erm i understand exactly how it will run, lets remember its running 1.4barr of boost pressure, i done more than enough research into intercooler size before ordering
joey, ill PM you as it always starts arguments on here
you top up the oil untill it starts coming back out, thats how you know its full, as well changing it while your doing it though!
probably a work gearbox mount
injectors are limiting to about 135/140bhp max, clutch is currently the limiter with torque but thats getting changed too, then im finished with it lol
lol i thought it would be about 140 indicated going by engine noise untill my mate took the picture and i looked at it afterwords, my last one (ph2 172) used to hit the limiter at 147 indicated)
think they work a bit better on the VAG engines but they have a habbit of killing delphi DCi engines lol
i paid £275 to have mine mapped...
Pro's
much quicker
much more torque
removes the standard cars torque limit (you can feel it limiting torque thru the rev range as standard)
better fuel...
engines go for loads regardless of millage most of the time so in parts any dci is worth around £1k, if hes clueless you could get it for the £7/800 mark
i know them inside out fire over any questions if you want
one word of advice, Torque the spark plugs properly!!!!! i rarely bother torqueing bolts when working on the car but too many horror stories of them blowing plugs out the head when not torqued properly, ive saw this happen to a mates 172 and its not pretty!
awesome read chic, really looking forward to seeing this in the flesh ive still never been a run in one hint hint, remember having a seat in alans old one at the RR day and it was an extremely nice place to be compaired to a 172!
ive not long had it, because i travel from stirling every day it wasnt worth having my last mint 172 and putting mega miles on it so thats why i sold it for the DCi then picked this up as a toy, been taking it to work more than the dci lately right enough lol
no my mate alan, recently sold it for a 106 rallye actually lol however he used T1-R's on it, they gripped really well, as well as tyres can grip 320bhp anyway lol
my t1-r's will quite happily nail 190lb/ft to the ground in the pissing rain exiting a bend/roundabout in 2nd gear!! danny for the money you wont get a better tyre, infact id even say they are safe to drive thru the clyde tunnel with!!
