hi guys

as above

just want to see how many people running this sort of power have high milage engines..

mines nearing 95k , hasnt caused me any problems at 320ish bhp

looking to jump up to 380ish , just want some reassurance lol

any high milage engines running this power?

cheers

 

mines at around 380ish and 96k went from standard to 330ish at around 25k then up to 380ish at around 50k and now at 96k and hasnt missed a beat. Just the normal routine stuff and a clutch if you havent had one already

 

thats re-assuring

mine should be the same by the end of next month.. just wasnt sure if everyone went forged .. or it wasnt worth it on a high milage car? mates fault really, putting thoughts in my head of it not hitting 100k lol i guess as long as you look after it , it'll look after ytou

 

thought abpout this myself, what can the type uk take? engine/drive train wise?

whats the next step eggy?

 

Newage STI drivetrain will take remortgage bashing amounts of power!

 

well im arranging a day with duncan to get my car mapped for the following

VF48 turbo with turbo blanket
3 port boost solenoid
harveys ported headers and special up pipe
650cc injectors

ive seen the above mapped at 380 , sothats what im hoping for .. maybe a lil more as i have the headers

currently just got panel filter, 3" turbo back exhaust decat.. walbro pump.. and dynamix map so 320ish on the vf35..with launch control

 

get it done mate milage doesnt matter .
It can go aypt anytime .
You ll only want more anyway .

 

update this please once u get results. cheers

 

whats a turbo blanket?

 

Nice one Eddy.

Give it a go mate.

Remember what I said. Don't know until you try.

It's like heat wrapping the exhaust side of the turbo

 

not being very technical - does it keep that part warm?

 

Keeps it hot, and keeps the heat away from such things as the intercooler.

 

ill defo be going ahead with it lol just dont wanna do a rebuild before the summer. Will be interesting to see how it performs at scoobyshootout in october.

as for the turbo blacket.. as i'm on top mount, i thought it would be useful as it will keep under bonnet temperatures down. they are also suppose to help with spool as the heat is kept in and if anyone has taken physics heat is wasted energy, and if have knowledge about thermodynamics then you know the less heat loss you have from the system the efficiency of the turbo is greater...apparently lol

 

That's worth an A* in A level physics these days!

I'd be interested to see how you get on with this eggy790, it's my next upgrade path, not quite yet though as I was only mapped a month ago. Let us know how it does!

 

No worries i will update you as soon as it is mapped.. its getting dyno mapped this time, at zen and then a tweak on the road so should be interesting.
