K500BHP

I WENT TO COLLINS A WHILE AGO AND HAD A STAGE 3 FITTED IE T34 WITH -55 HOUSING A SET OF GREYS NEW FUEL PUMP IGNITION COIL AND RUNNING ABOUT 22PSI OF BOOST. SINCE THEN I'VE FITTED A 500 COOLER SO I SUPPOSE MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU THINK IS A SAFE BOOST PRESSURE TO RUN ON THIS SETUP (BARING IN MIND THAT IT LEAVES A BROWN TRAIL FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN I COME ON BOOST AT THE MO) AND WHAT BHP SHOULD I GET FROM THIS SET UP.

I would say 350-360ish, maybe a little more..........

Stu MSD Chip, Greens, T34 .55, 500 ic and 21psi = 320 bhp on mine
Karl NMS Chip, Greys, T34 .55, 500 ic and 29psi = 371 bhp on mine now

Just for info

jimc instead of asking on a website where you will get 101 different answers from resident experts may i suggest you phone Collins?

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Well said Bosch-Man, everyone as got different opinions and answers, so just ring Collins like the man says...........

Well you may have greys, but you still have a T34 and 22psi. 330 BHP.

K500BHP

will ask collins but it still do,nt explain the brown smoke from the tail pipe on full boost(i take it that this is unspent fuel)

aduz

ask for sue

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

That should be flames.................lol

K500BHP

would the fact that i only had a standard intercooler on when done influence the peak boost that collins set?????

JamesH

jimc

Yeah most probably over fueling

aduz

K500BHP

So does my mate, his is setup by Collins, except his LITERALLY reach the roof of his Saff. & I aint shittin you

Staffi

Lol.........get something fitted matey............stop that scorching.

K500BHP

it aint that bad as they reach the roof but was wondering about upping the the boost a tad to use the fuel being pumped in

Stavros

You got a stage 3 chip in?

Or one actualy suited for greys?

As a stg3 chip is greens, and if you put greys on without a chip for it it will overfuel like a cnut

K500BHP

no i asked collins for evrything to go towards 400bhp so that is the route they took me (ie greys fuel pump ignition and everything)

From what I've read, my limited experience with him, and my brother's extensive experience of his work I'd say he really knows what he's doing.

My car runs really well on his chip, although it was also spot on with Stu's chip when on Stage 3 / Greens spec.

Basically you won't go wrong with either of those companies - I'd recommend anyone else to either of them.

who is karl sib and where is he

Karl is Karl Norris of Norris Motor Sports (NMS as it's more commonly known!)

Think he's up near Coventry - he also posts on here regulary, though he is very busy with all the customers he has.

I'll try and find a link to his website in a mo

Doubt it my mates is Collins chip (same one whos flames hit the roof) and his goes upto 29psi of boost and holds it, so probs wont help dude


You won't go wrong with Karl though, it will be the best mod you ever did

K500BHP

so probably wont hurt to up the boost a tad from 22 towards the 29psi range

K500BHP

everything knms recomends for a stage 4 is allready on the engine so the big question is where do i go from here(poss a live map???)

bud-weis

you should have it live mapped for defo, with your 500 cooler expect the boost set to peak around 29 and hold 25 ish . speak to Karl about what you want, it's your car and he will do what you ask, but i doubt he'd recommend much more boost?

the smoke could be a number of things really, tired engine or just overfuelling, greys ideally need live mapping so an off the shelf chip isn't really good enough.

power should be a genuine 365-370bhp i reckon maybe slightly more

As i said earlier jimc, take it to Karl for a live map, he transformed my 3 door, hes in Coventry.........
