Took my GP to TB Turbo in Lancaster Today so I could get an idea of what it was running before I let the guys at Lohen loose on it in february.
A few of you recomended TB Turbo and they seem a nice bunch of chaps!
Will be going again as soon as the 1st stage of mods are done which fingers crossed should be the last week in Feb or 1st week in March
Below are the print outs I got today
Let me know your views please..........

Cool, just a quick blast up the motorway then. I live about 30mins north of Lancaster, but I'm there quite a bit when I'm not at Uni.

The mods sound impressive, what kind of power are you hoping for after you have finished with the tuning?

Just noticed that you are on the LMR - maybe I'll see the car on the next event if I can make it.

Drive train loss of 21%. Suprised that you got 218bhp to be honest. Dont think Snowie got that!

Edit: Based on drivetrain loss of between 10 to 15% would make it between 191.7 to 203.1

Wheel figure seems about right flywheel to high IMO

Nobody was more suprised than me with the figures mate, I was expecting the same as Snowie, which was around 202 bhp if I remember right!

[Damo]

Based on my mate Graham's drive train loss of 16% then your talking about 205ish but with the reduction in weight still pretty tasty

Im hoping to get around the 250 mark with the 1st set of mods after that who knows haha
I have big plans for the car which will all be finished by July this year fingers crossed
Im going to try and get out on the next LMR run mate but I do work most weekends

Very nice and more than helpful, Glad I took everyone's advice and went there instead of somewhere else!
Will be there again very soon

[Damo]

Right using this thread to get an average...

http://www.mini2.com/forum/uk-irelan...-november.html

...drivetrain loss for a manual S is 16.5%

Problem is that the 16% my mate had on its last run is on the older ratio'd gear box. And the above average I've worked doesn't factor in which gearbox.

It seems out of the 5 dyno info I got of that thread that the gearbox's made little difference anyway, as Snowie and Graham had same drivetrain loss. It seems the more power the less drivetrain loss!?

So are my figures about right then? Or in fact like Loui stated to high?
Im very green to all this Damo as you already know haha
Only did the Dyno so I have before and after figures

[Damo]

I'd agree with Loui, 21% drivetrain loss would mean summats not right with your car, or the correction factor is wrong

I'd expect it to be more like 16-17% mark. Making yours more like 205 at the fly.

I'm no expert on dyno's just crunching numbers

[Damo]

So long as you take it back to the same place to Dyno it after the work is done then you can compare before and after as opposed to the numbers themselves

Thats the plan

[lucachiarelli]

Numbers are quite good gregg. I would think that 240bhp would be vmax with your first set of mods. Just out of interest why have you opted for the chargecooler instead of an intercooler?
Looking forward to seeing the car when its done
