IHI VF34 Conversion Pics **Now with a TD05H-18G**

[Wilko]

How many engines have you damaged badly from your textbook/calculator tuning......... How many have I? erm....

Bill
I blew a rod on a 68000 mile engine that had most of those 68000 miles with over 300lbft being produced. It was driven hard, and I accepted that I was taking the piss out of the internals, hence why I had all the parts ready for a rebuild when it went pop.

Other than that, I have burnt one valve out. That's in 90,000 miles of taking the piss.

This entire discussion started because you made the statement (by assumption) that I had made unsuitable tweaks to my timing which caused the failure. I corrected you on this, and you then proceeded to start a pissing contest.

I at no point since my problems with JBS have I posted any of it on the boards, or actively criticised their products or tuning. I have not done this because I felt it was wrong to do so. I also think that Guy Freiling writes good code and tuning tools, so why would I criticise it.

If you re read my posts again , they contain a lot of questions, that you as a custom tuner of renown should be able to answer for all the interested readers out there, yet you steadfastly refuse to.

Any way bill as I said in my previous post, we have hijacked this thread and taken it off topic enough.

Please take up my sugestion, and start a new thread explaining the intricacies of how the bosche ecu opperates. I'm sure there are many readersof the boards that would find your wealth of knowledge usefull and interesting. I have never claimed to know anything other than the basics, and would be interested to gain from your superior knowledge.

Well all I'm going to say is that I have learnt ALOT from this thread, both from my own spanner time and reading through the recents comments

You both sound like knowledgable chaps, would be a shame for it to go stale on here.

Anyways, in other news, I've ordered a set of "street density" engine mounts from a company called INA --> http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3566881
They look like a nice compromise between OEM mush and vibra technics. The plan is to firm up the engine in the bay without too much vibration inthe car. My engine is really shaking about at the moment due to the idle problem I have. I'll be heading back to JBS soon to have this sorted out. I think its running a little rich.

and the whole host of dead turbos........... you have
Some great tuning there John. Respect to you.

you should re-read your own snide (as usual) digs at logging and tuning tools john.

I'm not wasting my time on you any further.

Just give me a shout guys when you want me to put an end to this and i'll hop off my fence to close the gate.

Now please

 

[ZBOYD]

Now please

Wasn't aware you were called Bill or Wilko.

no need to close it or end it. I'll shut up and let htc, continue with his interesting thread about his car build.

HTC, well done by the way for doing so much if it yourself

 

[wild willy]

HTC may i ask a question here that may be of interest to your project and certainly my own car, if you want me to bog off..... no probs.

Is there any way i can install a 3 bar map sensor to my stage 2 LCR without getting the map rescaled.

 

[m0rk]

no, it'll under read the boost significantly

 

[minimivic]

out of interest where do 3 bar map sensors come from? just in case i need 1

 

[m0rk]

diesels

As mentioned it would need the ECU reprogramming to suit. Just to add, but car doesn't have a MAP sensor - old skool ECU, non-DBW large port engine.

as mork said diesels run 3bar maps, but idle map sensor figure will sit in the 800mb when on idle when ecu is expecting 1000mb (ish) - lumpy idles

part numbers: 0281 002 401 - 038 906 051C from a 3bar I have sat here

 

[ryan_s3]

did they ever produce a cable throttle ibiza 1.8t

 

[h17och]

no, dont think so

 

[h17och]

while on topic of 3bar map sensor. would you guys in the know reccomend one on my build?

 

[ryan_s3]

er...yes!

 

[h17och]

lol take it as a yes then. why dont you just say what you mean

 

[m0rk]

'but' only if your mapper knows how to scale it

 

[h17och]

i tryed rininging them this morning to ask them that but no answer. im guessing they should be able to but will check

thanks
