Socks Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 So....Head Stripped Down1 Valve & Valve Seat ReplacedAll Valves Cleaned & InspectedHead Skimmed & Pressure TestedBrand New Athena 1.2mm MLS HeadgasketBrand New ARP HeadboltsBrand New Custom Spec Garrett GTX Billet Wheel TurbochargerAll Built up and Mapped up!All thanks to a fucking spark plug!Well, the cars back! At Last!Collected it yesterday afternoon!After a good clean...I asked Ricky to take it to the same boost pressure as before as I just wanted the poor thing back to enjoy for summer...I also said if he can get any of the torque back that I lost on the previous map/turbo that would be great...He took the boost up to 2.2bar and brought it in much harder mid range...The Results Are:426.0bhp/314.5lbft @ 2.2bar Which caused me to very nearly fall off of the chair I was sat on if I'm honest...Amazing what a small increase in compressor wheel can do! Still spools wicked fast too!Injectors were getting close to maxing again. But there is more in it believe it or not, but Myself & Ricky had a chat and chose not to push it anymore.Ricky also said on some earlier pulls he had seen it over 350lbft too, but tamed the boost down mid range to save the poor gearbox and keep it nice and progressive and less like a lightswitch! So, I have the car back, it is a chuffing handful and wicked fast. Big Smiles that were needed big time after the last 2 weeks I've had!I'll let Azz, Chand, Nick at TD and Any Others chasing big numbers on here try some unknown territory of 4E-FTE performance for a change now, I'm sick of not having my car! Going to enjoy it for summer! Plans now are to rebuild the interior, a lot of the plastics need refitting and the carpet needs to go back in. It needs a chuffing good clean all over too, but I'm working today!Ill get some fresh snaps when its detailed and some videos over the weekend if I can! Cheers for the kind posts folks!
