I think I must have built it right 8)

Thought I might as well pop 30 mins up the road to GT5's outfit .Strange graph again ,can't find GT's plot, from memory it was very similar curve .

This is running my old std turbo I rebuilt last year ,free-flow intake and exhaust .Low boost as it's only got 300 miles on it so far .

Yes that's what I remember .Similar curve with peak power way up the rev range :? 6200 ?????
My max torque is in the right place :?: compared to Steve's ,still low down @ 2700 .
In any case it's a good base figure :D :D I have some things to bolt on after WSR Donnington and then get them to set it up :wink:

Nice one. It sounded good when I popped round the other day. Have you got the project running yet?

:lol: Give me chance :!: Nearly got the rear bumper fitted properly ,that's about all .
Not had much time to look at it but I may EFI it now ,so much for keeping it std .
I have another set of turbo inlets/rails etc but need to get some management and a few other bits and bobs .............

Don't change a formula you know works.
Put one of your spare turbo lumps in it!
You know it makes sense.(':lol:')

Might be worth a second opinion from another RR, as the peak power is way past the standard manufacturer specs, and right on (slightly past) the limiter.


Have you fitted the larger injectors (or adj fuel reg) with the standard ECU, as the standard setup runs around 12.4:1 at full throttle.

EDIT : Ah, its boost level instead of lambda at the side.

EDIT : I think....... strange as it slowly and smoothly drops off from 2700, to 6000.... On the road that would take well over 20 seconds to do that and boost should peak and settle, not tail off over a matter of time...

You're back off hols then Dave ? Was it raining a lot :wink: :lol:


It say's it's boost at the top .I have fitted a WB sensor , the guy did say it was fueling fine all through ,12 .Leaning off boooooo--sssssshhhhttttt .
I thought the MAX POWER was a little odd but it's the same story on GT's plot.
I will hang five on any more upgrades till after the RTOC Thor RR day on the 22nd .
It was cancelled so I thought it would be interesting to put another GTA on the same set of rollers for once ..................poss ever :lol:

My turbo and actuator need upgrading ,they are a tad tired hence the std boost, but the book do say ...........Inlet mani pressure 850 +/-50 mbar between 2 & 3 k , 650 at max speed . That would seem to tally with the graph a little bit more .

All I need to get sorted is a new turbo :wink: and poss some even bigger injectors .Adaptronic is all ready to plonk on ,will not be installing the FSE reg as it's probably not needed and they do wander a bit ,so I'm told .

Right , now then ,second opinion given so shaddup :!: :!: :lol: :wink:
I have been on the Thor device ,supposedly the most accurate Dyno type .
The chart heading states at the fly but it is at the wheel ,they dont do at the fly .The only real prob ,apart from the interwarmer was a dodgy boost controller or actuator so it flits about quite a bit .
The guys reckon it could do with a chargecooler :shock: :? :lol: They did try and keep it cool ,the dude at the back is holding an effing big fan over the bay :lol:
