380bhp K1 (Now with a couple of short vid clips)

[cfcmick]

Finally got around to getting the K1 on AMD's rollers today after having some work done last week.

OK so not quite 380bhp

For anyone that's interested, mods are :-

Revo stage 2+
Miltek 3" Turbo back, 200cel sport cat, non resonated
Forge Twintake
Forge Twintercooler
Forge DV and spacer
AutoTech High Pressure Fuel Pump
K&W V3 coilovers
Quaife Limited Slip Differential

Hopefully will get a dry day this week to take some pictures and some video

Just waiting on the W.A.L.K kit to be delivered, then fitted, which is on back order.
A few other things to do yet but only cosmetic wise.
(Interior and some alloys and tyres)

To say the engine spins up quick is an understatement

Now where's the dry weather?

Cool, I should get down AMD again for my re-run, looks like there rollers are in a good mood at the moment

What Revo settings are you running?

 

[jaykicksass]

That is impressive mate, whats next? reckon you will reach 400???

 

[vRSy]

AMD rollers, lol. I reckon they are challenging superships now in the free Hp challnge.


saying that even if it overeading by 20Hp or so, thats still a huely quick car

What were the wheel figures? Smooth plots and flat torque curve though.

I haven't got a clue
Don't have a dongle, so what ever Shaun does when he uploads the code ....
The rollers have been good for the last 2 runs I've had after the SCN day


Jaykicksass
I doubt it will get to 400 mate on the present turbo.
Chatting to Shaun at AMD and the next stage would be to go bigger turbo but then you're into the realms of changing internals etc...
Will stick with what I have for now.

 

[fellowsuk]

That's quality mate , from what doesn't seem to be to many mods. I've got something to aim for!

 

[Poverty]

Good result.

What about the flat spot or have you not really had a chance to rag it from 3rd to 5th?

 

[cfcmick]

Pov

Have had the mods on for a week now and the times I have driven it aggresively I haven't noticed the flat spot as yet.

Wheel spins in 4th though in the wet...

 

[2zeroalpha]

Christ, how are you managing to drive the thing in this weather? Bloody good results though, well done sir!

the flat spot is really weird, as I have adjusted my settings to boost 8 timing 6 fuel 8 and my flat spot is gone. On waynes car though, hes running boost 8, timing 6 fuel 9 and he still has a slight flat spot.

P.S

When you do the WALK fit some powerflex inner wishbone bushes at the same time, they are meant to compliment each other.

 

[m0rk]

0C & 50% humidity?

fudge factors a plenty

With great difficulty and restrain

Cheers mate.
I'll bear that in mind.
More money

Wow impressive stuff.
What's on your list of things to do?

Not a lot more engine wise really to be honest.

W.A.L.K (On order)

Few other things toying around with
Leather interior is probably gonna be next
Inner wishbone bushes (Thanks Pov )
Possibly ARB's
Poss different alloys like TD 1.2's and some sticky rubber.

To be fair you've done well to gain >130bhp already!

not possibly mate, they are the best mod IMO for the suspension. made much mor of an impact than the coilovers or walk

then all you will need then is WMI and a flowed head and your car will be the best a k1 can be!

Impressive numbers, I think i'll take mine down to AMD and see how they compare to the Dyno Dynamics rollers.

Seriously though, nice build and great numbers, good benchmark and a target for the modders.

My power graph at stage 1 was 'lumpy' and under-performed for some reason but hopefully get to the bottom of it soon
