A few mods that I've done so far.
My V40 2.0t, just a few mods that have been carried out recently. I'm not after a race car, just to be able to beat my friends Focus ST. Need to prove a point lol.
When I got the car http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...BODMK6Tt_3.jpg Alloys weren't my style so changed them for these http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0260.jpg After a while the laquer was all coming off and 3 tyres needed changing so thought, sod it, "wheel" (get it, funny aye) change the lot and got these http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n105/dobby1983/2.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n105/dobby1983/8.jpg So far on engine mods K&N 57i induction kit. Makes a great noise and instantly notice better running http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0327.jpg Dump valve just for the crack really http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0324.jpg Then Niles fitted the manual boost controller and the boot gauge for me. Nice guy with massive amount of knowledge. Really chuffed with how the boost guage came out. He got the car running like an animal, when the turbo kicks in, you know about it. Wastegate chatter is fun too :) My actuator has had it so it still needs sorting. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0325.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0328.jpg This is a video for it, I'm not Steven Spielberg so it's not great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL8Q15UeVzo I was bored one evening so decided to take the dashboard out and do this just to see how it would look http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0329.jpg Everyone knows about the body rolling on the V40's. Fitted this and it's brilliant! http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0326.jpg So from this to this http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...bby1983/22.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/IMAG0322.jpg Next are some lowering springs, exhaust but no too keen on the twin pipe Jetex so got to find something else. Also the new actuator from Forge. Would benefit from being mapped but after that, we'll see how things go. |
Lovely !
Are you up to T4 spec yet? with that all you need is a remap for more power than a volvo powered ST focus . |
Nice one mate, looks spot on. Wish my T4 was as healthy ATM lol grrrrr
|
what boost it runs now? In video, what i can see it is about 0.6. Originaly it runs 0,65 (i think so), so you did something with boost controler or not?
|
I wouldn`t go over .8 bar or 12psi with the 2.0T....this is about the safe boost for that model.

Just seen the vid mate. Sounds lovely. Niles has done a good job on the gauge too.

I got your text the other day but forgot to reply. I've installed Vadis on my machine so I'll give you a text tomorrow (sunday) and see if you're free. You need Windows 98 2000 or XP though. |
