DTM Brian Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 My friend Chad brought out his turbocharged noble today to give some numbers with his new fuel pump upgrades. The motor starts out as a 3.0 duratec engine from the ford taurus and escape. It his twin t-28 turbochargers and uses a unique engine management system that only 2 tuners in the United States have access to. The tuner of this car has a 800 whp GTR. Back to the noble. This car weighs in between 2200 and 2300 pounds. http://75.180.27.125:50001/Dyno%20Graphs%20and%20Pictures./Dyno%20Graphs/Chad%20Noble%203.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Pics or ban. Tried to get the camera before the customer left. It will be back on the dyno in a couple weeks to get a tune for more boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Tits, want to shoot me a PM/give me a call when the car will be on the rollers? I'd like to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Okay, dumb non-boost guy question, why does the boost drop off some up top? Those are really sweet numbers for a 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil8 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have driven one of these and they are fooking beasts! The acceleration is pretty impressive, but the handling is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Okay, dumb non-boost guy question, why does the boost drop off some up top? Those are really sweet numbers for a 3.0. A few SIMPLE scenarios: Boost leak (doubtful) Turbo(s) can't flow enough (shouldn't be an issue in this case) Wastegate spring unable to hold Electronic Boost Controller settings not dialed in (actuator isn't reacting fast enough to keep curve flat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I need to a search on this car. I havent heard of it.

Main3s Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 car need a finer tune and higher shift point! I don't think Brian tuned it, I think he just put it on the dyno to get numbers. There are very few people in the us that can tune these from what I understand. Here are a few pics I got with my phone... http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/cmaines01/pic2.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/cmaines01/05120911561.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic_Influx Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I remember being at one of the shops where they do work on these suckers during a road rally of ours (ZROC) and sitting in one; they are so sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUPITTSBURGH427 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I saw one on Henderson the other day in the parking lot by life styles, I was happy to see it. It was the only one outside of Good Guy's I've seen. It was grey, but I can't remember if it had the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 straight up badass cars! you don't see many around because the engine and chassis are sold as seperate pieces to qualify for kit car laws(lets just say they probably wouldn't pass our crash testing, lol, though they are sold as a regular car in europe because the laws are more enthusiast friendly over there). the only US dealer was 1G racing in hamilton ohio, but they changed their name to rossion automotive and apperantly relocated to florida. a few years back they bought the rights to the M12/M400 from noble(they replaced it with the M15), and started producing their own version called the Q1(same performance, more luxurious interior). noble is developing a new car, the M600, right now. it has a twin turbo volvo V8 making ~630HP, and word has it that its performance will be along the lines of the ferrari enzo and porsche carrera GT!
