All components, drawings etc. are with Ben at AWT who is producing it. Afraid I have no information on when this will be.

The F1 tyre technicians inflate them with dried air then evacuate and fill with nitrogen several times. Can't remember the figures now but I think they were achieving over 98.5% Nitrogen rich mix. And yes for anything but a formula car where your tyre spring rates are an essential part of your...

Only thing thats ever made my eyes sting in our dyno cell (which has mega hardcore extraction) was a old Lancia on twin 45's - huge jets and decel overun = massive amounts of unburnt fuel!

I thought you were poor?!?!? Discount column on your invoices getting deleted as we speak ;)

Alright boys and girls calm down ;) It's Kevs car and his project. He contracted us to build an electronics package that met his requirements for the car. Which we did. Kev is a happy boy, we are a happy lot and the car drives brilliantly. I think that sums it up :D

Actualy it's 32bhp gain over what the car went in with and 18bhp gain over what it made as standard. ;)

Can do you 30 day B2B terms? ;)

Yep, including the standard coils! You've been booked in pending you finishing your Vee off for about 6 months now haven't you? ;)

Not that much!!! I wanted to do this project as it gave us opportunity to develop the VVT control required for the X85/C85 engine control project. As such when Kev approached us regarding this we offered to make it happen for the budget he had available. This most definately wasn't a cheap job...

As per your comments on the Renault Sport forum then ;) As I said on there for every 100 people who genuinely like a project they'll always be one who thinks its s**t. :rasp:

The body is a 64mm S2000 spec body with a 97mm trumpet on the end, sorry should have made that clear. Inlet temps on the road are very low so no real issues with filter location etc. afterall Kev runs no arch liner and it has a hole in the bonnet directly above the filter so plenty of ambient...

162ftlb peak, over 150ftlb from 4750 - 7000RPM. :D

Tuning high specific output naturaly aspirated engines will never results in big increases for small budgets. Kevs car has picked up around 18bhp/10% peak with what is essentialy cams and suitable engine control. That's a pretty cracking result in my book. Expectations of 210 - 220bhp/large...

The main reason for the use of a 97mm trumpet on the body is to increase the size of the inlet hose to a point where the required tight bend does not create a loss. With R3 spec pistons and cams Kevs engine would produce around 220bhp, which in the real world negates the requirement for port...

EC1 - the ECU fitted to Kevs car is a joint development between myself (TDF), Paul at RS Tuning and SC who carry out the hardware test and production for us. It's actualy marketed pretty heavily but I will admit that I've neglected road car so far as the ECU was primarily designed as a...

Then motorsport level TCS/LCS with driver adjustable slip allowance (steering wheel mounted controls? ;) ), data logging, sequential box with paddle shift (you know how much you want to!)....... this is going to keep me busy isn't it! LOL

LOL you're only saying that because you've seen the box full of bits I deemed not worthy for the project! :cool:

Hi All, Kev - glad you're a happy boy. It's a proper bit of kit now and is the only road going 197 I've driven that compares directly to an X85 race car in terms of in gear pull and power delivery. Can't wait to see how you do on track! IRRC the car as standard was 184bhp? Is so then thats a...

I was still in the workshop! Emergency calibration job LOL

If you mean just a plain fabricated ally tank then the last thing I would want to do would be to put this in the crash zone at the rear of the car! I have fitted 'uprated' tanks to various cars, from budget ATL saver cells to more expensive custom shaped kevlar/carbon bag tanks which are...

The Omex sensor is more than likely an Marelli WTS05 (spec sheet here: http://motorsport.magnetimarelli.com/PDF/Sensors/SF_WTS05_rev5.0.pdf) or something very similar, it's M12 X 1.5 as previously stated and a 10mm drill bit, as Danny said, in a hand drill will be fine into the French quality...

Thanks :D It came from an article in Race Car Engineering about a project I was involved in a few years ago. The CR built AJV6s are really revy, they have a mega light flywheel and clutch and the engine has quite a bit less friction than the road going version. Even the corporate spec JP1's...

It's a Cosworth Racing built Jaguar AJV6 on port throttles (throttle bodies) running a Pectel T6 ECU with Stack driver display and logging. It weighs about 800 kilos and has a serious aero package. It's a glorious little thing! We monitor engine wear/health and performance drop off during engine...

Not been on CS for a while as I'm buried in work but had text a few mins ago telling me to look in. I'd just like to say a big thanks to all who have recommended TDF and our work. It really makes me smile to hear us being 'given the nod'. I'm not a CS trader or similar so I won't plug us with...

The MCT V12 is a Superleague engine with some minor modifications. There's a few bits in there that I've worked on (it runs a Pectel SQ6M), along with some of the speed over ground stuff and with a bit of luck we'll get some electronics integration stuff at a later date as well. Brilliant...

If you're stuck just call me! :) Your idea to leave some bits unterminated and finish it off at TDF is sound and means we can make sure all is 100%. What are the regs on launch control by the way as I can give you an RPM rise rate control based on throttle position and wheel speed to help you...

Made a start on the loom yet Burp? I've found you some heat shrink off cuts and JT terminals today ;)

The whole 'Hybrid' thing came from the days when we'd create turbos from bits of T3 and T4 to use on YB's or similar. They were a hybrid of two different turbo types. The word 'Hybrid' gets thrown about all over the place these days to describe something with a none off the shelf compressor...

Those are USCAR2 spec connectors and they're a PITA to get as a wire on connector. Bell me (number in the PM I sent you) and I'll try and sort some out for you. That's the closest Molex do off the top of my head: http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/340620025_sd.pdf Cheers M

Well I rather am as I'd like to recover some of the several thousands of pounds I put in to develop this............
