Big 'D'

Great pics there guys, well worth the trip Cheers Iain

Will be a good afternoon out if you like your own company mate, the way this is going Cheers Iain

looks like this is going to be yet another flop Come on guys what has happened to the Oxon Scooby Crew ? Do we need to change the day we have our meets or something or is no one interested anymore? Cheers Iain

Looking at the ticket prices its £25 at the gate for the weekend Cheers Iain

You are very welcome mate, anytime Cheers Iain

This was just a quick list though, I will add to it later a few other things worth considering. Cheers Iain

Oh thanks Ed LOL Ok 350bhp from a 95' WRX, here goes..... On top of what you have done already you will need.... To fit your Front Mount Intercooler Fit larger fuel injectors I think yours are 380cc, 440cc injectors would do but 550cc injectors would be better. I am not certain what the max BHP the standard TD05 will make (Andy Forrest will know for sure) But I would suggest a larger turbo maybe a TD05 18G, or a VF34 or VF35. You may need to run a different MAP sensor so you can run over 1.2/1.3 BAR. Fuel pressure regulator. There may be more but I will keep you updated. I hope this gives you an idea of what you need to get 350bhp. Cheers Iain

Good god its quiet about here lately Cheers Iain

To be honest Ed I have no idea. Cheers Iain

Hi all Our next monthly meet will be on the Sunday 6th September 2009 from 11:30am onwards, at the Kings Arms (Harvester) at Kidlington. Click here for location map.........Link to map Cheers Iain 1. Big 'D' (I may not be there as it is mega close to when our new baby is due to arrive) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Cheers Iain

I think I just messed myself, those figures are nuts Andy what a machine Cheers Iain

Thats a storming time there Andy well done Cheers Iain

Nice looking car there fella, where were the pics taken if you dont mind me asking Cheers Iain

Hold up mate he uses the forums now so he may be able to tell you what it could be over the forum, then obviously advise you of what would need doing Cheers Iain

I have no knowledge of this system but I know someone who might, one for mark@cotswolds I think Cheers Iain

My first cars name was a bit of a contradiction, it said it was a Rapid but was far from it. It was a Skoda Rapid 135 Ric (Rapid,injection,coupe)... much like the one below Cheers Iain

Has the MAP (Not the MAF) sensor been checked? If the car is starting (no smoke), idling ok, reving ok in neutral and just has no power/boost on the move, I think we have pretty much exhausted all of the possible options, its either the engine is not getting the fuel/air to produce the exhaust gas to drive the turbo, the turbo or wastegate itself is goosed, or there is a restriction somewhere. Cheers Iain

I have to agree here, there would have to be a huge loss of compression for there to be less than wastegate pressure produced on a boost run, also I guess that this would also be visible like mentioned before as blue smoke or rough running in extreme cases, was the 2 psi figure taken whilst the car was on the road under load? A very odd one this but like mentioned already I bet its something really stupid and easy (fingers are crossed). Could be a fuelling issue I suppose restricting the engine output not actually the turbo at all? (blocked fuel filter/poor pump output) Cheers Iain

Just had another thought could a faulty MAP sensor limit power output perhaps restricting the engine not the turbo? Cheers Iain

It has got to be a physical restriction or a huge boost leak/stuck open dump valve like sparky mentioned, I would have thought that a boost leak of that magnitude would be very audible and noticable though, there is nothing I can think of electrically that would cause such a low boost output as the base turbo pressure is purely air pressure/mechanially controlled. Will be very interested in the result of this one Cheers Iain

Hi fella, You mentioned in your first thread that the turbo is making only 2 psi, there are only a few things that would cause this to occur, 1. A restriction in the intake (pre filter, resinator box) or post turbo (in the intercooler). 2. A restriction in the exhaust ie a collapsed CAT or Baffle 3. A knackered turbo (quite rare) 4. The wastegate actuator linkage not being connected or the wastegate plate has detached or partially broken preventing significant spool. (this would require the removal of the exhaust down pipe to prove the condition or attachment of the wastegate plate. 5. A very weak/broken wastegate actuator spring. If all the above is ok the very minimum boost level you should see is a mechanically goverened (via the wastegate actuator) 0.5 BAR (7 to 8 psi). Because your boost level is so low it would suggest that one of the above would be the cause, assuming that your engine is ok etc. Cheers Iain

It is nothing against you at all mate, I just dont want to draw attention away from this forum, if you want to see more of the things you have suggested I would be more than happy to get that sorted. Cheers Iain

There will be NO seperate Oxon website, nothing you have mentioned above cannot be done within the SIDC website there is no need for a new site. Cheers Iain

Just had a thought mate do the dials read in mph if so what does it read up to? What I am thinking is that it may just be the dials that have been replaced leaving the limiter still present. Cheers Iain

Will have to get you to do me a new avatar mate as the car looks nothing like that now lol Cheers Iain
