I ran it with vpower + methanol and NF and I can understand the fuss.

Will be moving this project on in a couple of weeks now that I have better boost control high up

I am expecting great results.

The software is open source so free

It cant be done to ecuteked cars as they lock the ecu.

Bit of info for you...you can download ecu-unlocker - free software again.

It will allow you to read ALL parts of the ecu and will automatically unlock the ecu and all so called "protected" info done by tuners.

I have done this every time the car has been mapped to look at what has been done. :wink:

bttt for JD to whet his appetite

When I get the new engine and turbo in I will do some comparisons on that set up too to see if it makes as much of a difference with a bigger turbo

just had mine mapped on methanol yesterday, not been to collect yet, but the results are good.

originally runnning 416bhp & 350 lb/ft on V Power
no running 446bhp & 370 lb/ft on 10% meth with a splash of NF (same boost level of 1.5bar)

on the road gained 60bhp at 4000rpm and hits 1.5bar at 3250rpm!!!

Cant wait to get her back now.

Disadvantages:
- corrosive
- can attract water
- conducts electricity
- highly poisonous

Have either of you addressed the issues above?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 11:29 am**

- corrosive - not with only 10% concentration, will not effect oe hoses
- can attract water - keep in sealed containers
- conducts electricity - so does petrol
- highly poisonous - follow COSSH regulations

How are you going to address your low torque figures?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 12:46 pm**

drop in a 2.5 bottom end when funds permit.

I have a 2.5 sti crank for sale, forged as standard if you are interested?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 12:52 pm**

Thanks for the offer.

But I will be going for a Cosworth built bottom end. Then get my heads flowed & ported.

already removed front & rear seats and fitted buckets & harnesses, bought 2nd set of wheels shod with 888's for drag meets. Cage by end of year.

Cant go any further on extg motor though, so that will have to wait for the time being.

like I said - you can really tell the difference

- great results

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:01 pm**

havent had the chance to drive her yet, but Martyns description was "very very fast"

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:02 pm**

Why Cosworth JD?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:03 pm**

why not? comes ready built to a very high standard.

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:09 pm**

The only reason why not is the parts and builders in this country can build you a stronger motor for lest cost, dependant on your aims of course.

Nothing wrong with Cosworth, other than the expense. If you are considering buying their CNC machined / ported / flowed heads as well then the price is simply.. :shock:

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:12 pm**

was not going down the road of the cosworth heads, would get mine re-worked for alot less money.

Give me a run down on a cost from other engine builders then for a built short engine.

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:25 pm**

It depends what you are after, how much do you want it to support? 2.0L, 2.2L? 2.33L? 2.5L?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:27 pm**

well seeing as the cosworth is a 2.5 and my turbo is designed for optimum results on a 2.5................i guess its a 2.5

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:02 am**

JD is well aware that WE could build him a forged engine for less than the Cosworth unit , the decision to go with the Cosworth one is based on their years of experience building high quality competition engines....

The Cosworth heads are nothing short of a work of art and are doing great things on our GT35R'd car which will be in Jap Performance mag next month.....
