Hold on the above statement doesn't match this dyno sheet http://www.mini2.com/forum/gt-tuning...-graphs-5.html post 93

I'm still interested to see what Karls GTT270 is pumping out not for bragging rights but for the Mini community as a whole.

Roland I believe has the highest hp M45 car at the moment - Karl's might be even higher but we need black & white evidence although with the figures being banded about above I think the 273 / 274 hp may become a 2nd best very soon.

Competition - don't you just love it

My M45 powered car with stock intercooler /TB/JCW air box made 261whp/232tq
which puts it at 300bhp on pump gas

We have 2 cars at 300bhp at the moment with stock superchargers

btw... Al... you have the stage 4 GTT head on your car?

any chance that car can be put on a dyno at the day of a shoot out.... I mean.... if it's real.....
there shouldn't be any reason why it won't show......

RIGHT?

MINI-Morgan · Apr 2nd, 2008, 05:21 PM

This thread just gets more and more full of egos the further I read! Would be interesting to know which head really is best but I very much doubt we will ever know as half the tuners dont give any information away and as yet I havent seen one test that shows the performance of adding a head. Prove otherwise??

Never less this thread is about a car reaching 281bhp so credit where credit is due! If it was that easy and cheap everyone would have one! So congrats!

Now since we have a rolling road booked for the 31st May at Surrey RR then why dont you all come down and show them off

There's one problem with that Dave, it easier to say that you can provide or have something than proving it

Exactly......thats why I take everyones head claims as a pinch of salt. Unless someone tests them all back to back without changing loads of bits then I might believe. All good modifying fun!

BigShow · Apr 2nd, 2008, 05:48 PM

Everyone to Surrey RR for the showdown!!!

I'll have the performance box with me for some on road figuring too!

Really looking forward to this now... especially BigShow vs Roland... it'll be as big as the recent Mayweather vs BigShow match up, even the size difference is the same

although the result will be different

lucachiarelli · Apr 2nd, 2008, 05:55 PM

Gregg. Give us a shout if you going down and i'll come with. Probably make me want another mini lol.

Do you mind me asking what it made? Do you think you have a boost leak or some other issue that means the head isn't as efficient as it should be?

Ant FR · Apr 2nd, 2008, 06:06 PM

oh great another argument, I'm up in Newcastle at mo with work, so browsing on the iPhone, but good to see we still got the arguments going on, anyway I think I'm off from mini2 for a while as this is so boring, someone give me a shout if it changes !!!!!

Bye bye all have fun

MINI-Morgan · Apr 2nd, 2008, 06:13 PM

RR details here : South Coast New MINI Club: Forums / Events & Meets / surrey rolling road day 31/05/08 But I think Lee has posted the details up on here too so will have a scout for it.

Unless everything hits the fan I should be testing a head at the same time

But I would have changed Diff, Pistons and clutch though so might be a defiante drivetrain loss change.

MINI-Morgan · Apr 2nd, 2008, 06:16 PM

Found it! but I see a few of you have already been there toooo http://www.mini2.com/forum/uk-irelan...31-5-08-a.html

I'm well aware of your achievements

I've been on NAM and read all the posts including the ones having a go at you

Nope - don't have a Stage 4 GTT head - I've got a Janspeed modified head

237bhp if I remember rightly.....................nope no boost leaks at all....................just one of those things!

It's great once it's above 3500 rpm but pretty dull below it................never mind - that may change soon
