The mongrel is back and ooooo she's racey!

devonutopia · 12-03-2007, 22:14

Now have the mongrel back in my possession. Running surprisingly well for a car which is still on an old map but now has a brand new big turbo and a performance cam inside it.

Power is probably up by about 10bhp - estimate of about 230bhp now. Delivery is much different to the VT2 - When it comes on boost it takes off like a rocket, with a much sharper high pitched shrill whistle from the turbo. It still smokes on full chat - like a TRAIN, but this is expected with it having an old map, and also having had a forced ECU reset again. Not running it with gas either - that needs sorting out first.

All in all, very chuffed! Also very glad I'm not having to limp it around until I get back to Jabba - it does run surprisingly well on their old map.

Sounds Good Jason. What do you reckon the Max BHP could be? and how many horses are you aiming for.........300.....

Nope, sticking with standard airbox and pd160 intake now. Been told basically the induction kit is not necessary.

Basil · 13-03-2007, 07:52

great stuff Jase! You be de man!
Nothing sounds sweeter than a turbo - the louder the nicer!

Apparently the VT5 turbo is a non-hybrid VNT 20 (both the turbine and compressor are VNT20) as opposed to the hybrid VNT20 (the turbine is a VNT17 but the compressor is a VNT20 one). Needs a bespoke manifold to mount, as the VNT20 hybrid has the cast-in manifold already there.

BTW - Do you notice more lag now mate?

Cheers
Bas

Interesting. Where did you find that out? Do you know which vnt20 its based on? 2052 ot 2056?

Babs · 13-03-2007, 09:13

wow!

with night-on 300bhp, what's the economy gonna be like?

Josh_PoloGTi · 13-03-2007, 10:24

Tell me more about the cam please

mluton · 13-03-2007, 10:34

Great One, I'm gobsmacked at an estimated 230BHP

Keep up the good work!.

You'd have to contact someone called Miguel in Portugal to find out exactly......

The bespoke manifold and the Variable Turbine configuration are the giveaway....

I ain't saying another word.....

Have you got injectors modded yet to get the most out of this. You could always get the pressure up on the PD pump, i hear they can run upto 6700psi

mr. hedgehog · 13-03-2007, 15:18

watching for those figures with intrest. good man.

vRSLen · 13-03-2007, 18:45

Cam lift and timing Jason? Sounding good so far.

Not sure what you mean on that.

The cam... Hmmm, well, I never saw it and never really truly found out it's actual effect, but what it should do is provide me with a little more fuelling - possibly by keeping the valves open longer - all together, I'm not sure but I just knew I wanted one. I don't even know how much I paid due to the job lot nature of the bill.

But around £500-£600 all in is realistic, which includes the cost of 8 new cam followers @ £130.

Edit: And as for the turbo, it probably is based loosely around the VNT20, but the fact they had to fit modified downpipe connection, and also the exit from the turbo shows that some serious work has gone on internally. I've not even seen it myself yet....

sharkrider · 13-03-2007, 19:48

does the cam not let it rev higher? I know they do in petrols...... but the big iron engine limits revs in deisels........ maybe with the new map, higher revs/power can be acheived?!

Dift · 13-03-2007, 19:59

Im following this too... both on SCN and on here...

this is something i am aiming for at the end of the summer
