Lol , I am too , not making excuses and not saying this as a get out
But it's also gonna be a good test of modding on a budget ?

Can you do things on the cheap or not , I use and thrash the car daily and have done around 8k since I've started modding it , it's now on 143k
And I suppose the only test left is what power is it producing

So we've got a £2k bug with 143k Miles on it
Spent £390 on mods
And mapped by a bloke in a shed
So far it's done around 8k on said mods
And I would like to see it produce a minimum of 300bhp
I'm sure this don't happen often ?

 

318

 

Not exactly as I said using airflow etc you can get a good idea but I keep tinkering from very easy timing to a tad more boost to less boost and leaner spoolup etc. So many variables that every day (10 months on from the start) that I open the laptop in the car, is a learning day.
Will be interested to see how toneh gets on with his carberry setup which is a very different way to how I am doing it.

 

Sicko

Only you would want to bum 200 men.

 

I'm proud of it, what's your excuse?

 

You're joking right , there are often threads on here that involve quite a few men getting that far up one mans bobster it's a wonder its not a record

 

Lol.,,.

Anyhow im going for 287bhp and i will have coco in my mug

 

fpmsl

 

Good luck

 

308.9 Can I have a left handed mug please?

 

317/310.......bang*!


*bang optional

 

If you're correct mate you can have a universal one

 

You can't have 3 attempts , 1 guess only

 

What kind of shed mapper are you, the second figure is torque!!

The third parameter is long term outcome!!




(seriously though, it will be interesting to see what the outcome is, might ruffle a few feathers!)

 

We not doin torque now , we scrapped it earlier in the thread
Yeah I'm looking forward to it

 

338.5 BHP.

I've been out in it.

Good luck mate.

 

Cheers mate , I would be well chuffed with that

 

Come on then, what was the result then?

 

Lol , hang on let me get my excuse bag out

 

Lol, what happened? Didn't you do a power run or was it down on bhp?

 

Lol nah , it was pretty un eventful
In the end I bobbed out and mapped my boost down , thinking that I'd be better having a sensible run rather than trying to push it
I'll list the reasons when the flack starts lol

So the amazing figure was ,,,,, 260,,,,

And the winner is

 

Sounded a smelt nice though....

 

Lol , do I get a bonus point for nice smelling car

 

It all adds to the experience!

 

It's all an experience too me mate

Folks think I'm probably disappointed ,but for me it went well and considering how much i dropped the boost this morning and how its mapped to drop off the power result is probably whats to be expected it also has confirmed a couple of things about mapping
More power would have been nice but the other results I've got are more important to me at the moment

 

It's not miles off tony, you just need to work on that boost control more than anything without boosting too high.

 

260? Serious?

 

It's not mate at all , with hindsight I could have run and held more boost , but I wasn't 100%
( no point in trying to be a hero )
I now know im all good to start tweaking back up , the only question is how much ?

 

Yeah dead serious , I was getting random spikes which I wasn't happy with and rather than trying to impress everyone with a super duper power run , I backed the boost off to 17peak dropping to 10 redline
Don't forget with my dodgy methods I'm pretty sure fuel ect is ok
But as it turns out it is ok ,
Like I say knowing what I now know I could have kept the boost up
But you live and learn

 

I'm surprised it didn't make more even at 17psi....
