1000 bhp per ton

Anthonys too busy driving it to finish it! Still lots to do to get it to 1kbhp/tonne.

**ToddS14A** · 20-05-2012, 09:14

Any update??

I should be meeting up with Jez soon the push the boost further, possibly next week.

At the moment I'm just enjoying taking it out in the sun.

can't get fairer than that

Sorry it's taken so long for an update.

There's a video overview of the build on my YouTube channel. More video coming soon.

I'll hopefully get some road footage sorted and I'll be at the Weekender chasing Madda on track.

I've had a custom tonneau cover made and I've put some miles on the clock. 600 bhp per tonne feels quite quick. I'm going to meet up with Jez hopefully next week if the weather clears up and we can tweak the boost further.

I NEED to see a video of this on the road !! Awesome car.

**Giblets** · 16-07-2012, 18:51

First time on track. Here's a pic from the Weekender at Blyton Park.

It ran well. Ironed out a few small issues. Just waiting for the weather to improve so Jez can do a bit more mapping.

I've got 3/4 good ones of you Mr G... I'm off next week so I'll get my backside in gear and put them on a disc for you.

Update???

**ToddS14A** · 10-12-2012, 20:45

What's happened to this?

**ToddS14A** · 12-01-2013, 12:31

Has he killed himself in it?

LOL - no. New fuel system has been fitted due to fuel surge. Nearly finished now so we should get it back on the rollers soon

**M.D.** · 12-01-2013, 15:32

And get some kind of decent quality vid up here. I want to hear this thing

**Giblets** · 16-01-2013, 14:40

I fitted a new tank last week. It's double the capacity, foam filled, anti fuel surge, etc.

It's due an MOT on Friday, then depending on the weather I'll drive over to Jez for more dyno mapping.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but there's been little chance to drive it over winter.

**Chriscooke** · 16-01-2013, 15:55

Love this car and looking forward to seeing the results when it's mapped again

**Giblets** · 01-02-2013, 19:26

Fresh MOT. Better fuel supply. Lithium Ion battery. Back on the dyno next week....

**Algie** · 03-02-2013, 10:12

Lithium ion battery?!? Bet that cost a few bob, has it solved your ampage woes?

**Daz** · 03-02-2013, 14:04

Such a cool car.

I know I've asked you at the sorry rolling road but my memory is crap. What's the original kit car? Was it a robin hood?

**CH1EF** · 03-02-2013, 15:25

MK Indy I beleive

The amps are in short supply if it's a hot evening and I have the lights on and rad fan comes on, so not too bad.
I'm going to get the stator rewound the next time I take the engine out. That'll give another 100w which should be plenty.

Battery was a bit of a luxury. It packs a punch though, 500cca equivalent and only 1.4kg.
