Got my car back (Big Turbo)

[devonmikeyboy]

You will not loose 10 bhp and 10 lb torque. This is a diesel not a petrol car so you probably will not loose much if any peak bhp but the torque lowered to 320-330 lb you would get a lot less smoke when the turbo is spooling up. As i PM`d you already smoke is unburnt diesel.What Jabba is doing is adding too much diesel for the amount of air the turbo is sucking into the car especially when off boost in a bad attempt to get the turbo to spool up quicker. It produces high torque figures but makes the car smoke like hell. Peak bhp which is reached much later in the rev range when the turbo is on full boost shouldn`t be affected really as you will still be injecting max amount of diesel, it`s just that your injectors will not max out so soon. Sorry but in my humble opinion that is nothing more then bad mapping but bhp and torque figures sale not how the car drives or what the bhp/torque graph looks like. Sad but true.

guessing you had a lot of experience in this whole diesel thing.... i must admit i would havenever had a diesel until i owned one now look im just on the quest for more power its all good and will have a blast home from allards once done he he. ps dont half know ya stuff man!!!

sooty the conversion took 6days but that included coilovers, clutch, ARB spacers, big turbo and mapping dunno how quick allards turn it around.

Mikey I'm going to go back to jabba to have my 312's fitted anyway and i was out tonight with bro following me and he said when i booted it he couldn't see hardly nything he said it was like a thick fog so i am going to have to do something about it so when i go i think i will be asking mike to have another play around with it, so just to re-cap i need to ask him to try not injecting as much fuel lower down the rev range? after tonight's affairs i think i really do need to get the smoke problem sorted will update as an when. just been to my bro's garage fitting hid's and de-badged the car with just a small jabba sticked in the bottom right hand corner in my opinion it looks sweet will be posting a thread tomorrow to get some pics up so have a look i think it looks alot better.

Do i get a ride tomorow bud??

 

[sooty22]

justgot off the phone to allards and they think the conversion will take around 4 days but im getting the clutch which is the big job, cant wait lol, mikey_H know this may be a stupid question but was the power increase a big improvement cxant wait to see the results thats all lol.

 

[rashcupra]

CAN I ASK HAVE YOU UPRATED YOUR ENGINE MOUNTS DEVONMIKEYBOY????

No and don`t intend to. I would rather the engine mounts twist and bend then the forces be put through my engine.

 

[rashcupra]

what do you sugest in my problem the gaskets will keep blowing unless the monts are changed im suprised my engine dont hit the bonnet it rocks so much driveshafts will take more stick aswell im imagining

 

[m0rk]

do you not have a flexi on your downpipe?

 

[rashcupra]

yeah i do but this isnt enough obviosly

 

[Mikey_H]

Do i get a ride tomorow bud??

yea mate will take you out dunno how i'm going to keep it clean though :s will have to clean it every 5mins, also the weather is ment to be crap tomorrow and when it rains the soot sticks even more had t.spark found anywhere for us to clean our cars tomorrow

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Maybe somebody is talking bull shite ( as usual ) so as to get you to pay towards fixing your car this time after they didn`t sort the problem the last time it went up there with this problem.

mate honestly it makes a HUGE difference seems to hold the power through the whole rev range but i will say Avrs has a Allards turbo so need to ask him really, before when i used to race my bro's 260bh golf i used to hold him for about 2 secs then change and he kept going whereas now when we both floor it i pull straight infront and keep pulling when i change he obviously gains some back on me but i was really impressed although i don't know how allards turbo's are

It does completely transform the way the power is delivered. Holds the power like Mikey said through the rev range but how the power is managed is more down to the map and I think mine, Mikey's and yours when it's done will all be slightly different due to different people mapping them and mine is done in a live mapping situation on the road rather then rollers so again will be different. I'll be able to tell you my full thoughts hopefully next week when I've had my FMIC fitted and the car's been back for the map to be tweaked. Will update you when I've had time to play.

c'mon people what do you think of the drive by video?? Alex do you think that vid does it justice me and bro's and everyone else don't think it does

It sounds lush! bet it goes well! Oh i'd love my car to be that nice!

Christ you have'nt got a FMIC, you will defo notice a difference once thats on.

 

[AvRS]

Yeah I know it was because I had a turbo failure so the hybrid was a forced decision and I never had enough to pay out for an FMIC, however I still don't I'm using my overdraft. Can't wait to get it fitted.

thats mdding cars for ya, you don't see many people into cars who don't rack up a bit of debt for em. Viscous addiction, sometimes i think smack heads have got it easy cmpared to car lovers......lol
