How much power!?

[Joel Kelly]

For those of you who haven\'t heard the full story:

I purchased a GT35/40 late last year, had it fitted to my 1995 Rex back in January and eventually had it mapped by Geff on CPL\'s rollers to run 14lbs in February. Car made 312 to the wheels on the stock motor and a rather suspect exhaust.

Unfortunately, the water seals perished shortly thereafter (car had already done 59,000 miles), so a rebuild was booked. Geff did a sterling job pulling out the motor and giving it a generous port. We also went for 1500 secondaries, a SX fpr (after the fse let us down) and a suitable manly mid-pipe.

Car was eventually mapped on Monday of this week back on Guy\'s dyno and ran to a magnificent 417rwhp! Maths isn\'t my strong point, but I think that equates to just under 510hp at the fly wheel. Car made this power on Optimax and at 0.8 bar. Simply put, it feels sensational!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank Geff and Chris, 20b_boy and Max Taylor for all their work on the car, enthusiasm and support. Cheers guys!

Exceptional power

I personally couldnt live with the wastegate like that - prefer to shift by ear - totally impossible with the W/G barfing like that!! Then again I hate the blow off valve too where lots of people love them

I\'m sad you\'re moving on Joel, you will be very much missed on a saturday - please dont be scared to bring the tonka toy down if/when u get it

All the best buddy,

Having been at CPL on monday, I\'d have to saythat this car really looked and sounded great.
To give you some idea of the noise - i had no idea where cpl was, but as i got close i could hear the car on one of its runs and it guided me in from about half a mile away!

Hi Si - were you the guy with the green car? sorry, didnt catch your name...

i spoke to geff about this car, and i must say i am most impressed, what a power increase from just rebuild and porting.  Especially at 0.8 bar.   Get it to 1.0 and take it to the strip you should whipp some serious ass.
well done geff.
