1998 V70 R - More "OOMPH"

[Palmer]

Yo guys! :D

Ive got a few things to sort out on the ole gal before I actually start doing anything, but I was just wondering what "can" be done for a few extra ponies.

Obviously I can get a rica ecu, is it advisable to then fit a MBC and crank it up a few lbs?

Long term plans will be a custom zorst and tighten her up with polybushes and braces (is a big ole barge afterall!)

Also what turbo is standard on my car?

Cheers DOODS!

[T5frankie]

if you have long term plans leave the mbc off mate, and it will have an 18t

[LiamT4]

Is it a manual or an auto? If its an auto i'd stay away from an mbc.

auto+mbc=bent rods

[T5frankie]

its a manual but i'd still say no mbc lol

[Biff]

I'm wet behind the ears here but what's mbc? Also heard a few of you talk of a rip kit? I feel like an amateur! Lol

Manuail Boost Controller, Reverse intercooler piping

[Biff]

Right.... Cheers for that. Understand both mods, just the avbreviations had me lost. Lol

[p fandango]

Also heard a few of you talk of a rip kit?
fitted to early T-5's the pipework is alot shorter & straighter

[Biff]

From what I've read it slightly improves throttle response?
As for a manual boost controller I've had experience with a bleed valve & I'm leaving that §§§§ well alone!!! Lol

[p fandango]

From what I've read it slightly improves throttle response?
its a noticable difference

As for a manual boost controller I've had experience with a bleed valve & I'm leaving that §§§§ well alone!!! Lol
a proper MBC is alot better than a bleed valve, i'd still be using one if i hadn't upgraded to a EBC (electric boost controller)

[Biff]

I had an electronic one on my primera gti-r. Was good fun but for my needs now I think a remap will suffice. I'll look into the rip kit though, if it makes that much difference for cheap £ I'll be happy.

[Palmer]

Why am I best not to use an MBC?

I used a forge unos MBC on my old 940, nice bit of kit but was around £110

auto+manual boost controller = bent conrods

answer above pal

[Kingsford G]

I only used mbc on my 1st 850 for a little bit,good spool up but better safe than sorry for a daily drive so stick to standard 1.

I see better if you like your car with an engine that runs then lol

Mines a manual :D





Whats a blanking plate do? o_O

indeed




Whats a blanking plate do? o_O

Gives a nice old mans chutter lol

[Biff]

Blanks off the standard re-circ mate.

[Kingsford G]

The chutter is nice I`ve heared it in merc85`s car also a good DV like frankie has is good,either way u have to blank it off.

[Palmer]

Why do u have to blank it off??

So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D

[T5frankie]

Why am I best not to use an MBC?

I used a forge unos MBC on my old 940, nice bit of kit but was around £110

it brings all the boost in in one go therefore bending the ods is alot easier, ive done 3 engines with my forge unos, is it still on my car?....hell yeah! lol

[T5frankie]

Why do u have to blank it off??

So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D

because the car already had a recirculating valve on the turbo, this needs to be taken off and replaced with a blanking plate to get the wastegate chatter

[Kingsford G]

Why do u have to blank it off??

So if i buy a blankin plate it will chatter? :-D

U remove the recirc valve and fit a blanking plate and it will chatter,if u want u can fit a DV .

[Palmer]

Ahh im with ya now lol. Where u get one from?

[Biff]

Yeah, it won't dump (with a dv) or chatter with the standard re-circ on fella.

[Kingsford G]

Ahh im with ya now lol. Where u get one from?
Ebay,and there was someone on here doing them very cheap.

Yeah, it won't dump (with a dv) or chatter with the standard re-circ on fella.

DV is ok and with a chutter I know merc85 had it for well over a year with no probs but I wonna do a DV to gather all the chavs around lol

[T5frankie]

Ahh im with ya now lol. Where u get one from?

[Biff]

My silicone hoses came with the DV outlet (although I asked without) so we plugged the hole with a dv that looks like a blue dildo! Sounds alright though for now, still arguing with sfs at minute.
Any idea who makes the plates? I've bought a forge job but my mate has an old c70 t5 he's on about making legal again.

it was 9 years ago lol

[Biff]

Well mine didn't make a sound with it. Lol

[p fandango]

Well mine didn't make a sound with it. Lol
i think the main thing helping was running excess of 20psi lol

[Biff]

Bloody hell I'm not suprised. 9 years ago you say? What power is that 20psi? I take it that was a chip & bleed valve, power boost valve etc. things have changed a lot since I was last modifying my car. I can't help it with this though, always wanted a t5.

i've never had her on a decent rolling road so no idea what she was kicking out. No i've got the standard ECU in now, she's just never been fussy & let me wind the boost up so high with a MBC

[T5frankie]

yeah, i was fastest volvo of the day iirc even though the track was slippy 14.5 was my best

[Biff]

Surprising really how well it picks up without spinning the death out of the Tyres. Think a decent bit of rubber is in order before I attempt the pod or such like. Impressed Frankie, I take it yours is the fastest?

It was slippy, the time before i could just nail it off the line, but that day i had to be a bit more gentle.
