Paul Whiffin Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Are the straights at Knockhill long enough to come close to your (the cars) limits Paul? No where near it, dont think I'll get out of 4th gear round there. Oulton Park I was only using 3rd and 4th gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake supra Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Snetterton is my favourite at the moment I think. It suits the Supra really well, it has slow, medium and fast corners with 2 long straights for it to stretch its legs. Plus I really seem to be able to push the car to its limits around there, plenty of run off! I always come away from there knowing I got the most out of the car. I thought that would be the best track suited to the supra. What sort of top speed do you get up to on the big straights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake supra Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Are you making any adjustments to the car for knockhill. You seemed to have a great race at oulton. The car sounded lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Are you making any adjustments to the car for knockhill. You seemed to have a great race at oulton. The car sounded lush. Apart from new front wheel bearings, new front discs and pads which will hopefully get rid of my brake problem which I think is pad knock off. Also found a tiny bit of play in one of my rose jointed track rod ends so got to change that over. Couple of extra bits welded into the cage to stiffen the shell further. And I'm going to play around with the traction control settings as its really not working very well for me at all. There is a good bend at Knockhill to test it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, not sure on power output, probably half of what we have but half the weight to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 more power! I wish it was that simple, could easily turn the boost up, its more down to the chassis and driver abilities now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rate them better then the Cobra Misano's...? Ps.Sick sup..! Yep, still have them, cant beat them for comfort, not that I need much as we only sit in the car for 15 minutes at a time with Time Attack.

Paul what kind of power can you make by turning the boost up. What is it set at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Paul what kind of power can you make by turning the boost up. What is it set at now. Running 1.6 bar at the mo which should equate to around 800bhp may be more depending on what dyno you believe. Could run 2.2bar if I wanted to, that would be well over 900bhp, just dont need it for most tracks in the UK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Motorsport Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Could run 2.2bar if I wanted to, that would be well over 900bhp, just dont need it for most tracks in the UK though. Is that already with the Bullseye turbo Paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Is that already with the Bullseye turbo Paul? Nope, still have the GT40/4294 hybrid. I feel no need to change it at the moment, its doing everything I need it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hmm, sounds good. anywhere i can find the specs on that tubby and/or dynosheet? The turbo I'm using is a GT4094R with a GT42 compressor wheel in a machined out GT40 housing. Its not an off the shelf Garrett unit but available to buy through myself of course, list price is about £1600 + VAT approx. There should be a dyno sheet on this thread somewhere?
