All spanner work done by me though. The next step is a simtek at £1000 + vat unfortunatley. but Launch control and anti lag should at least be a laugh!! I'm changing my turbo for a VF 35 to see what this does to the drivability of the car and the power. Currently running a VF22 which is where the 317 came from.
jd Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 the vf35 is very good if you want no more then 340-350bhp. spools early, so great for short blasts. will try & show the launch and als to you on the day jk.
joe_lane Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Are you running Simtek JD? I'd like to see how the ALS and LC systems work if you've got them fitted. The idea of the VF35 is for earlier boost. I'm thinking about doing some hill climbs and sprints in the car and think the eaRlier spooling would be more beneficial than more power. Dunno.. Somthing i need to talk to a few people about really..
jd Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 yes i do have the simtek fitted (first one on a newage ) rgards the turbo, it depends on if you want to buy new or 2nd hand, new vf35 can be found for around £300, there is one in the for sale section. if you are getting new, then the vf34 is a good buy, very similar to the vf35 but with roller bearings. Think www.enginetuner.co.uk sell them for about £650ish (dont quote me on this).
joe_lane Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I've already got the VF35. Bought it a just after the last RR day at AJ's I went to which was just after you had a load of work done.. It's a nice low miler. Strap it on and see what happens. Like to have a chat about your Simtek and see it in action. a grand plus takes a bit of thinking about. And who to map it aswell. I know AJ do it but I'll talk to you about that on the day....

joe_lane Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) I'm gonna have to pull out Steve. Started changing the turbo and stripped a stud on the VF22. Just spent all morning looking for replacement nuts for the VF35 Decided to put my samco inlet pipe on but it would now appear that you have to take the inlet manifold off to fit it :thumbup: And I managed to muller the old one getting it out. And the local parts dept is closed so no new inlet manifold gaskets. Not gonna risk running with old ones. I've been through that sort of pain before. So cars out of action for a little while. And streetwars isn't looking good either... Sorry Steve. Edited May 31, 2008 by JoeKont
