[stumac1985]

He meant 40bhp more than bit went in with and it was 30bhp down and should be running 203bhp so will come back with 213+bhp

Oh...OK...nevertheless, an impressive figure. :drool::w00t:

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Aye, aiming for a safe 210 and then any more is a bonus!!

I'm aiming for 200-205bhp...

How mate??

Isnt it annoying that you have to improve your engine to even meet the official bhp figure of 194 let alone surpass it. Should be a nice drive if it makes 210, esp as we are used to 180-185 in the 197's

It is indeed pal!! Should go well though!!

 

[Raptor6767]

How mate??

R3/V6 airbox
catcams
matched inlets
miltek exhaust with sport cat
remap
lightweight flywheel

IMHO, it should produce 200bhp

Very annoying!

 

[stumac1985]

should see 200bhp with that, though are you going to run an aftermarket ecu?

Thats everything I used to get to just over 200BHP so you should hit it!!

Little update of where my car is at as we speak. After finding out just how ill it was on the RR (170.4 BHP) and a 9:1 AFR!!

Left in the very capable hands of a good mate of mine Matt (AKA Icarus) from Tour De Force Power Engineering www.tour-de-force.co.uk This lad knows his apples let me tell you! Motorsport all his life, if he dont know it, I wouldnt worry about it!!



All my kit layed out!


Some of the proper weather proof connectors



Now these heat shrinks may look ordinary to you and me but they are top stuff, £4 a pop but they also glue just the end of the wires in place when heated to weather proof themselves



Old inlet manifold removed, we have ordered a new one from Oreca (the Cup series engine builsers) in France to run with the new TB




Old DBW body off



Old and new body side by side, the new WTCC body is also lighter which is a bonus!!

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

New body side on,





New body with the custom connectors



Raychem (expensive as hell) heat shrunk into place!


Old ECU unplugged ready for de-pinning and tracing back to the sensors we need (cam position, crank position, injectors, coil packs)etc....




ECU trial fitted in its end location

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Throttle pedal removed for the new cable unit from a cup racer




BIG inlet trumpet on the body to help force the air in a little



Body trial fitted to check clearance





Thats where we are at as of today.

Matt is working on the rest of the loom(s).

Awaiting the new inlet manifold and pedal assy.

VVT cal will be done next week and final mapping/power testing next Sat

Will need to cut the bulkhead for the TB clearance but will be an easy job.

 

[stumac1985]

so is this setup going ot be using a standard inlet manifold with the wtcc throttle body then?

No, cup racer inlet manifold direct from Oreca!

 

[TRC1418]

good work so far kev, looking forward to see'ing how it all turns out in the end..

 

[stumac1985]

oh, didnt realise they were different?

Cheers pal!! Hows yours doin?

oh, didnt realise they were different?

TBH mate they probably arent performance wise BUT..... they run cable throttle (a Jenvely body) and the holes are the right distance apart for mounting the new one, to re do the customer fitted version would be a right mission!!!

 

[stumac1985]

ah ok. fair enough fella.

 

[Sean]

Mine's got the Renault throttle body from a 1*2, is the Jenvey one just a different fit?
