Due to personal circumstances this car will be up for sale soon :(

Going to be very sad to see it go!!

Used DS2500 and 3000 on track and never had a problem with either!

Used to run DS2500 on my Clio 200 and they only started to fade after 15/20minutes of the snetterton 100 which if anyone has...

Can anyone recommend somewhere down south east way to build up an engine?

The Volvo has started to knock so I want forged rods fitted asap and just wondering if anyone has any experience of...

As it's slower now than when I got it? And what's the point in having a bigger turbo if you can't use it? I'm running about 1 bar I would think.
This is why it needs mapping so it can be done...

Don't put ideas in my head!

Yeah I wouldn't play with the actuator on a map set for the right turbo however as above the turbo is bigger than the map was designed for it needed tweaking.

Shame as I'd love to see this make...

Not have this car! Lol and be stuck with a 4k fuel cut. Haha

Wound it down 2 1/2 turns and it pulls through the revs now

Ok I'll give it a shot today :)

Yeah it's just above half way on the positive side but just feels so gutless :(

And it still makes mental boost!! How did it ever work when it wasn't wound down?
It's on the standard ecu so in theory could it be turned up as it's painfully slow now.

Standard ecu pulls her through the rev range no problem at all.

So I'm stuck how to resolve the issue :(

Good shout I will do :)

Morning,

Wondering if anyone could help?

I have a problem with the 850R where she gets to 4k and it hits like a limiter and I can go no further. Tbh I back off as soon as it bangs on it once. ...

I know boost figures for 3 of my friends... 1 is 20psi, 1 is 22.3psi and the other is 16/17psi all the original turbo to the vehicle. I'd consider 30psi to be high.

I think 20 is just above...

I read about and the boost these cars make was not high enough to be negatively effected without a dump valve?

No the idle control hose popped over so she died when I came to a stand still. At midnight and 1% battery on my phone lol luckily I spotted it quite quick.

I have a 302mm setup coming and strut...

No it never did till I fitted a forge blanking plate and have no dump valve as it has been boosting harder now.

I'll keep an eye out for a second hand ecu then and wind the boost back to where it...

It's on my list for the weekend ;)

I love this car btw. Smile is always on my face!! Apart from when it popped off a boost hose haha.

To be honest I haven't checked anything. I'm not bothered by a/c my last car had auto climate control and I always used to turn the a/c off as I dislike it so I may as well remove it on this car.
...

Well what is the 18T good for then lol. As can't run it on a standard engine with decent boost as it'll bend the rods.. I enjoy the car how she is now as she certainly shifts but I'm majorly...

Evening again,

Seems it appears a common problem a/c doesn't work in these cars how hard would it be to just rip the a/c out and replace it with a pulley ? And also lose the a/c rad at the front? ...

Haha I'd love to just go for it believe me.

I'll look into it ;) where did your rods come from?? I just don't see the point in wasting this turbo by having it turned down :(

Hello,

Seems I have a wound down 18T it's seems a bit wasted... so what sort of cost is getting the rods changed over to forged rods? Does anything else need replacing whilst I'm there? Apart from...

cheers everyone :)

I am making sure she is taken care of don't worry and I'll be sure to pop up to a meet.

I wish i had the 19's they look so good!! If you want to sell them let me know lol....
