Just got off the phone to Spen and the car won't be picked up till the 9th April now
 There has been a delay with mine and FatBoy's P1's due to some extra work required on some inconsiderate git's car... *cough* Coalville *cough*  But on the plus side, i have just declared everything with the rebuild and turbo and exhaust and suspension etc etc etc to my Insurance companu and guess how much it went up? £59.00 Good old Greenlight, they are just Brilliant! I have however, just bought me some BC Racing Coilovers to give them something to do with all this extra time they now have on their hands

Thats a bugger about the delay mate.
But blinding news with the insurance. And also cracking stuff with the coil overs.

Latest pics from Spenbot himself… FMIC pipes etc all removed and engine is now out and heads will be with Nick @ Advanced Automotive later this morning.
I feel quite traumatised seeing my poor baby being ripped apart  But progress is being made

Went up to CPA again today to fit a stereo and some harnesses and see how things are going...
Ended up adding more things on my list! Dam spen and his smooth talking  Got to meet Nick properly today as well as he popped down which was great had a good chat about my build and other bits and bobs. Just a few random snaps i took through the day...     Quick lunch time snack...  And looms as though Spence has had to up his security...

The car is awesome!!! loads of attention to detail taken on the engine bay that you wouldn't get elsewhere. As a bonus, spencer suprised me with parallel fuel rails and system fuel filter with all the braided fixings
i'm still noticing little touches now... CPA really do know how to build an engine And oh my god the sound... the sound is AWESOME!!! The flutter you get coming boost gives me a constant semi and i'm only taking it to 0.5bar so far  god know what its going to sound like at almost 2bar! the next two weeks really can't go quick enough.So i got to CPA at about 10.30, and checked out the work they'd done, after much drooling i had to go get some tax for it so i was off into town with a fresh MOT certificate. returned and gave it a wash ready for bob's arrival. bo arrived about 3pm and get strait to work settig up his kit, and off we went. got onto the ring road and checked the fuelling etc and all was fine and dandy. Had a scary moment though when my actuator pressure hit 1.4bar before bob yell'd STOP!!  Someone has wound up the actuator i believe as i should have only got about 1.0bar! Mapping went very well though and Bob really did seem impressed with the overall standard of their work.Then off i went home on the motorway getting funny looks as i was crawling at 50, then accerating up to 70 then back to 50 again for almost 140 miles on boost off boost on boost off boost change gear change gear, it was hard work! Here's some pics of the engine, i will get some better ones when i have the sun on my side. ROLL on 23rd with LC, ALS, and 450bhp!

Looked an absolute gem in the flesh. Was great to see you and the car yesterday at Brands.
So, you have Bob Rawle doing your mapping then? He's a good lad our Bob. You'll have a good safe map with Bob

Went back to CPA on Friday for the Grand Finale!
Last minute purchase with the Systec 290ltr Motorsport pump just to be sure. I feel a Bosch044 but hey ho you lives and you learns! Didn’t go quite as planned, the pump and injectors were delivered to my home address instead of work so no one was there to sign for them. Meant to leave at 05.30 for Bristol to avoid rush hour and get some breakfast on the way but the parcel ended up back at the PO Depot. So I had to drive over there and wait till 7am to pick the parcel up and then got stuck in the morning rush hour, got to CPA about 2 hours later than planned (and still hungry) and they got cracking right away. Trumpet would not fit do had to use the MAF tube and block off the MAF port and remove the gauze for now. Injectors in and fuel pump in and after a quick road test I was on my way to Bob’s an hour later than planned. Then got pulled over by undercover police and warned about my number plates and given a producer! Then got to Bob’s about an hour and a half late, therefore didn’t have time to set up the LC or the ALS and the loom for the Wideband sensor had not arrived so no wideband just yet either! But got the Cal switch in and got the main map done which was priority number 1. The car pulls really hard right into the red! Loads or torque and definitely feels mid 400bhp-ish. Boost is 1.85bar dropping slightly top end to 1.7bar and sounds AWESOME coming off boost!!! I was going to take a vid but I wanted to do one with the ALS and LC on really… The clutch slipped a smidge on one of the final in 4th runs but hasn’t slipped since so I’m hoping it will be OK to get a readout on the rollers in 3rd. Bob confirmed the engine was running beautifully and performing very well indeed. Rolling road is on Saturday so time will tell! Will be going back to Bob ASAP to the ALS and LC set up and finish the wideband control.

