BGTV8 VQ40HRGA Race engine build

BGTV8

So it speaks ............

Makes ~230Kw atw on 98RON with the M150 running the engine.

Massive thanks to Vitaliy at VitViper who has been extremely patient with us and who spent countless hours remotely logged to our Motec halfway around the globe.

His Motec package runs the VVEL natively (VVEL computer removed from the loop) and Vit has options for rolling traction control, anti-lag for FI and a bunch of other stuff.

We now have a patch harness design that can be duplicated at will .. I will approach Specialty Wiring to see if they are prepared to do a package for USA but getting the wiring thru the firewall is a job best left to an expert.

We are now ready to move onto the final stage in 4 or 5 weeks to finally assemble the heads and make the short engine whole, add the ITB kit and put the Quaife sequential behind it and into the car.

The only thing required now is an engine bay harness we can cut up as my 4-litre engine is VVEL delete (HR head conversion) and for Motec Research to calibrate the Jenvey ITB stepper motors.

We will be adding a couple of standard Motec features to Vitaliy's package (clutchless flat shift on the upchange with rev-match and same on downshift) which should work well with VitTuned traction control. I have a paddle-shift kit in my shed for later as well.

Home stretch in sight

230Kw is about 308 Hp. I think? You're getting there.

Near enough ... the hub dyno I have always used seems to "read" a lot lower than some others on the forum, but it is the relative measures I am after, not the outright number.
