would love to say i was doing it to wind you all up... out of lazyness and how bloody tired i am.. body and off the car. I just couldnt be bothered to get it all out n photo it all. So here it is. 150 bhp. sorted.
 
need to do finishing touches on the car tomorrow. sorry about the **** updating over the last few days. no sleep. lots of work.. pain in the arse.
 
Glad its now up and running Chris, its a great car which looks mean as, hope it does you well sir! See you at jae and give us a spin :) doing your tracking moth the underseal on there made me filthy lol
 
fab work & result chris :cool:

I think there needs to be a dyno graph gallery thread for anyone who's been on surrey rolling road (from same dyno to maintain consistent results) to compare and assess graphs against various setup configurations.

yours is a smaller faster spooling turbo than mine ain't it?

just a quick comparison with my forged piston / turbo setup: http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-26#post-456606
  • yours reach 10psi boost threshold by 3k but begins to dip at 5k while mine originally took till 3.9k but maintained that boost (although i think my recent boost controller has lowered it down to 3k by keeping the WG shut longer)
  • the front incline of your torque curve is bout 500rpm ahead of mine
  • you have a very broad peak torque range from 3.5 to 5k (torquey low end good for daily driving) whereas mine is a narrow but higher 4.5k to 5.2k
  • you reach peak bhp at 6.2k while mine peaks at 6.7k
conclusion you have a very torquey low end, good daily drivability setup while mine is more suited for a peaky rev-its-nuts-off high speed track use

could u scan you graphs and we could overlay each others graph curve more accurately?
 
Wow! Awesome work Chris!!!
So excited to see it in oxford! Do you start on the 23rd? You're in Wheatley right? I'll be looking for it in the car park.
Have fun at JAE brother!!
Well done :)
 
Yeah she wasn't good all weekend tbh. The cold gets to her. How was Celina and yourself. Get home fast.?

Was good to finally meet you Chris :)
Hopefully it'll be bigger and badder next year :) i almost followed you home due to cold except I stayed and ended getting kicked off for playing in the field
 
Pleasure to meet you :D sorry I didn't get the chance to say good bye might have slightly fallen asleep :oops:

Thankyou for taking me out in you car it's so totally fricken awesome! :p
Time well spent you've done an amazing job :)

Take care of yourself!

See you soon

Lots of love Chloe :D xxxx
 
So last night I may have gotten distracted on the way home... 30 miles in the wrong direction... Played with a Porsche carrera , new golf gti, BMWs of various sizes. Many of the cases I could reach top speed with them beside me just lost them once I ran out of gearbox. Found my self in Slough. Had a rather meaty sounding BMW fall victim again from the lights. Great night. Nice to see you again Ed. BTW when I joke about killing you if you put stickers on my car. It's in no reference to your brand. I just think stickers are the devils work. Make a stencil and spray one on.

Oh sorry andy I didn't see that post. That's a lie I was just ignoring you. I think the car will be un touched for the most of next year to be honest andy. More important uni work to be done. Was nice to meet you also. Soon we shall cause havoc again.

No it's okay you don't love Sophia and I. We see how it is. To be fair we left at silly o clock we were cold and wet. We let the side down. It was a good call though tbh. Bed and warm showers were amazing.

Why thank you on the car side. Is a bit silly indeed. Hope to see you both soon xxx

I just hate stickers. I would much rather nothing occurs on the car but if I was going to do it I would probs stencil and spray. Lol no Ed leave my car alone

yes alot happier but still want more things to be done. I have even gone to the trouble of turning all updates from the msc off. I will be shutting down for a while hopefully. I think I will give myself an award.. if I get a 1st honours in my degree I am allowed to get the micra pushed to 200 odd hp without forging.
 
So... I have done nothing with the car. For a couple of days. It's going to be left there ... So happy to have to not goo near it for a while. Driving the daily is a pleasure and does not want to kill me every chance it gets. Plus fuel Eco is great. Enjoying chilling ATM.
