Very cool Kev

Now go kick some arse in Time Attack (I'm sure you don't need any encouragement)

I had to exercise a lot of restraint to not shout about this earlier

Kind of itching to see the graph

**Kev** · 19-03-2007, 14:21

graph graph graph!!!!

and was that with 1.5 Kev??

Ur gonna go and push me to up the boost on mine arnt u

SM · 19-03-2007, 14:40

Boost, havent a clue what

I assume with 1.5 bar HKS stage 1 cams and Tomei adj pullies, but I left it to Gary

I'll find out for sure later

I have a big smile

Graph is a really badly printed fax .. maybe Gary can do something better

**Fake Ben Taylor** · 19-03-2007, 15:19

fantastic kev

**ShawJohn** · 19-03-2007, 15:48

WOW

Can you handle all them horses Kev

Can't wait to see the thing in action. Dibs on first passenger ride

(If its going to be road legal)...

...Just remember

Don't break this one

**Gary@APT** · 19-03-2007, 16:01

heres the best graph may be a little more to squeeze with a more stable boost,but making good power for spec!!

you can see how boost is a little unstable but not bad for a low pressure actuator

overall the vems looks to be the bollocks,we are only running the 1000cc sard's to only 58% but idle control is amazing

i reckon kev it will be great on track look how long the torque spead is

**C 'n' B** · 19-03-2007, 16:09

300+lb/ft from 4000rpm to 6800rpm!!

SM · 19-03-2007, 16:20

There isnt a smiley big enough

And more power than most SR's running GT2871R's

You dont want Vez mate - I doubt you could afford him anyway

Well done all involved, APT, VEMS and SM monkey magic

**CNHSS1** · 19-03-2007, 17:31

well done Kev

great torque curve, thatll make the car quick on track.

**ants13** · 19-03-2007, 17:45

looking good mate,

nice figures as well.

Bob needs to put this in his sales literature

Nice figures.

**disco-tom** · 19-03-2007, 19:25

Very, very nice, SM. Great work to all involved in Vems and the mapping.

Hmmmm.....

disco-tom ponders his next mapping move......

**cHiL** · 19-03-2007, 19:43

Thats wicked Kev/Gary/Bob,

SM · 19-03-2007, 20:06

Thanks Guys

The Credit goes to Gary - hes my hero

remember he also built the engine as well as mapped it.
Thanks to PhatBob and the VEMS team for giving Gary everything he needed to get the result

Plenty of other people too, Graham at DCMS for a lot of the build of the car, Yak, Marty T3 and a bunch of other locals for all the help since Xmas, Apex for lots of bits including the manifold

and my bank manager for a loan and 3 overdrafts

and plenty of people I have forgot in my happiness

**cHiL** · 19-03-2007, 20:23

OMG, just thinking of all the lightening and handling stuff you've done too

This is gonna be interesting in the time attack to say the least

No lag and all that power and handling??!!

I can't wait to see it in action

**RohanC** · 19-03-2007, 20:26

Yar

Only wish i could have helped with the build

Better do well in the Time Attack now
