Interesting to see they do a swap for the 350z too, that would wake it up a bit :)

Hi stylus350 on FD had a aristo that we put a single on , can\'t remember which one but it worked well it was a truck turbo I think. Great motor and keeps another FD on the road and not broke for bits !! .

Took the steel prop off today , just in time I think



New carbon one fitted , it had flexed around the weld !! Not quite cracked but not far off had I tried more boost or stickier tyres it would have been in bits !! .




I need some better rear tyres I think the yokos are good but no better grip than the 285 rsrs , don\'t want to run 888s at £300 + each when they only last 1000 miles tops . Going to Greg @ Protuner soon to check the base 4 psi map and try 1bar if all goes well

Any further progress on this monster after the last dyno session?

Hi I had it on Greg\'s Dyno last year , ran it at 1 bar it made 1017 bhp and 980 ft lb , it drives very well real smooth and pull so hard !!! . Because I run boost against throttle angle it\'s not stupid to drive the more throttle the more boost/ power , but the clutch has been a pain and not being consistant and not bring able to get gears , I have been on to RAM clutches who made the clutch ( to be fair it\'s only rated to 850ftlb) it\'s wrapped the centre floating plate due to spinning at high rpm-boost . I have had new ceramic plates made for the clutch which they say will hold 1200 bhp , not had chance to fit it yet as been silly busy at work but hopefully next week !!

The ceramic should be good, more likely to eat through the flywheel before they wear. As it stopped breaking things then?
