exosteve · 15-03-2014, 10:39

just trying pull meself together after a bottle of red last night

takes longer these days.
then its time to fit a full exhaust take me front arb off ready for drilling bigger holes and fitting the new upgraded drop links.but before that im having a few bits powder coated.
ive got to do a few other bits and bobs like changing the wishbone washers on the bushes as they snapped and a few bits to me boot.
then tomorrow me mate elty is comin over and we are goin do the front torsion lift.

ive got me +3" rear springs and just need me shocks to complete a full 5" lift

forecast good but cloudier. got me charcoal and burgers ready big fat gourmet jobbies

got me exhaust on but its standard at the mo with just one box less in the middle section. still want to put a different end bit on yet but at least its not killing me with fumes now.

tried fixing me wishbone washer to find out they aren't washers but actually welded to the chassis that have worn away

I got me drop link bushes made and ready to fit

and I tweeked the turbo up a notch or two

and yes its a noticeable difference

even had time to give the old girl a wash

I will run through that ford a couple of times on the way up to yours to give mine a wash

you obviously don't know my kind of luck, both ways would turn out to be the wrong way

first I fitted a boost gauge. it was peaking at 10.5 bar.

then the little push rod thingy on top of the turbo with the little lockin nut was tipexed to show original position.undo locknut and wind the threaded bar clockwise two full turns.

that gave the turbo more boost, it gave me and extra 2.5 bar.

I don't know if it will kill my turbo

as fook me it whistles now and I have deffo got more power.

but not enough.
what else can I do?

I thought about the intercooler being more efficient.
a fan,a mist jet.even a bigger one.
and im even thinking of scrapping the front aircon rad and fitting an intercooler there.

will that give me more power?

no not here.
the bit that's got big fat rubber bushes on that is welded to the chassis.
once you remove the bar and bushes it leaves the fixing point with a cup type washer welded either side of the fixing.
this has been very worn.
probably in the 12 months of my ownership. I need to beef it up

by bar you mean psi?

1 bar = about 14 psi

More fuel mate. As you ram more air in you'll eventually lean out and it won't go any faster. You find that at the mo you'll have lost top speed but gained on acceleration through the gears but still max out early.
You'll need a MAF amp or better stilla remap of the ECU. there's not a lot of options on the ecu controlled pump so you could look at modified injectors ?
I've said before though, the simple way to ooodles of more power is LPG injection
