More to come on both my cars

So I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare I switched to a 172 coil pack after ditching the r8 coils and it hasn’t started since turns out a 172 coil pack doesn’t have an igniter (whatever that is) so the adaptronic won’t run it so the custom made bracket custom ht leads all are useless yay
On top of that by using the 172 coil it may. Have damaged my ecu double yay
So to solve the immediate problem I’m now using some sort of vw coil with a built in igniter and some random leads which are look like they won’t fit that nicely but they will fit and have had to get a new custom bracket made but that at least that looks great

Here’s the custom downpipe I had made I decided to go over the subframe as I hated the last one going under

New oil feed to clear the downpipe and over the subframe instead of under

I went for a valved system so I can have it loud and very quiet

. Great seeing it come together, real nice work and parts. It’s going to be epic.

Small update it now runs and drives it doesn’t idle yet but mapping is on Saturday hopefully that will get sorted out
197 clio 16v
That will be pretty quiet with 3 silencers in. My trophy has two decent silencers on a 3" system and barely makes any noise.
I would have got the cutout pre silencers for maximum asbo
It’s. Actually a valved system that I can switch between one box and three so I can have the best of both worlds Asbo and quiet
197 clio 16v
So mapping happened today car surpassed all my expectations safe to say I’m very happy with the results and yes it is insanely fast

Yeah 26.9 psi the turbo had more to give but we were at the safe limits of the fuel pump so had to call it a day there
197 clio 16v
Yes there was a power difference 3bhp I suppose that shows how good the exhaust is
197 clio 16v
So one of my core plugs had a tiny little drip I destroyed it getting it out but I’m pretty sure it had rusted through not creeping around the outside I also changed the starter motor while I was there as it seemed a little. Intermittent
197 clio 16v
So I’ve been out in it a few days now yes with the leaky core plug I couldn’t resist didn’t even have to top up the coolant and the question I expect everyone wants to know is can it get 413 bhp to the floor ? I’m happy to report yes it can very much so ! It’s the way Chris maps them he’s just so good att it yes the big turbo Makes it laggy (fun) but it even comes on boost it’s so controlable
And I don’t think I mentioned it before but we managed to get the boost by gear working by connecting the speed input to the little wire that come off the speedo cable despite Peter saying it wouldn’t work
so in 1st and second it only uses spring pressure to hold the wastegate closed and that’s 300bhp we couldn’t make it make any less than that then 3rd upwards it has the full 413 I also have utilised a old fog light (to look oem) switch a so a boost cut switch that allows it to run 300bhp all the time if I want to but I haven’t pressed it yet lol
Chris also enabled launch control set to 5,000 rpm but I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet but should help a little to get it off the line
All that said it is insanely fast it pulls in fifth like it pulls in second it fifth gear
will pull it off the clock in seconds it’s absolute madness how it goes from 120 to 150 I’ve never driven anything quite like it I’m very happy with it

Been having a pretty bad wheel bearing drone so while it was off I took thee opportunity to remove the camber shim
197 clio 16v
Im starting to think that the jc5 isn’t going to be enough I’m considering a o2j or o2m gearbox

Spent a little time making the rev counter work

Vw box is the way forward.
197 clio 16v
It’s the only real option however it complicates the Speedo situation

You can buy boxes that go on the cable to make it work, using a vss sensor and toothed ring on the shaft. Something like below.
Electric to Mechanical Speedometer Cable Drive Conversion
Have you put a modern transmission into your classic car, but want to keep your factory mechanical speedometer working?

Turbo apart for boost leaks around the housing I also found a few boost leaks around the idle speed control valve the inlet air temp sensor and the shaft the throttle bodie butterfly sits on
197 clio 16v
And a new even bigger fuel pump as the walbro 255 couldn’t suppply enough fuel last time to push for any more power
