SAMS BLACK LCR GT2871 build. THE END :( !!!

[sambryant]

hello not much to update sadly
i have booked my tickets for GTI INTERNATIONAL 2012
i am also going to jap fest at castle combe this saturday, will be repping seat all the way

i did some power runs tonight, mixed results really, 226 gs so im -6 off my best, i may have a small boost leak, car still felt very strong top end.
but this was the surprise


327 ftlb from 1.4 bar of capped boost. when i remove the mbc to release my 2 bar spike and wmi its going to be rather epic torque from a k04 so glad i have rods
thats pretty much it for now
peace out

I wouldn't worry too much about being lower than you've reached, my 269 seems to be the highest and couldnt get it again lol.

Nice mate are you on a club stand at Inters? It'll be good to meet up and finally but a face to the name.

 

[Heidi]

Loving your engine bay, looks pretty sweet!

I'll be easy to spot, I'll be the one pulling bits off your motor to fit to mine

Still not decided whether to go Inters' or not.. Might be away yet.

You've got until the 8th of June to prebook tickets and stand passes. FYI

hello all. i had a mega detailing session today just to look good in repping seat at jap fest tomorrow
i added some manufacture decals to my engine bay, not sure about them tbh so whats your thoughts?
few pics







really need a good camera. iphone 4 cam sucks ass

 

[poliq]

Car looks super nice and shiny!!
as for the decals I think you found a good spot..!

 

[deansutherland]

Engine pay looks awesome mate reli good work

 

[deansutherland]

Just a thought I bought a s3 upper strut and prob a stupid question I couldn't figure out how to fit it cos it just looks like u have to drill it on there's nothing in the bay that actually hold it u got any Ideas mate cheers

 

[seatcupramad23]

Yes u have to drill mate

 

[wild willy]

It all looks great quality and tasteful mate, well done. Have a good time at inters.
Don't worry about the maff readings, the butt dyno always knows best. I can pull 250g/sec + but won't flow past 290bhp on the dyno due to the stock manifold so proves the maff is just a yardstick. Even if your top end hasn't dramatically improved (which i'm sure it has), the mid range will have improved with possibilities for extra timing maybe and reduced egt's. Only one way to find out and thats to get her on the truth teller.

Yes u have to drill mate

Cheers mate

stickers on bonnet look gay, rest look pimp

future plans

hello all, not really an update
i have been thinking of future plans for my car. seeing as its capable of taking big power im thinking why not?
so im going down the k04 hybrid route just to test and prove that the new relentless hybrid is a great reliable turbo.
After this i will be going bt. well not really big but im after 400bhp max so turbo wise im looking at a GT2871. want something with quickish spool and 400bhp. i will build this up on a spare block and hopefully transfer it to my car with not too many issues. other plans are a uprated clutch, probably the awesome gti kit. then i will be looking at diffs. this will be a slow project due to limited funds and other commitments but should be fun and a big learning curve i hope
peace out

I feel exactly the same to be honest mate. First i want to get my setup running at max potential then i want to enjoy it. After that i think BT but early spool is a must and a tight budget too. Exciting times ahead. (375bhp max for me.)

 

[sambryant]

good man, i would be more than happy with 375 tbh. the trouble with the k04, it seems torque out weighs bhp. so you get so much bottom end but due to the lack of top end it leaves you wanting more. saying that i have not felt a hybrid yet, im sure that pulls much harder top end.
