My MR2 - the dark destroyer

[Century Motorsport]

Absolutely f**kin' awesome Nath.

Now ffs, stop it!! Dave's not mapping mine until Feb 5th, and I'm like a nervous wreck now!

Pack it in with the vids.

EarL.

LMAO!! You love it!!

Ill be waiting with baited breath to see your vids when your all mapped! Bet you cant wait - looking forward to seeing damn good results from your beast

The 2 went for a remap today @ perfect touch resulting in 510WHP @ 8k

Not sure on the math but its circa 570-580 @ flywheel running 2.15 bar boost

Car is an animal to drive........ now where's that drag strip...

Nathan

Great numbers bud

Big power all the way to the redline! You got pics of the curves?

Now get in them 10's

Awesome matey.

Your free by all means to discard or utilise this advice, but id be careful of a lagged manifold on a turbo car, we've seen 3 or 4 cars at the coombe saloon champ series melt their turbos due to lagged manifolds and or turbine housings.

Anymore on this? as ive just had my turbine housing coated and was planning on wrapping my manifold?

2.15 bar?!

After a run ill have tears coming out of my eyes ...what torque are u pushing?

[Century Motorsport]

Sorry i dont have any graphs as we were having traction problems with the dyno so they wouldnt print one off - shame really!!

Torque is 370 @ wheels - lower than expected but still plenty to go around!

Nathan

[EarL]

Excellent figures Nath. Bet you're well chuffed mate.

2.15 bar? What sort of map sensor are you running?

You told me Thursday nath!

Really wanted to see this

No probs mate

Oh shizen!

So sorry mate, i had to change to wed at last min - i thought i had told you..... sorry, my mistake.

Prob best you didnt see it - as an oil leak spoilt the fun and thats what caused the traction problem at the end.

Earl, i have a 3 bar map sensor but could not get it running so we tested the std one and amazingly we were still getting voltage @ 2.1bar so we caried on with that. Not sure why the 3bar one never worked though...... will be definately needed for when i go for 2.5 bar !!! lol

A vid for you........ although revs were cut back because of wheel spin so not a true testiment

Nath,

The reason the 3 bar map sensor isn't working is because anything past 2 bar, and the map sensor is just guessing. The sensor only see's the positive pressure above that of atmospheric (1 bar), so a 3 bar is needed for 2 bar of boost, and so on. To run above 2 bar of boost, you'll need a 4 bar map sensor.

This was one of the things I was discussing with Dave Rowe when he mapped my car.

I've got no expaination as to why the stock one is working!

Cheers for the post Earl - thats food for thought but that wasnt the problem.

We couldnt actually get the car to run with the 3 bar map sensor at all - well, not properly anyway so after over an hour of changing settings we just reverted back to the std one as the bill was getting bigger by the second (and dont i know it now!)

Thanks,

Nathan

No worries mate

Next time

[Century Motorsport]

got tje new wheels on yesterday -







one with the modified screamer.....



how much boost?!?



Dropping the motor in a few weeks to fix the oil leak and maybe get the head off to get some big valves and a nice port job - money pending.....

nath watching ur 0-100 vid i timed a very rough figure of just over 8 secs seems very quick mint motor mate keep up the good work

am i right in saying you were going down the 1/4 in 12.8s with following mods

techniclutch 400lft
mongoose exhaust
downpipe
std ct20b set to 1.1 on mbc
hks intercooler

if so thats a very impressive time indeed

Hi Skipp,

Yes thats right on the 12.8 times - the ic was doing a good job that day it seems!

Nathan

[Quigonjay]

gorgeous wheels, what are they?

[Century Motorsport]

They are aren't they!! And you wont believe it when i say team dynamics...........


The driftz model. My prefered choice was advans but cost is a factor and i have an account with team dynamic so it made sense - plus when i got them i was amazed with the quality and look. Totally transformed the look of the car!!

Nathan

[Century Motorsport]
