Been at 1320s today to get a power run and make sure the car is fueling ok. Very friendly atmosphere and service. Good to meet everyone.

Ive tried taking a picture of my graph but the writing is too small and the lines on the graph are very thin. I'll ask paul if he can send me a copy from his computer.
The results
Power bhp at the crank 230.2 bhp
Power bhp at the wheels 193bhp
This power was achieved at 7600 rpm

I was shocked that the car revved so far as the rev limit hasnt been raised.
Boost was at 15.5psi
Torque was 178.7 lb ft @ 5272 rpm
Now i wouldnt take my car over 7000 rpm so the power around there is 226 bhp, which I am very pleased with.
Here is the full spec:
15% pulley and reduced belt with minisport bluefin custom (no intended raised rev limit)
NGK iridium spark plugs
GTT manifold
Milltek cat back
GTT intercooler
Alta induction kit
GTT lightweight stock size crank pulley

Wheels: Team dynamics pro race 1.2 205/40 17 @30psi all round
Porsche GTT BBK
Eibach 20mm lowering springs

Top work mate, well chuffed for you, proper quick and the car looks mint too!

1320autos · Nov 23rd, 2007, 07:29 PM

Car does look very kewl Luca and what a rocket it must be with that rpm limiter set at that

(I'M SO JEALOUS)

Nice to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed the 1320 company atmosphere, hope the 7hr

seat time was worth it.

Look forward to seeing you in 08.

Crumbs 7600 rev limt, that would be very sweet

BRMCooper · Nov 23rd, 2007, 09:36 PM

i second what Paul said 7600prm I WANT THAT!

good figures congrats!

lucachiarelli · Nov 23rd, 2007, 11:09 PM

Thanks guys. Good to meet everyone today, really enjoyed seeing the car on the rollers. The first run went to 7700 rpm and came out at 334bhp

. We also did some runs without the bluefin and it came out at 226 and a touch less torque in the mid range so decided to keep the bluefin on. The main reason i wanted the car on the rollers was to check the engine was fueling and running as it should with the bluefin.
Is it really bad for the engine if i take it past 7000 rpm ?
I would really like to explore the darker side of the 7

3rdpillar · Nov 24th, 2007, 10:58 AM

seems that you car is really performing for you. Wish i had know about the day, would have love to come down to benchmark mine.

lucachiarelli · Nov 24th, 2007, 12:05 PM

@3rdpillar. I thought you may have been working. No doubt i'll be down there again.

I'll be getting A* from now on lol. I noticed my torque is a bit lower than other peoples with similar bhp. What could i use to bring it up a bit/ Im thinking a 17% alta pulley or maybe a performance cam.

1320autos · Nov 24th, 2007, 08:20 PM

On a budget, camshaft would be the answer but I'm not sure whether the stock valve springs retainers would like 7700 for long periods.

you will get more from a good mapping than you will a camshaft but if you don't have access to the mapping then a good cam is a reasonable alternative
