Fabia TDI - in car acceleration video

[devonutopia]

Following engine rebuild and a few more mods, initial testing of my Skoda Fabia went well and performance is pretty good. I am sure there will be more to come though once my 4 year old mapping is updated.

Blow up your turbo, then spend 5 months and lots of hard earned modifying the engine to death.

Bear in mind as well as the turbo this engine is now running an equal length tubular exhaust manifold, alloy intake piping to remove pancake restriction, larger exhaust valves, a lot of head porting (had a secnd breathing on by Jabba) and also a rather nice Dbilas race camshaft. The turbo alone is damn good I will admit, but it really needs complementing with other bits too.

Well, since this I broke the new turbo....

Long story involving an old EGT probe damaged when the first turbo popped, but the end result is I had to send the turbo back to Romania to be rebuilt.... Not too costly in the end thankfully - About £400 including shipping back & forth.

The turbo is on its way back to me now so should be up and running in a week or so.

Loving where is makes the power, 4k+ rpm!!! who needs a petrol! Any ideas on MPG figures with the new setup?

 

[devonutopia]

Probably better than when it was stock. Being relatively gentle gets me 60mpg indicated and I am sure it will average out at about 50mpg as it used to before. Once i have it back I will start logging litres bought to miles done, to get a real idea.

I'd love to do this to my VRS!

 

[georgebibizafr]

[AndrewJB]
