PhilW's Mk3 Ibiza Project Thread - 3071 - Now Breaking!

[PhilW]

Just a small update, ordered a new prodcut called WOT Box. Basically its no lif shiftiing and 2 step launch control.


Basically this allows you to change the gear without lifting the throttle, which helps put less strain on the box due to the ignition being cut for a short time when your at WOT on gear change thus the engine producing no torque allowing the syncros to mesh easier. Which also help keep on boost between gears.

The 2-Step Launch Control modulates the ignition by dropping power to individual ignition coils to hold the RPM you want to launch at. The turbo will spool up while you do this. You can use this feature for a more consistent and more powerful launch in boost.

Lovely Motor

Bloody wot box is stuck in customs. Grrr.

Insurance paid up, all mods declared same mileage as last year as limited mileage made no difference, 6 years NCB protect, 472.

I could have got cheaper, not by a massive amount, but Greenlight offer track day cover and like for like on mods. Plus its still on 15,000 miles a year.

Like the sound of that WOT BOX Phill! It is compatible with our ECU's isnt it? Keep us updated...

 

[PhilW]

The no lift shifting will work i think without a problem, the launch control might be a little tricky, dependant on Revo settings for misfire count etc.. but we'll soon find out. It might put it into limp mode which i wont really know about as the boost wont be cut as i have a boost controller.

Will also be trying the TB rotated 90 degrees after readin some info on vortex about air flow into the manifold.

90 degs makes a difference does it??? cant see how airflow changes by that??

good that you're keeping it. Still wanting to go BT?

As for brakes, in the pics you just posted really looks like you're still on 280mm (front) with small callipers, or is that just me not looking right?

edit:

just blew up your picture some, and now I see them.
my bad

 

[PhilW]

The discs are two piece so the surface you actually see might be a little less making them look smaller.
