Had the car on the dyno today.

Had a fun day down at ECC today, got her mapped on Super Unleaded and a little bit of the methanol map done.

I've no charts at the moment, just a very poor quality video of a pull while running Methanol.

I'll try and get some dyno charts at some stage.

1.8bar on Super Unleaded made 402hp
1.3bar on Methanol made 414hp.

Not used nitrous yet on any runs as it's early days and still learning a few things about running the methanol but its looking promising.

Video of 1.3bar on methanol (rubbish quality)

looking good mate, thats mental without nitrous

It's looking good, the turbo really starts to work at its best from 2bar onwards so will be nice to see what happens up there.

The methanol had a few really nice effects, turbo lag reduced by 500rpm and exhaust gas temps dropped by 100degs.

The video dont do it any justice. The sound of this turbo is just awesome and to make that sort of power figure at 1.3bar
with no tweaks is amazing and without the cheater gas!!!. Cant wait to see what power this car puts out when it actually gets into its efficiency range.

Aye she's stupid loud, can hear the turbo above the exhaust sounds.

Not 100% on the torque, think it was 310flbs on the methanol run. Aye thats the turbo in the pic Starletgtturbo1 originally bought the kit then changed his build plans and sold it to me.

sounds wicked mate, glad it went to a good home. how much boost you going to run on the methanol?

Prob 2.3bar but 2.5 is an option. Should clear 500hp without any nitrous.

I'll get some good quality videos taken soon. I've not actually drove the car so no idea what its going like but she sounds very lively with the methanol in it.
