johnny g Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Very nice JG Cheers Graham Good figures JG, you must be pleased with that result. Very happy mate. I was expecting 630bhp-ish, but the torque is around 20lb/ft up on what I was expecting. So pretty good really. The SRD FMIC and the Whifbitz 102mm exhaust make it so much more accessible and consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 true that power is so instant , just a quick one why does the boost drop off back to 1 bar from 1.4 surely if you kept it at 1.4 you would make more power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 true that power is so instant , just a quick one why does the boost drop off back to 1 bar from 1.4 surely if you kept it at 1.4 you would make more power Im sure this must have something to do with safe gaurding the Gearbox, as I am sure that Johnny would be reaching the maximum safe Torque figure, without getting his gears treated/upgraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I believe the stock turbos run out of puff at the top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yea, true. Just look after the torque in the midrange and they are monsters. It's not cost a huge amount though: - SRD stage 4 ~ £2500 - Milltek Cast Downpipes ~ £360 - Whifbitz 102mm exhaust ~ £1300 - SRD FMIC ~ £1200 - Ecutek remap ~ £800 I have also gone for bigger brakes and a better overflow bottle for cooling.

johnny g Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well, a small update. I've had a fair amount done to the car (not engine) over the last few weeks. Firstly, the Litchfield suspension upgrade has transformed the ride quality. It's now a lot more comfortable and has removed (most of) the understeer that you can get when pressing on, more importantly, it retains the factory integration with Race, Normal and Comfort modes. It's superb. I then had the audio completely overhauled. Just a few pics of the updates. I have a non-Bose car. Upgrade this time was:- New Hertz HSK 165XL High Power 2 Way Front Speakers Install Bit One Processor Install Planet Audio BB75.4 Power amp (bridged for 2 x 150w) Install carbon dipped Bose cover for the subs Integrate existing Sundown sub amp into Bit One control Dip and Install extended carbon trim pack for the interior panels Tune up the Bit One for driver focus These Hertz 165XL drivers will take up to 250w RMS so serious bits of kit ! Top quality Audison Reference and Competition Wiring and Solid Brass Components used throughout Amp and bit one hidden out of the way with a USB lead available to bring out under the seat for laptop tuning New Bose cover to replace the non-Bose cover and some nice carbon dipping All hidden speakers so looks factory fit Very happy with it The latest EcuTek version 4 managed to eek out a few more bhp, so I'm now at 633bhp and 638lb/ft.

johnny g Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Must admit, I'm tempted by a set of BBS LM's for it next, for the summer. Thanks for the kind words, guys. Nothing spectacular, it's pretty much perfect at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
