BT is booked in at Street Racer in Leicester for a power run on Thursday afternoon, purely for fun post what BHP at the wheels do you think she'll get. Both the fuel & boost computers will be turned off so she'll be running standard actuator pressure of 0.7bar, i'm hoping they'll let me use the exhaust cut-off valve tho

place your bets......................NOW Very Happy

Im Interested too,, And are you running "Pump Gas"? Or some "Jungle Juice" ( Thats what we call mixture of Methanol, Ethenol etc etc ) If comp up to it, and you can get enough into the motor,can make 20% more gee gees even in std motor, ??
And is there a prize for getting it right ?? lol Laughing

well heres the evidence folks

at first i was very disappointed, but after thinking about it because it was only running 0.7bar off the actuator it puts the boost level about the same as standard. So in theory i've gained 25bhp over the original by fitting the 19t, S60R manifold & running no exhaust, once i've made sure BT can supply enough fuel the boost can be wound up & i can get a real hike in power Very Happy

Am i reading this wrong pedro or does that say 195bhp at the wheels?
If so what are they standard? Confused
