t5 silly power

[cherry1809]

You do realise its not finished?

Yes, which is what I was saying if you re read my posts. Frankie stated the power he had for 7k, I merely said if that's what he ended up with I be more than annoyed. As he didn't end up with that, and there's more to come then great.

Mapping can be peanuts compared with getting an engine right though. Hard works done imo.

[T5RatherAmusin]

what t5 do you have welly?
the 2.4 t5 should be quite easy for the 400s....
might be worth talking to shark see what they can offer as a 'drive in n out' package...

Sorry, but i'm not allowed to reply as its a volvo specific question.

A full 3" system will help if your getting closer to the limits of what is achievable with that turbo, but it's not entirely necessary if 400bhp (ish) is your goal. But if you do sell, 1st dibs on your Miltek LOL!

I can't see that decatting would benefit you at all (assume you've got a ferrita?).

I appreciate your opinion on the ferrita and that. I am impatient more than frustrated to show well with the parts I've compiled. IMHO 400 is not easy to get without having a welsh mountain style map.

On the Hamish thing... I'm not bad mouthing, having a bash, or whatever. Not my intention at all to drag that up, I wasn't the first to mention him. But if you want my honest opinion (which you probably don't!), I don't think you will achieve what you want unless you go elsewhere.

I know you didn't - so I appreciate that.

I'm sure you'll get there Dave, which ever route you take.

has that cleared it up for the op? lol

[Wobbly Dave]

400 bhp is IMHO bandied around like it was easily achievable. Just because the box says it can make 500bhp out of the GTX doesn't necessarily make it so.

I find many conflicting opinions on where to get my 400 & that may not be where I end up.

Dave, if you need help or unbiased opinion on your setup dont be afraid to ask. Having done the high powered Volvo thing im now gaying it up in my mx5

[Wobbly Dave]

i wouldn't mind some help setting up the Blitz SBC

Steve - did you run your GT off TCV or actuator pressure?

You are on your own with that one, I had the HKS EVC6 set up to deliver 1.7bar as early as the turbo could manage it, as it was the easiest to setup, the ecu didnt have any control over boost.

[Wobbly Dave]

Where did you pick up your RPM & Speed signal from for that - or didn't you need one?

[Mongo]

Fit mk2 rs focus engine and go from there.

I'm using that controller. Flyingmoose helped me out a LOT setting it up. IIRC their website has a download of the instructions

[welly24]

sorry for the late reply ,I don't have one yet but think im going for a 2.3 the last one with throttle cable would be the easy option for tuning ,as the motor will have a complete rebuild with darton liners ,wiseco piston as these don't have expansion problems like some of the cheaper ones,a set of quality forged rods and a crank grind with clevit shells and balance should give a good strong bottom end

[graemewelch]

if your going to spend that kind of money id forget about a 2.3. get the 2.4 2005 model. it will life a lot easier for you

I'd agree, but make sure you get it shimmed if you're going to be running big boost.

[welly24]

no need to shim as the block is bored out and thick liner are fitted instead of the ali liner and thin sleeve making a full top deck with no gap for shims
