my mods, as they happen

[gsxrboy]

first was the wheels, next job, lowering, full exhaust, remap and filter/induction kit. currently awaiting a quote from a company who can do the lot :D

[graemewelch]

what a difference the wheels make. got some new wheels to go on my motor to

[T5frankie]

get an "R" front bumper too

[AcidicDavey]

get an "R" front bumper too

As Frankie said, you'd beef the front end up so much for that meaner look!

[gsxrboy]

had a price. 299 for springs fitted and alignment. 499 for remap with dyno run before and after. and turbo back system with race cat. 850. all prices inc vat

[graemewelch]

sounds expensive to me. wear abouts are you. i can prob knock a few hundred quid of the exhaust. try hlm for remap am sure there £300. im heading that way shortly to get mine remaped

Did you only change 2 wheels then take the photo? the car looks like its leaning and i can see a peg in the background, 100% better though :)

[t5_monkey]

Lol LHS for posing, right hand side for daily!

Looks good on the pegs :) Looking forward to seeing this progressing and turning into a maccchine!

im in romford Essex. quote is from amd in thurrock.

I had my remap done by HLM and I drove from Luton and never regreted it.
It is worth to travel further and get the job done by specialist and enthusiast.
Hamish done as many runs as i wanted him to do cause i have lpg fited and i wanted to test it on both fuels before and after remap.
Definitely will always recommend HLM.

[gsxrboy]

hlm currently price the remap for mine @ £150

[claymore]

Waw, those prices are extortionate

As others have said - shop around, HLM is cheap for a remap and sounds steep for the exhaust, suspension with alignment - does that include the springs?

[gsxrboy]

yeah, all inclusive of springs etc

499 is remap only,850 is for exhaust only, if im reading your post correctly

I c,sorry got it wrong.U can send yr ecu toHLM and save the money.

[fassi1]

Can't argue.

[Rhys]

Fleabay sometimes turns up mapped ECU's, got myself a WothRline 265hp/300nm one for £65 posted (a quick email to Jan Ellwoth confirmed it we one of his)

[gsxrboy]

had an all work done in one place quote, £1380 inc vat, so that's springs supplied and fitted, remap and turbo back exhaust fitted. ( i did haggle a bit lol)

[gsxrboy]

gauge properly mounted although still to be wired in

Looking good mate, found yourself spending more time watching the needle rather than watching the road yet?
Don't worry, that habit wears off after a while lol.

holy cow i suppose thats where i can save a fortune by doing the work myself lol i'm going to remap mine, full exhaust, air filter etc springs and if it costs more than 400 quid i'll be annoyed lol

i thought your car was standard?

[Jamest5r]

i thought your car was standard?


Same as the debate in the 1/4 mile thread??? cant be bothered to look

[gsxrboy]

i thought your car was standard?

it is,thats a quote for work i have planned

[gsxrboy]

guess you could save money if you are able to remap yourself and fabricate a custom exhaust etc, which i can't :D

[Jamest5r]

it is,thats a quote for work i have planned

Ah ok i get ya but to be honest come up to the midlands mate could get that lot done for nearly half the price and im not joking :)

[T5frankie]

it is,thats a quote for work i have planned

well that price is way over the top

[Jamest5r]

Can get a whole engine swopped here for £250 lol :)

Sorry for the hijack ill get me coat :)

[T5frankie]

Sorry for the hijack ill get me coat :)

is it a much cheaper coat? lol

[Jamest5r]

is it a much cheaper coat? lol

Yes mate got no label though but made in the same factory with same materials and same quality but half the price :)

[merc85]

Like to see the break down of the prices, we all know a full custom exhaust can be expensive, Does that include a race cat?

[LiamT4]

Like to see the break down of the prices, we all know a full custom exhaust can be expensive, Does that include a race cat?

Full exhausts can be expensive. I was quoted £700 for a turbo back custom exhaust, with 100cell race cat. When i had my s70r.

[gsxrboy]

its a full turbo back system with sports cat, they originally quoted 299 for springs inc fitting and alignment, 499 for remap inc before and after dyno runs, and any runds to tweek the setup, and 895 for the exhaust. and it will cost me about £3 in fuel to get there and back. i factor in travel costs. also i don't have to take time off and as i'm self employed one day off is £200, so another factor to consider :)

[gsxrboy]

well that price is way over the top

depends on factors as i've listed :)

[gsxrboy]

Ah ok i get ya but to be honest come up to the midlands mate could get that lot done for nearly half the price and im not joking :)

i'd have to have time off work, i'd lose £200 a day.

[claymore]

I'm certainly glad I can do all my own work, I could no way justify that sort of money on an old volvo.

[gsxrboy]

I'm certainly glad I can do all my own work, I could no way justify that sort of money on an old volvo.

i would if i could, i do modify my bikes and do all the work with the exception of spraying, most work is bolt on but i have modified a frame in the past, not a task to be taken lightly. but, in doing own work there are no warranties etc, so peace of mind comes at a cost i guess. :)

[gsxrboy]

well that price is way over the top

so what would you see as a reasonable quote for all that work?

