That turbo was made to give more.

Is it a street port?

I'd say you need another 5 psi just too make sure you have enough

So, my two penneth, if Clive's is running the power as shown in the graph, what's Phil's running ?? That FD pulled away on the straight with far more torque and power. Even with the concertina effect (one pulling out of corner whilst one is still in the corner), similar powered cars would hold position. Phil's romped away which suggests these are not similarly powered.

Ahh Chris it's because FD's are faster than rx8,s its just fact lol.

  well spoken

One of the reason why I believe clive needs more boost if the cars are the same weight, (I would say the rx8 is heavier, even with Clive's thorough diet)
And have the same hp (which they probs don't) the rx8 is better in the corners? So in the racing series how do they control all the cars to be competive without people having multiple "maps" via a switch to use during the racing to simply win or over take just because they want to win.

For example, I know that there are bolt on twin turbo kits for 370Zs, of which make nigh on close too 700hp.....

Its those 2 extra doors...mess the bhp per tonne up. Painting them red should speed it up a bit...

Or vinyl wrap the with a carbon wrap. Will make them proper light weight then!

helium in the tyres brings down the unsprung weight......
on a serious note once new rubber on and Clive can get on gas on corner exit and the ol racers edge comes into play....
looking at some of Clives other onboards he was defo very reserved in the corners in this vid as hes usually hitting the kerbs.

Clive did look to be just having a leasurely drive

Got the answer, obviously if I paint the two letters saying FD, that should sort it

Yep that should do it. Legs, toes fingers, arms all crossed for you for Snetterton.

Jon's right, I do like to "run the kerbs" but with the lack of rear end grip I was just out for a Sunday Drive on a Saturday 

p.s. because of my love of kerbs, when building the car, I fitted new Mazda suspension arms to give me less chance of busting a ball joint on em

Reminded me gotta watch the kerbs when you come to Combe with the new track limits rules for penalties...when i watch on tsl they handed out quite a few 5 sec penalties last year....mainly the chicanes where its easy to cut.
