not sure the vectra injectors are big enough for that, i looked into it, max 240bhp on them, unless the fuel pressure was screwed up big time?

that green capri mk1 with the 24v in pulled 278 fly on vectra injectors as i recall

tjRS500

dont see why i shouldnt see more than 300bhp then if u can get that on a lesser spec'd boa matt.

not taking a dig im just stating.

chaffe

196cc/min flow rate? must be running the injectors at 100% duty cycle? certainly absoloutly no more bhp available with those injectors, when you do yours i woulod go with something bigger mate im using 306cc/min redtop turbo ones, prob flow enough for 360bhp at std fuel pressure, 400bhp at 4 bar fuel pressure.

i will be using differant injectors mate, havent looked into which ones yet, but should manage.
ive not seen any BOB's produce big power N/A yet but thats more because there haven't been many yet.

i could be tempted to put BOA heads on a BOB block to get the higher compression, but not sure if it would work :/

tjRS500

Not really worth the hassle. U may aswell go full bob if your considering swapping. Better base to start with, I have been in a few boas and the difference is night and day power and noise wise
Once u go Bob u will never go back mate

i was the opposite actually, i didnt like the bob. it sounds too smooth and flat + its ugly as hell!
a low compression engine producing 200bhp is better than a high compression engine producing 200bhp :')

tjRS500

All I Care about is that it's faster.

They are both great engines,

If I was turbo'ing id go for boa,

But a well tuned n/a bob is in a different league imo

chaffe

The difference between a turbo boa and an NA one is night and day lol was out in my car last night, 5 psi atm, still fucking rapid lol. I tried a bit of left foot braking to load up the engine for mapping and it just spun the rears lol

chaffe

When going with aftermarket management a problem might arise in controlling the variable cam timing on the bob ( think it is variable?)

Damocos

No its only got a 'VIS' A variable intake system, it opens and closes a flap within the inlet manifold to spread the torque at certain revs. Aftermarket management will have a control to do that

Damocos

So its good then Mine's all done but with chrimbo looming i aint got the funds to get mine mapped:-( Im not that good with the laptop either and cant seem to sort the basics out to make it run properly....... Mind you the screamer pipe does sound the tits

chaffe

Yeah mate, the turbo works lol, ive got an internal gate now as i changed my turbo. Need to enlist the help of a mateto tune my car as its quite a task working the laptop and driving at the same time lol.

chaffe

Or throw it in the bin

chaffe

Damocos

Thats what i did with mine when i Turbo'd it

crumpet

wicked, why you up anyway?i suffer with insomnia whats your excuse? lol

offshore on nightshift lol whats your excuse lol

chaffe

Yeah its going for a test on fri, thats cos the wideband is diy! works a treat mate

chaffe

whats with the avatar lol

crumpet

never seen a 24v turbo before, you NEEED to get som decent vids of this when its sorted pal, you sortin the mapping yourself?

chaffe

yeah man, was out for a naughty tuning session last night, working mainly on the cruise and light throttle part of the map, so it can be driven to the mot testing station. The map is well rich on boost and very safe timing wise, @ only 5psi boost it pulls sooo hard lol, my original plan was about ten psi, but after last nights 3rd gear pull i may settle for a nicley tuned 7!!! i would think it would be 50bhp/cylinder at that.

crumpet

touch wood, are the boa's good for 300+ then? i wonder what it woul be like at 7-10 psi against a stage 3 cossie!...we shall see

chaffe

Yeah, people are getting 220bhp from them with just a remap NA, 300 bhp and 400lbft torque is no problem! ill will have good torque and low down grunt, what exactly is "stage 3"?

crumpet

stage 3 is from 320-360 on average, stage 3 t3 or t34 turbo, greens, 3 bar map, chip, exhaust, air filter, -31 and thats about it

chaffe

i see, I wonder what stage im at lol, stage 2.9 24v?

crumpet

haha people will think your just a 4x4 cossie by the looks of it, you should of left the exterior sleeper style on 15" steels with hubcaps lol!

chaffe

yeah that would be funny! had a few sleepers so fancied something a bit more "showey" though

crumpet

and fair play to you for doing so pal, mallard saphs look ace! i would love a abergine one parked next to yours

chaffe

that would look gucci, theres a challenge for you now!

crumpet

haha what ever colour car i get im leaving it , doin underside resto and engine bay resto and thats it, if i was to get a saph and had money to waste id want to do it aubergine, nightfire red or a really deep metallic brown, money not needed to be spent though lol

Good luck with the MOT

Will you get the car on the rollers once you have mapped it ?

Steve

chaffe

Thanks, should be a pass, emmisions is 1.2%co, 200 ppm hydrocarbons, and lambda 1, Yeah course its going on the rollers mate, ill post up figures when i get them.
