That supercharger kicks in quickly huh? The whine is great.

Was there any improvement to your laptime with the sc?

I've only been to this track four times so there is a lot to improve (lines, braking points).
Last time when I was there I was doing 1:33 at best so, yes, the SC did improve the lap time.

It is really a great track with all the elevation changes etc. we call it the mini nurburgring.
It is the very reason for me to go back to the stock exhaust. (95db limit).

Wow, that sounds awesome. I'm sure it's in your other thread, but could you post your dyno numbers?

Thanks, Paddy

Nice video. I would like to hear your impressions of the difference before/after the SC.

Juha, congrats on getting things running without any flaws!

The track indeed reminds me of sections of the Nurburgring, I think you have way too much power under your foot right now to really learn the track;-)

The supercharger whine is quite distinct, throttle seems instantanious....again good job, now go for 0.6 bar boost....you know you want to, yes you do!:-)

Looks great Juha, your sc whine is much more pronounced than in my car - sounds wierd but in mine it almost sounds like wind chimes....

Now go for 0.8 bar - - I've been tempted too.

OT but what kind of camera are you using, and how is it mounted? On a rollbar? TIA

Love it, seems to pull real good....

Big kudos to you and your buddies, to be on track right after s/c install without problems is exceptional.

Happy midsummer!!

sounds exactly like mine. I think the whine is just more audible given where the cam is situated in the car more rearward and for whatever reason easier for the microphone to pick up then the lower exhaust note. Fun being able to keep up with more things on the straights
