Fastest Stock twins uk record was set by sdminus, he ran stock twins sequentially at 12 second dead on the quarter mile, a lot of singles cant match this. He ran on stock ports, he had uprated fuelling mods,Apexi PFC, he ran the Aquamist HFS5 kit and tuned it on 50:50 methonal.
He had approx over 380 at the wheels

what about the cooling setup and induction kit?

He had a Front mounted intercooler and uprated rad, I think he had the blitz kit but cant be sure on that

Plus he had done huge mods and testing on getting good launches on the strip. He has a great deal of knowledge on the water injection side of his setup.

Very nice guy that I used to chat to a lot about getting quicker on the stock twins.

No it was a trust/Greddy fmic, an aftermarket rad plus Apexi style induction. But he did mount the radiator slightly over to the left and also the FMIC and put some custom ducting to the induction kit.

His car was insane !! He took me out on a number of occasions and I was just blown away by how it performed. Plus he got my respect because a lot of what he did was self taught.

Helped me out a number of times with my car, he does lurk here sometimes (cant remember the id now) but is more into Go Karting which he is doing pretty well at.

Scott is not a member here now, so you wont catch him here. he is still very much in to his karts, is very knowledgeable with WI.
He is helping with a cool project at the moment on WI.

gary do you have contact details for him? i am currently part way through designing my WI system, and in discussion with richard at aquamist about it, but it might be quicker to talk to someone with RX knowledge! I am starting to think that the more peoples input i have on this the better!

Anyone else got some repectable power on twins? Also what boost was the fella running? I guess it must have been pretty high, esp. w/water inj.
Title: fastest stock twins...what other engine mods do you have?
Post by: BenLewisMav on September 02, 2008, 08:27:13 PM
Also I was wondering, does running the twin sequentially or non-sequentially have any outcome to the final power?  I imagined that running both turbos up top would yeald far higher power figures, but I personally prefer that low down kick...
Title: fastest stock twins...what other engine mods do you have?
Post by: BlitzBoy on September 02, 2008, 08:31:45 PM
Ben, Scott ran them sequentially at just over a BAR , also Warthog ran them seqentially and he attained 389 rwhp
Title: fastest stock twins...what other engine mods do you have?
Post by: skybusr34 on September 02, 2008, 08:34:46 PM
im pretty sure it does not raise top end power, ust alters the delivery
Title: fastest stock twins...what other engine mods do you have?
Post by: chrisJDM on September 02, 2008, 08:48:26 PM
Warthog was running his at 1.2bar boost, went through a couple of twin turbo packs i think.  That is really pushing it thou you wont get anymore then that and expect to replace them a few times aswell.
Most run a Front Mount intercooler.

Mine was running quite good power on stock twins although i never had it dyno\'d, here is the spec:

Rebuild and Street Ported Engine
Apexi Power FC and Commander, mapped to 1.1bar
GReddy Induction Kit
Bailey Venturi Dump Valve
GReddy Profec B Boost Controller
GReddy Front Mounted Intercooler with hard pipes
1600cc uprated secondary injectors
Uprated Nippondenso Fuel Pump
Uprated Fuel Rail
Uprated Downpipe, silenced de-cat and Apexi Back Box
Battery Relocated to Boot
Aluminium AST
Engine Torque Damper
Koyo Performance Radiator
Air Pump Removed
Air Con Removed

The only thing i was missing really was water injection.

yes correct it does not raise top end power, non seq effectivly chops the bottom end of the power band, people who go non seq say its more driveable as they dont like the 4500 transition others like seq as its quicker around town and more tractable

What sort of power did you manage to get mate? thats the sort of set-up im going to be running eventually but instead of a FMIC im going to use an ARC SMIC.

so how reliable was the set up or were you regularly having to change parts, anything else you can tell us about it as i\'m quite interested in keeping the stock twin set up on mine....

It was pretty good really. The only parts that let me down were the transmission and a few boost solinoids etc. The car was built around a spec i put together and stuck to. In the end i started to get into bigger projects on it and i lost my inital idea and interest.
 
I was only running 1.0bar of boost when i ran the 12.0 and also had a TPS fault. When i changed to 4th gear the tps would only give 85% in the final run.

Not too burst your Kiwi bubbles (:rollin)  but the Americans have run high 10 second quarters on stock ports and twins abit everything else was modified and running drag tyres and suspension setup.

Scotts is the UK record for twins, full weight, stock suspension

front mount n alloy rad
apexi fc ecu
uprated fuel pump and pressure regulator
twin apexi induction filters
race spec cold ass plugs
stock twins running non-sequential
blitz boost controller running to .85 bar
and a moster map by Colin De Treeby @ lindopmotorsport
running around 340 -350ish bhp :mmmm

yes mate, it was running that small intercooler and standard plugs, n radiator, it basically cooked its self to much, plug there fans were ****e. :2Confused Ive had a big front mount and alloy rad rad to keep the intake n engine temp down. the intercoolers made a masive difference. plus on the mod nats the clip on the pipe between the intercooler and the intake was nakered it was only boosting to .8 peak and dropping to around .77 so loooooooooost a bitta boost / power there. Doing a track day with the lads at the end of the month if you fancy a road trip. £130 for the day an were all camping that night.

Post by: gillard28 on September 05, 2008, 06:31:30 PM
Yeah i race Rotax on a gillard charlotte. Lots of fun but also takes up lots of time.
 
You dont need fancy port jobs. My time was set with road legal tires on stock wheels running 1.0 bar of boost. pump fuel with 50:50 AI. The car had various other parts but was a bone stock motor built by jimmys rx7 in norwich. It had a stock trany with a 1.5 kaaz diff.
 
I just used a bit a knowledge to get the power down.

ah ok cool mate! well glad you got stuff sorted!
 
i would love to mate but need to save the pennys at the mo as the car is coming back to you\'s for some more work ;)
Steve said i should have around 350 bhp at the fly but not to quote him on that! but i think i should get more then a extra 40 bhp from what i am going to get done!
 
also i see you are running non-sequential , you find that better than sequential?
