roll on hahaha no worries the 911 is all pumped and waiting :-) the golf is minus motor and box right now for the 8V revision 2 project but will be back shortly if you wanna go golf to golf (only 170hp 1.8 8V)
great news Wade. Will have to come and check it out soon :)
Yeah luke, I'll take the 911 challenge my man!
Just looking at the plot printout and it actually makes 250hp at wheels at 4700rpm and torque peaks at 255 lbft at 5600 and holds all the way to cut out at 7000rpm!
I'm a little confused here Wade, 250hp at the wheels is a pretty good number. How much are the thinking at the crank?
I thought the S3 motor was only good for an absolute max of 220kW at the crank unless you installed a bigger turbo.
i'm assuming you are losing less through the transmission because its FWD?
Yep 220kw is 295hp. I think i'd be running around 280bhp at the flywheel as it seems the mk2 driveline robs around 30hp from the engine.
You are right, the tuner ran out of injector capacity so couldn't go any further and he had to adjust the timing back a bit to be safe..
I'm still pretty vague with the tuning side of things, but yeah a bigger set of injectors would take it up a notch, and obviously a huge hairdryer would do wonders.
When the engagement party is over this weekend i'll put the pics together. I started rolling the front guards up on Monday and i'm ready to put on the early small bumper arches and sill blacking tape.
I got new tyres yesterday too. TOYO Proxes4. Havent really pushed them yet...
I know APR offer a big turbo kit which takes it up to 300FWKW - next on the shopping list eh!!!
Get yourself a second hand GT28rs for bugger all and slap that sucker on.Quote:

Spsose its time for an update.
Not much going on really, just enjoying the car :)
Here's a pic of the VVt harness wired back up for the haltech. I wrapped it in some heatshield as it was melting!

As you can see, its really close and there's only so much i can file off the master cylinder... When the engine rocks back it just slightly rubs which isnt too bad, but when i turn hard left and the engine wobbles over the bumps the timing sprocket kisses the master cyl pretty hard and its obviously grinding away!!!!!!
I have a full set of rear Vibra-Technics mounts ready to go in next week to stop the movement and once i file a bit more off the mast cylinder I hope it should be enough.
More pics soon.
Apart from that I've been removing big bumper arches and sill covers, and just doing a few little freshen ups on interior trim bits and clips etc.
Cheers
