Well finaly i have got the old girl remapped!
took her to vince at stealth racing on the 13th of may saturday just gone. what a difference!!!she flies like the wind proper loving it!!!
-
How much did that cost then? Did you do a power run after it was fitted?
-
it was almost £300 including vat didnt do a power run as it has ghot to go back to have the veria set up he gave me an average and that was 145bhp ish but vince said there is more to come from it yet and hopefully i will see that soon once the vernia is set up! :grin:
-
Sweet,bet youre happy Jamie :smiley:
-
nice one!
what has been done then under the bonnet?
-
not again there comes a time when you get sick of telling peeps!but as its you???lol :grin:
its a mk3 2ltr 8v bottom end with with a 16v clutch and fly on a 8v mk3 box with a 16v rod change.
on top i have the norm,a 1.8 8v head thats been ported,skimmed, polished and gas flowed with a shrik cam not sure what it ???? me and vince were going through the list and it could be a 276????think thats what it is???? not 100% sure.
it has since been fitted with a raceland four branch stainless fanny mould and all this is held up on a solid front engine mount supplied by bahn brenner at a lovely price or £65 including post!!!
now it has been remapped aswell vince at stealth said it has still got some left int it and its running low to mid 140 bhp.its still got to go back and have the vernia set up as vince didnt have a degree chart cos its not marked on mine.
when vince said it had some more in it left to go i said i didnt wanna throttle its neck but i have since changed my mind might aswell have all it has to give eh??dont mean i gotta use it!?lol :grin: im loving it now cos it flies!!
-
i do apologise but i am honoured that you were prepared to tell me :laugh:
yea squeeze all the ponies you can out of it. I bet is well torquey with that 2.0 bottom end!
-
as torquey as a torquey thing on a torquey day!!!lol :grin: :grin:
-
You will get a lot more from that engine, Also in future get 35mm exh valves fitted make huge difference. Mine's 1.8 ported bvh 40.5mm inlet/35mm exh valves, 276 schrick 4branch with supersprint running at mo 142bhp/147 torque. Not bad for 1.8cc.
-
That really is not bad for 1.8cc! :grin:
-
thats awsome for a 1.8!ive run out of money upto now but who knows what else will happen to her??? :grin:
-
I'd love 2lt block in my car, But selling it soon so no more money will be spent on it. :sad:
-
dont sell it then dude! :grin:
