..mine!! Dyney,Disco and myself kinda had an "issue" when fitting the Dawes device yesterday The result was 2.1bar and wheel spin in 4th at 60-odd mph

..it didnt blow up which was a billy-bonus and was stupidly quick

..now set to a more sedate 1.2 bar..

..any ideas what sort of power 2.1 bar on an MY99 UK car would be?

 

I am Suprised it did not over boost?

Do you have crap tyres? Was it there ice on the road?

I would be alarmed if a 4WD car was wheelspining in 4th gear!

 

Too scary to contemplate... 2.1bar? Amazed it didn't blow up!

 

anyone here remember le mans the year renault finally won?

porsche hot faourites but all the 936s had to pit after one lap as the new wastegates fitted for race were faulty and they were rpoducing over 3 bar boost on straight !

 

Surely you must have hit the fuel cut......or did you remove it as well?

f

 

Image doctor:

..it did on occassions - not all the time tho

..no and no but the ambient temps were very cold and it was wet..

..you were alarmed??!! I damn near crapped meself!! and Dyney went a bit quiet too..

 

Floyd - Fuel cut was still in place .. its being removed soon tho

..you know me, I'm not technically minded at all but this isn't a word of a lie.. I was astounded to say the least..

 

Richard,

How long did you run it at this boost?

Did you drive down say a bypass at this boost for example or did you back off/dump the clutch as soon as you saw such high boost?

Damian.

 

Damian - I declutched and put it into neutral and coasted into a lay-by and Dyney adjusted the dawes back, so it must have only been a second or two at that boost level..

 

There used to be an STi in Scotland which ran up to 2 bar of boost. Fully uprated internals, big VF15 turbo etc., but only ever ran this boost on Elf Turbo Racing Fuel. This car could also spin it's wheels in 4th gear, and was rumoured to produce about 450bhp running this sort of boost. For normal fuel/track use, about 1.3 - 1.6 bar was used.

 

Richard,

On my car when I had the Dawes device it would take a ~ 2 seconds for the fuel cut to come in so I guess you beat it to it.

Damian.

 

juns one hits 590 bhp so ull be hard pressed to beat that

 

ive got a Dawes on my car to and my fuel cut comes in about 16.5 - 17 psi which im sure is only just over a bar, so how come Richards fuel cut didnt come in on 2 bar?

Simon

 

You must hold the higher boost for a few seconds before fuel cut jumps in.

 

ah i see. ive just got mine bellow the fuel cut. how do you remove the cut, or is that just being greedy and my car will blow up faster?

Simon

 

u can buy a hks fuel cur defencer to raise it

 

Its there for a reason! Only remove/raise it if you have made other modifications that would allow this to be safe.

 

And I believe that the MY99-00 has a higher cut than the earlier cars too....Anyone know if the MY01-03 has a fuel cut and where it is?

Matt

 

LOL @ Rich, must have been a bit *ahem* rapid lol

 

did you throw your boxers away when you pulled into the layby lol. That boost would have scared me stupid.

I've had a held 20psi before (with no det ) and that was mental enough, let alone around 35psi

 

How well does it corner?
