its been a long time, but tis getting there!

[Martin Greaves]

he ran a 10.396 @ 139.40mph at bug jam in the street eliminator class, not bad for pump gas and treads


Russ Fellows has gone 9.51@141mph too

Sorry would have gone faster, but it was only my 4th run in the car.

Can i just say a huge THANKS to you for making my weekend. 

 Seen your car in loads of mags and on the internet but never managed to see it in the flesh, so i was chuffed as f*!k when i heard your car was in attendance and then actually getting to see/hear it run

Keep up the outstanding work

[Martin Greaves]

Hey Martin, coming over for DasDragDay#6...

Frank

its on the callender.

I see you've kept the original hand driven starter system for the motor, have you got a billet crank handle for that Martin

I see some extra room towards the top of the engine compartment....strap on a couple more turbos that will stuff you in the 9's

[AntLockyer]

Nice one. Good to see it going down the strip.

[vwhelmot]

What you need is a glove box full of mini cheddars, that will see you into the 9s. How is the grand master cheese, and your lovely mrs?

[Prowagen]

Martin how narrow is your rear end? What size wheels and mickeys have you managed to squeeze on? I presume its stock width rear wings too?

Cheers.

SSSSSSHHHHIIIITTTT i do! How much would you like and can i pay with soft or hard?

[Martin]

Well its boxingday, the family's round drinking my beer and eating my food.
So i slipped of to the garadge

Ive got a new turbo for the car, so i thought i'd try and fit it up. You'll see its a little bit bigger than the last one.

[Harry/FDK]

Martin, how many licenses does one need to operate this artillery ?

[kev d]

Impressive stuff
Whats the power estimated at now btw?
Cheers,
Kev

[Martin]

its making over 500 hp at the moment at 2.2 bar, and were running a lambda of 7.8 (rich) on the dyno .The new turbo is going to run a little more boost, but the airflow is getting increased a lot more.

as for hp, we wont know until we get back on the dyno. this combo might not work, but youve got to give these things a try. I'm going to be messing with cam timing as well.

I guess us gearheads are all alike, which is sorta comforting to realise 

Ive got a new turbo for the car, so i thought i'd try and fit it up.

Cool, is that a GT35? if so what compressor size and with which A/R turbine?

[Martin]

gt4294R

[Airspeed]

gt4294R

Holy moly! That is HUGE  Then again, with such a large motor and those revs possible 
Pls let me know when all is done, at what rpm it starts making boost, just for my curiosity.
Tnx!

[Martin]

it will make boost from 3.5 to 4K rpm and the motor revs to 9K the power starts dropping off slowly at 8.3K Rpm. this is why we are changing to the larger Turbo with more airflow.


Martin.

[Martin]

Just got back from the rollers,

Bit of a funny night, as we had to cut short the session due to a failed alternator.

But New (much) Larger turbo and redesigned plenums and fuels system all works fantastic, It made the same HP as it used to at a much lower boost, with no increase in timing,

Going to get another Alternator tomorrow then get back on the rollers to get the boost up to a proper level and start advanceing the timing, then start working on the water injection as that will allow us to get even more timing in it.

night all.

Martin

[Patte]

Nice

I´ll bet you it will make 600+hp at the wheels with that new turbo,without increasing the boost past 2,2bar

Good luck.

Cheers.

Now that sounds like a educated guess.

//Patte

the plan is to get it up to 3 bar, all depends on the fuel. were getting really good even EGT readings on the new inlet design, my only concern is the MSD, weather it will be able to light it up at that level.

Time will tell.


Always liked what youve done with the fastback


Martin.

Sounds like you might be gunning for an e/t record this summer..
When you planning on running this summer?
I`d like to come for a look
