Adie Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm dropping my car off at TDI tomorrow to have uprated 500cc injectors fitted and the camcon unit fitted to my IS200. I'm undecided what to run the boost at though as no one really knows what is safe for the standard 1F-GE engine. I'm thinking to leave it a .7 bar to be on the safe side, but i might be able to run it at .8 safely also. Its just whether to take the gamble or not. Any ideas?

He doesnt know either as no one has yet pushed the engine to see what it is capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Singh Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I bet you can't wait Don't know IS200 limit, but i'd not go too close to the limit unless u have a boost controller u can step down when your driving normally (who does that? haha) Look fwd to the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a boost controller fitted, so it'll probably be mapped to run low boost when pottering around town Have you asked Mark him self mate ? he is rather clued up.

Pip Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I asked for a dyno sheet from mark in regards to the claims made on Fevers s/c'd IS200. I cant warrant spending that much cash on a load of made up figures if nothing is concrete. Its claimed it has taken his upto 200 rwhp which aint a lot at all behind the turbo IS's. Can i ask AD77 how much you are paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats with the fuel leaning right off at 5000 rpm. It peaks at .6 but leans of to .5. So with the fuelling sorted i'll have .7 right through the rev range. Also with the camcon fitted it should provide a couple more gee gees also / maybe. As for cost its not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Well with the bigger injectors/camcom and HKS F-CON it seems the s/c will be producing the same bhp according to Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The s/c wont be the same bhp as the turbo because the turbo is alot more tunable. I'll let you know next week how many horses my car is running with the turbo and correct fuelling / camcon etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap Devil Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I never suggested anything of the sort. But I am familiar with a number of "motorsport" tuners where this problem does happen. The reason I mentioned Noble is that they appear to have a good record in returning customer's car to them with an intact engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIPLC Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well mine is 200 rwhp at the mo. Just as a point of interest, our Rototest seems to read about 5% lower than a Dynapack Dyno when measuring the same car. Rototest maintain that their figures are accurate because it uses a proper strain guage to measure the torque, whereas Dynapack "calculate" the torque by measuring the flow of fluid through an orifice. To summarise, Rototest measures the torque, whereas Dynapack calculates the torque. I never suggested anything of the sort. But I am familiar with a number of "motorsport" tuners where this problem does happen. The reason I mentioned Noble is that they appear to have a good record in returning customer's car to them with an intact engine. Thanks Mike.
