Love these cars, they always suit the lairy look.

May have one of these at home from my recent single conversion. Will take a look.

Very nice looking car.

What car are you coming from?

Bloody hell that came on a long way in a short space of time. Looking good!

Not considering giving up the Supra are you?

YHPM No idea - I wasn't planning on getting it remapped there, just dyno'd. I'm curious what it's making and to see if it's actually 'down' on power, or if it's all in my head (and that Skyline is faster than he's letting on... although there's no reason he'd under-egg the power, I've known him a fair while.)

Yeah it's going in to be dyno'd this week, depending on what days I can get off work. I'll post up results once I know. It's odd - it felt like a decent amount of power when I got the car back, but then I had been without it for quite a while. Mechanically, it's smooth as butter. Boost comes on nice and early, holds it well, sounds beautiful... but all of that is no good if it doesn't actually move very fast

Ouch, glad to see you're taking it well, I'd have let out a few tears if I saw that!

Right, no boost leak confirmed. Went out for a few pulls with the laptop connected and got strong, stable boost. As for the rest of the numbers on the log file, they're largely meaningless to me. Time to get it on a dyno and see where it's letting up. I'm sure the 'oomph' is locked up there somewhere

I need to fire up the engine this evening to see what's up first - my primary concern is that I may have a boost leak at the moment. Like I said, I'm confident with the mapper, but if a re-map is what it needs to get the power down properly, then a re-map it shall have It doesn't feel like power ever drops off a cliff, it seems to hold it well, which is why I'm slightly iffy with the boost leak, it just doesn't actually accelerate as fast as it should. I'd ideally like to get an idea of what's up before I give the garage that built it a call, as he's a bit far away and it's unfair to expect any kind of diagnosis over the phone.

Spoke to Marlin Motor Engineering this morning - they're still about!

I saw their website but it's had no activity since 2013 - going to give them a call today now I know they still exist!

Can't see PM - Inbox may have been full, just cleared it out. I have no idea what it's making currently beyond what the ECU estimated - and I've got full confidence with the gent that mapped it. I have a feeling it may be a spot of boost leak, as I just checked the peak on my gauge and it's showing just below 1 bar, when it's set to 1.2, just didn't want to fire the engine up at this time of night and poke my head around to take a look. (Defi gauge, hence me not being 100% confident that it's right.)

That's quite a bit more than I thought they took. I was planning to take a look over DavidPs autobox guide once I've recovered from the initial build, then go ahead and ask for the boost to be raised. But still, I'd like to get it dyno'd properly and see what it's making

It's a Link G4 Storm that was mapped by Lyndon - we've got some gearbox coolers on there, but it was to preserve the box. Still, even at 1.2 bar, it should've shown the Skyline the tail-lights. It's hard to tell when I don't drive it terribly regularly if it's a bit down on power. Plan was to get the gearbox re-shimmed etc. and dial it up to 1.4 at some point in the future. Still running stock cams, mind, though I wouldn't imagine that'd be causing my issues either. Don't get me wrong, it feels fast, but this just got me a bit worried

We got an estimate from the ECU, but not an actual dyno reading (road map). Yes, it has all of the necessary mods, freshly built, rebuilt head, 800cc SARD injectors, Whifbitz manifold, turbosmart WGs, set to 1.2 bar of boost, there shouldn't be anything slowing it down at all. ECU estimate (if my memory serves correctly) was 474 to the wheels.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a rolling road in/around Bucks (or even better, Milton Keynes)? Wasn't able to shake an R32 GTST (Pretty much stock) with S362 single setup and worried something is a bit wrong!

Got any pics?

Bravo, bravo

Definitely think the silver looks classier than the white, although it doesn't look bad in any colour. That said, if I were buying a Ferrari, I'd want it in yellow. Not sure why.

Oi!

You got me
