This is just pressing the throttle along the motorway. Max pressure there is 20psi, which it hits at 33 secs, otherwise it holds steady at 18psi.

[stufagti]

boost baby !

you can def see where the VNT kicks in etc
thatll change with the remap

 

[edk]

Aye it's good to get this vid now before the hybrid and remap. Will serve as a good comparison .

 

[VVLwezz]

ed ive just been thinking, have you never considered a unichip? it can do the same functions on a diesel as it can on a petrol (apart from ignition timing :lol: ) it can get rid of boost limits and adjust fuelling which is what you need really

 

[quickdraw]

or even try looking into a mega squirt aswell

they good

 

[edk]

Yeah Unichip has been on the cards for ages mate . I have a feew reservations about using a piggyback system relating to this car speciifically. Haven't looked into Megasquirt before although I have heard of it, cheers. Will dig around.

Pics from the recent Essex meet. Plans to date are Rota caps (the medium high ones), Climair wind deflectors, colour-coded handles, and I might lower it another 5mm up front and 10mm at the rear. Still have rear bumper damage to smooth over and paint, and the front bumper needs attempt #2 to make it stonger (will wait for warmer weather). Passenger wing to swap over too. Would really like rear spats too, whether that means making them myself or settling for the ones from South Africa.

lookin tidy as ever that!

 

[shaggy_master]

Oh. Baby.
I've came to realise, I'd actually proudly own this you know.
I think the styling is sorta along the lines I'd go with it too (clean, low, subtle touches, but no gash kits!) which you've proved works well on the N16 as well as the N15.
It just looks stunning Ed, hats off to you yet again, I don't think this car gets enough lovin'.

[edk]

Thanks mate. heh yeah I remember Phil thinking the same about the coilover and wanting them there and then! :lol:

Absolutely mate, I'm trying to put money aside for that now, and those future plans I said above won't happen until after the performance bits are done .
