Steve Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Time for an update. After having trouble finding a misfire I have had as the car got warmer and under boost, I finally got it sorted Turns out the turbo was passing oil as it got warmer, going through into the intake and I can only guess lowering the octane level (hense the misfire when the car was warmer and the oil thinner). Well long story short I now have a replacement turbo which seems to have grown in size I still need to sort a permanent solution for the 5.5" inlet so I can run it to my 4" pipework. After that picture was taken I had to get creative with a 5" reducer just to get it going for now. I have been to see Ryan this afternoon for a little mapping so I can use the car at Suprapod but I wont get a figure until Ryan comes back from Australia and I can get it onto TDI's hub dyno. We got to 1.6bar for now but we shall go for more later on. On the Bosch injectors (900cc) with a base pressure of 46psi, we saw 74% duty iirc, Ryan did a quick calculation and reckons it is around 700bhp at present, but will wait for a printout before committing to that. However my arse dyno tells me its rather quick Hopefully Ryan will be able to comment before he goes away.

Kirk Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 No wonder its making that sort of power, even if it isnt confirmed.... i like it Whats the spool like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Spools fine tbh, but I was too busy looking ahead The higher rev limit helps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 The higher rev limit helps too What rpm limit do you have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 How is traction Steve ? I guess with this big BW tubbie, the torque will be quite high ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 How is traction Steve ? I guess with this big BW tubbie, the torque will be quite high ! I just kept planting my foot down and let the Syvecs take care of it . With no traction control 2nd gear is errr interesting, 3rd gear gets better and 4th is fine.
