CasperGTI Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just a little update. Working on charger cooler mk3.... This time its going to work!Bit of a loom tidy up and wired in the vvt finally for mapping on monday.Fitted some cambridge lights, and bought some ecs 20mm and 12.5mm spacers, 20mm rubs on the rear arches atm, so running the 12.5's now and a 5 on the front. Nothing too special really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr ColinG Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I like it. Just needs a Mk6 gearknob to match.

CasperGTI Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Cheers colin Nice update tomorrow... aslong as i remember to take the camera with me.Rolling road time, and fitting smaller pullley with the water jacket working well i hope.Need to work on cold start too.Excited, i am yes. Fingers crossed for a good power output. Edited December 13, 2009 by CasperGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Gettign interesting it is now, but also very taxing. The mapping is no way near finished yet and its going to be a hard old day tomorrow to get it all right.Water cooler jacket is on and working, seems to be doing a good job, charger operatin temp seems to be about 70-80 degrees when sat still, so with airflow it might drop a little more. Air inlet temps are 18-27deg including sitting at idle for a good 30 mins. So thats good, getting a stable idle is proving to be difficult as load from the fans, headlights and even the radio seem to affect the car by about 100-200rpm.Got a fairly good map in to it, and then took it for a drive. By 80-85% throttle the injectors were at max, so have now had to go up to 4.2bar of fuel pressure, we dont know if this will be ebnough though still, and will slowly affect the fuel spray pattern. Might have to upgrade injectors to 320cc's as there is obviouslt more power to be found there, which is exciting. Wheelspin in 3rd gear is always promising!Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow. Althought i never know with this car, likes to throw spanners in the works all the time!Looking forward to it being savage again.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yesterday was a good days mapping, really learnt alot about the car, and it really hit home in how much intake air temperatures make a difference. Yesterdays mapping was done with a 62mm pulley giving me a solid 10psi of boost from 3000-7000rpm. There is still power left int he car, i think i will have to make a 58mm and a 55mm pulley and try then out for boost pressures and intake temperatures. As a good 15-20bhp more can probably be acheived with more advance on the ignition and a few more psi of boost at the right time!We were seing that a difference of 18 degrees in intake temps give a change of 23bhp!Spent most of the day off the rollers, and driving about whilst mapping it on the road, Air temperature compensation really has to be precise with this engine as it seemed that an increase in 5 degrees would affect the idle a great deal.After we finished that part of the mapping, we got on the rollers and started to play with the vvt.Its now set to come on at 4000rpm, and when the throttle is at more than 60%. And it makes a difference, 15bhp at peak power, so it is useful!Power..... 206bhp at the wheels! Which if you use approximate calcuators its is about 240bhp at the flywheel. But that figure is probably well off, each drivetrain has different run down figures, so it would take quite a bit of maths to get it right.Im running out of injector duration again, so i think when i go to the smaller pulley, i will also have to go to some 320cc injectors too. Theres still more power in it, thats one thing im certain of!Water jacket has a very small leak, its amaising how well that thing works though, all i need to do is stick some radiator leak fix in it and hopefully it will be fine.For now, thats it.

T211 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Words almost fail me on what a superb build this is and your efforts, skill and guts!!! One question - what's the VMaxScart emblem on your inside bonnet about? Did they make your pulleys? I've been thinking about theirs for a while for my M45.Cheers,Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Vmaxscart is my friends company, we did all my tuning and modified the chargers there.I'm currently researching.... Water/meth injection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Thats straight off the jack, so it will come down a little more when i roll it.Camber shims tomorrow i hope. and going to try with adjusters out.
