Santapod today, last fours runs before a motorbike shit its guts and they cleared up for an hour:

1.661 60ft, 11.372 at 124.67mph
1.664 60ft, 11.119 at 127.16mph
1.730 60ft, 11.223 at 128.95mph
2.014 60ft, 11.516 at 130.07mph

Cleaned up, let about 6 cars thru and then it rained. We hung about for the next 2.5hrs hoping it would stop as Tim and Geff\'s cars were ready to go just before the xmas tree. It just kept at a fine drizzle, we went home.

Geff\'s driving inconsistencies were in evidence again, 130mph and still no 10!!

The best part for me was watching the terminal speeds go up - and cracking 130mph! - thats got to present a fair bit of power I think....and the engine still feels good - some acheivement considering its now done a few thousand miles and I dunno how many dyno and 1/4 mile runs

Dont update the table just yet Glenn

it is well in excess of a 100 dyno runs.    Really well done geff.  Now you need to let the dyno guy have a drive, he will probably get low 10\'s if he manages anything like he did at R/S.  Good work though.

I know you guys measure by 1/4 mile times but what sort of bhp we talking to hit 11.1secs?

[J4P RX]

BHP translates to the terminals and not the times really.  130 is pretty good going, but I dont know how much power that is in an FD.

[g11ary]

Im as guilty as the rest, but its not always down to bhp, there was a vid somewhere last year in usa guy hitting 10 sec in a 400 bhp car, very experienced driver, generally though 500 bhp I would guess for an 11 sec car, maybe a little more for 10 sec\'s.

A good driver in yours with 460 should be able to break into 11 sec.

[gsb876]

Yea getting used to the twin plate clutch nicely now so we\'ll see?

[mattmaclennan]

maybe a little more for 10 sec\'s.

Maybe a LOT more. Jeff wound that 51r to over 2 bar! Do the math Bill

[John Yorke]

The 11.119 is an awesome time for an fd in \'road \' form there were a number of out and out drag cars there \'testing\' running 10sec passes - when you look at what they do to achieve those times it puts it into perspective:D
Geff was running 508atw @ 1.4bar on wednesday, I think that makes it the fastest and most powerfull:D in the UK - well done Geff, I think the 10sec will be yours on Sunday:wave  weather permiting:cool

Now now Pops, dont exaggerate! it was 506 wasnt it? and closer to 1.5bar?

That engine/turbo loves boost.

Dyno run at 2bar+ soon - see you there Mr Dyno-junky!!

[gsb876]

506 @ 1.5bar

Puts it in perspective!!!:eek:

[John Yorke]

Oh err, sooo sorry:D carried away with the sight of Geffs launch:bandit put it another way FWHP equates to 597:p  cant wait to confirm - witness a 2 bar run, hopefully mine re-mapped at the same time:cool

Well done to both Geff and Guy!
That is an awesome time and speed.

Kind regards
