I so want your job!!!!

 

Would it help if I said I didn't get paid very much?

I had the GT3 again last night and this morning (since otherwise it was going to be left in the car park) so you might hate me still...

 

I do wonder had I not spunked all the money on the VX220 whether it would have been a viable deposit on a GT3... :lol:

No :ffs: :ffs: :ffs:

 

Faulty LS4 (+broken ignition switch) and delays from Matt's side. He knows how disappointed I am about this.

 

At this rate I'll be missing another bodyshop slot.

 

Quite depressed about it all now, and hate not being in control

Chin up dude, you have done a huge amount. With time, I am sure it will be a great car. The sense of pride from simply sitting in the car will be great I am sure :)

Trust you to get the only faulty ls4 TB. But I thought you where using lees for mapping? Worst case use a 68mm and then simply get the ls4 done at a later date

How long is a piece of string?

 

Communication means I actually don't know. I do know for sure that this is another summer missed though...

So I need to do a proper update on this thread... but for now I have numbers.

 

All the pub-talk of 400bhp harrops on here may have slightly raised my expectations, but since we haven't yet seen a proper dyno plot (preferably measured at the wheels) of such a number I'm not sure how relevant that talk is.  :ninja:  

 

Anyway enough about other people's projects and power figures. May as well see what everyone thinks I got. Will reveal later, once I have the graphs etc.

 

Reminder of spec: 

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]2.0 Saab B207 with custom forged pistons but standard crank and rods,[/color][color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;] Comp stg2 cams, lightened flywheel, supertech valve springs, balancer delete, ported head, harrop charger, standalone ECU. 2.5-inch tullet manifold mounted to 3-inch MBR twin silencer exhaust. [/color]

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]I don't actually know torque yet, as since I say I've only just heard headline BHP figure, so what do think .org, what has it made?[/color]

Manifold could be limiting factor there G I'm going to say 335 + hp and 260 ft lb I think any numbers over 300 at the wheels is a achievement
