Well we set off from clunderwen south wales at 5am to go to WGT for a checkup
After about 1.5 hours of, well lets say wet,muggy conditions, we came across some white stuff

now its time to think which way i want to mod it.
Looking good mate.....
Mine will be up with pip I think at the start of the summer..... got to get a few more of the tuning mods on first!!!
Jono
Blimey, now thats very brave indeed:2eek :2eek
That is dedication!
I might get flamed here but I had to cancel my WGT mapping for the same day as was going to take too long to clear the drive and lane leading to my house :(
Gutted I missed the BK too :o
:flamed NO wouldnt do that :D i would have prob done the same thing but a few of us are heading to s/pod this weekend and as the car is new to me just wanted to put my mind at rest before i cane it up the strip :burnout
\'Big thanks to pip ......... and burger king for lunch\'

Hiya, would I be right in saying that timmy\'s old rex??
/\\ yes it would be that car !
ye that is timmys old rex
well 2 say i was a little pi**ed off was a understatment mine got 280 atf at 0.5 bar but thats down 2 a faulty boost controller 1 min it boosted 0.5 then it was 1.4 when pip had to let off so new solinoid required but pip said the car was capable of "lots " wit a few more bits so back i go on the 19th mwahahaha with the last of my budget lol
Quote from: ace-rx7/\\ yes it would be that car !
Wow! I was under the impression that rex was stock?? its running 300 bhp?? thats pretty impressive! how did you manage that?? think I might go outside and pop my bonnet!

Haha mate, I know the feeling! I keep chucking money at mine with so far little success! think I need a new mechanic!
I guess yoo would be the othe black one I am assuming??
yep it is totally stock, bar the exhaust, and hks bov. i was a little chuffed to say the least.
have got a spare bedroom full of stuff, xs power smic,japspeed down pipe, arc induction, and some induction hard pipes with not so good filters.
the arc is on, but i am still thinking about the xs ic as they seem to get slated and the arc wont fit if i do put on ???
I had my rex in at super 7 for a boost problem that turned out to be a bad vacuum line and saw your car there getting the engine done and was given the run down. I have pics of the porting job they to it if your interested??

No worries. they are on my other sd card and I have a feeling that might be on my desk at work. I\'ll check 2mora and post them up during my lunch. Did pip do any mapping by the way or was it all good?? thinking about getting super 7 to do mine.
Are those BK\'s i spot on the bald car? Copycat!!!:p
he did comment on the map and said "it has got a nice map on there" but he did twick abit.
yeah Ballys has got the bk\'s they really do look good
ace is that really 300bhp (flywheel),, on 10psi,,,, thats pretty dam good with minimal mods?
Can i ask was there a before and after power (basically asking how much did pip get you extra) did car feel better from the tune?
i did get 2 print outs, heres the one at the wheels.

i think there is something not right about it tho ? if anyone knows how to read them please enlighten me :3Confused i was happy to here 300bhp and kind of blanked the rest :spank
he did say that it was only blowing on one turbo so found me best part of 80-100bhp by getting the other to work !
and i really didnt cane it before (much :D ) as i didnt know if safe , but it does feel alot better now
What is it that you don\'t think looks right?
Looks bang on as the Hub is what WGT measure so is accurate and then they calculate for you the Flywheel HP which gave your 300 which is :cool
There should also be 1 other sheet that shows your boost setting too.
Knowing Pip I would guess it would show something like 0.86 boost.
Let us know what you would want explaining though and be pleased with figures that is excellent especially from almost stock.:wave
Love the pics! Bet you had a few exciting moments.

its just the torque figure is huge !!! but now you mention it, he did say something about calculating to flywheel !
i only got the 2 printouts ? and pip did say it was 0.85 as it didnt like any higher..
what do the 3 lines indicate, i think red as it was,green the mapping changes and then the purple the final figure after tweaking settings !!!
Ace, was there any particular reaso you went to Pip are there no closer tuners to you? i want to get mine mapped also, is Pip expensive, ? if you don\'t mind me asking.
Cheers Bob
Pip is the closest to us........ or it\'s a trip down to the south coast!!!
We are 100 miles west of cardiff (any further & you get wet feet!!!!
Jono
as jono has said WGT is the closest at 200 miles,the drive is not the best but dont really mind the a+b roads. as for cost £250+vat for the session oh plus £5 for some vac pipe :rolleyes:
Hiya Bud,
Yes the 3 different lines will be the different runs on the dyno.
The Wheel BHP is accurate and the Torque on that same sheet is at a ratio of 4.1 so if you divide the large torque figure by 4 you will get a torque figure at the wheels too (which will be a bit less same as BHP at wheels is less than at Fly)
HTH
Now please don\'t quote me on that it is just my understanding :D
I was laughing as I originally thought that I had a car with almost 1000lbft of Torque :rollin Now that would be nice!
lol my fd has trouble staying streight in the dry never mind snow!!!
