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

[PhilW]

Oooh, thats good to know, keep meaning to get a throttle body adaptor plate made for my S4 TB. CNC machine?

Easy for me to do the drawings on solid works as thats my job. lol.

Thanks mate.

 

[Damoegan]

Unfortunitly we only have a little bridgeport type CNC machine and it only has single axis power so anything with a curve in it is hard to do

Finally. Coolant issues have gone as far as i can make out. New coolant pipes, heatshielding, slightly raised header and a damn good bleed later i think its sorted.

Haven't done a massive amount of miles, probably about 20 or when fully warmed up, or on full boost as my MAF is dead but that doesn't really matter as it would pressurise as soon as it got to temp without any boost as the coolant obviously wasn't circulating properly.

I can also see coolant flowing into the header tank after the engine has shut off so i know coolant is flowing through the turbo and through the after run pump, which is also working.

Very happy.

New MAF next and fit my S4 TB.

Glad to hear it's all going well Phil.

I have a bit of a query for you, my actuator is dead already and is leaking which is causing me issues went on a rolling road yesterday and only made 334bhp... Boosting to 1.74 and I was at 1.95-2bar.

I've reset the actuator but already today it's down again. What power does yours make at around 1.75bar of boost?

(I would of put this on my readers ride but it's gone missing)

 

[James.Judd.1]

Has this dropped again sinse yesterday Joe?

 

[PhilW]

1.5 bar gave me 350bhp. 1.8-1.9 bar give me 405+ as it was wheelspinning.

334bhp is low for 1.7bar imo.

I will be back on the dyno soon tho.

Well I couldn't get 1.95 out of it today around 1.93 however that's not enough to tell me anything yet. I will check in a few days.

Yes I agree, I'm running fairly rich as we weren't sure how accurate EGT positioning was but now that I know Alex saw ~850degs where the probe is I have around 100degs to play with. Hoping to get some fuel dialled out and make some more power.

Also did comp test and all cylinders are within 10% of each other. Highest at 200psi and lowest at around 180psi.

What's the situation with yours surging? Do you get any on the standard head and 9.25:1 JE's?

 

[PhilW]

Zero surging. External gate on mine remember.

What AFR's are you running? Im aim for and get between 11.5 to 12.0:1.

 

[joehirth]

Yes true!

AFR's are a lot richer than yours, looking at the graphs between 4500-5000RPM they drop from 12.5 to ~10.5 and going as low as 10 at 5500RPM.

Charlie at Surrey Rolling Road thought that a lot of power was being lost through running rich, although this was probably due to me loosing boost and still hitting the same AFR's.

What EGT's do you see?

 

[PhilW]

You got the graphs to post? If it's running rich that will kill the spool as well.

I haven't got egt setup yet but it's on my list.

 

[joehirth]

I can upload them at some point but I don't have anywhere to upload them to!

It's only rich once on boost, 12-13's beforehand.

 

[PhilW]

That's rich as well. You need to be leaner before boost onset to help spool.

Any logs? Actual vs requested, fuel trims and afr?

 

[joehirth]

What groups do I log, might take it for a drive at lunchtime tomorrow lol

 

[IbizaAlex]

Joe, get your damn thread back up rather than spamming Phil's! Lol

Anyways, your running way rich Joe. 11.5-12 all the way to 7k on most Revo maps.

It's good to see the water problem is hopefully fixed Phil.

 

[joehirth]

Alex - it's been deleted and can't be found

 

[PhilW]

lol @ Alex, thanks mate.

Ask m0rk to see if it can be re-instated joe.

 

[joehirth]

Phil, you got any 003 logs?

 

[ibizacupra]

Yes true!

AFR's are a lot richer than yours, looking at the graphs between 4500-5000RPM they drop from 12.5 to ~10.5 and going as low as 10 at 5500RPM.

Charlie at Surrey Rolling Road thought that a lot of power was being lost through running rich, although Wak thought otherwise.

What EGT's do you see?

I would concur with Surreys observation re fueling
is it sat that rich by design or is there an issue outstanding?

 

[PhilW]

Phil, you got any 003 logs?

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=177446&page=41

Loads of logs here and on the page after it.

I need to do some updated logs as those ones were before quite a few changes done since i logged it.

 

[joehirth]

Bill - I will start a new thread as to keep Phil's clean

Phil - ideally some up to date ones would be perfect, however were thos 003 logs the like that when you made you 405?
