So......whats everyones plans for next year? Could we do some hill climbs as well.....maybe?

Post 420249 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-30 18:04:12

I went - got there (having not read the earlier posts) & thought - where is everybody?? It was a bit showery around lunch time when I got there. Soon the clouds broke & I had a really good afternoon - though it would have been nice to have had some company. Anyway - I won! I guess by default that no-one else came & the only other Volvo's running were a s40 1.9D & an Amazon. Both were doing the gambler bracket racing thingy. On a brighter note - I set my year's PB - & ran 14.505 @ 104.71!! Which is pretty fast you'd have to say. Didn't use slicks & didnt even empty the spare wheel out of the boot plus I have a stinky cold. Ran some 14.6s too. I am a smidgen of the lower 14s. So close!! Had a few nice compliments from the other drivers. Not sure about the torque result (android app) as the numbers didn't match. Intake temp peaked at 48 degrees & boost at 25 psi (though I am sceptical that this is correct).

Post 420353 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-30 20:48:37

I know that - I was hoping he might be listening. Still think that I can possibly get some more of the first 60. If not then it must lie in the 60' to 660'. Interestingly enough - my best one of these does not lie within my PB - and the top 5 of these are all done at York.

Post 420362 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-30 21:18:14

My best time is my best 60' - so I think the launch is the key. So many variables - about how quick to pull in the clutch to keep the revs up. To my mind with the larger turbo I have to be in the boost zone from the get go.

Post 420363 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-30 21:22:44

there is little variation in the 1/8 mile speed. PB I was doing 77.22 mph - next best result overall I was doing 78.15 mph. My fastest ever speed-wise was 79.07 at York - which produced only my 5th quickest time of 14.676 @ 103.22. The time at the 1/8th mile mark & the speed do not seem to correlate. The top 10 results only vary by 2 mph at the 1/8th Similarly the trap speed at the 1/4 varies very little. It is always over 100

Post 420395 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-30 22:11:16

Thanks Dean - If the 60' is the same as mine then I can only figure that it entirely down to the 2nd gear push. I can increase this using an MBC - but the risk is that the rods will crumble by putting too much in too early. Do you know what pressure you are running in 2nd?

Post 420701 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-10-31 23:50:08

I am very pleased with the terminal - but still a bit niggle in an irrational sort of way that I am not further up the list when comparing the terminal speeds of the other members. I am a bit scared to push more in the 2nd gear as it is widely accepted that higher boost - lower down can damage your rods. Now this could mean lower gears? Also I am a little reticent given the age of the engine. I cannot afford to do a great deal if the engine goes clonk. There again I could be talking bollox. I think Hamish & I may look again at seeing if the map can be adapted. There is no 2nd gear map as is widely conceived - the map does all gears.
