Hi, I have lupo tdi with revo and it was brilliant. The map made the power so smooth, not snappy, especially from 3-5 k rpm

Matt, your not confused, your correct, you have to deduct atomspheric pressure from absolute. Atmposhepheric is normally quite close from 990 millibars to 1 bar, so 1.3 bar is correct which is 18.8604 psi, John

Hi, How about adding a larger turbo. I wondered if the v6 tdi could be adapted, as in half of 6 cylinders =? Some of you might remember me at stealth with my silver lupo. I only owned it for 3 months but I loved it. Anyway, I decided to get something with 1.9 tdi engine and bought a fabia tdi pd100 which allard's modified to 181 bhp and 302 lb/ ft. As Iam moving to Oz around xmas time I am having to sell it. It's on ebay, just enter the search words allard and fabia. Much respect to this forum! John

Hi, I used to have a lupo. My fabia 1.9 tdi pd100 (181/ 300lb ft) intercooler temp dropped at max by 25 degrees from 90 to 65. It would get to 90 degrees if i pressed on in under 10 seconds before i had the front mounted intercooler fitted. Hope this helps? John N.B measures using vag-com

I a word: HEATSOAK Have you seen the tiny little intercooler behind the dirvers side front wheel. The remap has caused to much additional heat which is not helped by the hot spell. Solution is a front mounted intercooler of larger size. Get vag-com to record heat and if it goes up to around 90 degrees you have hit the problem. Hope this helps? John

Thanks for the reply, Any idea where the car is now plse. Best wishes John

Hi, I have heard of such a car. Wondered where you got the hybrid turbo from and what spec it is. For example vnt17 body vnt15 vanes? Are the conrods and pistons completely transferable ? Did you have the car rolling road tested? Do the maths 1422/3 * 4 =1896 Thanks for your post John

Hi, Does anyone know the differences between 1.4 tdi 75bhp and the audi a2 1.4 tdi sport 90 bhp engines. If it's turbo and injectors it could be the route for soem modifying. Best wishes John

oh i c yr a wind up merchant - stealth racing high respect

No, it's actually producing that power! Had an acceleration runs with remapped fabia vrs running between 160-170bhp with the 6 speed box and my modded pd100 pulled away no problem. To my knowledge Stealth has an 'accurate' r.road. Lupo/Arosa club went there last year and nobody complained! Best wishes John

Hi, I did the same as you did. Xmas 2004 I bought 1.4 tdi lupo sport great little car had it revo'd, I loved it ! Then 3 months went buy and I thought about more power. Cut along story short, I part ex'd the lupo for a fabia 1.9 tdi pd100 of the same year. Since then i have spent £2K and it's producing 181 bhp and 301 lb ft according to stealth racing rolling road today. I agree it ain't got a great kudos, but my god it's a great 'sleeper'. Best wishes John

Hi, Allards have got some great injectors that would really make the think fly! Ever thought about upgrading to a hybrid turbo? Best wishes John

Nikki, Torque vs power question. Example, motorcycle engine in a car - no torque lots of power - still go fast but because of lack of torque it would take ages to accelerate the weight. What da ya think? John Fabia tdipd100 stage 3 allard 321 lb ft, 182 bhp

Hi, I have a panel filter (cylindrical shape) for 1.4 tdi pd it's done less than 2000 miles. I will accept £20 plus P+P Best wishes johnyardley@bigfoot.com