 I'm sure it will be worth it thou! What probs did you have fitting the trumpet as I have got the same one! I'm not copying you just seems that we have got a lot of the same parts

Today wasn't a great day to bring closure to the project.
For some reason i wasn't holding boost properly and only achieved just under 1.7bar peak and dropped off to 1.6 post 5k. It pulls really hard but the power tails right off when the boost drops which is probably why it feels mid 400's when it comes on boost and its pulling but the figures were not showing at the top end as it lost boost. Charlie said he can feel it pulling hard on the rollers when the boost comes in and the first run it started jumping the rollers so we had to strap it down harder! Only made 408.6bhp and 390ft/lb, and we know it can do alot more than that. Possibly BCS, possibly MAP sensor, possibly Actuator? Will be investigating to see what can be done. Fueling seemed a bit rich but the Wideband control is on the way so will worry about fuelling after that. Anyway a few pics and a vid of the day as it was...

Mate 400bhp atw isnt to be sniffed at. In a classic it will be bolistic.

sounds like actuator or a small boost leak.

Boost control drops slightly yes, but it's quite stable so it may be that the duty it set fine for the road but under-achieves on the rollers. if it was a BCS issue I would expect to see more oscillation on the graph.
Does it read the same boost out on the road. If the boost control on the road only just achieves the mapped desidered boost, then on the rollers, where the induced load is slightly less it will under-achieve. Not sure how good the syvecs is on boost control, but the OE ECU has a level of learning i.e if it doesn't achieve target boost it will add or take away a % (within the mapped limits) in order to achieve target. The fuelling also looks OK, you don't want it reading much leaner then that on Charlies rollers, most on his RR read under 11 AFR but read leaner i.e 11.2/11.3 out on the road. TBH looks like a Bob map...nice and safe.... FYI Mine reads bang on 11.2AFR on the road but on charlies the plot was similar to yours.

Agree with above.
400 in a classic is an achievement and I believe is a great balance for a P1. Chin up you

Sorry to hear things didn't go as you quite wanted them mate.
I'm sure it'll all step into line with a little tinkering. Keep the faith mate, you'll get there

Just got back from Bob's with another successful mapping session
Plan was to play with the wastegate duties and up to boost to nearer 2.0bar and hit 450-460bhp, finish with wideband fuel control install and setup and finish the ALS and LC. But i told bob to leave the WG duties alone as the car is fast enough as it is, and i needed to preserve my gearbox! very hard for me to say as i've very greedy with the figures lol but definately the right choice. The ALS and LC is awesome, i've set them up as below: CAL 1: Normal CAL 2: Normal + ALS CAL 3: Normal + LC CAL 4: Normal + LC + ALS CAL 5: Normal + LC + ALS + 330rpm CAL 6: Normal + LC + ALS + 660rpm CAL 7: Normal + LC + ALS + 990rpm CAL 8: Valet mode 3k rpm limit The ALS really does make a difference to the pulling force through the gears, its very impressive. I umm'd and arr's about whether to launch on the standard box but i soon found myself engaging 1st with the Lc and ALS on and went for it. It was like a rocket! i'm very used to my car and it doesn't give me many suprises but it was really shocked how fast it took off! The LC is so loud too, it sounds like an airstrike! Will got some vids up as soon as i get some more petrol LOL

I miss updating this so I was trying to find an update… lol
Ah yes! Clutch line split! Decided to go just as I was queuing up to the exhibitors gate at Modified Live this year! Wasn’t impressed  But having seen a recent Bear Grylls documentary I was inspired to fix the problem with what ever I could find… I managed to conjure up 2 zip ties, some double sided tape, some gaffa tape, some insulation tape, a jubilee clip and some sticks and wild berries which I used to make a screwdriver. First double sided tape, then insulation, then gaffa, then jubilee then the zip ties… then a quick pressure adjustment on the jubilee clip to get the pedal feel just right and the job was a good’un!   Felt good as new and got me from Brands Hatch to home a few junctions away and then from home to Bristol with no dramas! It made me feel real manly like  Got to Bristol to see Spencer and the gang and had a trick braided version fitted in replacement   Still saving for gearbox and clutch
