After driving at Spa on the 12th of may, the engine was not running 100% even if the car was quite fast. So I decided to check exaclty.

As I am doing a lot of upgrades at the same time, I never know well the car when going on track. So it's quite uneasy to say if something is wrong. This time, I was faster by more than 4 sec per lap where I indeed have 22 bhp less... This preparation is "soft", it does not need any fuel modification. The turbo is still a OEM turbo (LEH). It seems it is a basic loss of air presure, somewhere. I just need to find it :wink:
The worst for me is losing time, as I need to go on my new light body...

I will do it soon, but I can tell it push like never, so it works 8)
What I found very strange is how a basic 2.0 GM without turbo and without Vtec can produce 245 BHP :?: :?: :?:
Bon, c'est pas l'tout, mais maintenant qu'on a assez perdu de temps pour trouver pourquoi un vulgaire petit 2.0 GM non vtec et atmosphérique ne sortait que 245cv (il faudra qu'on m'explique...), on passe à la suite !

I am now going to install this turbo cooling system in order to decruise the engine bay temperature. This associated to the new CF body opended behind and without boot. But unfortunately, this is quite heavy... :cry:
I will weight it before fitting it:

After a full month of hard search, I found it !

I will fit it at the same time with the front CF body and I will clean of all the heavy stuff. Extra weight foreseen: - 4,68kg 8)

Which GM engine with 245BHP do you mean? If you're talking about the "old" C20XE 2.0 16V engine, that is possible with extensive mods. (Tuned for throttle bodies etc.)
But in standard form it was 150BHP...

It's a standard 2.0 Z20LET (except balancing shafts removed) but without turbo !

Was a standard Z20LET engine, as found in the speedster turbo, not rated at 205BHP or something?

I think that without turbo this should be more like 145BHP then, but even that number is already very unlikely for the low compression Z20LET engine... (Balance shaft removal is said to bring 5-10 BHP)
