Is that with a BNR S1 mate?
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
Yes.
Apart from the shit clutch, that's a pretty good result for normal fuel... Wonder if the car could keep making power to 6.5k...Originally Posted by Reedy
Results are in, the engine performed great but the clutch kept slipping on the dyno! Not very happy considering it's a brand new clutch!
Red plot is the end result, green plot is what happens when the clutch lets go during a pull ><
Either way 225kW and 430NM is nothing to sneeze at, and about what I was expecting, but this was de-tuned and they had to do the dyno pulls in 3rd gear. We don't actually know how much head room there is left to work with.
What you doing about the clutch?

We're talking to NPC today, either this one has a defect or we need a stronger one. Not sure if we can re-use the pressure plate from this one or if that also needs to be replaced. Pain in the ass!

Any indication of whether this can be rectified before Monday? I guess it depends on how the convo goes with NPC?
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
Probably just gonna get our hands on a new clutch and worry about warranty claims afterwards. NPC need us to send this one back first so I'll just front the money now in the name of trying to get back on the road by Monday!

Nice looking graph, more torque further into the rev range, nice and flat between 3 and 5k, and it doesnt seem to fall off a cliff post 5k.
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
Yea its good. Just ordered a cushion button clutch so will be back to fighting fitness again soon. Looks like the one we ordered just wasn't expecting to see that kind of torque. 430 NM is no small amount but it should have still been within reason.

What did they expect from a 220kw car that only revs to 6500rpm? :/
They say what the torque levels they expected were?

Looks like some excess grease squeezed into the bell housing when things were assembled and contaminated the clutch. Bit of a bugger but a new one will be going in on friday so Monday is back on the cards again!
Grease or JD?

Did the Diff upgrade change the torque steer at all?
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
Maybe a little, but not really. It doesn't snatch like the standard diff does and is a lot smoother in its operation, but it will still pull you one way or the other when the road is a bit uneven.

Update.
Finally dropped the car off yesterday to have the new clutch fitted. Once that's done I am booked in to get it retuned next week just in time for Winton. Tight schedule as always.

Here is the kind of thing I am looking for:

I need a catch can setup for the top breather as it is still producing quite a lot of oil. This looks like a pretty good solution, minimal hose length etc. Altho that is fitted to a 6 so might not fit a 3 in quite the same way.

I run that same add w1 catch can, does the job fine

Exactly. We aren't blessed with much extra room on the MPS. I have 2 cans which are both on the front of the gearbox. Setup like this

Yea that's cool, I don't have a PERM plate so mine won't have the connector and check valve that yours does but the idea is there. I don't like the idea of running the valve cover breather all the way down to the gearbox and back again. It's ok for the PCV breather but the the rocker cover hose is only 30cm long, i'd just like something that taps into that without needing much extra piping.
I am tempted to grab myself one of those ADD cans and just poke around in the engine bay until I can make it fit.

Yeah i wasn't a fan of having hoses runnings everywhere. You still have the stock battery and box too so space must be tight. Maybe you could try find a smaller air/ oil seperator that runs in the hose from valve cover to tip.
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
This ADD one looks really good because it's quite small compared to others on the market. Cheap too, just need to make up hoses to fit.

Draining it could be a problem as the whole can needs to unscrew from the top, altho that dipstick hole should be just the right fit for my vacuum pump so that could possibly work quite well. Main question iscan it fit in the engine bay.....
Might be time to get a lithium battery?
