Diesel Power 1/4 Mile Times 5/7/09 GTI Summer festival

[Mikey_H]

Last time T Spark went to pod he got a 13.83 @99.25mph. At the time he was running 226bhp (probally with boost leaks too! )

his slip

Done with hybrid turbo, zorst, filter, FMIC and mapped to suit.

does he have a LSD? because his 0-60ft time is inredible. You can see from the two timings that he is geting off the line alot better but i am pulling it back by the end. Are you a personal friend of his? I know him pretty well we did a max power photoshoot together a while back but i have lost his number.



THE BAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took my mate out for a spin last night to show him the improved power from the methanol and my cambelt snapped AGAIN last time this happened i bent 2 valves and it ended up costing me just over £2,000 (some of that was having the head ported) But i'm hoping due to the fact the cambelt is only 6-8k miles old and less than 3 months old I won't be paying for it.

Last i heard he was charging 148.75 euro each for the nozzles and 20 euro to fit and test each nozzle to a injector body ( which you supply ) which is very cheap. If you PM john tdi as he bought some nozzles and had fitted by my friend so you might want to ttalk to him and email Richard Strunc at diesel power to get a current quoted price.

Thanks mate after speaking to Jabba yesterday they are saying i am struggeling getting oxygen into the car for it to burn the fuel that is already going in they have sugested maybe try some nos and see how that works out. Obviously i have to get the bloody thing fixed first. Also concidering going for their bigger turbo we were talking somewhere around the 290bhp peak and apparently the turbo holds onto the power ALOT harder to the rev line which is maybe what i'm lacking but it also has slightly more turbo lag so i'm not sure whether to go for it or not.



p.s trying to find a way of uploading this power graph i don't have a scanner I have taken a photo with my bro's slr camera but can't open it to resize it and upload it

A bigger turbo would be a much better way then NOS. Find it hard to believe you are making 260bhp on standard injectors plus to say it`s over fueling on 260bhp with standard injectors is very strange as stock injectors as far as i have ever seen are only good for a true 230-240bhp max. I know you can only go by the numbers Jabba are giving you but try and find anyone else in the world making those sort of numbers with stock injectors without having major work done on cams,head,valves etc.

I have had it rolling roaded elsewhere before and it only came in 2bhp lower than what jabba's rr said. Thing is with the bigger turbo its another £2500 to add to the £***** i ahve already spent on the thing lol. but your prob right it's the best way forward along with an lsd i would imagine that would help alot. Then i can look at injectors ect ect but need to sort somthing out with this cambelt because i can't do with that breaking every 8k miles lol

Yeah mikey I am a mate of his. I thought he didn't get the shoot done, due to someone crashing into him the week before?

 

[Mikey_H]

Yea he wasn't in the shoot because some woman crashed into the side of him however he did come along as he was the one that organised the shoot

ouch... you really have bad luck with belts... maybe your next buy should be chain driven

hope it's a cheap fix! (prays to the car gods)
