27C is quite substantial if it translates to inlet temperature drop (which it should). Apart from the extra power (potentially) due to increased oxygen mass, you don't need to be running as rich anymore due to no need for cooling the charge squirting excess fuel. More power indeed (after careful remapping!) Bliss:cool:

Very interesting project indeed. Free power eh:D

I'd steer clear of the Mistubishi, the engine is pointing the wrong way, flimsy 4x4, error-prone electrics -> big $$$

May i by 1 2?

PM sent - if you don't look in the right place it may be hard to find

Don't know if it's on the net, I recorded it a few months ago from Sky channel 200, it's an independent channel hosting all sorts of oddballs and nutcases (but are they?) It focuses on footage that made it to the media (some of it was retracted later on) showing the plane hitting the WTC having almost no passenger windows and the strange undercarriage that looks like a fuel tank or bomb - it lights up at that location on impact as well. Also has the firemen describing the sequence of explosions as they were in the foyer of the WTC just before it collapsed - same people on camera again denied everything a month later:d Also it has an expert on thermite looking at traces of tiny superheated blobs on parts of the steel that were not disposed. The usual on the impact crater of the pentagon (lack of), footage from all existing security cameras (lack of) and frame by frame analysis of the existing impact footage. Rather disturbing, yet hidden in plain sight, geddit?

There is also another 1.5hr video on the same lines called 'in plane sight' It focuses on the shape/size anomalies of the 'commercial' airliners that were used, and the retracted testimonies of eyewitnesses from inside the WTC. The truth is out there

Seriously though, spelling/grammatical errors are a bad idea. Syntactical ones are sometimes excused on CVs. Employers like to see what they really are interested in - try getting in their mind, pretend you are the hiring manager and write down the keywords you'd like to leap out of the perfect CV (for that role). The wording of the job ad is a good start, so is the wording of the job description. Without using gross cut/paste, you need to have the main keywords prominent in the front page (ideally) and variations thereof spread throughout. The CV is there to whet their appetite and make them want to see you (instead of throwing it in the bin with most others because it looks boring, annoying or irrelevant)

I would recommend his book on cold reading:), Derren Brown based most of his first acts using those methods.

I liked his book because it pokes fun on all those who think he's psychic or 'evil' and there is quite a lot of self-deprecating humour as well. He stops short of admitting to editing out most of the peripheral (but crucial) footage buy hey, that's his trade. Got many of the books mentioned in the 'bibliography' at the end by the way.

...Ah, memories...

Been busy lately, just got an email notification from an old thread, and saw Dude's name, blessim Saw the Village People pic too

Two years later, my view still is: if you want bang for your buck, the next step after a mildly boosted stock setup should be a single (properly mapped of course). I wouldn't bother with hybrids/rebuilds/stage n contraptions, anything unaccompanied by a compressor map is not worth much in my book. Certainly not worth the aggro of fiddling with the exhaust nuts.

As others may also think, I wouldn't bother going higher with no other mods - the dimishing returns start hitting hard, the risk of blowing it up starts getting serious.

Interesting thread. Having watched the first three landings live on TV, I felt compelled to investigate the hoax theories further. Still undecided - I've seen no firm evidence on either side, but some annoying question marks right and left. It's easy to build myths out of thin air and the crowds' fears and selective memory. It should also be easy to repeat the feat 40 years later, but we can only still manage unmanned ships... Closeup pictures from the sea of tranquility by the Japs would settle this once and for all. Hell, they've been nuked twice by the Yanks, and humiliating them might be satisfying. (Ooops, a collapsed USD would wreck havoc with their US holdings though) So as we are all interconnected commerically and economically, it might be in nobody's interest to rock the boat (if indeed there *is* a boat to be rocked!)

cool

What I meant is that double the boost doesn't mean double the power. Under theoretically ideal conditions, double the absolute intake pressure could mean double the power - but conditions are often less than ideal, so diminishing returns kick in soon after boost is increased. On a UKSpec returns tail off sharply after 1 bar and even sharper after 1.2. Soon after you get just extra heat and less power (hot air registers as high boost, complicating things further)

The absolute power figures you'll get depend heavily on the parameters involved : car weight, friction, road levelness. But the *relative* power figures you've seen are not far off. 0.6 bar v 1.2 bar would not imply twice the power at 1.2 bar (I hope you understand that) 'bar' is static pressure (over atmospheric) at the intake, power is something else altogether (loosely related though). Even if you translate it to absolute pressure figures (adding 1 bar to each) you still won't see a linear relationship with power output. The more you move away from the stock setup, the more suboptimal it becomes (i.e. less extra power for each extra bar)

Why not? Did you think that the two have to move in perfect harmony?

Sounds about right. I had managed to peak mine a lot over 300 and 0-60 would be mid-high fours easily (when it wouldn't misfire!) Not a lot more, once you hit redline in sixth, that's it. The gearing defines your limit then. But the more power you've got, the quicker you hit this limit. cavalier in drag is not totally off the mark:p Beware, the CallyT feels faster than the supra, but it isn't necessarily faster in real life. I've got lots of measurements for both. 0-60 the boosted CallyT is quicker, and feels quicker too. 60-100 may be another story, even if it still feels quicker. Over 100 the supraTT wins hands down, even if the Cally feels fast. Of course braking, handling and suspension of the Supra is on a different level. Body stiffness too. Once you do 160 on a Supra or a Skyline, then you have to ditch the Calibra, it feels like a bad joke. If you've been in a Corsa LET, then that's the feeling you get at high speeds: flimsy, unstable, noisy, one-trick pony.

Fuel + Oil = £££ + smoke

These figures are wrong though, they probably used some temp to type them in. They've also mixed up BHP with PS --- 204PS was the output originally advertised when it was launched. It is 201bhp, same thing. There has not been a different factory version of this engine (except for the South African 2wd version)

It was never the one or the other 201bhp was the stock output of the C20LET It is however possible to raise this to around 300bhp without much trouble. But the guy never said it is a stock car that he refers to. Give him a break, he wants a Supra:d
