Just heard from Alan at AVA and they have fitted the new Collins ecu to my car and started the mapping, Alan recons it is prity good software. He is still working his way through the features and getting to grips with them but things look to be going well.
They have done one low boost run up stopping at 7k and the car made 241 ATW at 1 bar on the T38 , 20 brake less that it made last time it was ran there on a T35 at 2 bar. Plans now are to dial in the cams and finnish the mapping to a 7500 rpm limmiter then raise the boost to around 2 bar.
Cant wait to get it back just need to get some diffs sorted out now.

 

good to see all is looking good for u neil and impressive stuff from the ava guys

 

It's gonna be a monster Will it be ready for crail neil ?

 

whats the engine spec

 

No chance of it being at crail i dont think. We may have a problem with the oil pressure Alan wasnt too happy with it when playing with the idle speed. Was like the oil thined out alot when it got up to real high temp .He phoned to let me know before going any further ,so plan is to change oil to the Castrol Rs that they use and try it out if not will need to look further into it.

 

Glad to see things are going well mate!

we should start a poll to guess the power

i think 357 ATW

 

Will just have to wait longer to see it in the flesh,hope the castrol sorts things m8.

 

Hope the oil change will sort the pressure problem out then Alan can get the cam timing done. Will be good to see what sort of change the cam timing will make since most people slag BD10's. If i get anything over 310 ATW will be happy aslong as it drives well, just a pity wont have it for crail as its nice and close .

 

good stuff neil,i think it should do 350+ on t38...........heres hoping mate

 

i thought you were going to go with a t34 neil?

are you still going to crail without the escy?

 

Hope so Col dont know if he has the new injectors in yet or not, but looks like your greys are making more than the power i will have.

 

Yes Dov will still be going to crail, will need to get a look around your car not seen it since the new engine went in.

Got a UT T38 so switched from the T35 as the one i had was a .55 housing, should be good for 400+ with lowish lag.

 

what exhaust do you run Neil?

 

Mongoose 3" with no cats, should flow enough for just now dont you think.

 

yeah should be good...

just trying to think of every little thing that will help power

 

sama as mine except ive only the back box,and its ten years old and next to none baffel left in it

its now the restricting part in my car at this poer level

 

Think after this i will be getting Marco to sort my diffs out then that will have to be it for a while as just bought a house Just want it back to get some miles on it has been about 6 month since i have had it on the road properly.

 

you defo need an exhuast col..the gas speed on yours is enough to force the gas analyser over every time Alan tell me.

 

Will wait and see what Alan says once it gets up to full boost, think the inlet will be on the limit before the exhaust.

 

360ATW is my guess

 

aye your right,and i keep picking the thing up,its fucking filthy.............lol

 

Dont think it will get near that mate, if Col is making 370 with a modded T4 and similar spec to mine. Sure Euan said that a Harvey Gibs 450 engine makes about 350 ATW at ava so 300+ will be cool.

 

Just heard from AVA and the oil change has sorted out the oil pressure problem . Alan has now set the cam timing and did a power run at .7 bar making 231 ATW ,so just a few other small bits to mess with then then go on with the full boost set up and finnish the idle map. So things are looking up and the ECU is looking to be a good bit of kit.

 

i've got the same turbo....(unless different specs).....fookin' mint...said to be good for 450bhp and the response is great

 

The one i have is the same spec as the UT unit but built by the guy that use to work for them then set up on his own(Vince i think), its has also got the internals pollished to try and aid flow.
I've only drove the car through to AVA with the T38 fitted but since it was on the old T35 map was trying to keep it off boost.

 

Thats very good power for the boost

Steve.

 

should make well over 300 close to 350 on collins mate mines running collins and made 314atw at dastek with t34 and still got slight boost leak good luck

 

Hi mate glad to hear your oil pressure is sorted what grade and make was your old oil??

 

.........fook knows what the spec is.........mine is a over sized comp wheel?????and a t4 wheel and bored out ex housing........anyway a perfect ride......

The oil that was put in originaly was Valvoline 10/50 i think, pressure was ok to start with but the oil seemed to thin out alot when real hot. AVA have now changed to Castrol Rs 10/60 and seems alot better , didnt drop pressure while doing the cam timing when it was on the rollers for long periods of time.

Thanks Neil

Bet you cant wait to get it back mate it will fly

Speak soon

 

No probs mate . Yes cant wait to get it back , need to get my finger out and sort out some uprated diffs as its standard ones in it justnow.

 

Will keep an eye out for it at the shows this year always had a soft spot for your car credit to you Neil

 

good stuff neil...................................+dastek suck,i heard they worked in gregs the baker then decided to open a rolling road shop

 

glad to see it was just the oil neil

 

So am i mate looks like it might all be done by the time i get back from work in 3 weeks, as long as there are no other problems.

 

like i said when you tx me Neil...great news!

no probs with the contact stuff

 

good to see there is progress m8,glad oil pressure prob cured,didnt fancy takin lump out again,a reckon its got to do 350@wheels.

 

Thanks Wul for all the help with the car With any luck we can pick it up when you take your car to have the map tweaked.

 

Lovely car mate, Hope all goes as planned.
