Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project
I think Chris can take his Dad's 5 series so shouldn't be a problem now. We're meeting on Saturday but I'm sure Tim and I can meet you next week as well.
Get Mike to turbo it.
Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project
Did you get my PM earlier about Le Mans?
I think you should forge the engine as it would be silly not to if rebuilding/swapping the engine. At least then you'll know the engine is healthy and a good base for ITBs or a turbo.
The next meets will be in Reading (probably Nandos), Portsmouth or Southampton (not sure what/where yet so any suggestions?) and I want to do a weekend meet somewhere central to everyone for some photos (maybe Chesil Street car park in Winchester).
Most meets are on weekday evenings or daytime...
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Do you know if they were using just the engine mount and not the stabiliser bar?
A larger turbo needs a custom exhaust manifold which is expensive. Also with my R26 doing 20k a year the hybrid will give more than enough power.
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Top engine mount bolt shearing? I'll keep the rear stabiliser bar.
I am as well!
Yes that's Pete's Panda. It will be flying along to Le Mans!
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Yes, 350 would be very nice but I'm expecting it to be closer to 330 than 350.
Thanks Scutch. I need some R26r wheels soon, look great on yours.
I'd noticed a slight lack of top end power but I put it down to my failing injectors. It's still quicker than most...
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Yes, only 256 :o
Before I fitted those mods last September it had run 270bhp.
I'm hoping it'll be ready for the Castle Combe Action Day in April, if it is I'll take you out. Delay at the moment is the lead time on the rods and pistons.
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Update:
Last September I fitted the ITG induction kit, Forge hardpipes and 630cc injectors.
Unfortunately when up at RS Tuning having it mapped Paul discovered that the turbo was damaged so only made 256bhp when I was hoping for 285bhp+ :dapprove:
I was...
I had the Harp issue the other day. I fixed it by setting my iPhone to never auto-lock then left it with the Harp going and it unfroze after 20 minutes.
