p.s. did anybody find a bacon roll in a bag coz i lost one <_<

 

Funny you should mention that - i found one as we were closing up.... needless to say, it's not much good now

 

Isn't that what caused the "Random Sandwich"conversation earlier in the day Shaun? You're right... would be a good name for a band... :lol:

 

Want to say thanks to all for a good day, and thanks to Dave for a ride out in his car. I think I would have been level with Lee in the power chart if we rounded to the nearest HP... who invented decimals, eh? :D

An exhaustive search has located the missing bacon roll. It has a bite out of it though. Shall we send it back to you in the post? :lol:

Well thankyou for finding my bacon roll , if it's only had one bite out of it can you put it in the fridge for me and i will pick it up later :D

We just finished another LOC members car recently. It's a shame it wasn't ready for the LOC meet because it would have been the best over all on the day. This shows the power and torque with and without the Camcon ativated.

that is really tempting, I am just very concerned about my engine being able to handle it :cowboy:

 

Yes, that is a valid concern but the very first stage 1 upgrade we did was on a standard engine. That was done years ago and is still going strong as far as I know :rambo:

If i were considering the stage 1 my question would be "is this ok for the standard engine or not?"

Unfortunately the answer isn't that simple.

 

We have not seen any engine reliability issues with engines fitted with the stage 1 pulley upgrade, but we know of broken connecting rods on engines with less power.

 

The only supercharged engine that we have actually seen that had broken rods, had the standard boost pressure but was seriously abused (to the degree that is unlikely to ever happen again). I have heard of other engines with broken rods but do not know the circumstances.

 

Personally, I would take some comfort knowing that no stage 1 engines that have been professionally tuned have not had any reliability issues over the years, so would go for it :lol:

Ok.... I'm comfortable with that reply thank you Mark.

 

My customers who delve into the modification market always look for the safe zone..... I have to explain to them that no modification is without consequence, albeit handling or tyre wear or indeed fuel consumption... Nevertheless if i explain how wide the consequence window is then they can decide if the opening is suitable :huh:
