    Cool dream3R's R Project

    Hi guys,

    I don't think I've posted my project here yet, so bear with me.

    My car is a MY2005 S60R, flash green, facelift with 46k on the clock.

    Main mods:


    Ferrita cat back
    3" DP with 200 CEL Magnaflow race cat
    750cc injectors
    Shimmed block
    45mm KL-Racing Intercooler
    IPD Race Spec ARB's
    AEM Progressive WI
    Boost gauge on the DIM
    Custom map by me (estimated 350+ BHP)

    Plans:

    Cavalli CTB30VR Turbo
    Audi RS4 MAF
    3 BAR map sensor (and software change to support 5 bar)
    Map update, aim 420-450 BHP
    DIM data monitoring (oil temp, iat, lambda, etc augmenting the existing DIM boost display)
    DEM software update/testing/development.

    The biggy is getting this new turbo fitted and dialled in once it gets here from the states, I can't wait!

    I'll get some pics up once I get a chance to give her a wash

    Good spec list...photos would be nice too

    Have you considered water injection or even ethanol mix?

    edit

    Oh sorry just noticed the progressive WI....about the ethanol, I was talking to TME about a 70/30 mix of V-power & E85 fuel

    I've added my AEM setup, duh, forgot!

    I use Tesco 99 which seems to have the best knock protection and has a 5% mix. If I could get E85 at the pump I'd definitely use it.

    Morrisons used to sell E85 but it was binned through lack of interest.....I had a conversation with Thomas from TME and a guy working at Volvo Marine (Penta), sounds like you can go up 80% petrol/20 ethanol with standard injectors...after than you need bigger injectors for any benefit (which looks like you have) & a map to advance the timing, which you know all about I'm sure

    OK so the new turbo is on it-s way, here are some pics for you



    Sock comparison



    I need an external CBV/BOV setup, any nice ideas guys?

    Ideally I would like a stealth setup. I've got a Forge FMCL007P sitting here which was part of my 20G kit. I think I'll need one with a weldable flange though.

    Have a look at some of the audi's e.g early s4 s6 5 cylinders as they use k24 as upgrades with external waste gates etc, just an idea to help.

    I'll take a look. I guess it means getting a connection from the throttle pipe to the intake, but the throttle pipe is plastic and I can't find anything that will 100% work from a quick look.

    There's this one but I fear fitment issues with the airbox

    http://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/volvo...e-2003-07.html

    Do88 reckon it should fit with a 90 degree pipe to fit the BOV on, I'm not sure that is optimal.

    He seems too busy. I don't think he does this stuff anymore either.


    I think it will have to be the do88 intercooler pipe and get it welded, along with the turbo-maf pipe I have lying here, that's Graeme's but it needs a CBV boss welded on. I can't think of another way.

    It's only a plastic pipe. ..either drill appropriate size hole in it and plastic weld in a tee or cut and add a silicone tee....
    Fwiw do88 do full diverter kit

    I used a TIAL QR and recirculated the BOV gases back towards the intake (post MAF).

    Turbosmart also do a recirc value. TIAL is a good quality product & I chose it because it was a bit cheaper than the turbosmart.

    I will eventually get a top pipe and put the weld flange (which comes in the kit) on it. They also come in a range of colours inc. black.

    I've bagged a turbosmart one.

    I really want to keep the OTE pipe stock...

    So it's either weld a 25mm nipple to the OTE pipe, or buy a metal IC->Throttle pipe and weld that.

    Would either spot be any better than the other? I'm thinking of just doing the OTE pipe now.
