helo just had an Engine advantages stage 2 up grade for my focus rs, since having the car back fr about 2 months the car doesnt seem to be running right.

the car wont run with a dump valve and when you put ur foot down you some times get a hesatation from the car and it pulls fine again?

Looking at getting the traction kit from Adrenaline racing next, anybody recommend the kit?

Car mods: Stage 2 engine advantsges conversion

Gt28 garrett ball bearing turbo
GGR manifold (ceramic heat coated)
Miltek De-cat pipe
Monogouse De-cat exhaust
Engine advatages intercooler upgrade
Gen 2 induction kit
Bluefin
motorsport ignition leads
denso iridium spark plugs

What do i get next, (i.e. wrc pistons, rods, boost controller) looking for over 400bhp.

Anybody recommend anywhere else to take the car?

 

if its only just been done take it back, may save it blowing up too soon. When you say the car won't run with a dump valve there not supposed too. Get a recirculating valve on there before you break your new turbo.

also with that upgrade the bottom end won't last long so get that done and i'm supprised you didn't get a boost controller with all that as the ford one tends to give up around the 300bhp mark.

what psi is your turbo running?

 

the car is set up at 1.5 bar 22 psi.

the boost gauge is next on the list but seen so many, anyone in particular?

What type off things am i looking for, for the bottom end and price? they also fitted my standard actuator too my new turbo. shldnt they have fitted a -31 actuator?

What you rate power engineering?

 

check her mate plenty of posts about turbo upgrades etc http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=134

can't comment on PE or anyone not used anyone for mine yet. I use a blitz boost controller as the ford one plays up, but some of us are using apexi (sp), again check the link loads of discussion about it here.

I'd be very carefully running that lot on the bluefin tho and would want a custom map, i think the fuel pump and injectors are on there limit at 350bhp.

 

Get yourself to Rob at SCC mate, he is the man for the Focus RS from what i've heard. Be worth it just for a check over rather than it going bang mate.

 

cheers for the help will give that scc a ring next week, would anyone now where i could order an apexi or blitz boost controller from?

cheers

daniel

 

best place for the blitz is on ebay, its either 280 or 290 with postage. As said i think SCC, they havn't had a frs go bang yet

 

Why not take it back to EA?? Although not quite sure why you took it there in the first place!!

Surely with this turbo a dump valve is needed!!??

 

Id seen the advert in the ford magazine and seemed a good idea afforfable, very helpful people. had the car back for about 2 months and coughs and splutters, when u got ur foot down u get a flat spot and the car pulls fine again.

They hav also fitted my standard actuator to my new turbo, shldnt it hav been a -31?

whats the blitz sbc id boost controller like?

Anywhere u recomend, whats this scc like?

cheers daniel

 

From what i've read EA don't have a fantastic following on this site mate, there have been quite a few cars go wrong/bang with the conversions, thats not too say every one they do, does...

I think your first port of call should be EA and tell them the problems you have, and also the shortgivings you have with the conversion ie: the Actuator, Dump valve etc.

Also I Personally wouldn't mention the fact you've asked for advice on here, as I get the idea they don't rate the comments on this site that highly due what I said above.

 

In short, just go to Rob at SCC, you can't find any better

 

heya thanks everyone for your comments.

guna go back to EA and se what they say. will keep you posted.

thanks daniel

 

Thanks Mate

 

was only joking, ur crap really!





























joke

 

For 375bhp mate your missing headwork, cams & custom mapping and change the manifold to PD & exhaust to Miltek..

For over 400bhp your gonna need forged rods & pistions, autronics standalone ecu, uprated fuel system, uprated inlet manifold, bigger turbo,
that will get you over 400 but then the bottom end is at it's limit then, so never ending spending...

Get it into to Rob

 

YA its goin up in a month got the boost controller so guna take it up there to be put on and and set up. Cars also guna hav a set up on the rollers too makesure shes running sweet. Also seeing if relyand will take the gt28 for the gt 30. Worth ago! hehe.

Is there anything wrong with the ggr manifold and mongoose exhaust?

Cheers daniel

 

The GGR manifold is no where near as good as the PD manifold for quality and durability.
The mongoose exhaust are supposed to be quite restrictive inside the pipe in some places only 56mm bore which is not what you want.
If you stick with the GT28RS get a PD or Miltek exhaust system

 

heya thanks for all your info.

cars been up to rob at scc, had a boost controller fitted and sorteg alitl of the problems.

car is runnin wicked, was pushin an m3 the day i had it bk.

back to see the guys at scc in a year with some bucks to spend.

cheers every1
