Look forward to seeing you, there may be a space on the day, so if you want get your £30 quid ready, the C4S will need to have the front wheel drive disconnected, the 968 can go straight on ....

Final call for those who wake up in the morning and get the itch to give the porker a good run in the crisp cold morning sunshine to Bob's .... rewarded with the best coffee and bacon sandwich North of Watford ..... you know what I mean folks ..... [;)]
 
Hi all - thanks for such a great day. Links to some vids below: [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CatSiMUErI4[/link] [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a29jV0id8XE[/link] [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkmevnOh-ww[/link] [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjcvk-DH12U[/link]
 
Thanks Mark ... Great Day .... nice video's GT3 Cup made 413 BHP, 3.8 Motec 327 BHP, 930 Turbo 330BHP, Orange 964 Just Shy of 300BHP! All true readings ....
 
Hi Des , thanks for arranging the day , you did a good job [:)] I dont know how many you got to go on the dyno , looked like too good an opportunity to miss for those who turned up ......certainly the fine sunny weather was not an excuse for a 'no-show' for those that did not make it.... I might go back to Bobs with the cup pipe refitted now track day season is finished for me , to see what difference it makes to HP. My 964 engine was live remapped on a cup pipe to produce 'well in excess of 300 HP' ....but that was not on Bob's dyno.... nor was it on the 9M dyno [;)] BTW the effect on 964 noise to swap standard primary silencer for cup pipe is to raise from 101 ish to 107 ish , which would result in Spa being the only trackday I could do [:eek:] .......

Get that heavy rear silencer off and put the cup pipe on mate!!!! You will make at least another 7 BHP take You to 305 and lose the same in kilo's ... a must .... torque pick up, flywheel and sound.
 
Yes well done Des, will look forward to the next meet, that is if you dont mine a very slightly modified Porsche tagging along! It was worth going that far for the Cheeseburger's kev
 
Brave souls --- it looked fun ! My 3.6RS with cat bypass, cup bypass, secondary silencer and Wills Tip comes in at 103dB ...
 
Des, did you run "Big Red", having had the honour/privilege of driving the beast I wonder what numbers it was putting out?
 
I have a Bob Read Out showing 417.6 at 0.9 bar and 477 at 1.3 bar boost .... was happy just watching and organising what was a great day for all those who turned up many pistonheaders turned up and got on the Dyno, were a few members were absent dntu ... everyone who wanted a dyno got on except David, apparently a little trouble uncoupling the 964 4wd, but 993 easier ... will become an annual fixture .... [;)]
 
Wow!......that is more than I expected, it felt quick though! You must be more than pleased with the result. 1.0 bar sounds like a happy medium if you are going to use it mostly on the road.
 
I assumed at the flywheel.......400+ at the wheels and I would not have felt comfortable driving it in the wet, without planning permission to rebuild the local area! [:D] Are you bringing it along to "club night" at Brands tomorrow??? (may be there in airfix kit)
