ZetecTinaLee Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 Well I finally got around to getting the cortina on the dyno yesterday I was very supprised but as you can imagine very pleased with the results!! First we did a power run to see what the car was doing at its 1.7 bar of boost and then went on to cranking in a little more Unfortunately dew to some recent heavy driving the clutch couldnt take any more as youl see in the third graph, i had my suspicions the clutch wouldnt take much more Before i had the first oil pump failure and went over to drysump we reached 2.4 bar whilst out live mapping.. as you can imagine im keep to get another clutch in her and get back on the dyno to see what she can do! Its currently running an ap organic so its done well to do what its been doing! At the fly At the wheels The graph shoots up when the clutch gives up! Not a great run but you get the jist Thanks for looking
garyv6100e Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 Thats some impressive figures there, i bet you are well pleased
petrolhead Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Amazing, well done . Good to see that Horsepower being achieved with the usual same ol' Cosworth

2.1tony Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 that is fantastic mate well done have you shown mk1 gaz
Nick Mexi-cos Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 As per our chat Yesterday mate , nice power even on low boost , be good to see if cranked up a bit , Just a shame about the big round thing on the side of the engine
ZetecTinaLee Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 Cheer for the comment peeps! I'm well chuffed, I didn't think we was going to see those sort of figures untill the boost was cranked up... At least 2 bar anyway!! PETROLHEAD: it's not a ol Cosworth it's a Zetec NICK, lol the big round thing sucks people in off the streets... that's all that does.. Just can't wait for the 2. Something bar of boost to go through it
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 13, 2010 Admin Report Posted September 13, 2010 Lovely job Liam .... that power would scare the pants off me
ZetecTinaLee Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 Mk2Jo- it does me... every time I drive it!! Thats why I love it
jamie Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Nice one Lee. Do like this car. I bet you get some funny looks on the road with that much power..."look dear, I had a Cortina just like that", then you open up the power, see ya! Great stuff
Kasper Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Thats awesome! Very nice car, well done!
mr zefect Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Good results i love it nice to see a zetec making good power it almost makes me put a turbo on mine thats if i win the lottery.
willsy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 nice! All you need now are "WINGS"!!!!
GT_lenny Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 gooowaaaan the zetec power thats nuts , what's your best 1/4 mile so far liam? i can see one of them there turbines appearing in my mk2 in the future
Toby Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Nice mate Good shaped graph too - not too straight up! I figured it had to have about 450hp to be quicker than mine! I wonder what the extra boost will bring.......? Time travel?
ZetecTinaLee Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 Cheers peeps!! The cars feeling much love Jamie: everywhere the car goes thats all i get,it takes me half an hour to get into our local pub once ive pulled up in the carpark! Everyone wants to come out and look and thats peeps first comment " I used to have one of those or my dad had one of those" Ive been going down the local cruis the last couple of weeks and last thursday once I left I got to a long stretch of road where i found a young lad in a e46 m3 in front of me.. soon as he saw what was sitting behind him hes put pedal to the metal, obviously I followed suit and as I came on boost I shot past him like he was going backwards We got to a set of lights at the end where he wound down his window.. all he had to say was "thats f**king ridiculous" ha ha Love it!! Toby, lol you sorted yours out yet? Havent seen it for a while! Mine scared yours off or something as if!! More boost will not bring warp travel unfortunately but it will bring more torque Gt-lenny: 11.5 at 119mph so far mate, maybe il better it with some better tyres and more boost?!
