£75 Sponsored Trackday and 450BHP upgrade details

[bernmc]

Hello all

Hyeline are organising a Track Day at Llandow in South Wales to take place on Saturday 26th August 2006. Hyeline are sponsoring the day, so it's only going to cost £75.

Maximum 30 cars, and it's open pit lane, so come and go as you please!

Apparently it's a really nice circuit - just over 1 mile round, and run by very helpful people.

The track day is open to anyone/any car - I saw it advertised on the 350z-uk forum, and the wife and I will be taking the Z. It would be great to see some VR4's there... so I can bum a ride!

Payment Details: Telephone Hyeline on 02920 709191 and pay by credit/debit card. Be quick!

Fancy a 450 BHP Legnum?????

I was chatting to Kenso at Hyeline - he can get all sorts of VR4 stuff, including a 450BHP engine upgrade . I'm waiting for him to email me details and prices, but looks like he may be a good source of bits and bobs. I'll post info in a new thread as soon as I have it.

Sounds interesting, it will be very interesting to see what mods they propose, you won't get that much on the stock turbos.

[ritch_w]

post up the info as soon as u get it!!!

I salivate with anticipation!!

The 8g VR4?

But what about the turbos? Or are they proposing laughing gas?

[ntrance]

I took my old broken one to see if kenso could read the ecu, as he is japanese.
I dont think they had seen one until last year.
They are big on 300zx & Skylines

[Kieran]

Any update Bern?

[Wodjno]

Are you sure they are not meaning the GTO VR4
And i could get you a £450 VR4 engine upgrade But you probably wouldn't like the price to much

[bernmc]

Haven't heard anything - will chase up tomorrow.

If you look at the Hyeline webpage you'll see that I'mgoing to get swamped by flippin skylines on the track day. SOMEONE with a VR4 get your bum down there!!!

75 quid for a track day....

I'd love to come to llandow, but i'm away to the biggest LAN party the UK has seen, 1000 BYOC i28 multiplay @ newbry race course. Yes i'm a puter games freak!

I emailed hyeline today as i want some mods to the car, brembos, apexi boost controller and a service.

I've also asked about this mod, must be a pretty mental one more power than a MR FQ400 , but must cost mega mega bucks.
Would that mean a galant/legnum could do the 0-60 in 3.5 seconds?

I spoke to Kenso fairly recently and the projected 450bhp is a Turbo out job and in with the new.

I am at Hyeline next Tuesday (15th), So as I am there for the day I will try to gather some info and he will probably twist my arm into going to llandow track day I know its a day for tuning your motors to the max, So the Monster Skyline peeps will be there in force as Bernmc said in prev post.

I am gettin my new Zorst 3" cat back, but if the front of my zorst is as rusty and corroded as the back, I may be having the whole lot

[bernmc]

Good man. Think we should restrict details of any mods to track day attendees only. So there

[ntrance]

"Pros Buzz bolt on turbine type-s – output value of 450bhp £1650+vat"

How much? And I guess you also need the £2k manifolds?

I'll take three, please!

[Kieran]

That spec is impressive, but it's so overpriced, it's beyond ridiculous!

I notice that a lot of that is PROs-IIda stuff - top make, but even then, £2300 for a hard pipe kit is absolutely crazy.

For heaven's sake.... A PROs FPR for £255+VAT when a SARD one will cover you to ~450bhp and costs less than a ton?

I think the question should be, who can hit that power figure and/or beat it -and for how much less cash??

Dave and Derek (to name but two) have knocked 330bhp+ for a fifth of the quoted price of the 360bhp tweaks!

That's the one thing that gets on my nerves about tuning one of the more esoteric Japanese cars.... everyone thinks that gives them a licence to print money!!

[Dan_G]

Theres not an uprated /forged conrod, piston or crankshaft to be seen....

Are we saying the engine internals can take 450bhp?

[Nutter_John]

Well spotted Dan , maybe thats a question to ask them .

What I will say is the prices are beyond funny , I nearly passed out with shock . I would have thought the whole lot the are suggesting would be in the region of 5-8k max

for example £1880 for a intercooler - WRD can get a custom made one for £450ish

If its £25k for 450bhp then wtf is going to be to get the power that Kev AP is going to be running ?

If you want 450bhp for £25k, you could quite easily buy any number of other Jap cars, mildly tune them and have change.

Was the bloke serious or do you think he doesn't want the business?

I had a word document attached to an email. It was all laid out nicely so I think this is serious !.

As I live near cardiff, and i've been down there with my last legnum, i asked for a service,brembo upgrade and the apexi boost controller.

I enquired about this thread "450BHP", and got the reply.
It's way out of most peoples budget, unless you pick all 6 numbers on saturday.


AL.

[bradc]

Yeah that is way overpriced. It is interesting to see they do manifolds and turbos though
