Both Torque and BHP run hand in hand. One is just as important as the other when it comes to cars. :)

I just want to win the bloomin trophy back at Santa Pod. :)

It is only a calculator and will give a rough Idea of terminal speed and time but there is so much that can vary in this. E.G. gearbox ratios even wheel diameter and rolling resistance. it says I should do 11.8s and 128mph but as yet I've not achieved anywhere near that. There's only one real...

Looks like you had a great time at the Pod. Santa Pod can be such a good day out and RWYB days are a great way of legally giving your car a good old thrashing. :)

Hi Vikram09. welcome to the forum. :)

I had a Hillman Imp. Had a high lift cam sports manifolds and uprated SU carb. For the size of the 998cc engine it went like the clappers. :)

Hi Mike. Welcome to the forum. :)

How about this as a starter. :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-XJS-5-3-V12-HE-AUTO/271649710881?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29478%26meid%3D4ebeefb66a794a21a5f5a82357bf31e9%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D271649710881

The XK's fetch more money but look a lot nicer. Get a nice V12 XJS and treasure it and it'll pay you back in the future. :)

£1850 for 370bhp not bad :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-XJR-4-0-V8-Supercharged-/281682613327?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item419597944f

A little story for you just to compare....... I ran my XJR (supercharged) against a BMW M5 at Santa pod. I also had the Mrs in the car so I was carrying an extra few kilos (not saying how many she'll hit me). Anyway Basically I beat him on the 1/4 mile although I crossed the line at 107mph he...

My insurer knows about the other mods on the car and was quite keen to bump up my premium when they heard about the supercharger upgrade and remap but they were not concerned about the exhaust. Like I said before the nos is only for track days and is never coupled up/Installed on the public road...

Yes the Idea here will work but a much larger capacity alternator would have to be install to generate the power required to keep it running. There will also be a bigger load on the engine to turn such an alternator. :)

All sorted now. Must have been a time related thing. :)

Hi. I must be thick but I cannot upload an Avatar or upload any pictures to Gallery. For the Avatar it says click your image and then click edit but a warning comes up as soon as I click my image and says that Im not allowed to do this. ????

You could be the new Conchita :) .V(

I have emailed them to see what they suggest. As for the legality of Nitrous then the answer is yes as long as your insurer is informed. I do not use mine on the road, only for days at the drag strip. So technically all I'm doing is carrying some extra pipes around in the car and it's not...

Hi Santiago. Welcome to the forum. :)

I wish to put an avatar up but cant seem to do it at the moment. Any probs with the site ??? o_O

Will do. I will wait until Im back in the UK next week. :)

I got my kit from Nimbus Motor Sports :)

I have a Nytrex wet system installed. with a 10lb bottle

One of my best experiences behind the wheel was a track day at Silverstone in a Ferrari and my best one was pulling a PB at Santa Pod in my XJR 12.9s :)

Unfortunately there are many widgets and gadgets that claim to make your car more efficient or more powerful and they are all snake oil. Another famous one is the Hydrogen gadget that you pop in the engine bay and by electrolosis you split the atoms in a pint of water and make your car more...

Plus when you are changing from one power type to another then to another eg mech to elec then back to mech you always lose in the change overs. The Coeficiency of Power. Standard physics.

A super charger will normally take around 80+bhp drain on an engine. But the gains are fantastic. A little fan wont do diddly squit and if its an axial flow compressor it would have stages of rotors and stators to compress the air down which it does not. :)

Hi. Welcome to the forum from another newbie. :)

Yes its always better to get that throttle opened up and let the engine work hard and breath easily, and blow out all those cob webs. :)

I bought new discs and pads for the rear of my car but been putting it off for a week now but must pull my finger out and get on with it. :)

My initial setting was 100bhp and the car ran very nicely with that so I increased to 125bhp and the car still seems happy I think another 25bhp boost to 150bhp might be ok too as fuel supply from the two pumps seems quite adequate at the moment but I don't want to push things too much and end...

Hi. I have a Jaguar XJR X350 2004 that I have modded slightly for a few extra bhp. So far I have put a smaller pulley on the supercharger, had a remap, fitted sports cats and free flow exhaust system. I had her dyno'd a couple of weeks ago at 441bhp (fly wheel). Jaguar quote the car as 400bhp as...

Hi Guys. My Name is Jerry and I have a Jaguar XJR 2004 . I have done some simple mods so far but nothing to make to car too powerful as it is also my daily drive and needs to be reliable. As it stands without the nitrous she is 441bhp (dyno'd 2 weeks ago). :)
