Terrybullwon's Racing S2 coupe

I second the no gasket at all trick. Be careful of exhaust paste as I saw it destroy a turbine wheel.

The diff ramps are far to agressive for the wet, the car was lethal!

I had soooooooooo much under steer on throttle for corner exit.


I have a few odd jobs to do like sort the manifold and turbo hot side as its bolted not studded and keeps working its way loose

After driving in the wet I removed my front LSD. It was understeer from hell on corner exit if you not went for it big time and got the rear out, but I'm not a good enough driver to drive like that
No problem in he dry either without the front LSD so OK to remove it with my setup/car.

Tried using no gasket at all between turbo and manifold? If flat your OK with only a very very thin layer of exhaust sealer and then just bolt it solid together. I've done it like that and it has woorked OK for years. Just retighten the bolts/nuts after some use.

Went to Brands on the 3rd of this month for a timed test day with pretty much me and half the porche cup grid and quite a few ginetta's. It was pissing down and greasy as hell a few people went around in front of me into the gravel. The Miss fire i had at ADI went after i changed the internal data logger channel over. And i treated it to a new set of NGK racing plugs 30 laps in recommended by Jp they worked a treat

I came away from the day with a few lessons learnt.

The wets i have are ****ing useless it was like trying to piss in the wind.

DO NOT try and follow a Porsche down paddock hill corner in the wet it will only get messy and very side ways.

Lap times were fair for the Wet having never really driven it like a complete **** in the wet. Phill my Uni student that helps me was ill so i ended up alone it was bloody hard work.

Air jacks made my life alot less painful!

It's definitely the same, eBay has been flooded with them for years, 600x300x50mm core if I remember, and yes, very heavy, cast end tanks with bar and plate core.

Good to see your engine back together again.

Just a word of warning about that rad on the saloon, its the same bar and plate rad I used to run in the golf, anyway long story short, after a back to back tests it worked out 20% less efficient than a tube and fin rad of the same size core.

Keep up the good work.

I think you have too much money and too much time.

All times very interisting to see what great work you do.

Exact opposite no free time and i have no money!

After ADI i had found a issue in the software i had a few numbers crossed up in the internal data logger and after i let off the throttle above 7500rpm the motor was going to complete missfire and would clear and not come back once restarted untill again full load and lift off.

Thanks to Andy P for helping me try and problem solve it!

I was going to Brands this Monday but waiting for the weather to come true and by then the day was full and now the weather looks like its going to be okay.

In the meanwhile i have another car to finish off for some one else with lots of nice parts and toys on. Building it for Club/Pro Time attack spec.
