  1. Few more questions I can think of. 1. Whats the best mething of stripping the wires? 2. Any specific crimp tools required? 3. How did you protect the soldered connections? 4. Is there any parts of the wiring that I need to watch for length wise i..e. that are almost two short? Im sure there will be loads more and I'll try and take photos as I go along to hel people in the future.
  2. Thanks, read through the instruction last night and im fairly confident on getting it done. Will just need to take my time. For the ABS is it either of the sensor lines that you can use?
  3. Could the guys that have done this take some photos of where the lines are spliced in and where you have placed everything.
  4. Technically if you have a 15in tyre it will fit on a Speedline. The 45/50 etc is the profile or sidewall depth. 195/205 is the width in mm. Theres next to no difference between them so dont worry about it.
  5. 20% loss the norm? Not sure about March, we often have snow in April up here!!!
  6. Just read through Shauns build thread and the power / torque graphs are posted on this page - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=27296&start=270 If I read that right the diff between the ATW and ATF power is 65bhp with ATW figure of 336bhp. Isnt 65bhp loss a bit high, mine was only 39bhp? The ATW figure seems about right does it not? All these different dyno's seem to be causing the differences. :shrug: A definitive RR day seems to be the only way to find out how we all perform, would still prefer Stealth though so I can be lazy and get my TC fitted at the same time :lol:
  7. Just along the road from Poole then. This could be feasible.
  8. Wheres JKM? I visit my brother in Poole a couple of times a year so I could save up for fuel and bring it down.
  9. This is the reason I put my original post up as there does seem to be a fair bit of variation between similar spec cars. Where are all the Stealth turbo conversion guys?
  10. I would stick to standard pressures. The sidewall are slightly harder I think and if you run them too soft it could cause the snipes and grooves to close up. When I run full wets on the bike many people think softer pressures help but all that does is close up the gaps that allow the water to flow out which then defeats the purpose of the tyre. I could be wrong on the winter tyre though but it would make sense to me.
  11. What I was told was dont worry too much about trying to achieve your final aim. The main thing that we were assessed on was following engineering principals and how we methodically analysed the results. The way your findings are reported and your conclusions / nest steps are also looked at to see that you can communicate effectively through reporting. I didnt really find out that much but still managed to get a good score for my Thesis as I presented it well and showed that I understood what and why I was doing things.
  12. I found when doing mine that when I read my report it sounded like I had done very little research compared to what I had actually done. Pictures speak a thousand words but try not to use too much and dont use them to pad it out. When you start the practical side you will find that all the data will take up a lot room and you often have to filter what you put in so it is relevant.
  13. Probably rub with that width/profile Im afraid.
  14. Wow, some impressive figures from fairly low boost levels. What were you guys ATW figures?
  15. Id get it treated now then wait till the better weather and get it donw properly. Id love another 24v.
  16. I have red pads there pretty crap. I was told yellow stuff ones were alright. Performance Friction if your feeling flush.
  17. After my run on the RR on Sat I was trying to see how the other turbo guys on here had faired but not many figures banded about to compare against so I thought I about a quick poll for info. I'll start: Brief engine spec 2.8l, Schimmel 263 cams, 8.5:1 Comp, FMIC, short runner, 3in DP + system with CAT Turbo Garrett GT3582r (1bar) Power 359bhp Torque 315ft-lbs

    Plugs were fine before it. I cannot remember exact spec but they are NGK's. The downpipe to turbo is not a perfect match if im honest, there is a little exhaust leak. Boost pipes all seem fine. Possibly right about the IC piping. Must just be a combination of loads of little things like that I suspect.

    8.5:1 I think. I have the 263 cams as well. Could the CAT be a reason for the difference as I dont think mine is that great TBH. It has felt slightly lacking in pull recently.

    Looking at your graph Im about 250rpm behind your torque values. Apart from the turbo there quite different motors are they not but results are pretty similar from what I can see. Im just about 40bhp down at top end as well as the peak torque figure.

    3in system with two silencer boxes. I have the 0.82 housing on mine with 3.68FD on the box, it did seem to spool slower than normal. Not sure if the RR operater just added a bit more load to stop it from coming on to quick to get a nice progressive increase. Is that even possible though?
  22. Heres mine from yesterday, I was shuddering at thinking what all that salt was doing to the alloy bits.

    Different turbo and slightly less boost than when he had it but its no slouch. Heres the graph, dont know where I got the 363bhp as stated above :confused4: .
