The smell a BS in this post is unbearable no pics or proof ie graphs from the RR etc Jackanory springs to mind ,bearing in mind the cars only been on the streets since december it doesnt leave a lot a time for development ,think ill wait till its done properly by the likes of thorney MS :?

Oh dear
Well a few points here I suppose ;
i) at 6800 rpm in top the Astra on 19" would do 176mph
ii) it'll never get there as the aero is too poor without a considerable amount of bhp
iii) as mention all the 'stage 1' maps are pushing out 280 - 285PS , at best we believe 350 - 370 is achievable with considerable work to the cooling
iv) because as everyone will find once they pop the car on the dyno that unless there huge volume moving fans the intake temps on the Astra will rise above 48C and the ECU will start retarding the ignition. Thats also why dyno charts are lacking on the VXR at the mo.
So Jom I'm sure you had best intentions in telling everyone about the mods on your car but I feel that you've done Regal and yourself a bit of a disservice.

You need to go have a chat with Regal. As Stu points out the gearing of the car make it physically impossible to reach 200mph. As he's a VXR brand manager, he should know the limits. Looks like something is seriously wrong with Regals RR if it says you were doing 200mph - a virus maybe.
The exhaust looks like an exhaust trim around a std round exhaust
What do you expect the real item to look like?

Have they changed the gearing on the car, without that it not physically possible at 7000rpm, even with a 800bhp engine.

Update: just picked her up...
exaust, software & camshaft have been done
*still* no RR results because the car was out peforming Regals rolling road :roll:
one readout we managed to get though showed great improvement with a topend @ 200mph + 1.2 boost @ 7000rpm
the initial boost the software gave is now carried from 2500rpm right through to the 7000rpm (red lines @ 8000rpm but heat is becoming a factor in performance at such high engine speeds) lol...
the exaust is now 63mm decat on the front, one long middle box and the same default shape pipe just 3 times bigger :D
You mentioned 7000 rpm in this post. But are you saying the figures were obtained at 8000 rpm?

[quote="Jom
no, a VRX will test at 200mph...perhaps Stu has a virus? :lol:[/quote]
not since I got the treatment :)
but to hit 200mph you'll be turning the engine over in 6th on the rollers at 7700rpm. Is that what you did ?
If so I suggest a basket attached to the end of your exhaust pipe to catch the bits !

Regals tuner EDS claim 160mph for their phase 2 at over 315ps. Whilst you might have a couple more mods, they certainly wouldnt seem to add over 40mph to the top end if it has taken 60bhp to get an extra 10-15mph.

Chaps I am locking this thread for the moment.

[Sheriff]

FYI
We have had request to delete, edit, lock and un-lock this thread by a few users. It will stay lock until we decide a coarse of action.
We would like to add that we are not locking this thread due Jom's stated specification.

[Sheriff]

Now unlocked.
Please watch you language, but everyone is entitled to there opinions. There maybe no evedence that Jom's figures are real, but there is also no evedence that they are not.
Now lets talk nicely, and maybe Jom could explain what has been done to the car thus far :)

[dap]

The guy seems to be very enthusiastic about his Vxr , can be only good for the brand, at least hes out there doing it and not just dreaming about it, not sure about the figures though but then again weve seen all sorts of scary numbers in development, I think people will find this car will turn out to be a real stormer.
