I'm tempering my excitement, Keith. Just in case something goes wrong! :) Hopefully it won't but you never know... and, as said previous in the thread, if there are any 'weaknesses' then the mapping will most likely show them up. Such are the nature of car modifications!

But I'm a teensy bit excited :eek:

I think it should happen... :)

So...

Yes, the good news is that I received a phone call today from pretty much out of the blue and my Trophy is ready for collection! It's been run-in and mapped and she's waiting for me :) As mentioned above, the figures were a little lower than hoped for but I'm putting that down to the extreme heat and the engine being tight! LOL! Not sure on the torques but the bhp is circa 210 (I think). I'll find out more tomorrow. I can't freaking wait!!!!

I'll provide an update or two over the next day or two all being well. I need to put some miles on this new engine that Fred has built me :)

Massive thanks to, of course, Fred@BTM and RSTuning for their sterling efforts and time. And thanks to friends who have helped out along the way as well (@Chi, I'm looking at you). I can't wait to put some miles on and to enjoy it. That ITB sound... mmm... lovely. But I want to try that LSD out! Exciting times :)

Finally I only ever log on here to see how this car is getting on and I'm really glad it's up and running and fairly healthy.

I'll believe it when see it. I think your trophy is now a thing of myth, to maintain CS elite (oh hai) status. ;)

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6]

I'd put the "low" figure mainly down to the fact that people are too used to over inflated nonsense figures from rollers that arent accurate.

Ie 210 is actually pretty good going considering thats a 40 odd bhp increase over a standard car on the same rollers just from some hotter cams, a little more compression, and a set of bodies, thats acutally a very significant increase considering no boost.

Great news mate, very happy for you.

When are you collecting it, today?

210 on those rollers going by results on here in the past is damn good going, especially during a hot July! Bet you're properly chuffed. I miss mine :(

Just arrived in Leeds. Will report back later :) Don't get me wrong, I'm far from unhappy with the result. It's realistically what was expected and I'm over the freaking moon :) Got to run... Laters :)

Heat shouldnt be a big factor as the rollers will have added BHP on to allow for it being a hot day, it has a correction factor built in.

It was 32c in the Dyno. Error correction isn't exactly 100% accurate way of accommodating for the great powers of mother nature.

It's only approximate so if it was really that warm, I'd still say 210 is good going. Captain Answer For Everything :p

Indeed its not 100% accurate as no calculation is (including the one that converted the figure he got of 178@wheels to guessing 210@flywheel), and I have no idea if it actually over corrects or under corrects specifically for 32 degrees, I am just explaining to people that in theory when you run your car at 15 degrees and then at 30 degrees, the final figrue should be the same, as one will correct up and one will correct down and they should meet in the middle, as a lot of people are under the impression that the reading you are given is the power it made that day, it isnt, its the power it made that day used as a base figure and then the dyno standardises it back to a particular temperature and atmospheric pressure.
210 is a nice figure on a hot or a cold day on a dyno that is famed for not being overly generous.

It made over 200 - that'll do!

We could stick the AT sensor in a kettle next time and it'd do better ;)

Mine is of very similar spec to this and made 212 on Pauls rollers, so readings are pretty much spot on. Bet you loved the drive back home with the ITB's ;)
