Hey guys,

My cars just finished having a few goodies fitted down at Chris Palmer Motorsport, few things where knackered so had too be replaced (decat, lamda sensor and uprated panel filter) was wondering if you all thought the mods sounded good, and if possible what power figures i could potentially achieve...

Car is being mapped tomorrow by Bob Rawle ;-)

RCM headers and up-pipe
RCM open kneck decat
Nice new lamda sensor
Walbro 255 fuel pump
RCM induction kit (with cold air feed from bonnet scoop)
5Zigen 2 3/4" exhaust system
VF34 with uprated owen developments actuator
Prodrive 3 port boost solenoid
Dump valve blanked
ECUtek ecu remap (Bob Rawle magic touch)
Standard TMIC but with prodrive y pipe

Guidance much appreciated...

hi are you sure you should blank your dv off m8 340bhp

 

Should see about 340 BHP, i think your maf and injectors will restrict things to around the 350 bhp mark

 

Maf shouldnt affect things at all, as there are many cars around running 450+ with standard MAF.

so long as i break the 300 barrier i shall be happy :-D

hopefully got an engine in mind to be buying and putting in later on in the year :-D (currently running over 500bhp)

 

with regards too dump valve being blocked, have been advised too.
plus the VF34 is a ball bearing turbo so can happily run without a dump valve.

 

my sc 46 is a ball bearing turbo .been told it will not last with out a dv.if i was you i would check first befor you blank it you will make 300 easy may be 340 will be fast car ,are you going to silverstone if its ok

 

All work has been carried out by guys in the know, fingers crossed for nearer 340 lol

all depends on funds :-D

 

Thought the IHI VF turbos are a bit weak and may get killed during compressor surge?

Certainly should see North of 300 bhp.

 

If the maf hits 5 volts which usually happens around 350 it can't be scaled for any more gain mate.
That said a classic with 350 on the quick spool of the vf 34 will make for a very fun and quick car mate good luck with Bob

 

I have an MY99 with 350 BHP and its the ultimate road car lighter than an newage so about as quick as one with 450 BHP
Loads of fun on the road blowing away 80k motors, golf gti tried to get away from me today so i floored it and shot past they caught up with me at the lights and could see them cowering like two scared rabbits in my mirror

 

Haha good stuff!

Well that's the aim is too get a nice figure with the mods above :-D no point in chasing power figures! I want something that drives rapid!

Any input on dumpvalve-less???

 

Good news and bad news from mapping.

Good news is that the car pulled like a train.... But on e bob started to put 1.4 - 1.5bar thru engine the clutch started slipping :-(

So have too wait now too have updated exedy clutch fitted and then the final stages of mapping can be finished :-D

Roll on Tuesday!!!

 

Dead chuffed for you spook and sorry to hear about the clutch,more expense aye lol!!
What did Bob's bum dyno tell him about power?

 

Well hopefully near 340 but couldn't continue due too slipping clutch so shall find out next week :-D

Only downer is the expense of the clutch on top lol!

 

Nice to have good power with good spool though mate i should imagine.

I'd like to see about these 34's as looking into more power.

What is the spool like?

 

Very good mate,on the road you will have instant power as good as when your above 3.5k rev's!!

 

Have not driven yet, car is still at the tuners :-(

Will let you know mr chips next week.

Been told that before yet had the clutch slip that the turbo was very punchy :-D