[gsxrboy]

first dyno run was with the new exhaust but standard map. 241bhp. after re map 286bhp and 357ft lb torque. will post printout up when i get to a pc. was running 95 Ron fuel and it was a tad warm yesterday :-)

[theflyingbrick]

very nice,thats a good gain mate cant wait to see how it performs :)

[gsxrboy]

some pics :)

[T5frankie]

that some serious torque figures for just a map

[LiamT4]

Thats a hell of a torque increase. Surely you had more than just a map and exhaust to get an extra 110lb/ft?

[merc85]

Well done mate, looks like it was worth the Doller.

[T5frankie]

usually you need an map and an mbc to get that torque figure, thats the same as my 19t with full straight through exhaust running at 18 psi with an mbc

[gsxrboy]

just remap and full exhaust, that's all. they suggested i get an intercooler to combat heat soak. but for now it'll do :D
it's hitting 16/17psi.

[LiamT4]

How new is the clutch? You might find out it starts to go with all that extra power, if its old.

[smithy]

whats the whp mate and thats a good torque increase mate

[T5frankie]

bet its flying now should get over 100mph now on the 1/4 for real lol

[spesh]

R front bumber next maybe???????????
made my old V70 look rather nice

its on the agenda :)

[gsxrboy]

whats the whp mate and thats a good torque increase mate

no idea, i guess there's and equation to work it out

[T5frankie]

no idea, i guess there's and equation to work it out

dont worry about the whp figure lol its the bhp figure that will be correct on a dyno, bet its alot quicker now, you going to north weald on the 17th?

[gsxrboy]

i plan too, although driving it tonight its not boosting as much as it had since the re map,might invest in new hoses.

[merc85]

Exhaust sounds Spot on buddy, what make is it?

[gsxrboy]

Exhaust sounds Spot on buddy, what make is it?

custom made by amd in thurrock in essex, sports cat and two baffles(if you can call them that lol)

[T5frankie]

i plan too, although driving it tonight its not boosting as much as it had since the re map,might invest in new hoses.

higher boost will pop hoses off every now and then same thing happened to mine, the one on top of the turbo was loose no wonder i was only getting 6 psi lol and not being able to overtake diesels lol

[gsxrboy]

well, i've ordered an mbc, my boost reappeared again yesterday like it did last friday,but was back to standard today so the tcv is being bypassed and we'll see if that was the problem.

[gsxrboy]

mbc fitted, tcv bypassed, missing boost returns :-D

[theflyingbrick]

did you find your electrical gremlin??

[gsxrboy]

the mbc seems to have sorted it so im assuming the tcv was dodgy.

[gsxrboy]

well fc uk my luck, the day after i fitted the mbc my boost vanished, underbonnet checks revealed plastic hose popped off from airbox to turbo, so re-attached it, boost back again..yay. today, back down to 10psi ffs. can't see any detached hoses this time, i'm considering just going back to my 540i!!

[y2blade]

:( ah...not so good then

I hope you sort it quickly and without too much ££'s

[theflyingbrick]

bloody hell 1 step foward and 2 back!! it shouldnt be anything complicated stick with it mate,it'll be worth it in the end ;)

[gsxrboy]

blooody thing, had a poke about, wiggled hoses, checked connections etc, wiggled actuator rod, everything seemed fine, drove it, full boost back.....ffs, im thinking the wastegate is sticking open, so next week i'll be looking closer :)

[gsxrboy]

back to 9psi this morning.....aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[Kingsford G]

Dont get sidappoinnted mate cos it is something simple,pipes,actuator,recirc valve just go through step by steb.

[gsxrboy]

after much skinning of knuckles i can say my waster gate is working normally so the only thing that is causing my intermitant boost loss is the recirc valve, so it's coming off a a forge dump valve is going on :)

[gsxrboy]

http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/yy123/dunk1100/2012-07-11173305.jpg
dump valve and filter fitted :)
also half leather seats fitted but no pic just yet, it fricken hammered it down just as i finished fitting them :D

[dionbullock]

Looking good buddy!! Wish i had the funds to do this to mine!! especially the v70 R bumper & remap!! Damm me7 ecu!!

[gsxrboy]

boost was back all the time i drove it yesterday....*scratches head
anyhoo. boost gauge now wired up, as is the newly installed electric drivers seat. :D

[timbo]

Is there much of a difference with the new intake pipe fitted(Turbo spool/induction noise)???? Been looking at these for a while but cant help think its alot of dollar?????

[gsxrboy]

only driven it to the shop and back, in heavy traffic so cant say yet. all writes up saw on this type listed flow benefits, in the same way a larger exhaust allows more flow :)

[Saaamon]

Where did you get that pipe from?

[T5frankie]

where did you stick the breathers and plugs?

[gsxrboy]

sorry guys, didn't see the replies/questions, intake pipe bought from sekretvolvo on ebay. i've routed the oil overflow pipe to the airbox base until i can fit a catch tank
17400
also had these made up, the reg was meant to go on my gsxr1000k6.. but it got stolen and time was running out to either put it on a vehicle or extend retention, so on the t5 it goes :)
