lol, do they make that much difference to the map then !?

Karl · 10th May 2009, 20:47

Im guessing Ryans was mapped without socks and yours with,
so Im guessing that'll make quite a difference in the map.

Ryan^p · 10th May 2009, 22:53

Mine was mapped without the socks, they were fitted to it when ian built it and dave walker threw them in the bin before mapping saying they were not needed. I fitted a second pair before ian told me this, ran the car for about 30seconds before taking them off and throwing them somewhere again lol

Mathias · 11th May 2009, 15:18

Looking really nice mate!!

What fuel pressure reg is that red one fitted? And can it be usaed with a vtr too, as i need one?

Toad · 11th May 2009, 17:34

Not being nasty or anything, just an honest view.

That didn't look / sound quit at all. lol

do you mean quick?

Toad · 11th May 2009, 20:33

Interesting typeo there! Yeah, exactly what I meant.

Not meaning to be nasty or nothing!

Ryan^p · 11th May 2009, 20:36

doesnt sound like he went all the way through the rev range mind, not that you can tell alot about the velocity of the car in the vid

plus is on a shit gearbox iirc

dannygti · 11th May 2009, 20:37

i dont think he was anywhere near full throttle or max revs toadus..

raunchz · 11th May 2009, 22:42

No offence taken, remember it's got a full interior, sub in the boot and a slightly overweight driver

I didn't give itvreal stick in the video, and didn't show the dials and the road in the video for obvious reasons ........ cos they are a boring view

Having put the Tbs on, the gearbox is just too long, it takes ages in 3rd to get upto high revs - the S2 should be a lot better, plus have to sort the rev limit out on it and then can get a few dyno runs to see what it's putting out/shape of the curve.

It's a weber external one which takes the standard Citroen fpr's. Colin satchell also makes them too

Lol, looks like the sausage filter is there for the long haul then!!! I use the car everyday so need a filter

Ah, fair play mate.

Is it a case of too much of this:

equalling this:

?

RallyeMP · 25th May 2009, 22:59

Just been reading your thread and one word to say is 'amazing'.
Do love the sound of them TB's do sound nuts to be fair.
You had it on the rollers yet?

johnlambert · 8th June 2009, 12:26

sounds good to me.
get a vid up with the s2 gear box
ps how much is that costing you??

raunchz · 13th June 2009, 18:47

Sorry havn't answered the above, been stupidly busy with work and not really had much time to work on the car! Will have an update in a week or so. Have got the Group n's on, ordered some discs for my hi spec's, and hopefully have the superleggera's on too!!!

It costs enough! Bought all the expensive things in group buys (so around 20%-30%) off and then other bits I'e bought brand new from people on here cheaper. The car does owe me a lot of £££ but then it has given me a large amount of enjoyment so is worth it!

I'm planning on getting the S2 box on next week as put it on once but didn't have a vt* driveshaft so my 1.4 shaft wouldn't go in anough and leaked gearbox fluid out.

No, not had it on the rollers. I'm saving up at the moment so that I can get the ignition map sorted on the rollers with the timing tweaked to get the best out of it!

Have done around 3k on them so far and love them a lot!!

Indeed, I think I'm going to go down the stripping route to get rid of some weight to try and improve things. Once I've had it on the rollers and the ignition map sorted I'll up the rev limit. Also need to get the engine loom out to tidy it up as it's a mess at the moment!!
