The Black One Returns

Nice - I think there is room for more too. I think Dave ran it around 350bhp but that was some time ago.

Cheers, Ben did say she was running a bit rich but I am going to see how the next few days go and Ben will give her another tweek

Goodstuff!!!!

The should be more high powered octys around!!!!! I can't understand why their isn't...

Cost mostly Far cheaper to let someone else do the hard work and buy up for a fraction of the cost. I did miss out twice when EddyH's came up for sale but after the problems Graham has had probaly for the best. So I must make do with 220/4x4/LPG its a hard life.....

Mine will get there one day.... just need to upgrade more each time it falls over

... JE forged pistons ...

Nice car

What displacement are those ?

saved yourself a can of worms tbh

O2M died after 500 miles, custom equal length manifold died after 1500 miles

2yrs to build, and still months from completion

My biggest mistake was not going straight to an outfit like Jabbasport, who can do eveything - build to mapping

Effectively the 1st year of my build was a complete waste of time & $

I did get the back for a proper test for 2 months last summer

Just been back down to Shark for a checkover and some tweaking

Big thanks to Ben and the team now running 330bhp and 457nm of torque and running smooth as silk

[DaveU]

330 horses? What did you do with the rest of them? ;-)

...and where's my spoiler gone!?!?!?

Still sounding great!

Why on earth is the power dropping off at 5500rpm????

Just a quick update just obtained a black carpet and a full leather interior from a Audi A3 1.8 Turbo so if the weather is good will be fitting these tomorrow

Hi Guys

Just put her up for sale see if there is any interest

Just had the car rr it made 301bhp with 399ft/lb and it doesn't have a 3" exhaust system it's a power flow 2.5" which is a bit disappointing seeing as DaveU had a 3" Haywood and Scott so dunno where that went

[devonutopia]

At Alan Jeffreys?  its a very accurate roller from my experience

[plymouth vrs]

Was that sarcasm? Lol no offence but wouldn't take my car there, no it was ak motors. More annoyed about the exhaust really surely it couldn't be running 420bhp on a 2.5" exhaust or am I wrong?

Which is what it was running when Dave had it (along time ago mind)

301bhp that's crap

2.5 down pipe not good !!

[plymouth vrs]

Where could I get a 3" down pipe for that with the fitment for the gt28?

[missingmyvrs]

When you pop up I will get the guy next to me to have a look might be able to knock one up cheapest buddy

Need to see why is down on power as 300bhp is k03s hybrid power lol with no lag !!!

[missingmyvrs]

Is it still running standard inter cooler pipe work?

If yes no wonder its struggling

I will show you what you need to do to actually make the car quick as that power is shocking for that setup !!!

[plymouth vrs]

Um the pipe from the turbo is standard which has a slight leak I think but I can't seem to find a silicone one single, can only buy a whole kit for £135. As for the rest I better save some money before I come up to you then haha
