Teething troubles.

 

[h17och]

hope so. got warranty on it seenin as it cost a mint

 

[chungster]

Enough time to get another made and ready for TOTB??

 

[stewbie55]

good news or bad news?

Good news. she does fly, few things on map i want changing but she is fast. maybe not as fast as i expected but he did say he kept downing the power untill it was just about drivable.

no traction at all untill 3rd on hot tarmac.

BAD NEWS

ive broke it already with in 12 hours of getting it

gota strip of mani and turbo 2m
mani has snapped due to not having a flexy on wastegate pipework. slip joint wernt enuff

doh!

Was wondering what engine mounts you got Hooch and if that's also contributed to your problems? Theres going to be a lot of movement with all those horses.

 

[ryan_s3]

hope you get it fixed soon,sounds like a beast,well done btw.

 

[h17och]

chungster...not sure. i need to hand my money over before wednesday for totb. i can get mani sorted before then but im now worried about another problem. dont want to waste entry fee.

stewbie...running VT mounts. race front, road rear and gbox iirc. maybe need race all round?

thanks ryan

 

[air121005]

have you have it on the rollers, what power is it producing?

 

[chungster]

Bummer dude. Think you would have been the first SEAT to enter TOTB in the 7 year history of the compo!!!!

Hope you get it fixed in anycase and get to enjoy it. There's always TOTB next year fella.

 

[h17och]

yea i know but thats a WHOLE year away lol

not been on the rollers no...well thay claim they saw 400bhp but it kept jumping out after that so couldnt get a true reading.....but im not going to beleive that as there are no graphs.

i need to go back soon to finish the map as the maf was too small and the velocity thru the s3 one was too much and its causing problems on motorway driving. ie 80mph in 5th then plant it (anything more than 1/4 throttle)...just doesnt pik up. he claims its due tot the maf size!?

[m0rk]

strange, saturation of the MAF will only occur at high airspeed (ie high rpm & lots of boost)

already?
thats shag all use mileage wise for that to occur........ unlucky dude

mork, i dont really understand the whole mapping side of things so please bear with me.

basicly he mension to me before i took the car away that the maf needed to be bigger and he had experianced it throwing a light on 5th gear runs.

i assumed when it wasnt boosting very well in 5th on motorway overtaking situations that this was the problem but it may not be the case according to your last post!?!?

he will be ringing me 2m to discuss

bill, been a bad week for me ready. this is just the pretty icing on top.

i stripped it down today. mani, turbo, dp all off. only took 6 hours not happy

HoocH

 

[h17och]

i also noticed my washer jet piping has melted thru from the heat lol big hole in it.

it wrks well as a turbo sprayer cooler thing lol

deffo a bad patch for you hooch..
remember "anything" within sight of the exhaust/turbo which is meltable, WILL MELT.

the radiant heat is massive.. and dyno wise its even worse as there is'nt sufficient airflow passing by.

5th gear issue is torque request I would imagine... and its hitting a limit.
If mine I would want the desired max boost I would ever run, and just unitsettings it back down to a tractionable level, leaving higher settings for dyno days (for a laff)

you can get/make turbo heat shields or the wraps (insulator blanket) - I have a new spare GT garrett insulator blanket if you wanted one.

unlucky hooch

 

[rashcupra]

as someone has mentioned before matey just teething problems when you do this much to car your gonna get problems and things that need uprating modding ect will make the first proper drive even more enjoyable

GOOD LUCK FELLA!

 

[h17och]

i also noticed its started melting the bit of foam around the 2 water pipes where they go thru the bulk head.

aint them jackets like £100 tho bill? is it not cheaper to ceramic coat the housing?

how does torque request work? what senses it?

your not wrong rash and i expected it.....but on a part that cost in excess of £2000 is just a pig

HoocH


if i unisetting boost down after having a higher boost set, wouldnt i also need to adapt fueling?

torque request is what the me7 operates under... its will ask for a targetairflow from which boost etc indirectly delivers etc Hi loads (%) will be high torque requests hence flxing the limits of the map settings on scaling etc...

The jackets are >£100 yes.. mine cost me £135 from AET.
ceramic coating will help yes, but not sure if its radiant heat reduction would be as reduced as a thick blanket provides. looks like a t-cosy

ceramic coating all of it inc the DP is what will help the others things from melting, but you cant go too OTT in the heat shielding dept either in my experience. if its in sight of the mani or DP it will melt..

I've used this laminate heat shield material>>

from merlin motorsport
http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/H...LAYER-HEAT-SHIELD-300x300mm/product_info.html

Unisettings will track fueling to suit boost once turned down on % load scale.. no need to trim, but you can do that too if desired in unisettings also.

 

[h17och]

some good info there bill thanks.

already got the sheet stuff. got loads left so i should ready slap it everywhere.

unisetting does sound good. got sort my LT

looks like this

been the most reliable to connect settings thing I've used, works with vag-com cable I have etc..
