The car did look very nice last night

Looked even better than the last time i saw it on the M6

 

Evening guys

Was good chatting to you both, and both your cars were stunning machines which have given me ideas for mines as well, bloody inspired

 

Cracking motor mate!
Nice talking to you aswell(outside the McDonalds)and it was a good wee bit sport on the way back aswell!

 

Please tell more Keith

 

KDT

HAHA take it you were in euans car on the way up the road then lol

Thats fuckin fast that car ive got 230 horses but he just left me

Signed up to RS mania Dave, cool wee site that. think ill prob take you up on the RS turbo CD mate if thats alright.

Handy info to have that

 

lucid your car is rapid..

the way it picked up speed was impressive

just goes to show what a 1.6 can do

 

Evening Euan

I was well impressed with your car, the absolute bollox mate

The 1.6 is a cracking engine and loads of folk dont give em a chance but loot at the likes of christian and beccy's S2 300+ and still on the 1.6
And topping out at over 160 mph is very impressive, mines is out of puff around 130

Cheers for the comments mate

Ill post up when i get back from AVA on saturday, booked in for 11 o'clock if anybody's around

Night dudes

 

im working on sat or else i maybe would have came thru..

im guessing about 210 ish ATW

 

what is the spec of your car lucid?

 

Car looked brilliant at the meet Very nice

As per the thread, andy's done most of the the works so far but as of saturday there is changes being made

as you saw the car id fantastic but i have plans but the esential need doing first

Then were moving on

I want some more power but it want it solid so over the next year i want to take the capacity out to 2.0 then ill prob leave it alone once the its over the 260 mark odd but ill see how it goes

 

I was absolutely bladdered when i wrote that above comment, done alright i think

 

the fuelling the car has is the maximum for 230bhp, if you want more, then
you will have to change management, i.e cossie or fez efi

also, that engine will probably handle more power,

and for 2.0 litre, you will either have to go tall block or zvh i think

 

All that CVH needs is a big valve head and it will produce a lot more power. You can take it upto about 260/270ish bhp then.

If you want even more, drop the sump off and fit steel con rods.

Then it's restriction is the fuel systems and the turbo.

Going to a 2 litre seems a hell of a lot of work/cost just to gain a small amount of power that the engine thats already in the car will handle in it's stride with minor modifications. Bear in mind that the standard Zetec and the standard CVH rods are both on the limit at the same power output.

 

Afternoon guys

Just Back from AVA where the car made 155@wheels charge temp is waaaaaaay high and its overfuelling.

Whipped the dump valve off and bunged it up while we were at it and disconnected the 5th injector......flat spot gone!

Car pulls right the way with NO hesitations whatsoever.

But the over fuelling is really needing sorted as the car is suffering from it, otherwise its tip top absolutely spot on.

Im gonna post a request up for some techy help cos i want the I/C further forward and the fans mounted between there and the rad, just spent ages in the drive looking at how this can be done but i reckon ill need some kind of fabrication to get some mounts for the cooler.

Also andy i dont suppose you have the original airbox do you?

 

no it had a k&n on it when i got it, you need that 5th injector for 21 psi or it will melt

also, leave the dump valve on, 21 psi might goose ytour turbo

 

very very suprised pete it only made 155 was that on the low boost switch deffo felt much quicker than my old one which made 150 there.also got a run in t28's car before at ava when it made 205 and your car deffo felt as quick as that imho should have a we run next time your out with t28 and see what the difference really is

 

Evening dudes,

The tests today were done on low boost as they didnt see the point in going high untill the fuelling was sorted.

But AVA are making me a custom fuelling setup for it, didnt mean to get hardcore with it this quick but i couldnt help it

But when it goes back they reckon they will get the power right back up there without the boost as high which apparently from word of mouth they are very good at.

Andy the cars chilling out for the time being and kept off high boost, the 5th is going back on once the new fuel system is put in next month

Dave it was very fast last night and with 3 in as well, once i have my new bits ill have a fly with T28 if hes up for it

Ill keep you guys posted on the progress in this room as each stage is done over the next few months, fuck im gonna be skint

 

You were told Welsh boy sorry, Jock boy..........

