Photobucket have applied "improvements" to their site - cocked up a lot of their users image locations - hence images not now showing

Hi,
Engine bay looks like this now:


I am running about 0.8bar boost at the moment and borrowed friends gTech yesterday.
0-100km/h


Had very little traction with 1. and 2. gear.

50-100km/h took less time than 0-50


Quarter mile speed shows that there is some power.

100-190km/h

[Taavi]

Dyno day!!!


415,1Hp 541Nm @ wheels
477Hp 622Nm @ engine

i wonder how long its gonna last running that power

[P6UL K]

Brilliant!! 

[Amir]

hmm...
Nice project...

I have some questions about your OMEGA.

1) you didn't say anything about turbo. Which brand? Model?

2) What about ECU?

3) Now running on custom Headers or stock manifold?

4) Exhaust system? 

Thanks

Thanks

1) Holset HX35
2)Megasquirt 2 V3
3) All custom
4) 3" Downpipe and modified v6 center and last section or if needed 3" all the way (noisy as hell)

On 24th took part of one mile top speed competition.
First run 255km/h Second 256km/h
Boost was 0,5- 0,6 bar.

Definitely interesting man, i wonder how it would be to drift my hearse with double the power i have now.

How do you get on with the supposed over heating issues?  I'll be fitting 2 further electric water pumps to help flow the water round the system 

[Taavi]

So far the overheating issues seem BS. Havent had any problems with coolant temp. Maybe it becomes an issue on a track days but not when daily driving or at top speed and drag races.

For max cooling capabilities I bought brand new radiator and expansion tank too. Also I got rid of the factory oil cooler and fitted an oil to  air type unit. I dont have the three way valve in the heater circuit neither, because no air-con.

Or I am just been lucky so far

[P6UL K]

Ah ok, very interesting! How did you go about ridding the car of the oil cooler?  I've tried to fit an air oil cooler myself but the sandwich plate that would fit between the oil filter and block won't fit because there's a sensor right near it!

[lozzzzzz]

What an awesome read, keep up the excellent work, I hope to read some more updates on this soon. 

Very interesting gearbox change too, some serious engineering work there!!!
