All finished, hopefully I'll pick it up next week

Always surprises me that we all fit different or larger induction kits but then when going large power revert back to the standard parts. Or is that a standard looking intake which has been modified but just looks stock?

Have a look for our event at Cosford, September 21st, be good to have a look at it now it's done.

I ordered tickets last week for the Cosford event

Intake is a PPH 90mm version stock is only 78mm I think, airbox is modded to fitted the much bigger pipe. After the failure of my carbon intake I went with aluminium

We'll see you there then!

Knew you had the carbon one, which is why I was wondering why the change but makes sense.

To be honest unless going for big big power like Andy has done here nearly all stock OE intakes perform better than after market intakes, nearly all the aftermarket stuff is a big con and the original equipment intakes on all modern cars these days are pretty much proper cold air intakes and some are even cold air ram intakes, it is normally just better to remove any kind of pre-cat or emission filter and put in a high flow filter also for best power and also best drive ability.

Managed to get a spot at Vmax 200 yesterday to do some testing of the car, Best Vmax I got according to my Vbox was 187mph. Sadly I cannot use launch control i'd destroy my gearbox or cluch :mad:

I managed about 10 runs inbetween everyone crashing

ScoobyDoo69 · 15 Sep 2019 at 18:53

187mph, nice

I'll have a watch of the video later.

How is the car feeling after the huge boost of power?

Dangerous Dave · 15 Sep 2019 at 20:06

Was that a XJ220 in the other lane ? Still quick today if it was.

Exactly what I thought! That thing was rapid!

It's coping well it was really stable at high speeds and had zero issues with temps after back to back runs. The extra power is just highlighting issues with my gearbox, I cannot shift fast enough or launch the car without putting massive stress on the box.

It was indeed :eek:

there were a lot of really exotic cars there.

Malevolence · 16 Sep 2019 at 17:21

XJ220 is one of my all time favourite cars, and that video just goes to highlight the difference between a seriously quick car and a bat **** insane supercar.

What's the options there then? Continue to baby it a bit? Or planning gearbox upgrades in the future? I seem to remember you mentioning DSG retrofit?

Warranty_V0id · 25 Apr 2020 at 19:49

My new engine is almost complete

Appropriate username is appropriate.

I love a 5 cylinder

Bit the bullet and got a DSG box as well

Once you've seen the baby owls you cannot unsee them.

ScoobyDoo69 · 26 Apr 2020 at 10:56

Didn't realise you were having a new build, did the original go boom or just building a "hot spare" ?

It's going to be even quicker with DSG

My tuner is having 3 new engines built, so I'm just exchanging mine when all the bits are ready.

I was at the limit of the power my manual box could handle so with my DSG swap I can go for much more, just ordered upgraded clutch pack for my DSG box and a new turbo :eek:

What power was she at before and what are you aiming for now? Does it begin with a 7 or an 8?
