Boost power....

[JP]

Has anyone been experiencing higher boost then set due to the cold weather, particulary early morning or night time?....Mine's gone mental!

[marky mark]

define mental IE what is it doing?

[dynamix]

I haven't but my boost control is very tightly controlled. It may be that your duty cycles need adjusting as the turbo will find it easier to reach boost target.

When ours was 400bhp last year is would go mental in cold weather hitting over 1.8 bar on the defi's, so I presume it being normal if mapped in a nice warm dyno cell...... wait for the response of the road only mappers

re- read............. digest.....goes over 1.8

[dynamix]

DEFINITELY speak to your mapper !!

re the road mapping versus dyno mapping - if the boost is controlled properly it should not make a difference. Mine hits 2.1 bar on the dyno and the road (dont try that at home though guys )

[WR1 Bro]

JP, maybe you could describe "mental"?

[dynamix]

Defi's will only read up to 2 bar.

Yes, you need to speak to Pat. And in the meantime don't go silly. 1.8 Bar+ in anything other than a very quick spike could well cause your pistons to fall to bits.

It sould not make a difference, but it often does. If your car spools and responds on the dyno EXACTLY as it does on the road then you are one of a kind...

[dynamix]

I didnt say it spools the same but it does hit the same figures Mark.

[SPIKE LIKE MIKE]

JP...see if you can get it to go to 4.0bar!!

[JP]

JP, maybe you could describe "mental"?

Well, like this evening when coming back from work, the cold air makes it go to 1.9 bar .- all hell breaks loose....it just keeps pulling through all the gears like anything. In less cold temps it stays at 1.8.

Mark - Pat set it to 1.7 following the Map Sensor installation. He did say the defis tend to over-read, and this was confirmed on another thread on here. Pat is confident with his mapping, and so far it's been good in terms of power.

When I was visiting RCM, Matt (Olly's Bro) did say it should be fine so as long as I do not keep doing 150mph all the time when all is at peak under the bonnet. Chances of me doing this are very very slim if none!

[WR1 Bro]

If it is mapped to that then why describe it as "Mines gone mental"?

Was it mapped on the rollers? Would one not expect a little extra on the road due to the "actual" load compared to the "simulated" load?

If it is mapped to 1.7 and shows 1.8-19 on the road then one seems to think this is what you would approximately expect on the defi gauges?

Are you being over dramatic Mr JP?

[dynamix]

What set up is this on JP ?

ie what turbo, bottom end, mods etc

all a big hoo har about nothing wow, 1.9 bar, get over it!

[marky mark]

Pretty sure it's on one of Scoobyclinic's Garret hybrids and o.e bottom end.

JP, IMHO your car at 1.7 bar (real reading) with peaks at 1.8 in the cold is pushing things to say the least, particularly as you do a bit of 1/4 mile stuff.

I may be wrong, but i suspect it's a SC decision to appease you as you were being a whingeing fooker and probably getting right on Kevs t1ts?

bro's car is doing 400BHP and 380 ft/lb (or something like that) @ 1.5 bar with a similiar sized Garret hybrid.

On a std bottom end !!!!

Good luck finding all the pieces when it goes bang.

[WR1 Bro]

Mark are you saying "moan moan moan".... crank up the boost to shut him up?

The difference between JPs and my car is that JP researched it until he understood everything. He would have been a tough cookie to pull the wool over hi eyes. I was planning on sending my spec to JP incase he could offer some knowledge. Maybe you two could discuss on my behalf?

Can I pass on your mobile number to JP please? After all, amidst the banter, the idea of the forum is to share and learn from each other.

I did notice the tube was a bit faster this morning...

No, He knows far more than me. Admittedly i could further my own knowledge by speaking to him but i fear it may be at a high price. i.e mental torture and eventual suicide from being stalked.

You are like a broken record. When are you going to move onto your next victim? This is tantamount to bullying. Something you have previous form for Marky Mark and it will not be tolerated on the WR1oc

It is SC's Garret hybrid. I put this thread as I wanted to find out whether anyone else was experiencing anything similar.

Do i sense some bitterness here? Are members not allowed to ask questions Dan or should we need your permission?

Have you asked your mapper ?

That would be my very first point of call before posting on open forums.

Bitterness. Yep, I'm really jealous that you have such high boost and are getting more work done

TWAT

p.s stop texting me

and left a few voicemails....





















and a few emails




















and PMd him on a few forums!
