can't be 2.9 surely!!!

I'd have thought a westerfield would do it in around 1.8 on roadies - assuming a very powerfull engine?

yours ??? thought you had morspeed head , lightweight etc you not intercooler??? sure you could run more boost ... ask on this site , i`m sure someone would have some good advice on running a bit more boost ....lol.

would have thought 15.8 was bit off the pace even for a bog std metro lump

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

i know carl (minime) was running those sort of times with a full road car (stereo etc etc) with 60bhp at the wheels (sub 100bhp)

thought you had a fair bit of power/torque alex from what you said.

plus it should be fairly light....

yup mine :)

yes its got a morspeed head.... None intercooled... and running low boost as the bleed valve had slipped over winter.

I only noticed on my 3rd run so I cranked it up to 8psi and then blew the exh manifold gasket as I hit 3rd LOL

I have about 120 bhp according to one set of rollers *happy* thats all I have ever said.

So yes I could run more boost, but my engine is basically std remember... so 6psi on a low comp std engine is probably less power than a std turbo lump.

It was good fun thou *happy*

Keep trying..*wink*

I didn't think it was either Jon!!

LOL - funnily enough I tried to give you a ring on saturday and ask some beginner questions about quarter mile racing, but the number I got for you is wrong.

Not sure its aero dynamic thou... not with an ill-fitting clubman front!

As the boost rises, the seconds fall...

Did you machine (grind/file/linish) the outer manifold faces so they're level with the inner branch? This is usually why the gasket starts weeping; The manifolds seem to suffer from warpage pretty badly...

nope I started with a completely unkown engine! I did one trackday then bloted on the Morspeed head and got it setup at VMAX.

Since then I've done nothing to the engine....

I've never seen the bearings/pistons or anthing else inside LOL.

It wasn't suppost to last as long as it has, hence why I was impressed when I got it RR'd.

6psi on my engine is probably less power than a std lump. Yes the head flows better but with a lower comp ratio its bound to be down on power! On my 4th run the car took off much faster than b4 (same 60 foot time but with wheel spin 1st and 2nd!).

The only way is up... least I'd be hard pushed to not beat my PB next time *happy*
