well its 13h 15 mins till jgm comes to map my p1 , to say im excited is a understatement .

stu ;-)

 

Nice one i hope you get what your hoping for mate

 

vf35
fmic
stainless up pipe
stainless headers
induction
full decat
3port boost sel

hoping for 340 at least

any one know the max boost a vf35 can take ??

 

1.8 here

 

good stuff mate,

think u should get that no probs

 

good luck for today matey

 

Keep us posted, I have a very similar spec to you, once its stuck back together!! Will be interesting to see what to expect. I would be hoping for 350-360.

 

will do and thanks

not long now :-)

stu

 

Anything around 340/340 will be a result. Although if you're on the std 440 injectors, that might be a limitation.

Don't chase headline figures, that set up will be a cracking drive on the road (been there done that).

Shouldn't be necessary to run much more than 1.4/5bar peak boost

 

+1 to above its not the figure that matters but how it drives and delivers that power that really counts,good luck Stuart

 

Running 1.8 bar on a VF35 may be counter productive.
Contrary to popular opinion, more boost is not always the way to go. It is a trade off between boost and ignition advance and the VF35s I have been associated with have given their best a long way short of 1.8 bar. Once you exceed the efficiency threshold you are making a lot of hot air for very little power gain if any.

 

That's true Harvey iv got a RR printout with 1.4 peak and shows no more power,

 

well its done and what a top job simon did , 1.45 bar and we got 345 bhp and 350lb torque

the only snag was on the run home it dropped a big end :-(

so looks like a rebuild in in the pipe line

im proper pissed off , big time

stu

 

**** didn't expect that stu,very sorry to hear this mate with good power made.
Bet it felt good till that happened mate?

 

Gutted,good power figures but the end result is why id rather guesstimate my bhp etc, on the rollers on unworked engines (original internals) just seems to pop the shells,so it seems

 

sorry to hear this mate

 

101,000mile P1 engine, good innings but never nice

Simon

 

No real surprise then Simon,asking a 101,000 mile engine to handle 345/350 is a lot to ask tbho.
Still a real kick in the *** when you feel great for the extra umph you have just got then your motor throws the toys out of the pram.

 

101k ......foook me mine was 3 yr old with 27k and said goodnight

shame it went before you had time to play

 

I think it is more likely 101,000miles of oil changes with unlikely to have primed filter and engine before restarting etc and just 101,000miles on the bearings.. I don't think it is necessarily the power.. just obviously it need to be exercised to map it.. so any underlying issue is just going to rear its head then.

 

Couldn't agree more,always the same im afraid in that under lying problems will rear there ugly head during the modifying stage,mainly mapping period.

 

You would say that given your low powered shed

TX.

 

****e!! Sorry to hear that mate, although a 100,000 mile P! on a std engine is an achievement in itself. Give David at APi a ring. He'll talk you through the options. A rebuild that'll let you run 350 reliably shouldn't cost the earth!

Ns04

 

Did well to last so long TBH ...

TX.

 

Ha Ha don't make me laugh TX,ill think you will find myn is nearer yours than you think
We'll find out who's is quickest at the 30-130,oh with a misfire at 6k i think you may as well give in now old fruit
PDR

 

101k is good and like we all know , when moddin the choc box it can let go , mine did , but onwards and upwards

any one know how much i will be looking at for a rebuild

stu ;-)

 

It all depends Stu on whether you want a forged lump or stay standard mate,it could be around 1-1.5k for a standard build or 3-4k for a forged one.

 

Been keeping an eye on his, sorry to hear this , I had my 135,000 uk turbo mapped for the fourth or fifth time last week, only approx 300bhp, heart in my mouth, then find out a few days later both my rocker covers are leaking and possibly the centre diff!!

 

sorry to hear about your engine stu.i know its a long way but give martin a ring at sheffield subaru service pal.he will sort you out

 

could any one give me a list of parts ill be needing for a rebuild so i can start pricing stuff up .
