Reyland Zs Rebuild / Update

[peterzs]

Always an interesting read, and well done, the bender guy.

90% way above my head, but changing pads for me is a challenge!!!!!!

Keep the reports coming in, will be a monster when its finished.

Hope so Pete.

Almost blew the budget when a 600hp+ freshly built motor came along lol!
But that will have to wait till I can get it running the rear wheel.

600 plus would need AWD to make full use of it surely? 400 through the front is probably the limit I would think otherwise you'd be wrestling with it and be needing arms like Popeye!

[Noobrider]

we just built an Astra with a 2ltr turbo red top thats pushing 320Bhp. I would say 300 is about the limit for FWD as the wheels just light up all the time and the torque steer and total understeer makes it almost undriveable.

[Quadcam24]

depends on a few things tbh, fwd can handle over 300 but you preferably want a large turbo that can run low boost instead of a small turbo running high boost, that will help keep torque down, then you need a progressive map for a linear delivery, good tyres, lsd etc.

Done some tuning in Jan for low boost just ramped up the boost and didn't add any timing at all, from 10.6 psi AFR's from 6k rpm to 9k rpm where 10.5 pig rich but it was to see % of power for boost.
On the road at 13.7psi is was easy to drive, I would drive it n track and would not expect problem with torque or understeer.
It's how you dial in the rest of the car that counts, so it can be done if you know how to set up the car.


PSI FlyHP WHP Torque
8.5 338bhp 276whp 214ft/lbs
9.6 349bhp 289whp 230ft/lbs
10.6 354bhp 293whp 244ft/lbs
11.9 365bhp 304whp 258ft/lbs
12.7 383bhp 316whp 264ft/lbs
13.7 396bhp 325whp 273ft/lbs

what you really have to consider is the number of wet days we have!

That's a good reason to then run boost by gear or RPM, deliver the power you want in each gear to avoid having to run say 300hp from 1st to 5th, ramp up the boost in each gear, race logic traction control it's also helps a lot.
When it's wet I don't drive anything quick on the road, pointless for many reason other than traction.

Arfternoon,
Not updated this for a while! done loads but will give a better update later.

Just had this arrive and very happy, worth the wait :-)




Massive weight save.

Planning to get it flocked to match the steering wheel once everything is positioned and i am happy with the layout!

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Nice litle update but dash is a bit dark to make out in pic, will look awsome when flocked
also loving the General Lee there "Yeee-Haa!"
