 events one on sunday being the JRacing event and the following tuesday with My company for a Team building day. I know the Tuesday Rick Bates is comming up as he was asked by my work to provide driver training for those requiring it and i want to take him for a lap or two to show him how to drive the mini!!! as he was pitifull in the bang for your buck Wakefield day! either way i will try and make the BMW day if even just to say hi

I used to work with that equipment, internally it's accurate to 1/100000ths of a second, the results we put out were to 1/10000th of a second, and we still had 2 HQ's cross the line at EXACTLY the same time at the thunderdome one night.

speaking of oil coolers, noticed at the motor show the CVT has a small transmission cooler in the same sorta position robbo and others have thier oil coolers..i dont know if it'd be worth obscene dollars as some mini parts are.. but i havent seen any1 use one as an oil cooler on an S yet i dont think.. just curious as to what people think.. i wish i had a pic.. but i think it'd do the job

edit - found one

I thought Robbo and that were using the same cooler off the CVT's?

Apparently all the mounts and fix points are still there in the S

Gennex utilise the same CVT transmission cooler on their cars, but mount it differently. Peak quote $1000 to have one modified and installed like Trelo's.

FLiPSiDE · Oct 19th, 2004, 01:52 PM

duh silly me.. haha figured someone musta thought of it long before i noticed haha didnt realise every1 was already using them i thought it was some custom one from peak.. but meh.. colour me stupid

just had a look in robbos gallery.. yeah sure enuff hahaha jeesus.. im a bit slow

haha had a look at that gennex site.. baahaha blowoff valve man i WANT ONE! bahahah

Last dyno run prior to the Pulley was 118kw at the wheels. Have yet to scan this but will post about 5 that i have now showing the steps.. will buy a scanner in the next few weeks.

If your last run was 118kW at the wheels, what was your stock power output at the wheels?

CanberraCooperS · Oct 19th, 2004, 10:42 PM

I have talked to many of the Peak guys and seen many others in the USA that have converted the CVT Transmission oil cooler to an engine oil cooler, But Allas i went out and bought something different about 12 months ago before i started seeing the available kits... but hey thats nothing out of the ordinary for me. All i have to do is make up some mounting brackets to the underneath of the Alloy section of the front bumper so its not touching the Aircon condensor. And at the same time not change the Crash characteristics by drilling into the Alloy.. so im making up some fance clamps. Im hoping by getting this down into the High preasure airflow area below the licence plate I should get some serious colder air than behind the slotted grill up the top. But hey MR DYI Giles is at it again!!! hehehehehe. I have sited where to fit it... just not how yet.

And Todd... Do you ever sleep?? whats this 3am reply business??? ehehehe

CanberraCooperS · Oct 19th, 2004, 10:58 PM

Man that is not a blow off valve...its the BYPASS Valve (thats how they say it on the site... but its just your boost regulator, All they have done is put on an adjustable regulator so you can set higher boost rather than it being BYPASSED.
This will not make and WOOSH or any other sort of noise. Its just designed to hold the boost rather than regulating it to prevent over boosting.

All i can say is DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!!!!! 1.8Bar of boost. Thats like 26.10PSI... Unless your running pure race fuel there is no way your can run boost like that on even 100 octane unleaded.
I used to run 1.9bar in my rally car prior to turbo restrictors, but i was running pure 105octane Elf racing fuel. It was bordering on Pinging then!

FLiPSiDE · Oct 20th, 2004, 12:03 AM

haha i dunno thats just what it said on thier site.. made me laugh tho i wouldnt really get one regardless of wether it made the fully sick PSSH noise haha
