SiCaln Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 yea roll on the map Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 yeah, im thinking of getting it mapped to 1-1.2 bar to start with. till i get used to it. its so mental at 5psi on the standard map its unreal. its faster than it ever has been now. and its still running in and is unmapped. and the car wasnt slow before... i dont think im man enough for 2 bar just yet. thatll give me time to sort the headbolts out aswell.

scutch0 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 gotta love a bit of diy work.i thought you already had a pipe coming off the turbo to fit the filter behind the light mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 nice build mate...on another note, about running it in, isnt taking it up to 6000k after only 160 miles is a bit crazy surely? most new built engines are run in for at least 1000miles or so around the 4k mark...

ecksjay Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 nice build mate...on another note, about running it in, isnt taking it up to 6000k after only 160 miles is a bit crazy surely? most new built engines are run in for at least 1000miles or so around the 4k mark...if its gentle, what does it matter?there are many conflicting reports on 'how' to run an engine in, with no facts being given to back them up, its just hearsay.some people say you should give it death from the start, some people say you should be a complete fairy - its up to you which you do really.rick chose the tc method.if i was running mine in, it'd be filled with a mixture of urine, semen and the crushed limbs of newborn babies.

Guest Enzo Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 yea thats true, some are of the view if something bad was to happen it would happen within the first 50-100 miles anyway so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 its all personal preference geo, just depends how each individual wants to do things, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that either way is more destructive or less effective than another.if it goes pop, then bothered, he can get a car thats driven from the right end then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 yeah, i dont subscribe to the softly softly approach. i drive my cars hard. and i dont want to pootle this about, then get to the dyno and find out theres something wrong. give it hell from the start, if something is going to break it would have by now. nd im not screaming the tits off it to 6k its a built up speed at 1/4 throttle. and the most boost shes seen is about 5 psi. also, i did have a filter pipe that went behind the light. but, i want it in the bumper. last time i checked headlights were not too good at leting to much cold air though. also 2, i got me some carbon fibre and strted fecking bout. they aint finished yet but look pro. glovebox.petrol cap.
