owen g60

well back to my first post. You are dissipating the rotational energy quicker due to being closer to the edge of the wheel... just like stopping the drum in a washing machine as i described first time round

If youre basing all this on tyres... get better tyres to take advantage of the brakes. Put budget tyres on say an Aston martin DB7... and the best you can get on a corrado... try stopping both from 60 to 0 Guarantee the Aston will stop first due to the larger size of brakes

as per my first post... the closer to the edge of a spinning object the braking force is applied the quicker it will stop. however if you lock the wheels then there is no improvement. if your theory is correct that they are no better then why before ABS did higher performance cars have bigger brakes that a small MK1 golf for example?

this is what i was looking for... If for example the ABS will pulse 30 times on one rotation of a standard rotor.... if you go bigger it will then pulse maybe 45 times on the larger one. You are therefor applying more barking force per one rotation of a wheel and will slow quicker ---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ---------- because usually you come off the brakes when you start to skid then re apply... or is that just me?? basically doing the same function as the abs

It's a simple case of leverage/centrifugal motion. The further away from a pivot point the less effort involved. The closer to the edge of a spinning object the force is applied the easier and quicker it stops.... Go spin the drum on a washing machine and try to stop it with your hand near the centre of the drum then do the same thing near the lip. You will then see the theory in practice

Cheers Redfox. Its a Big 'G' rocker cover... they pop up every now and again on ebay... i found it by chance the guy had listed it incorrectly so pain next to nothing for it. I have a polished battery cover but need to trim it down a bit as it will no longer fir due to the way i have to route the intercooler pipes... should be able to squeeze it in when it been trimmed

I don't have a check valve It is a joiner as I couldn't get a hose long enough. My pipe was custom made to do the job

Have everything a clean today. Engine shot with new air box and leads

Here you can see how I re routed it inline the intake

I recon £12 posted should do it

I have one complete with surround, vent and up down wheel thing

Well I re routed mine into my intake path... I'll take a pic or 2 for you. I used to not go much above 12 psi until I did it on my old charger. Please don't run the car with the isv unplugged... It can kill the isv driver circuit... Doing this cost me an ecu :(

Does your isv vent to atmosphere or back to the throttle body?? If it goes to atmosphere you won't see higher than 14/15 psi as that is its leaking point

All depends on your pulley size. My charger was a jabba stage 4 but I ported it more when I did the rebuild. I was seeing similar figures with a 68mm pulley before my rebuild. Are you still running the boost return? Does your isv vent to atmosphere or back to the intake path?

With a really heavily ported charger and 65mm pulley I see 14psi. Near the limiter which is now at 7500 I saw 23 psi on Sunday night!!!

Looking at routes... About 2 1/2 to 3 hours if traffic is good

Dark blue... Possibly mystic storm going the opposite way to me near the Mountbatten pub in Poole/Bournemouth just about managed to exchange waves

That them not knowing the rules on plates. I used to keep a print out with the legislation on it as I had a bit of grief when I first got my pressed legal plates

Cool Let me know what's occurring

Hmmm 5 pm leaving time for me Any services near by that someone wouldn't mind meeting me?? I want to go but will probably get lost otherwise

Anybody know what time this starts as I would have rather a long trip from the south coast

A little perspective on this... Any one remember about a year ago all the fuss over Europe imposing rules about fuel types (I believe it's e10 as widely used on the continent) and all the issues it would cause? Was that just a storm in a teacup? I didn't hear anything after a month or so of it surfacing

I see someone mentioned about maps on ecus... I feel this is designed to get rid of bad chips... eBay specials etc... Again most places will have some kind of standards Iso etc. I can't see how a well mapped car would be banned... Since mapping mine has a lower emission level than what it did as standard... I have the mot printouts to prove this.

Ive seen this on so many forums... there has been a major over reaction to this. As long as the parts you use meet the relevant standards (BSI,TUV etc) there is nothing to worry about... German parts makers have been aiming off for this for a few years now, they will now supply data sheets for obsolete to prove the standards to which they have been made... the same applies to near enough all other manufacturers, they will have the data on their parts... most parts fitted to older cars are going to exceed the original specs of the car anyway... mk4 brake upgrade on mk2 golfs springs to mind yes it will mean people will have to keep the paperwork that comes with parts, but who doesnt have a folder of reciepts etc for their car anyway!

will do david... ill grab the nut for my aerial whilst im at it :D
