Hi Sam, thanks for the comments and sorry for the late reply - work been a bit hectic!makkan00 said:Subscribed. liked your methodical approach to rule out things one by one....
Do you mind me asking where did you get the sport suspension from? Prices seems to be in north of £600?
Thanks and will give them a shout.Michael said:Hi Sam, thanks for the comments and sorry for the late reply - work been a bit hectic!
I got my suspension from Holdcroft Honda, the site's affiliated Dealer - not sure if they can still get them though - they were very pessimistic about mine turning up, but worth a try!
Thanks Faddy!F6HAD said:Sorry to hear your wife is ill Michael, wishing her good health.
Just realised I forgot to put my last Dyno plot on here - I'll get it put up in a bit, but basically, compared to a normal S1/S2 map there's a bit more lag initially, then it takes off, with much more under the graph in the latter half of the rev range.Goodluckmonkey said:So what does the torque curve look like on these hybrid-turbo'd CDTI's?
Do they just have more over-rev, or do they pull harder everywhere?
Would love to see some numbers and a dyno print out, because in this thread I can only see max boost pressures listed, which doesn't mean anything in the real world.
My tractor with standard turbo makes 1.5bar peak, but it's irrelevant as it just can't hang on to it till the redline.
Absolutely fine! When I had the Twin Plate in and working it was fine, if a bit heavy for others to use, but I quickly got used to it (until it really started making changes difficult). In terms of driving it was great - loads of power, but delivered in quite a linear manner and high enough in the rev range that you didn't inadvertently 'go'.Goodluckmonkey said:Cool. Sounds interesting.
As with these things it's always a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul, do you find its still a good daily and can be driven economically?
True - problem is, as ever, finding someone down here who knows what they're doing with aftermarket stuff! Plus when I took the clutch off I didn't feel inclined to investigate it further. It was kind of a 'sod it - had enough' moment!Trevor79 said:Sounds as if the clutch wasn't fully disengaging. The pedal has adjustment on it, you could have tried that.
I have had no problems with fueling. Issues have been on over boosting.
True, what I really want to do is speak with whoever the bloke was who had the Civic used for the Stage 3 map shown on Celtic's website! That seemed to be a good output (even allowing for a slightly 'optimistic' Dyno').F6HAD said:I am still yet to see a properly working setup on this engine.
Just stuck the 'best' S3 map on (call it nostalgia!) - it certainly does! Big difference to the S2. 325 Clutch seems to be coping with it too (although I will keep it toned down.).Goodluckmonkey said:Must feel really strong when it comes in, given the rate of change on that curve.
As you say, could be a lean condition generating that spike, or a delay with the vnt causing overboost till it catches back up with itself.
See the first Postbrodziu said:I'm just too lazy to read whole tread, but are you still on standard IC, I'm sure that FMIC will help with going over 200bhp
My understanding is that if you go too big relative to the engine you can actually reduce the efficiency of the IC relative to what the turbo actually can make use of.brodziu said:when I had mine mapped I've been told that even bigger FMIC than I have now will help more. Mapper has managed to get 212bhp but there was smoke after 4k rpm so it stayed at 204bhp. Bigger FMIC would require more cuts in the bumper which I wanted to avoid.
