Ok well i'm fairly pissed off, filled the car up with E85 and for some reason my ethanol compensation maps weren't working like before, no matter what value i put it would read way lean. So i decided for now i'll tune it off the primary fuel and timing maps. AFR is at 12.0-12.3 Timing is at 25* up top Had issues with two eboost2 units(suspect wiring in the car) so i was stuck on 6.8PSI the whole night. All i'll say is from a standing start first and second gear was like being on ice.
I was sick of it before i started haha. Either way my mbc is here and I'll see if i have time to up the boost tonight.
Ran 20psi last night, car is an animal considering its still on factory dumps. Only problem is my hardpipes on the passenger tb doesnt like staying on. Need to find a way to secure the pipework better.
Ok well dodgy fix on pipes has been done but it looks like i need new couplers on that side. 3RD gear the car really starts moving and even from low RPM in that gear it feels great. For anyone wondering if going to E85 is worth it on factory turbos i can tell you YES IT IS! Worth every penny and i'm honestly probably never going to run 98RON again. The zed is faster now on 12PSI than it was on 17 on 98ron. Going to try cram 22-23PSI down its throat tomorrow night if i can keep the piping together. Really keen to see how it runs on sunday, if i can get a clean run that is.
I'd be happy with a low 12 considering its a 5spd, an 11 is the ultimate goal though. Got a couple PSI more into her tonight and she goes like a rocket for factory turbos, we'll see how we go
My first attempt today actually, snapped them both like twigs. I'll get the video up soon. Will be throwing my TT subframe in now.
What size wheels / tyres are you running? Are they 15"? Sucks about the breakages, the 5 bolt shafts are a known weakness but I don't think I've heard of anyone breaking both in one go though. Good effort
I may have missed it, but have you got a power figure yet on E85 with the mostly factory setup (factory manual turbos, dumps, intake,etc)? This is extremely relevant to my interests
Guys will the factory 2+0 TT tailshaft work with the NA gearbox? Or will it need to be a modified at the gearbox end.
