What SPS settings do you run on your 20vt?

[Garth]

Just trying to get an idea of what settings all the Ibiza Turbo owners are running with what fuel.

Has anyone come across a setting that works better than others?

I run Timing 6, low boost 9 (std 98 RON program) on Optimax.
I was previously running std 95 RON program (timing 4, LB9) on Optimax, but changing the timing had no effect.

some ot the settings I commonly use,the sps3 box gets well used especially now ive moved the odb11 port.

low 9 timing 5 on opticrap
low 9 timing 4 on 95(very rare I do this)
high 2 timing 6 on ultimate
high 3 timing 8 on ultimate (with additive)
low 1 timing 5 (when mrs borrows car!)

hi

on your ibiza i saw you have removed the black strips on the door pillars, are these just tape sort of stuff and painted under them (i.e my saxo was) or did you get them removed and reprayed


cheers andy

they're a like a sticky tape, although thicker, i got a cody shop to do mine after i was broken into, looked a bit fiddly, but deejays more creative than me

so is the pillar painted behind?

When I use the Ibiza I like to run high boost 5 timing 5 with optimax or ultimate. In fact this setting tends to work well on all cars we do, more aggressive than default level yet not too much that it pulls back. With the weather as it is at the moment you can afford to run slightly higher boost/timing levels.

We were running high boost 5 timing 4 at Mallory on saturday, turned it down to low boost 9 timing 5 as we kept blowing off boost pipes (until we changed the clips!) it was boring after that so I switched back up to HB 5, T 5 once we'd dropped Rich off. Not before we saw a Leon R off at 140 though in the low settings. (bear in mind our car isn't stock anymore)

I use Optimax all the time so dont go in any other petrol stations very often so what is Ultimate if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Revo Kev]

Ultimate is BP's equivalent to optimax, seems to be as good.

 

[Jimmyboy]

Thanks for that.

Kev, I see you're running the timing at level 5. As the default 98ron program is timing 6, is there any benefit to this? Would it be better for my car to use a slightly lower timing than 6??

 

[Shock_Xe]

high 9 Timing 6/7 plus H n75, ran well for me..... before I changed spec

Revo: you letting on what your car is now??? Power wise/spec??

 

[Revo Kev]

It's going on the dyno this morning, we've not had it on one yet (in this guise). Goes well though.

Looking at using the Tesco's 99 Ron Stuff now that prices have come down, especially with the 5p off thing if you spend £50, so what settings do people use with that stuff?

Hasn't been mentioned in above posts as I don't think it was available then.

Read the guide mate, you can't just guess the optimum settings. It's all dependant on conditions and fuel quality. I'd say given the current weather conditions Boost 8 timing 7 would be okay to run, but without looking properly (as per the guide) I could only guess at settings... not the best way to set it up!

 

[Molehill_Mike]

I agree totally, M0rk helped me optimise the settings for the 95RON Program, and I'm hoping he might with the 98RON, (when I order those flippin washer things), but I just wondered up until we optimise them..

Thanks for link tho,

Mike
