Well I finally got around to getting the cortina on the dyno yesterday :mrgreen: 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 :ykt: 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 :lol:

 

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!

The graph shoots up when the clutch gives up!

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

 

:lol:

Nice one Lee. Do like this car. :thumbsup:

 

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! :thumbsup:

 

Great stuff :thumbsup:

Nice mate :thumbsup: Good shaped graph too - not too straight up!

 

I figured it had to have about 450hp to be quicker than mine! :mrgreen:

 

I wonder what the extra boost will bring.......? Time travel? :P:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers peeps!! The cars feeling much love :mrgreen:

 

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" :lol:

 

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 :mrgreen::ykt:

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 :lol: as if!!

 

More boost will not bring warp travel unfortunately but it will bring more torque :mrgreen:

 

Gt-lenny: 11.5 at 119mph so far mate, maybe il better it with some better tyres and more boost?!
