Limits of the ED30 tuning

[Peskarik]

what about injectors being changed 

JBS added larger injectors to mine when they added the HPFP, but it was agreed that they would remove them if they didn't see a worthwhile increase in performance.......They took them off!

i always thought it was strange as i had a cupra r (225bhp) they are a K04 turbo, stage 2 apr mapped and the gain was about 50bhp over stock so the 2.0t is getting 100bhp it does seem a bit mad but i am happy with it

so the stock injectors are good for the fuel so it needs the pump to give it more grunt, what about a port and polish of the head ?

until the black swan appears, that is, until the engine packs up..

Really,
I have NOTHING but a 305/410Nm map, no uprated IC, no wider exhaust... and I like to step on it, too (last speeding ticket - 90 GBP, thank God not the licence!). But sometimes I wonder how long my engine will stay healthy, and not pack up one way or the other (turbo gone, dp gone, oil leaks, or something like that). We know that E30 engine is not S3 engine, for one thing...

i know the guy that owns my old car and its still going strong with only one prob and it was a fooked coilpack

Time will tell with the modded ed30 engines. I can see them lasting a long time if looked after. As long as good oil is used, car is warmed up properly, turbo cooled down properly etc then there should be no problems. Adding a bigger downpipe and intercooler will probably help the engine life as the intercooler will keep the inlet temps down and the hot gases from the exhaust will escape quicker with the bigger downpipe.

Yup, went through that one too. The stock heads are already very well designed and the cost of having a port and polish wouldn't be worth the investment.

Thought about high lift cams though, schrick do 2.0TFSi ones, but I haven't got around to asking if they are the same as the ED30 ones

[MAT ed30]

i dont think they would be worth the outlay if you ask me, time to put them in and then having it mapped to suit. i  would get the diff done as it will put the power down better so would be best thing to do.

[luca]

Definately a diff would be more worthwhile than a cam. Although schrick make very good cams .
