[DaNnY_LaD]

Thanks mate...

Im Getting a full 3'' Stainless Steel System with 3'' Downpipe & De-cat too..But he's going to reducer it Down to 2.5 on the Milltek back box....As i don't have the extra funds to allow for a new backbox..

So should have it back Thursday then its My engine Rebuild & Methanol Next

Slowly getting there..

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Very nice Danny,

You change your mind more then i change my underwear.

Should be worth it when its running spot on and you can use the car to its full potential.

Thanks Mate..

Car got picked up this morning and towed to the exhaust place and ive asked him todo a full 3'' System inc Downpipe & de-cat...

Should have it Back thursday then I can start sourcing parts for my Engine Rebuild..

[DaNnY_LaD]

If your next door neighbour was in i can imagine her peering out giving you major evils, just cause she loves you so much lol

hahah That Would be entertaining...

Got some more Engine Bits this morning...

Ive been reading Wilko threads When he had a IHI on Revo stage 3 and he seen some excelent fiqures with it Plus it Performed briallint aswell
And he used the GT28.62 file and Pegged the boost...but Its still a Open option for me...

Bill seems the best option for me as he's already mapped a vf23 on a golf...IRRC...

As im getting the engine rebuilt next month & Chatting to Bill at the moment for some Prices on a Stage 2 Devil Methanol Kit...

Id like to run a 50/50 Mix of water & methanol to allow that bit more ...

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Started the Bodywork tonight as its a must for me...So got my bodyshop mate down with Curzon & Lauren to help us out...
It worked out easy to repair the standard bumper than it was to replace it with a new one as i wanted my FMIC fully on show...

Im no were near finished yet looking at another 5-6hrs Preping time before its ready for 2k Primer..Im Smoothing out the swadge lines & repairing the Cracks/scrapes Plus Neating up the side were the fmic goes..

It was the lad before me that done it...hit a hedgehog or summet...lol

Gonna get the bodywork up to scratch as its been doing my tits in for about a year now...

So gonna get it running and spend my Engine build money on a respray ...

 

[Bazzle]

Alright man, hows the new build goin?
Got your old turbo up and runnin, its f*ckin awsum. Got a question tho. I bought the same pipework kit as you, universal 63mm. But even with huge band clamps the hoses still blow off. How'd you stop this? get a ridge welded on? flare the end?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Its getting there now mate, looking a lot better, impressed with how that crack turned out. Let me know how that other side turns out, but al probs pop down on Thursday fella

 

[PhilW]

FPMSFL...I was Waiting for a comment of you phil..

Curzon: Ive took the other side off and its spot on needs trimming down a tad bit but its nearly there...

Bazzle: Il send you a txt now fella

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Howdo everyone..

Ive got a question for you..

I want to understand my AFR gauge abit more..Would would everyone class as Lean,Rich & optimin..

I have a innovate digi gauge...

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Good stuff mate, al come down tomorrow, am not working anyways so i can come down earlier this time and have a look! Get all them final bits done ready for primering. Know you've got all your jobs to do today lol

 

[pj1985]

Depending on how you are reading it 14.7 or 1 is stoich (sp). Higher than this is lean, lower than this is rich. 12 or 0.84 and below is rich/good on boost fuelling.

 

[eurodoba]

nice example love that colour

rich

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

So lower the number pj the richer it is? And higher the number the leaner?

 

[__B3NNY__]

So your going to be running IHI with over 145k? Somthings bound to give way sooner or later, i`d know what i`d be spending my money on.

It may look pretty after the re-spray but if it does decide to go pop it will only be looking pretty on your driveway.

Just my 2p

Meh Who says im running it with it mapped on Un built engine? Once the paints done then il get my engine done as il my parts are here..Just need 400quid..

 

[ibizacupra]

depends if you are readin ti as lambda or as AFR

Stoich is lambda=1.00 (14.7 AFR)
>14.7 is leaner
<14.7 is richer

12.0-12.5 is a good number for best torque/power (0.81-0.85 lambda)

watch your egts tho.. & CF timing pull

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Thanks Bill

Got off the phone early with craig and hes nearlly Finished my Downpipe...But it was gobsmacked How lack of room he had to work with next to the Rear Engine mount...

Anyway this is the downpipe tacked together and he's making my 3'' system with No silencer up 2morro...Im over the moon with it..
