you also want to make sure set-up i.e mapping is of high standard, it can make/break the install....

dont get a turbo engine alla bbpt....its not proper!! a nice t.b install is what you want, unless your willing to spend the money and build a PROPER turbo engine...

if your wanting turbo work, DONT get a "kit". the engine needs to be redeveloped to work properly with forced induction, NOT a sandwiche plate and crappy turbo header. as always, totally depends on your budget.... NA..cams, headwork, itb's, decent rebuild (nicely toleranced) with forged...

i think you are still confusing compressive and tensile stress issues. yes, your right there are stress concentration issues, but you are confusing how they effect a con-rods performance...due to tens/comp. as for bolts, you havnt really explained WHY they are better: they have a wasted...

the current map sensor and ecu wont read anything above atmospheric pressure, 1bar absolute. so if you increase the manifold pressure the ecu simply wont have any fuelling values for positive pressure. towing/trailor would be the best option. butre u have pm mate

it could be if the install/mapping was crap....this wot i was meaning earlier bout "the chicken and the egg"...its hard to say wot happened first sometimes ina series of event sthat lead to mahjor failure. 1) poorly mapped, det could haved cause piston failure, and holed the block....under...

lol change pubs at least it could be argued that they would loose energy going up a hill......for example. either way, its no biggy....

there arent any down points as such... my stock one is lightened by the max u can (trigger pattern removed, cant remember exact weight). someone mentione "jerkiness"...well, all i can say is that when u come off the throttle, thereis a slight increase in "jerk"...but it certainly isnt...

lol its very much on topic is it not??

PMSL mate i think its the other way round here....."everyone" seemed to be disagreeing with YOU...maybe you need to do some learning? like i said, this isnt opinion/belief...its FACT.

yeah sure....personnaly i always try tooffer advise to anyone that i can help....via fone/msn etc etc...its never ending sometimes!! but theres always gonna be the time where some one says straight "can anyone supply and fit cams", or "who can build my an engine" etc etc and naturally i, and...

pass me the saw....!

"kits" arent supplied from jenvey or kms....they supply components that a tuner will make a "kit" from for a specific application. kms is far cheaper than other equivalents. gains are going to be dependent on installation/component type (size/length etc) and mapping.

^^^agree tho the internet is a main source of advertising, especially club forums....so there going to be times where a company offers their services if someone asks about them.

that isnt always favourable ;)

the wideband self mapping function is an extra interface, but even with that additional cost, the management is far cheaper than other sytems without adaptive mapping. andy, what technical problems can be sovled by email a map table?

maps that are inevitably non-specific to any other engine.... meaning any anomolys in the calibration could easily passed off as "oh well it wasnt mapped on this engine here"

LOL war of the tuners? sounds like a comic mag! i have no chip on my shoulder at all...i have no reason to. im passionate about what i do, and when i see imo exploitation, substandard work, and customers being mis-lead buy ANY "tuning" company.....it annoys me slightly. buy hey, any...

all that email says to me (and any other intelligent reader) is... "GDI buy an FIT (where does it say map???) our sytems...they have done a lot of them (so?). if you have no luck, contact us again (bit pessimistic considering the supposedly highly recomend them?)"

have they ever seen specific mappiing work from GDI? maybe as a regular customer, they recomend him, simply becasue he buys from them?? there have been examples of poor managment calibration....enough said...and thats where my opinion comes from, actual proof rather than a recomendation froma...

Richard Wragg defo hasnt ever recommended GDI to me.....

hmmm tbh, from what iv seen, that would put potential buyers off....if they knew the score that is. IMO of course.

who mapped it?

if u cant do it yourself, pay someone who can....mind you, theres plenty of people out there taht cant map for s**t...so be warned

inlet would be best from jenvey or chadil (preferably jenvey). this is the hardware im using in my t.b kits for the F7 engines. self mapping on the fuelling side of things if u use the lambda interface. cuts r/r time down to lierally an hour (if that).

mate this isnt about different tuning methods within the same industry....this is fundamental engine desgin and analysis. this isnt my OPINION on the subject, this is what ACTUALLY HAPPENS....whether YOU understand/agree or not!

forged pistons-circa 400 h-section rods-circa (complete with high tensile cap bolts) 500 +vat dynamically balanced cranktrain (grey area, but i'd do it out of course anyway) that wot i run BE on my personal car. then u would want to look at revised valve-gear depending on cams/rpm etc

yes mate i am indeed. you can tell me its not true all you like mate, im telling you it is!! ive explained in real life terms what ACTUALLY happens (not hear-say on ford forums) why the rod bolts would be ok....NOW, you explain to me why the bolts would fail under increased cylinder pressure...

ive got a couple of 1.8 16v lumps....could fit one of those if ur intrested. pm me

i would say the reason if/why the conrod would would crack the block i.e. fail at the cap, is more likely that the increased cylinder pressure/compressive force is forcing oil out of the bearing shell=over-heating and failure that way. even then it would take a far bit of pressure for the...
