Triumph Sedan on dyno

[jessamine809]

is that the same engine as in the tr6?  what mods have you made vesides the supercharger?

[trumpsix]

@jessamine809 same as tr6, carbs no fuel injection, no supercharger. That is the Dyno making the whistling noise. big cam, headwork, compression, good exhaust system, lots of time!

[sierraxr4icosie]

Im loving the rear quarter bumpers thare, what thay off of?

[trumpsix]

@sierraxr4icosie thanks mate, custom made from 2 rear triumph bars. I wanted a mk 1 Lotus Cortina, but this will have to do!

[sierraxr4icosie]

@trumpsix Ace! I would love to do that to mine but i dont think it would look to good with a towbar lol

Cruising it sounds like a very nice 2.5 inline 6 with a perfect burble out the back, as all good Triumphs should.

However, on full throttle this machine turns into a beast that leaves you with an ever expanding smile. The induction noise and exhaust note completely transform, sounding nothing like the mild mannered cruiser of just seconds before.

Much respect to the hours of work and money (well spent) on this car, it is truly an amazing bit of engineering.

[zxhoon]

This car is a work of art, far more than just the engine and drive train, the interior and exterior are very tasteful and well presented.

I feel rather privileged to say I have had a ride in this vehicle once, a number of years ago.

@zxhoon thumb up on that one, my father have one but in now horrible condition(just been standing for 9 years) :( but im not gonna let him give it to the junkyard.... im gonna fix it and drive it if he doesnt care

[Gareththedrummer]

Ah, the sound of 6 in a row brings a tear to my ear!

I think of it as half a V12!

Soon I will post a video of my '78 'S'. It's not a nice as yours though.

[trumpsix]

Big cam, some head work, big compression, extractors triple su carbs standard bore, mod distributor check out triumphowners tasmania website for all the full info! , cheers, stu

[danwright86]

iv got a pi whats been done to the engine

[paulhunter123]

be great to see some more of this very underated classic.

[paulhunter123]

id sooner listen to this music. Tell me is the engine stock or modified?

Sounds like some forced induction ?

[trumpsix]

All naturally aspirated. Pretty heavily modified, but all triumph. the whistling in the video is the dyno spinning up. ran it to 6200 rpm and about 200kmh

[lewis72]

Doesn't the 2500 havve a crank resonance at about 6500?

I had a 2.5PI. It was red lined at 5500rpm!

[trumpsix]

yeah they do! they will rev past it, but there is not much point. they just sound good, but its all over by about 6300 anyway!

[zxhoon]

The 2l reved fine to 7k in my 2000MKII :D

remember metec, no point changing from first to second in the auto as it wouldnt shift back, just left it in 1st doing 70ks an hour haha such a great engine!

[paulhunter123]

wowzerrs how sweet is this

[trumpsix]

thanks mate! I just never get sick of it! Have not used the radio in ages!
