Mighty Car Mods Season 6

[Jay Payne]

Gramps has got to be pushing some serious numbers with the setup. Any guesses?

 

[Fred@BTM]

a quick google reveals that the EZ36 engine they've used is 260ps standard in NA trim, but its on a 10.5:1 comp ratio! I didn't see them do anything in terms of rods/pistons, so i guess its a case of whack boost at it and see what happens! The E85 will help though! That'll do 550-600bhp i would guess, how long it lasts for though is a different story!!

I dread to think what he thought of a load of blokes gathered together
in the name of tiny sub 200bhp N/A shopping trolleys.

Didn't enjoy that Lend us a Ride stuff. Too scripted/shite.

I'm with you on this tbh.

They should stick with what they do best (Muck around fixing/modding cars).

I liked the Lend us a Ride series, reminded me of a Top Gear road trip.

Agree actually, like it was trying too hard to be topgear. The driveway stuff is much more enjoyable

The arduino contraption is an awesome idea!

Also wondering why no Recaros? When they're sponsored by them.

Ditto, some cringe, mostly good!

Enjoyed the latest Gramps vid, really funny too.
It sounded f**king epic in the extra vid on mcm2, the boost! :O

Was this the oem hvac unit that twinned as pretty much anything you want? Brilliant idea, surprised no one else on here has commented after getting a semi. Mmmm oem-ness

Wonder if that arduino can be linked to a tablet. Have a tablet stuck in the dash with an app for heater controls etc

just have it doing everything and have a tft touch screen in the dash

 

[dajones]

That would probably be easier than tablet really. I just don't get how you can find out what sort of signal you need to program to send

 

[Jaff.]

There are ways and means. Cba to explain though lol
