Would anybody be interested in a rolling road session at Wallace Performance, Aberdeen?

would def be up for this as have to get the car checked for fuelling and boost so was planning a visit to wallace performance

Why the heck not. I dont really need to, but I'll help to make up the numbers and what's the worst that can happen.

Are you inviting any of the alfa/skyline/200sx guys? Also maybe think about posting it on Track Scotland, if we're struggling for numbers.....

The worst is that you could be laughing at our results.
Baz!!

I've not invited them yet as we don't have a date. Whens good for you guys?

Best not to schedule it around me as I could be away any time. If I'm here, I'll come; if not then I'll miss it. Simples.

any weekends good for me

I'll check when I'm not needed to take Kim to her work and let you know Kelv .

Baz

Matt- I like a straight forward man
Doug- Cool
Baz- Nae bother

I would like to attend this event, but might need a bit of time to sort my coupe, nice to see Matty again

I'm sure you'll get it sorted in time Ronster.

Are you and Matty secret lovers or something

Shhh it's a secret

Hows Feb 13/14 for you guys?

Hmmm,between concerts,birthday parties and work February is pretty much booked up for me I'm afraid .

Baz

Two chances Ill be able to make it..

Sorry mate

i can make it but sounds as if it might be better having it in march so a few more folk can make it

Right March 6/7 then?

Any time is good for me Kelv. I plan to be hungover on the 6th, but nothing some exhaust fumes and 5 pot warble wont clear.

thats good for me

Does that mean 6th is out for you Matt?

I'll manage

I could manage the 6th if that's going to be the date .

I'll still need to take Kim to her work at 6am but it should take me just over an hour to get up to the usual meet up point at Silverburn.

Baz

Excellent guys

Working that weekend for a change!

I suppose I better get my finger out and get that SMIC fitted now to make the journey worthwhile .

Baz

My watch says....its about time Baz!

I've just confirmed with Matty about this and the date would be the Saturday 6th of March.

Is it just us then Kelv or have you invited anyone else?

Kelv
mattB
doug
Baz

Just us Matt..have not informed other forums as i don't want to tell them its called off again if too few of us are showing up

If anyone is in touch with Mr Matty could you possibly ask him what the procedure is if your car has a chunky bumper and lowered a bit.

Don't really want to travel all the way up there to either not get on or crack a bumper, will be changing the front ( again ) at some point.

Dont worry, we'll remove it if need be. But I dont think there will be a problem.

Ronnie I'm sure it will be fine, but don't worry - where there is a will, there is a way!

I'll ask Fran if he's interested, although he is a bit of a wimp so I dont hold out too much hope......

not for me this time,car might be there though getting rebuilt,so give it a wash for me

Washed with lovely exhaust fumes

how kind of you lol
hope you's have a great day

I am indeed.....

I have been holding off since I will most likely be offshore unfortunately. Bloody work!!!

Well got my Pace SMIC fitted tonight,not as bad a job as I thought it was going to be and I managed to keep the funnel so just a wee bit of plitering about with my Greddy and I'll be ready (hey that rhymes ).

Baz

Anybody know if Wallace Performance are any good with carbs (Dell'Ortos specifically) or can recommend a RR in Scotland (as near to Inverness as possible) that is?

I've just email Matty to ask.

I just called them and they recommended Ricky Gauld at Huntly - thank you.

How's the snow situation in Aberdeen just now? Is it likely to cause us problems getting up there at the weekend ?

Baz

Fine here by the coast - think it's around Dunblane/Stirling that it's been bad where it's a bit more inland.

I don't think sparky will be bringing his car
I'll try to get him to come along though... or else the burger van will have terrible sales on that day.

Hope everyone else can make it?

i will def be there, hopefully the cold weather and uprated turbo will mean i can finally break the 220bhp barrier lol

What a wimp.

Let's have some predictions then on what you will achieve. I am going to say (assuming it's not unexpectedly running mega lean like last time) 330 bhp and 320 lbft. Although my clutch might have other ideas and I haven't decided what boost I'm running yet.....


There's a creme egg in it for whoever gets closest to their actual figures.

I'm optimistically hoping for somewhere closer to 250bhp,although like a few of us I think my clutch may be a limiting factor in it when I up the boost .

Baz

Hmmm..i'm hoping for somewhere close to 300bhp with 300lbs/ft.

Cars in for a clutch change at the moment

What time are you guys planning on getting there?

Anytime suits me,the earliest I can leave though is 6:30am as I've got Kim to take to her work first.

What clutch have you went for Kelv?

Baz

I think it would be the same time as before Matt..arrival at around 11.
8 a.m at Silverburn Baz?

Got the CG 6-paddle mate.

That time is fine for me matey . Looking forward to hearing how the new clutch feels too .

Baz

Have fun this weekend guys, unfortunately I won't make it as I am currently stuck off the coast of Great Yarmouth.....

Hopefully you wont get too excited and turn up the boost too much MattB

Well that was..... interesting.

I think it'd be fair to say the results were a little disappointing across the board, although doug looks like he'll be making good power with a bit of a tweak to the mapping.

My car continues to test my patience.

Thanks guys for coming up - good to see you again. And cheers Matty for your efforts today. In particular, not blowing up my engine.

By the way doug, your nearside brake light isn't working.

No problem.

Thanks for the attendance guys, good to catch up with you all.

Well I made it home about an hour ago,had to switch to a lower boost pressure as I was starting to have a bit of clutch slippage and I confirmed it when I got closer to home,so it looks like new clutch time (along with the 6 speed gearbox ). So hopefully after I've attended to my doughnuts and done the other jobs I might have an improvement.

Once again,thanks Matty for your time today and good to catch up with the rest of you guys as well .

Baz

cheers matt, will get it changed, was good to see everyone again, will be interesting to see what your car makes when the car gets that prob sorted out as it looked to making really good power even on base boost, i am looking foward to getting the map tweaked on mine and getting a final figure for it as well

Just got up from my nap...

Yes indeed, thanks to Matty and all that made it today. Figures are crap today but the drive back home was good after Matty tweaked the greddy to give it abit more torque...so that is atleast a consolation

So what were the results then gents?

I *think* I got 200 lbft and 236 bhp. I forgot to get any printouts.

266bhp and 234lbft torque although that will hopefully be higher after a bit of map tweaking, but even at that its 50bhp more than i made last time so well pleased, matt figures were at base boost 0.8bar so should be interesting when running full boost

My results were 220 bhp and 225 lbft . I guess I shouldn't grumble seeing as my Coop is at 123K and it's still reaching the standard outputs,I was just hoping that I would see this elusive 250bhp while still running a standard turbo on a Gtec1 chip.

I guess if I don't see any improvement after I sort a possible boost leak from my manifold doughnuts and change my clutch I'll probably ditch the chargecooler and Pace SMIC and try a FMIC with a superspool .

Baz

can i have first dibs on the SMIC if you do Baz lol

Thanks for your optimism Doug .

Baz

lol sorry baz, that sounded bad

No probs matey . I imagine you'll be there at the next RR session anyway to know the result.

Baz

If I have some form or respectable automobile I'll come to the next one if I may - doubt it will be a Coupe though

Show you some diesel powaaah!

Can Wallace do 4x4?
