Ape's LCR225 Thread (Getting Back on the Road)

[Ape]

I'm aware of that pal, the point I was trying to get across was that the 200bhp/ton wasn't going to bad too difficult to achieve. Good thing about the majority of weight loss is that... it's free!!

I looked at series like the clio challenge and things like that, but I love turbo'd motoring too much and couldn't part with my LCR for a non turbo, let alone French!

never make that mistake again!

 

[Ape]

No worries there bud!

 

[Ape]

I was out for a bit of blast in the Shed and with it being -1*c here last night, the power readout on the LG was 285bhp, intake temps were around 11*c and the g/s were 202 peak. Does this sound a bit down on power using the g/s figure? (Which I guess is the more accurate number to use). These readouts were at different parts of the journey, not at a constant speed or loading etc.

Thoughts?

 

[sambryant]

Those gs reading = 253. Looks like somethings not right. Intake temps were good

Could be the maf starting to pack up? You want to be pulling around 228g's for around 285bhp. Anyway, have you got a 3" tip on there yet?

 

[Ape]

I've got Forge's TIP on there at the mo, looking to sell it and get Bill's contraption when funds allow. Will try a clean of the MAF first, it's done 75K miles so it's due a bit of TLC

 

[Ronin225]

Does sound a bit low Ad, i pulled nearly 199g/s on my OE map a couple of weeks back
New Maf sounds a good plan

 

[Ape]

Damn I'll start off with the cheaper option at the mo, thorough clean. White Spirit or Soapy Water?

 

[D.K]

I've just put a new MAF on mine after pulling a 206 G's on a logging run, I've not relogged it since the new MAF went on but it feels a lot better, might be worth servicing the DV aswell if you've got a 007

Neither, use electrical contact cleaner

 

[Ape]

Cheers DK, although I've got a Dual Port jobby. Might be worth taking it apart and give it some TLC.

Thanks 8Bit, I'll grab some ready for the cleanup

 

[Ape]

I've found this part number for the MAF - 0 280 218 063

Is that right for the BAM Engine?

Thankyou please fella's and fellarette's

 

[RDS]

The MAF part number is 06A 906 461M

 

[Ape]

Is that a Bosch code buddy?

 

[Ape]

Yes it is, I forgot I had google. Cheers bud

 

[Ben-L-CupraR]

car looks awsome!

 

[Ape]

Cheers bud, got a long way to go still, and it'll be coming off the road soon for a while.

 

[joshbennett]

I have seen you out and about a fair few times. Went past you on the 449 on my bike before christmas.

Its the best looking lcr i have seen by far!

Let me know when you come to sell the forge tip as i live just outside stourport and cant afford one at full rrp! cheers

 

[Ape]

Ah the 449, Camera Alley! Having a bike is the best thing to be on on that bloody road! Do you wave at the Scamera Vans? Give them a salute from me next time you pass them (whilst being on the back wheel is optional )

Cheers dude, it gets mixed opinions but I like it

I might be selling it soon(ish) and I'll let you have first refusal. Will let you know once plans are finalised.

Today the Tax reminder came through, and as of the end of the month it will be SORN'ed for a few reasons, but it should be back with a vengeance when it's all done
