Garrett GTX/GT35 is good Maybe go look at the ECU Register for turbos/results?

Winner will be announced this evening I have to do the final results and try and sort out a wooden spoon prize - apologies I'm out and about sorting something out which I hope will be a benefit to the club!

This was shown on BBC News/Breakfast a few weeks ago, was a great advert I thought

He looks like a hippy in that yellow. Is there anyway you can overclock hoovers?

We found that whilst Henry will happily hoover up vomit, he doesn't seem to work the day after.

One of these, sans that turbo http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/whifbitzproducts/turbokit/s366twinkit.jpg And a tie up between... This http://www.syvecs.com/images/pic02.jpg with this man (somehow this is the only image of him via google images) http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-ash2/41618_503522225_3056_n.jpg

Some rate this - depending if you're stock or not http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?225950-STORMFORCE-Car-Cover-Group-Buy-Discount-Code&highlight=stormforce

Cobra Misano seats with alcantara are good. They hold you very well I found and have an inflatable/adjustable lumbar F430 seats full leather are very nice too, saw some at my local breakers a while ago but hard to come by.

Give me that car! It was the black I was originally thinking of but kept searching for cosmic black for some reason. Do like that 430 black too tho

I always liked Cherenkov Blue, but that's not a black

BMW Frozen black?

My friend that does wrapping has looked and yep, we can't wrap a supra without a join. Unless you go for a very wide 3m x 9m at least roll (i think), which is not a normal size and will cost a fair chunk of cash. Still, we may be trying it sometime, so people will get to see!

Crazy prices! Don't expect it to last more than 3 years btw

I suspect I am getting turbo stall on my gt35 with my new manifold. I'm waiting to get a dry day and a friend with a windows laptop so I can run scal and get some logging data off to have a look at. Hopefully Ryan may have some time to look and analyse for is, he didn't mention any occurring when mapping at SRR last month. Only happening lower down, sub 4k rpm so far. You've seen my last dyno graph. Scott I do start making positive boost quite low down, this happens on either 1.0 bar low boost or 1.6 bar high boost where it hit 579bhp, torque was the more phenomenal gain for me. My dyno plot is over on the ecu register thread

Ok, alas under what I'd probably let mine go for, but if interested at all my updated spec is in my garage.

So what's your budget for a UK Auto?

HP or EMC? Not all array vendors have put their prices up yet. FC 15k drives haven't gone up for us yet. I still think online de-duplication with large SATA is going to keep cost/Gb down, or ramp up density tbh.

Have you actually checked if it's the GPU/CPU being the bottleneck Scott? Just asking as maybe worth checking you're not i/o bound - or if what you're doing is single-threaded (so then you're better off with highest clock speed rather than higher core count). But if it's GPU bound I'd agree the onboard with most core2duo boards was naff. Intel 3xxx series iirc. If you're i/o bound on a naff 4200/5400rpm laptop HDD you'd be better off spending 1/3 of your budget on an SSD. Edit : Just noted you're doing video editing. As said, check if your application is multhreaded. Hardly *any* video editing applications apart from pro ones take use of cuda or openGL easily and so get the CPU to perform better. As an example my 8-core MP @ 3.0Ghz does better than the later generation Xeons with double the threads, but at a far lower clock speed. Video editing is CPU and IO intensive if it can get the throughput, memory will only be a trouble if you're rendering and most likely a 64-bit app to be able to go over the 4Gb address limit.

I asked Santa, alas he didn't bring me either a stock or ridox front

Pics will be up tomorrow/wednesday, I can't remember I'll check for you chap. Replied Absz, your inbox is full.

Posting up a list of the parts I now have surplus to requirements, pics to follow (feel free to make me an offer on any parts) UK Spec 550cc Injectors + Fuel rail UK Spec resistor pack Greddy E-Manage Blue & Field Harness (out of an Auto) Greddy Profec-E01 Boost controller inc display & commander - plugs straight into an EMB / EMU Spare Greddy Profec Boost Solenoid - Will work on E-01 or B-spec Intake pipe & MAP sensor, bungs for EGR to route in. Downpipe with 4' V-Band fitment + Bung for sensor. Heatwrapped Exhaust Manifold with external wastegate + screamer (unsure of the make of the WG) Midpipe/decat Hardpiping from turbo to FMIC FMIC Rad hardpipe + 4 mikalor clamps - only need the silicone hosing to join Twin oil cooler kit, inc hoses, fittings + large oil filter (bought off a group buy on here years ago but never fitted) - brand new. Centre section of Whifbitz 3' Twinbox exhaust (slight scrape marks), flange was adjusted to fit the midpipe/decat, now changed manifold & midpipe so bought a new one

Surely a larger pad surface would mean greater heat (energy) dissipation than a smaller surface at the same pressure as a smaller pad? You have a larger friction surface pressing against the disc. Yes there's the ability of any given brake to overcome the rotating disk's inertia, vs the traction the tires allow for the brakes themselves to be effective, but larger pads, discs and more pistons to provide a more equal application of pressure over surface I thought would affect it too? Admittedly yes, tires and traction are the largest quantity for effective braking. Happy to be corrected if wrong, but as long as it's not a sudden stab at the brakes, I would've thought a larger caliper & pad and higher friction material would give better braking on the same wheel/tire setup.

Loving your work Rob

He could also have got information and misinterpreted via a google search from here just as you got it from there. iirc the only parts of this forum that aren't open to google is Member's Only section.

But to follow that logic, either can give a false positive - I've had gauges which misread, which make you worried. What's needed (imho) is a happy medium driven by the ECU - have it that you can have say, a warning threshold on water temp so if it exceeds it x times within a given interval you get the EML and a limp-mode, if you hit the next threshold you get engine cut. I agree, gauges can give you a nice context, but again, unless you have something light up like a christmas tree, gauges just distract you in everday usage. This only comes from my experience of monitoring performance of large estates of equipment (not cars) - it's fine having gauges and statistics coming out of your ears - unless you have a decent metric to measure against, or some automation to react then measuring any given value manually is not infallible. Heck, most logging data in the syvecs is more than we ever need, it's useful for diagnosis post-event for sure though - I'm hoping to get Scal up and running and read it a little bit. I'm going to do a nice thread writeup soon I'm now not sure what's more addictive a sound in my car - the wastegates/screamers, or the lovely TC sound that the Syvecs makes It's a la F1 TC.... lovely.
