Do you HAVE to have ya car setup again?
Want to remove my GRS and fit the Pro Alloy one, but I don't wanna pay setting up charge ROFL

 

see how she drives!
ps keep your eye on the boost levels- you may need to back them off a little to return to where you were...

 

Wayne, I know I'd have to reduce boost level for sure

But ultimately, is it going to be ok to leave for a while

Does anyone on here know the real score with this?

 

if you set the boost back to how it was then will be fine

 

Reason I'mm asking

I'll be going from a twin pass intercooler to a single pass intercooler

The difference in air volume will be quite subsantial - i.e different tuning levels

 

it will be ok for daily driving but if it was mine wouldn't be hammerin it til its proper set-up
if you change any characteristics of the runnin of the car it needs set up afterwards to gain its full potential
remember grs has a pressure drop of upto 4psi so your turbo is workin harder than its actually showin on your boost gauge,addin a pro alloy raises boost pressure so i'd get it set up as soon as you can mate

 

My boost gauge shows exactly what the turbo is doing
But I do know what you mean

As jambo said really James.. I found I gained a few psi.. I took it easy on the road... Good it setup.. made sure enough fuel etc then gave it spuds

I drove about not set up, evryday for what must have been a good month or two.. So it will be fine, but done cain it too much. Ideally get it setup as soon as you can

 

Well, I'll leave it then, 'cos driving it like miss Daisy just ain't me I'm afriad

It's been given stick for the last 3 yrs now and still not blown, I'd ideally like it to stay that way

Not bad for an 8 yr old engine now is it LOL

 

Get it setup m8, be interesting to see what power it makes with the new cooler

 

I wouldn't know that, only RR round here is SCA
Or I could get it all done at JamSport, but all work on the car been carried out by Gary - would be rude to end it just before it gets pulled apart for better things innit!

 

Take it to Gary then

 

Its not just about how much more/less boost it makes. If the Intercooler flows differently to the GRS you may find that it comes onto boost earlier or later. If it comes on earlier, your MF2 may not be set up to cope with that.

Just a thought.

 

what so you mean your not taking the boost gauge feed from the inlet manifold and are using the compressor housing instead then

PS get it set up properly

 

JR-good question that mate cos i have a pace ic and pace rad to fit and was wondering the same thing to be honest

 

If you are going from a Standard Intercooler to one that is much different, then a Fuelling Check/Setup is DEFINATELY recommended.

I think James thinks that because he is going from one large Front Mounted Intercooler to another Large Front Mounted Intercooler that he can get away with it.

 

Look at it this way......

If you are asking the question then thats because you realise that it may be a gamble, right?

You should only Gamble with as much as you can afford to lose.

 

cheers christian- my car is being resprayed at the minute and engine is down pj motorsport being rebuilt (lw comp) so really when this is fitted i aint got nowt to loose tbh when its set up aftrewards

just intrgiued me that a fully working car would or would not have to be set up again after fitting stuff like this.

question i think has now been answered

 

i had a boost drop (4psi) when i fitted my rad tec cooler....got it set up and a few weeks later my turbo shat its blade down the zorst! and everyone that looked at it said it seemed to have over ran itsself... ....never mind......maybe an air leak somewhere!...

 

How much for your old one james?

 

Get it set up agin I just had to get mine set up again after fitting the pro alloy and alex has got to take his back best to have everything 100%

 

Christian, you once again have guessed incorrectly

Being a Saturday I didn't want to disturb APT and your work...

Purely asking a simple question and yes I meant what you did when you say about flowing differently
I just said it in a different way
