Pre and Post Boost Controller Power

[enigma]

Anytime! Believe me you wont be sorry! I hought it was some plumbing arse about face, glad its sorted.......just dont get greedy! I run standard boost 95% of the time, I only switch to turbo nutter bar steward mode when someone thinks they are going to have me!

I will do the same, have 4 programable modes so will get a low,standard and high mode set up and use the 4th to tinker with

Probably get bashed for saying this but if you can alter settings to increase pressure, could you in fact stop or lower pressure aswell to the extent of almost turning the turbos off to increase fuel economy? and drive the car as if it was almost a normal 2.5 V6 car.

Glad the problem is sorted too!

The car is designed to run with boost pressure, turn it off completely and I think you will find the efficiency will be poor which will not really improve fuel consumption.

I have mine now running at a steady 1.0bar top setting.

To try and get a direct comparison, I mirrored BDA's Apexi RSM power loss settings and seem to peak around 305Ps - my 1/4 mile reduced to 14.09, but still need to tinker with the "Gain" setting to reduce the 0-62mph time (5.6s best so far). So more fun to be had yet on the "private" test track

Recorded best 0-62mph tonight - 5.39s - however overall power reduced slightly to 295PS - still more fun to be had here I think :-D

hey fellas what is the maximium boost you run your motors at

[enigma]

I run at 1.05Bar, but I have found that there is not a lot of difference running at 1.0Bar. I guess it is due to the extra heat that is generated causing higher inlet temps and therefore a less dense mixture.

im running my motor at 18 Lb again

lets see how long it lasts

hopefully till i get the other one rebuilt

[enigma]

What happened to the other one???? Melted pistons by any chance??!

How much for a rebuild?

Do you notice much difference at 18psi from 15psi? are you running water injection or a custom intercooler? Have you run any times yet? And can you make the southern meet on the 15th February in Swindon.....it would be great to see your car!

[FTOLTD]

im in australia and i notice big differance between 15 and 18 and yes melted pistons. It is in FTO and has a few mods, yes to FMIC and has big single turbo, to many mods to list. will let you know price of rebuild when finished.

[enigma]

I guess that means you wont be coming to Swindon then

Any idea what sort of numbers you are running?

Power

Torque

0-100kph

1/4 mile

Mine are below:

290BHP @5450 rpm

~400lb/ft as an estimated figure from a power run

5.14

14.7ish

here is a link to some pics and dyno graphs.

Been having problems getting a clutch that will hold you can see in the latest graph where it lets go and the one before that where it nearly let go.

currently running a custom made twin plate and it lets go at 1800 Lb tractive effort, not sure what that is in Ft Lb as there seems to be some disagreement between some folks on the forums to as to what it is, dosent really worry me as untill we can get a clutch to hold we wont be sure of what it can do.

On the last dyno it lets go at 4900 Rpm so if we can get the clutch to hold there is more room for improvment
