Nope, whats the point?

 

I presume slightly quicker spool

 

So I spend an extra £150 for the billet conversion, plus needing a £150 remap, £300 for what 2/300rpm quicker spool?

I am more of the school - If you have lag you are in the wrong gear....

Really the next worthwhile mod regarding spool would be some cams and more revs

 

Ps I`m in the same situation with the s206 as you. Any idea how much the rebuild is ?

 

195+vat, 5 day turn around

Would much rather drop it a cog or wait for 200rpm! than pay 350+vat for the billet

 

Might just do that then.

 

Yeah I cant say I have seen the point in it so far. I am flowing more than the turbo can handle anyways so i will need a bigger turbo anyways

 

What is the limit of the 206 bhp wise and what turbo you looking at gt30/35?

 

Well according to Turbo Technics its 500hp, the s215 is 550hp

So im knocking on the door of the supposed limit with no meth. at 485hp.

we saw over 520ft/lb and 540hp on the meth mix at one point but we were over speeding the turbo and getting all kinds of strange plots on the graph. So we wound it back so we got a normal ish looking graph at 532hp.

and bare in mind mate, this is all on standard heads and cams... and now mine continues to build/hold the power all the way to redline, it doesnt start dropping off at about 6.5k anymore

 

Is it the manifold that helps to hold the it all the way?

 

YUP!!!! worth every penny

 

Too rich for me lol

 

Transforms the car, I dont know about rich, its one hell of alot cheaper than cams, springs, solid shims, retainers etc....

 

It`s never ending, and at 507bhp in a classic is enough for me I`ve come to the point after 7 years that's enough

 

it is plenty, I shall be tracking it alot next year

 

This is a complete hijack mate but do you have a spare boot lid?

 

probably the only place where you can really use this sort of power

 

No mate, I dont have a spare boot lid, got a low level spoiler, but thats about it!

 

I think these shall be on the cards for the rear next year -

I was expecting something power related

I might join you when your ready see if we can get a better deal.SJ.

 

Do I not have enough power already?! haha! Im loving your toucan display, I need me one of those!

Oh really? Thats good to know, if you happent o come across a link on your travels let me know! As it would be interesting to see what it is like!

Thats not a bad shout, In th new year some time I shall be seeing about it. Need to find me a 2 post ramp first!

 

Toucans always make sense im just about able to use it properly after a month of having it haha

Ooooh, that is a nice build, liking the wing box for the air filter too...

More shiny stuff to buy

 

Just read that whole first thread on 22b . . wow

 

Yeah,t hose are some builds on there, and the TSSFab stuff will be on my shopping list soon.

Have ordered 2 pot caliper rebuild kits for the rear, grooved discs and brembo (ferodo ds2500) equivelant pads for the rears that should be here tomorrow

 

Well, today was mainly spent changing the brakes on the rear of the scooby...


So, first of all I started by rebuilding my calipers with Godspeed stainless pistons and new seals

Old V new



In the process -



and finished -


Then the new discs and pads -




And to put it all together on the car... Bled through and what not, so shall see how it goes when bedded in etc!
