My little project - IS200 Turbo - lexynik - 26-02-2018
sounds like its going to deliver exactly the power and driveability you were after steve-well done for design thought and of course patience - its nice when a plan works out in the end-what a relief it will be for you when you get back behind the wheel of it - its got to feel like a brand new car with the improvements you have made all round

lexynik its nice when a plan works out in the end
As Hanabial from the A-Team used to say: "I love it when a plan comes together"
What can I say, I grew up in the 80's

Well done Steve !
You must be happier than a dog with two tails !!
Can't wait to see this next week at Ace Cafe !!!!

Been following this one since I signed up, great to see you're finally getting your mitts on it!

WooHoo nice one Steve, I am so pleased it has passed the final hurdle and is onto the final mop up, the figures are nice, especially getting the same torque as bhp you will enjoy that :thumbup:

Thanks for all the nice comments guys :biggrin:
Noble apparently had some sort of problem with their printer (?) so they were emailing the dyno graphs to Charlesworth, so they can give them to me. I will post them up as soon as I get them. I'm still also planning to take the car to Surrey Rolling Road to dyno it there, particularly because I've got graphs from there (without turbo of course) which I can compare it to.

Well I dont think the figures are all that important.
All that matters is how good it is to drive
moke: and YOU are happy with it

Well said. Figures are great for showing off, but its all about how well it drives.

2tongues Well said. Figures are great for showing off, but its all about how well it drives.
Yes it always seems to be about "well I've got 400 bhp " Yes but I've got 600 bhp " who cares !!!
Mine drives so nice , so get that up you :Chair::Chair::Chair:
My little project - IS200 Turbo - steviewevie - 27-02-2018
Yep, totally agree with you guys, I've always said I'm not really bothered about the top-end figure, since after all who drives their car on the road revving it to the red line ? I've always said I'm interested in driveability, and from speaking to Simon who has driven my car, it sounds like they've delivered what I wanted.
I am still interested in the dyno graphs, but perhaps more to see the shape of the power and torque curves, and the fuelling info. Not for showing off how much bhp I have.
I'm especially pleased about the torque figure actually, if that's correct (250 lb/ft), then that's a massive increase over stock, even more so than the bhp increase :biggrin:
