I just looked after i posted where you live in your profile.... may be touch to far for a sunday..!!

Dan

 

Just a dismal note of caution David, not to pi$$ on your bonfire really, learning myself on the following I am afraid...

Would a TD05 overspeed at 26 PSI do you think? This would be a PR of 2.8 even assuming zero inlet tract restriction and no pressure drop across your IC. Might be more like 2.9. That has to be over 170000 RPM and possibly more like 200000 RPM if it is a 15G wheel? Could go supersonic and the blade tip disappear. It seems I managed to overspeed a VF at only 22 PSI manifold pressure. Don't want you to fill your nice new FMIC or potentially your engine with compressor blades. I think Andy F's TD05 compressor wheel was suffering at somewhere between 22 and 26 PSI.

It would still be nice to see figures from your car at a boost pressure that is a bit safer, and a figure at say 20 PSI could be very respectable?

 

22psi (aprox 1.55 bar) ..... John were u pushing 22psi at higher rpm's, and was your hybrid VF turbo damaged ?????

Looking good m8 .

OOOO Drag racing, now your tallking. Im near york at the mo, and will be at Elvingon tomorrow. Get thew mixture closer to 11.5/12.0:1 and it should be better at WOT. 10.5 is very rich.

 

omg,
followed this for 51 pages.........















and it's a wagon!!!!!

Just heard from David, hope he doesn't mind, he got, if I recall correctly, 345bhp!

 

Sounds great. What boost was he running?

 

22psi peak with 14(?)psi held.

The car sounded great! I think everyone held their breath each time the engine was run up on the rollers

Having had a poke around under the bonnet all I can say is wow - David is a most ingenious young man!

 

OK, so apart from the obvious FMIC what else has changed on the car for it to produce 345BHP??

Edited to ask if that includes the NOS??

[Edited by ricco - 10/27/2002 5:02:47 PM]

 

Excellent result David. Why did the boost vary so much?? 22psi-14psi?? Thats a big drop??

 

glad someone else noticed that too also


Andy

 

Yeah... congrats David... very nice run. Must admit... i was expecting your car to explode. Glad it didn't though. You put up a good show for the 5 doors

You've probably already got it but i've got your run on vid if you want a copy.

 

35bhp and 341 lbft torque.

No it doesnt include nitrous.

this was done on a run where it held 22psi throughout, it was the last 2 runs that dropped to 14psi.

Waterinjection, bigger injectors, standard turbo, DIY FMIC and thats it...

....oh and the home made remap

Well done mate, you beat me for alot less cash.

Steve

 

excellent result david, well done

ian

 

35bhp
Is that all

Andy

 

LOL... Cheers.

Ill post tomorrow... need a rest... and waiting for a well deserved curry..

David

 

Fantastic. However, this begs the question, what's next?

Also running WideBand Lambda Temporarily... And running with lambda control on the ecu disabled (whilst mapping with W/B)

Max Power 345 at 6400bhp
Max Torque looks about 340lbft @ 4600rpm (graph doesnt say peak or revs)

Will be returning shortly as some people think they saw higher.. and I have a slight dip in power at 5100rpm.. (think this was due to some knock and the ecu retarding the timing)

So will look at the timing again after a rest... also need to sort boost control out as the map sensor was bodged in...

David

 

Meant to say 345bhp

Still on for lunch David?

Steven

 

12.30

David

 

Superb!

Well done David!

What are you going to do with you time now?

And there was me with a smile after purchasing a new back box and I haven't even fitted it yet.. you must be beeming!

Again well done.

JGM

 

Awesome.
Truly Awesome.

 

David, excellent results. When you say running with the wideband lambda and the factory lambda disabled - do you mean you just unplugged the factory sensor or did you do something in software?

 

See you there

 

We disabled closed loop control in the software then unplugged it... so we could have the w/band in the downpipe with display on the dashboard...

Slight problem with timing circa 6k revs... going to also bring Water Injection in earlier due to advice from R19KET and Trout..

What to do next??

Chase 400bhp.. More boost, move torque curve lower down etc..

front entry td05 with 18g Compressor wheel next and custom Inlet pipe next..

Suggestions for next DIY thread?

David

 

DIY 400BHP Project?

DIY Turbo mods?



JGM

 

Weren't you after a six speed gearbox from an STI7? What about DIY gearbox change?
Whatever it is I can't wait. I've learnt loads from this thread over the last few months.
