Eventful day today.
So RR day at JKM today, nice to meet new people, met some people and finally saw LL's car in the flesh
Hats off to Wherry for coming all the way from Jersey (in the isle of man according to me
). Nice to meet you too dude, after so long!
Not cool seeing Wazzer's car with an actuator problem and having to abort his runs, although JKM proved to have excellent customer service and returned his money
Also Robin, his car developed a misfire in the midrange so his runs didn't go perfectly. It proves that a RR is not good just for measuring power, but engine health too as neither of the above guys knew about their problems.
So anyway, got there about 8:45am and it all kicked off at about 9:20am.
Quite a few people didn't turn up, in fact about half of the list. However the weather wasn't great and a lot of people did drop out with mechanical/other problems, so it was expected.
Javalin was the first to run the car, he was very happy with his 118hp output from the standard engine.
I was next and had warmed the car up nice doing a few fast runs down the road, and opening the bonnet to let all the heat out prior to the dyno.
I was very happy with the output, with 150hp I would have been over the moon, as all its got is panel filter, smoothed and drilled airbox, decat and full exhaust system.
However it pulled a healthy 155.3HP and 135 ft-lb along a very smooth and very nice line, holding the power at the top of the rev range very well all the way to the limiter.
I think a nice change of spark plug leads (new dizzie cap, rotor and plugs, only a few days old) and a coil pack (I'll get onto that in a second) would have smoothed out the torque line and maybe given a bit more power.
Here is a video of the runs, notice the flames on the 2nd run
