Latest Modifications
Well guys, it has been a while since my last updates due to other changes and distractions but the latest lot of modifications have finally been completed and the car was dyno tuned a couple of weeks ago.
Since the last time it has been on the dyno there has been a few changes. Here is a list of the major changes:
-Gearbox conversion (Ford C4 3 speed automatic)
-Custom built 8in torque convertor (Approx. 4000rpm stall)
-W2A intercooler (Bullet Intercooler Core, PWR Radiator, Meziere Pump)
-Plazmaman 85mm throttle body
-12psi supercharger pulley
Pre modifications, the car made 272.5rwkw, 550rwnm through the manual. Inlet temperatures sat around mid 70deg c in low 20deg c ambient temperatures. This was made with almost 10.5psi boost.
Post modifications, the car has coincidentally made 272.5rwkw again, but with 680rwnm and the power/torque coming in alot sooner now through the auto and large stall convertor. Inlet temps consistently sat around 58-60deg c in 31deg c ambient temperatures whilst on the dyno. The supercharger is now producing about 12.3psi boost.
Since being re-tuned, the car now feels ALOT more lively and responsive from the hit of throttle at any speed/rpm. Most noticeable though at lower city speeds where quite a bit of extra care needs to be taken in applying the throttle.
Seeing that the car had not been on the dyno after the gearbox conversion, you cant really get an idea of the true power gains from the added boost, intercooler and throttle body changes. But, I should be able to let you know the difference in quarter mile times once I return to the track.
Anyways, enough talking for now, below are a few pictures of the engine bay as it now sits today.
