mike12 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think it is between 0.7 and 0.8 bar if memory serves me correctly. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbcuprat Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I Guess this looks well out in terms of boost. Boosting 0.55Bar and holding 4Bar. I think I've got a bust N75 valve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a safe remap to just under 0.9 and a bit more banzai one at 1.0 bar. HTH BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 By the way tbcuprat I liked your plots from a couple of weeks back. Your car looked fine from what I could see. BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUB [/ QUOTE ] You know what I messed up on converting millibar to psi. I used (millibar - atmos /1000) forgot to muliply the figure by 14.5 to make psi. So the results I actually posted were bar. It took me a few days to work it out. By the way, all this was for preperation for the Star DPT remap. Jim's given me the first file and I thought it was quite week at the top so he's giving me a revised file for better top end. I'm at marlin RR this weekend so I will be able to find out how much power it's putting out. Mods are.

Don't expect miracles from the 190ps engine though. The standard turbo is only a K03 and it really can't flow the air at the top end........ You'll need a K04 or a GT28 for that!

tbcuprat Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 [ QUOTE ] is the above easy to do on vag com? im wondering if i have a boost leak somewhere [/ QUOTE ] Download this. Link to Excel Spreadsheet on Ross-tech Website In Vag-com go to measuring blocks and enter block 115. Only log one block to ensure the maximum sample rate. Click Log. Then Start when your ready and rolling down the road. Get up to third as quickly as you can and keep the revs at 2000rpm. Floor it to the redline. Stop the logging. Place the results in the spreadsheet. 1st Column will be rpm. 2nd Column will be Requested Boost. 3rd Column will be actual boost. Click to the other sheet to view your pretty picture.

tbcuprat Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Will be checking out the turbo options next September. But for now I think I'm done. Oh I've been offered some brakes from the B5 S4 HP-2 calipers. Trouble is I'm not sure if they will fit behind the RS6 alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbcuprat Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Your dealer has the equipment to log real time information but does not have the flexibility to do what's mentioned above. I don't know what I would do without vag-com it's such a versatile application and has been used on many friends and family’s cars. Off topic... I have a friend who we regularly log his car. Every time we go out the first fault code logged is. Maximum engine speed exceeded warranty void. Cracks me up every time. The car is heavily tuned...

Chrisg Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm sure that the brakes fit behind the RS alloys BUT the calipers are really heavy and the discs are equally heavy.Depends on the prices ?? If they are really cheap.... It is possble to get two piece discs , they are much lighter and much more expensive. I try and work on reducing unsprung weight - within some financial constraints ! thcuprat-- how did the inlet pipe fitting go? Is the the silicone one on Forge's site?

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the advice. The calipers are free I just need to pay for the money that the guys spent on them already(Stainless braided hoses) plus shipping. Should I would worry about the weight as it's quite a big lump anyway or am I missing the point? The forge TIP was fairly easy to do although my hands are scuffed up quite a bit but I have had worse fighting with the cat. The TIP was released by forge only a week ago.

Chrisg Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 OK, well at almost free them I suppose it's worth a go. Always worth reducing unsprung weight if you can as it helps the ride quality/handling. ScoTTy used the ECS two piece discs on his B6 S4 and reckoned it was a noticable difference in the ride. Yeah, I've looked at the pipe area and there aint much room ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
