Still not happy with the LC...

[jamiebennett81]

I did wonder about the TIP - as they were on a weakness on my old car ... I dont mind coughing up £120 as long as it FIXES the car

Trouble is awesome will want about £100 + VAT to put it on the rolling road + diagnosis charge + cost of the TIP if it needs it = lots of money

From the coil figures you can see I'm not getting any misfires mate...

still £220 to fix the car for a problem solved I think is easily justified

fair do's on the coils then

car will be a little quicker as well with the TIP due to the increased air intake capacity, as the standard pipe and the metal TIP which fits onto the turbo is very restrictive. boost may be held for a little while longer

here is the comparison of the stock and Neuspeed intake

the Forge one replaces the metal TIP, but is about the same increased diameter as the Neuspeed metal intake, and WONT collapse

Looks collapsed as standard

 

[Mr OCD]

Forgive me ignorance but I thought the TIP was plastic / rubber hence it collapses?

Do the logs that I have run look ok to all? - specifically timing / timing pull as I dont understand these figs?

 

[Mr OCD]

Also how does Group 032 show vacuum leaks?>

in essence it is rubber yes, but wont collapse

it's made from a strong high silicon rubber which does not collapse and is a lot thicker than the standard pipe so it stays stiff

Well to be honest if awesome say it 'could' be the TIP and feel pretty confident about it but want to put it on the RR to confirm its going to cost me 100 notes either way so might just replace it anyway

 

[Mr OCD]

Can see why I got confused now ...

The TIP is aluminium and doesnt collapse... its uprated to flow better.

The part I need is the silicone induction pipe - its this that collapses on the standard car over time ... Awesome do FORGE and APR hoses ... about the same price.

there are two options:

the Neuspeed metal TIP, which replaces the standard metal one, but still uses the standard silicon hose, which could be the part at fault here

the Forge silicon hose, replaces the metal TIP completely and standard rubber intake pipe, and wont collapse like the standard one

When a car has a remap, surely the OEM plug gaps are then redundant?

Have you recalibrated your plug gaps specific to your remap...?

plug gaps arnt touched when remapped afaik

 

[6th.replicant]

plug gaps?

Spark plug gaps - the distance between the centre-electrode & the side-electrode.

 

[Mr OCD]

Not touched the plugs... just chucked in brand new BOSCH plugs and was done with it.

 

[LEE69]

Generally you close the gap a touch on tuned turbo cars, i'd check with a tuner to see what they say.

 

[Mr OCD]

Worth pulling the plugs and re-gapping?

What should they be set too on a remapped car?

 

[LEE69]

No idea mate sorry, best giving a tuner a call and ask there advice.

 

[Mr OCD]

Ok - what are the gaps standard?

Cant be arsed with ringing the tuner as its always a ball ache.
