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

[PhilW]

Thanks bill.

Ebc off. Wg pressure is about 15psi which I think gave about 270whp

Lo - 21psi gave 310whp

Hi - 26-27psi gave 350whp but with wheelspin so probably more than that.

Glad to hear your build is coming together, mapping been tricky on it?

 

[ibizacupra]

mapping is being an arse on it tbh

very similar numbers from this one to yours

 

[PhilW]

Sounds great bill, when are you gettin full boost by? Anything like mine as it looks verrryyy similar spec.

 

[ibizacupra]

aye, spool is dissapointing tbh
1bar 4krpm then it rips
liams polo was 1bar before 3500rpm on its t3t04e 57trim

 

[PhilW]

Yeah I was disappointed with it as well, I'm thinking maybe using a core as big as I did not such a great idea now. I think seans is roughly the same size, any thoughts on changing it?

 

[ibizacupra]

I have overlayed the spool against a gt2x and other gt30, and its not quite as fast spooling as the other gt30, but faster than the gt2x (which this car ran previously), but 410bhp not mid 200bhp region.
some more fiddling to do on map, so its not over yet...

 

[PhilW]

Wow goes to show how bad the GT2x.

Im still thinking about changing my core on this setup to try and help spool. 2.5" pipework and a core with 3" inlet/outlet, 76mm thick, 600x300 so thats over 13.5 liters so fill!

 

[ibizacupra]

tufftys T25 gt30 on internal gate spools slightly faster, which is a comparison I can do on my dyno..
I have a few others to mull over.
fueling before spool is what I am working on, to help it get going sooner..

holding the thing on the dyno is fun lol

 

[PhilW]

Is tuftys large port and the ibiza standard small port?

Spool wise leaning out didnt make that much of a difference i found on mine, maybe 200rpm or so, but still helps regardless.

Bet it rips when comes on boost and scary at the same time like you say. Any issues on cooling? Intake and coolant temps looking alright? (something i need to work on)

cooling fine, ait's and egt's all very good. gains 13'c over start/ambient during a power run.
engine mounts need to be race ones for this power... i video'd its run this morning and by eck its trying to get out of the engine bay!

new #1 on badger5 top ten now too.. found a little more power in it.

373bhp atw

 

[PhilW]

Wooohoo! Good effort bill! You driven the thing yet? Any logs?

That graph looks exactly like what im predicting mine to look like when theres no wheelspin.

Thats one thing im happy with, those cheapo Blackforest mounts are superb, next to zero movemt on the dyno pulls ive done.

I need to pay you a visit now. lol.

 

[PhilW]

Finally fitted a new header tank and injectors and took it for a spin.

Forgot how mental the thing is.

Think i need to put some fresh petrol in (has to be at least 7 months old now lol) or a coilpack is on its way as it seems to be breaking up at high rpm.

WOT was seeing mid 11's AFR when i could actually look at the gauge. lol. Header tank has made zero difference to the coolant pressure situtation, top rad hose still gets pretty solid.

Im not going to drive it now until i sort the oil return out as well, fed up of waiting for the pressure to drop before i can drive it without it smoking.

Have you spoken to Alex about the return? He's making me one at the moment...

 

[PhilW]

Its difficult to get one made without seeing mine as the turbo position and hard pipe section is all custom made. Need to do something tho.

I know that with the BDM kits Alex buys in OE Audi returns cuts them and welds a boss with custom pipe lengths on after the hard pipe, maybe this is a solution?

 

[ibizacupra]

essentially identical to what I did on seans gt30 ibiza

 

[PhilW]

And pretty much what i have on mine, with the additon of some funky pipe fittings.

Will post up pics soon.

 

[PhilW]

She still cleans up pretty well...

More stuff needs to be painted black now, dipstick, header tank cap and brake reservoir cap stands out like a sore thumb.

 

[MarkWales]

looking real good there

 

[Robbie C]

Awesome Phil - any close up pics of the bay?
