essbeee

bit late but its still 2014 .... Shaftesbury

Hi William... Welcome to the club ....oh and hello GregT :)

Phone building control at your local council and they will be able to tell you exactly how far you need to be away from the vents

Nice one Bob really good to meet you and have a chat ... Remember if you need any help give me a call

Not good think tps is fooked :(

Thanks for the big up guys hopefully see some of up here one day

Tony Marsh Memorial Weekend, June 23rd & 24th At a glance What: The Bridge Tyres & Wheels ASWMC Hillclimb Championship, the Hamilton Classics ACSMC Hillclimb Championship and the Midland Speed Championship on Saturday. The Gates of Brockenhurst Gurston Down Hillclimb Championship and Top Ten Challenge on Sunday. The National Hill Climb Association Motorbikes on both days. When: Saturday June 23rd and Sunday June 24th. Practice from 08:30, competition from approx. 13:00 both days. Where: 1 mile west of Broad Chalke, 9 miles SW of Salisbury, Wiltshire. Turn off the A354 at Coombe Bissett on the unclassified road to Broad Chalke, follow RAC signs. Post code/Sat Nav ref: SP5 5HR Cost: £6.00 on Saturday, £10.00 on Sunday, accompanied under 14s free, free parking. QUIZ IN THE RESTAURANT ON SATURDAY EVENING. £2 PER ENTRY IN AID OF THE TONY MARSH MARSHALS’ FUND. In brief Another great weekend of speed hillclimbing will take place at Gurston Down on June 23rd and 24th with two separate events to enjoy on Saturday and Sunday, all in fond memory of Gurston course co-designer, multiple British Hillclimb Champion, Grand Prix driver and all-round top sportsman Tony Marsh, who died in 2009. Saturday’s four-wheeled entry ranges from Austin 7s through all the usual production based classes, to an eclectic selection of historic and sports libre machinery, and of course single seater racing cars. Sunday’s meeting has attracted a huge entry including big classes of MGs, Ferraris and Porsches, plus all the contenders in the Gates of Brockenhurst Gurston Down Hillclimb Championship, a very well supported 500 Owners Association racing car class featuring the kind of cars Sir Stirling Moss learned his trade in, plus all the top drivers in the fastest racing cars in the region contesting the Top Ten Challenge.

Shame it clashes with Gurston would have been nice to meet up.... hope you have a great day

That'll be me and my car then.... SHED!!!! I may take offence at that comment although the car is not pretty I think shed is a little strong... But after the wonderful people at Read performance played with it this week and put another 30 bhp and 33 lbs of torque 2 new rear tyres and new BC coil overs corner weighted and balanced the "shed" is more than ready for the plastic roller skate this weekend ..... Pssst TOP SECRET stealth attack mode of course ;)

Yes close... And only running on actuator pressure at the moment .. Going in for a 12psi remap before the next meeting

Thanks Steve we had a great weekend and I'm flying the Datsun/Nissan flag as Bens 240 is in the garage managed to take a second place behind the infamous TVR but only eight hundredths of a second in it..... So if anyone has a spare £1200 for a set of Avon slicks give me a shout :)

Copied from Robos pages We are currently creating content for this section. The jury is still out on this mod as to whether or not it really helps. Until this mod is tested on a dyno the results are unproven. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_14950/DIR_182763/TB~butterfly~flange.JPG This is a schematic drawing, not to scale, looking down the barrel of either one of the two throttle bodies with the intake hose removed. Both pics represent wide open throttle (WOT). The two diagrams represent before and after the mod described below. The idea is to present a smaller surface area of the butterfly flange to the rush of incoming air at WOT, which presumably will allow for better flow. The red circle is the cross sectional area of the TB. The black line is the outer edge of the butterfly flange. The blue line represents both the diameter of the TB and the "long axis" of the ellipse that is the butterfly flange at WOT. The short vertical grey line is the short axis of the ellipse, and is the only variable in our equations. When the round butterfly flange is opened or tilted, the shape of its surface presented to the incoming atmospheric air changes from a circle to an an ellipse. At WOT, the "flattest" possible ellipse should be presented to the incoming air for maximum flow. By bending the metal tab in the pic out of the way, the butterfly flanges open further, decreasing the length of the short axis of the ellipse. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_14950/DIR_182763/centerTBclosedbeforemod.JPG Surface area (SA) of a circle, in this case, our TB's without the butterfly, = Pi ®squared SA of the ellipse formed by the open butterfly flanges = Pi x (long axis x short axis) At WOT, TB SA = (TB opening surface area) – (butterfly flange surface area). If we designate x to be the TB SA after the mod, and y the TB SA before the mod, then x - y = z, with z being the additional SA gained for air flow in one throttle body after the mod. z/y X 100 = percent SA gained after the mod. The difference is significant. This difference is even more striking if one realizes that flow does not have a linear relationship to the size of the pipe. Poiseuille's equation states that flow through a pipe is inversely related to the FOURTH power of the radius. Therefore, small decreases in the radius of the blocking butterfly flange should lead to proportionately much larger increases in flow. All measurements are for one throttle body only. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_14950/DIR_182763/drvrTBlnkgWOTbefore.JPG http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_14950/DIR_182763/passTBlnkgWOTbefore.JPG The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) located on the side of the throttle bodies. I have heard of more than on person who only got his TPS to calibrate within spec after this mod. There is also a possibility that this mod increases the voltage from the TPS to the ECU at WOT, which leads to a performance gain. Assumptions and potential errors for doing this mod include: 1) These are all theories that have not been tested or backed up in the lab or on a dyno. There is a rumor that Paul at Avalon Racing once showed a gain in horsepower with this mod. 2) Measurements of the butterfly flange were "eyeball" estimations, but the numbers were kept conservative in order to reduce any false positive benefit. 3) The throttle bodies are mounted at a slight downward angle to the intake plenum. This means that opening up the butterfly valve all the way as suggested above may not in fact be presenting the lowest possible surface area to the flow of incoming air. 4) Poiseuille’s equation was originally described for laminar liquid flow, then later applied to turbulent liquid flow. This example deals with turbulent gas flow which is somewhat of a stretch, but acceptable IMHO. 5) This still begs the question as to why the Nissan engineers would not design the butterfly flanges to fully open from the factory. 6) The effect on the TPS voltage also needs to be documented but is another possible source of a gain in performance from this mod.

sorry to hijack the post but I would be very interested in having a chat Ryan I'm only 15 min down the road at Wincanton and want to copy the boot lid in CF not done anything like it before

http://www.powerzed.com/contact/ Jimmers details .... the only place in the south to go

Valid I should say so at times we thought we were on the set for The Jeremy Kyle show

All standard apart from twin intake, larger Rad, hks blow offs and stainless exhaust...... Oh and a drive it like you stole it attitude :) shame we didn't get to meet up .... But then we could try and make one of the gurston hill climbs a meet one weekend

Yes that was me

Brakes ...... Arrrrg I hate spell check

Sorry you didn't make it.. Was a great day sunshine, track time and some interesting cars... Did manage to cook my breaks on the track though.... Really scary touching 130 on the straight the breaking for quarry and foot going straight to the floor thankfully third gear and huge pull on the hand break got me through :) nice to put some faces to names .... Saw a red vert on the way home with the AA !!!

Which route Rob I'm only up the road at Wincanton

Thanks for the spoiler arrived perfect today

Me.. :)

Tickets arrived thank you
