Thats a nice sounding motor with good power figures,Did you do all the work yourself?

[1stRaven]

Most of it. only thing a garage did was the tappets which they did wrong too.

just need to get the injectors and clutch sorted and head back to the dyno with it.

Will you be coming to the dyno day on the 26th? Be good to see you there.

I doubt it mate. One of the injectors has failed and the clutch is slipping. I am trying to get hold of a uprated clutch at the moment as the stock one is struggling to hold 25psi The injectors also need sending off which I have to do this week.

We'll see, I may pop down in the t5 but I wont be running it on the dyno.

Thats fine mate it will be good to see/meet you there.

[foggyjames]

25th May at the Pyewipe mate.

[turboman]

cool,what a sleeper.is it 8 valve or 16,? a credit to you well done.

[foggyjames]

Bum...didn't get an email notification.

8 valve..and a standard one at that. With that much boost, a 16v would be making 400+bhp.

cheers

Hi

Interesting build thread, well done!!

[foggyjames]

Which year is your 760? It rather changes the best way to proceed...

We've done a lot to the car, and there are many small 'supporting' details, but here are the key 'ingredients', power wise...

Essentially, we've enlarged the turbo (quite a bit) and put a 3" turbo-back exhaust on it, then we've increased the boost pressure to...well...when everything's working, nearly 2 Bar / 30psi. In order to make sure it didn't blow up when we did that, we removed the factory engine management system and replaced it with a programmable system, so that we have full control of fuel delivery and spark timing. Injectors near enough double the size of the originals have been installed. The engine itself is essentially standard. It has a hotter cam, but apart from that, it's a 90k old engine from a late-model 940, pulled from a scrap yard. Late-model Redblock rods are good and strong, and you should get ~400bhp from a standard 1991+ B230 block, all being well.

If you have a B230FT (1990+), the engine management system can be chipped, and there's a fairly easy formula for getting 250-300bhp - it's very similar to the formula for a 300bhp phase 1 T5 (turbo, exhaust, chip...maybe intercooler). Ryan's car is an 1989 model with the B230ET engine and Motronic (v1!) management, which makes life a little more tricky...but as you can see, it can be overcome...

cheers
