So last weekend I was out at QR again to test out a few things in the polo and monitor a few things. A few days before hand I went and saw Carlos and he gave me a hand to setup the link ECU for boost by gear as it’s going back on the dyno (hopefully this week) to set up the boost map for each gear so we can turn 1st and 2nd down but turn 3rd and 4th up and have the boost come on earlier. We will also be adding in a 4 Bar fuel reg to get another 100-150cc out of the injectors so it will be interesting to see what additional power can be added.
On top of the boost by gear I’m making some physical changes, such as traction bars which I made yesterday and today. They will come back out tomorrow for some paint as they are steel. Only done a handful of pulls before heading home but the improvement is significant and very noticeable in the way the car acts under hard acceleration. I’ll also be looking to stiffen the rear spring rate, most likely in the form of rubber spring helpers/spacers that some drag racers use as you can just put them in on the day of the track day then remove them afterwards so you aren’t compromising on a stiff ride around town.
Here’s the link to the last weekends session at QR. The V10 Audi R8 and Lambo owners was quite surprised to see they were shaking off the little ol’ polo
