Devonmikeyboy passes the 300bhp and 400lb torque level from a 2L diesel.
- Thread starter devonmikeyboy
- Start date
The head will be off before 10k miles mate trust me 
. I am not having a go but if you could hear the engine knocking after having the propane fitted why did you not think that something was wrong and sort it out rather then keep on driving for 20k miles. Where was the metal bits found since surely if they had gone through your turbo the turbo would have been damaged ?

I might be heading down your way in the summer and if I i'm popping in
Love to see it running rings around most things can you get any videos of it?

Going back to Interpro for more power runs this saturday so i will try to remember to take a few videos this time.

Where is interpro mike? not got anything planned so may pop down if its not too far, is it near allards?
Turbo was marked & nope noise wise I didnt know about the knocking, I'm sure it would have sounded different but it's hard to know as it was set up like this and I was told it was at the lowest setting
Regarding driving it for 10k longer - no choice due to working hours at the time, was doing 16+ hours/day with drive to/from site included daily,6 days a week for a month.
In either case, I was expecting no knocking at that setting as I was told it was a very low setting and it wasn't set up by me, any change in sound I would have considered a normal effect of adding propane - no reference.
The kinda knocking sounds I got on my Pug 205 when running on unleaded instead of SUL sounded very different and metally, the sounds I was getting from the engine were not like that at all.
Either way, I reckon when I take it to an experienced mapper (see PMs) I should have a more positive outcome
PS No offence taken at all, although it was an expensive way of finding out about knocking consequences

Just got back from Interpro and the car is now 327bhp and 411lb torque. The power would have been higher but i am now getting clutch slip which is a bit worrying as i already have a custom Kevlar clutch fitted with uprated pressure plate. I took a few snaps while i was there plus a few videos which i am up loading to photo bucket now. Personally i think the best video is the one when i did a close up of how little if any smoke there is from the exhaust when under hard acceleration.
New dyno graph with power dieing off after 327bhp through clutch slip.

When/if i get my uprated injectors and bigger turbo set up fitted there should be alot more power. The car is producing more then 327 bhp but the clutch starts to slip when the engine produces more the 410 lb torque. Already had head work done mate. Next thing to get is a higher torque rated clutch which i have a bad feeling is going to be a real pain in the ass to acquire. I need a clutch to hold 500lb torque or more so if anyone has any suggestions or knows of any custom clutch places let me know.
that bloody impressive!! i got 300lb foot out of a HDI and that was quick, that must be bloody amazing lol

@devonmikeyboy!To can support torque up for680Nm,(500lbf-ft), you can use a 2 disc sinter metal clutch for AP-Racing,or Alcon,orSachs,or....another RACING firmware with very best results.
Ex.Apracing:CP2125CRV ,orCP2125ACRV
184mm 2 Plate 'A' Ring Sintered Clutch
765Nm, (564 lb/ft)
For montage is not problems,the Set up height Max worn is 33,8 mm.
Anyhow,you must forget to use von this torques,a singel plate clutch!!!
I wait to say what power you have with big injectors,(PD),and VT7,without nos and propan.I think this is really interest for majority of us!
Best regards of all!!

amazing how little smoke there is.You must have alot money,
You don't know if the car in mid to longer term can take that much crap getting thrown into the engine and if you run out of nos and proprane what are you running?
running 327bhp and engine is stilll newish will the gearbox and engine take it?
and if you spend all the more expense on fitting internals and new clutch did you not consider a evo?
but what i like is you don't give a sh$t about anything i just said!!
so hats off!

I'll be happy just to be at 280 odd to be honest. This car is quick, and it's time I got another test drive after I broke it the last time....
Maybe after I get mine worked on to get some comparability.
Mike - do me a favour. Please don't go to GTI international this year. I want the diesel class cup this time.

Will have finally enough next month to get the whole clutch replaced and exhaust done then it's easily over 210bhp. then stripped may get lighter sports seats and roll cage (it'll be my second vechicle now) and coliovers, i should be on the real limits of traction for the size car and should be on less 6secs 0-60. and run flat 14sec 1/4's purrrfect
