Nice one Vince :cool: and 428.6bhp without Nos at 1bar :cool:

 

Glad it all came together and worked out ok mate,one week on a downer the next week on an upper,thats Z ownership i suppose :D See you at Billing :)

oooops forgot to mention 430lb torque too !!!

Excellant result. Wish I had the money to get to this sort of power.

nice result :)

Guys I think we are forgetting a the major contributor to this BHP monster and that is John Dixon!!

 

....and there's me thinking that it was a 100shot of Nos :rofl:.

 

JD chip me up (once I get my tubs and injectors in ;) )

Stu, I run a JD chip and it sorted out the fuelling lovely on my zed (just to get thicker gaskets now :))

Nice one Vinz!

I'm hoping for something similar with mine - I think I've got the same spec but no NOS.

Which hybrid turbos are they Vinz?

I've got true T28's from SE on mine.

Does anybody know what sort of 0-60 & 1/4 mile times you can expect in a 500bhp manual Z and what sort of top speed could you expect on a private motorway ;)

Is 500bhp enough to redline it in 5th?

Try this link http://www.escort-us.com/1-4ET.htm enter your car weight in lb (about 3615lb) 1/4 mile is 11.87 with 500bhp at flywheel. Esitmates only.

 

As for redline in 5th, it is possible to do it with 325bhp at wheels, trust me on that ;)

Cooool! :D

Yeah, it seems as though JD chips are the way to go :dance:

Will have to invest I think :D

Can we even put Andy E the 600zx in there cos for one where is it and is it proven?? the last i heard it had several engine rebuilds and kept blowing up so unless someone says otherwise looks like vinz has the most powerful...at the moment!!

I was thinking that.

It's one of the cars that encouraged me to get my kit fitted etc but since seeing photo's of it about 4 years ago, I've never seen or heard of it since! :rolleyes:

530HP :shock: what can I say except... :bow:

His maps consistently chuck out the highest BHP zeds in the UK!!

 

Congrats to Vinz!!

 

You're not wrong mate! :D Good to have a Zed expert, who also happens to be a top bloke, on the forum! ;)

Wasn't Steve E's up there somewhere too. Seem to remember it being in CCC which wasn't a mag that believed crap bhp figures.

I think Steve E was just under 500 hp at the crank

Last time I heard he was chucking out just over 400 at the wheels, but that was on a dodgy JWT 555 chip and a ropey piston!