 

best money i ever spent though

Got rid of the mrs bought an S1, costs me less and a much better ride

 

Costs you less ? Fuck me, typical Jock skintflint all my ex'es have been FAR dearer hobbies than my S1. Been a close run thing at times I grant you but even so.............

 

Agreed Stu, here have a dump valve

Andy, how is the 5th injector controlled mate?

Give me knowledge

 

its an erl mf2 one, the aquamist, all info on there website,,
there is a box behind dash board that controls it

 

cheers mate

 

Depending on which one it is Pete it may be programmable.

 

Check this out...



The new fuel system should sort that out and give it a hefty boot up the arse , to be honest im quite happy about that cos it saves me a job later on.

Remember the run was low boost though and the quoted figure is at the wheels so that should give us 175 - 180 at the fly.

So to be honest its not to be sniffed at in any way at all but the fuelling data was pretty scary when they ran me through it but i also think that the ACT data could be due to the ambient temperature in the workshop.

But i want to figure something more efficient out and if im going the full hog like its looking like i am then im doing it right

 

Lucid

how come you did it on low boost

the 5th must be connected for 21psi pal

 

Well when it was on the rollers the guys at AVA didnt want to do i high boost run till the fuelling was sorted.

What im gonna do is run it with the 5th in comparison to without but i aint going on high untill ive had the new system put in

I just dont want to run the high boost till its sorted though id be in tears if something were to happen to it.

 

that explains why it was a bit lower than id have thought then as it was run on the low boost as it was overfueling on low boost would it maybe not have been ok on high boost
still does go well tho mate

 

why is it over fuelling?

did the explain that?

they will sort it out im sure as they have TONS of experience in FAST rst's!

fancy a shot in my mates one, lucid?

it makes 280 ATW scariest thing i have ever ben in

 

Green Shed?

It runs?

 

nah the red shed LOL

 

whats high boost if low boost is around 18psi
also have to take into consideration the more boost the higher the act's are gonna get and there already sittin quite high
sure alan and colin will have some top tips for you

 

Evening chaps

Right been working on the car since about 10 ish this morning, fixed all my leccy probs like the tail light anhd sidelights, the fuse blowing prob is now gone also.

Was a james hunt of a job but works pretty much spot on now and should be for the foreseeable future.

Also the window motor's wiring setup had plugs protruding from the door behind the drivers door card, a swift re wire has sorted that and the panel now sits flush with the door itself, fairly easy.

And i got my head and changer from my old gti6 in there now as well cos i was having probs getting that to work off the existing harness.

Euan id fooookin love a go in the "red shed"

Ive also managed to source a standard airbox for her as well but having some trouble getting a panel filter for it, was going for the K&N but if any of you guys know of better ones then im all ears

Jambo the high is at 21 psi but after the fuel systems done AVA reckon were going for more power but less boost approach if you know what i mean

 

been in the red shed myself and its fuckin awesome

was thinkin 18psi is a bit high for that power,know exactly what you mean mate with less boost,all these boost junkies think more boost equals more power,not always

 

Love it mate

 

The S1 will prolly feel as quick coz mine is very progressive, your more than welcome to have a passenger run to see how different the cars feel

It will be interesting to see what it makes once the problems have been sorted out

Would be nice to see it with 200@ the wheels as it has got alot of good bits on it just now

 

Evening dave,

Yeah id quite like that, ill actually speak this time instead of gazing inanely into your engine bay, i didnt get much chance to chat last time.

Also i had every intention of getting to the meet tonight but curcumstances really wouldnt let me

But once ive got myself booked back into AVA (as soon as ive got a standard airbox on) ill post the dates and then the outcome up on this thread and just edit the title to state what stage were at

Cheers

Pete

 

Pmsl

Glad your enjoying your S1 Im sure you'll have a HUGE smile on your face once its running 100%
