Well I've finally got a smile on my face. We have been out in the car this evening doing a little in car mapping. Checking fuelling etc. and building a boost map. Running it at 1.5 bar dropping of to 1.35 were it catches the soft boost limiter at 7250rpm. Dam it feels quick. Intercooler works prefect and water temp is also very good. It does get a little heat soak when standing in traffic, temps up to 50 degrees but that soon drops when moving. I am well pleased, well worth the wait.
Cheers Tim

He runs E85 at the track. Still drives it on the street but doesn't speed so no real way of comparing.

On the YB cosworth engines we would run close to 700 bhp on pump fuel, which is were we drew the line. Not rev's or boost.

With an iron block obviously. Your build is amazing and I'm not criticising it. Duke and JET951 built 16v turbo engines so I referred to them for comparison. As you say yours is a road car so hopefully it wont have crank/block issues. Do you plan to take it on track days though...

Still got S2 brakes at moment and they are nowhere near good enough, but I have just purchased a set of 365mm 6 pot AP's for the front and 355mm 4 pot AP's for the rear. I'm hoping I can machine a Standard rear disc to except a small bell between the handbrake drum and the new AP disc.

Hi, Sorry I've not been around lately, we have been seriously busy at work. I've still not got the brakes fitted to the car and I don't like using it when its a struggle to stop. Has soon as I get time to do some video I will. A friend as one of them go-pro cameras I can use. Should be good.

The fronts are a set of GT3 bells I purchased off Ebay to go with 365mm disc's and 6 pot AP calipers. I am going to run Performance Friction pads front and rear.

Hopefully I should be able to get the car in the workshop soon and get them fitted.
It should stop with these on, I think.
