Figured before any more changes are made to the software I would get some video of the in-car performance.

This software is verging on 4 years old, and am about to get a refresher. Still - going nicely for sure. Not sure on actual stats at the moment but I think I saw a rough 40 to 80 in under 5 seconds with a shift into 4th as well. Also, look! No Xmas tree lights on the dash (except fuel one....)

Have you driven it in the wet yet? What gears do you lose traction in in the dry?

Is a Diesel engine meant to spin up that fast?

That looks scary quick

Top job Jason

Was dry for this video and you can see, even with the diff, I lose 2nd gear sometimes, but it usually just heaves up 2nd to the redline / 55mph - The peloquin is awesome though and in the dry 3rd gear never spins, and even in the damp it's usually pretty good.

Looking really Good there with a cracking turn of accelleration as it is .... Sounds really well to.. Almost not Diesel like

Is that your Engine cover you can hear chattering away at Tickover ? Or your Clutch ?

Well Done.

Cheers.

Dean

thats bloody quick. And it sounds amazing.

That will be general vibes from the Jabba dogbone mount, which is why the new tune has a raised tickover to kill the vibes. The shaking is probably just about the entire car but I am used to it now pretty much - It just feeds into the camera quite harshly as it was lashed to my steering wheel.

Awesome

Sweet

Been in a few "peppy" cars, but never seen figures change quite that fast b4

Feck me, that is quick

Sounds good too

Awesome

couldn't have put it better myself....

I've seen slower rev counters....

Mad car! Great work Jason....

very quick, sounds muchbetter inside than outside

What revs does the turbo hit full boost? Say if you were to floor it in 3rd at 1000rpm, where does it hit full boost?

No idea yet as I have not done the measuring block 11 duty cycle checks to ensure the actuator is setup right. I think it is coming in too late. It is pretty much on full boost by 2200rpm, but I think this turbo is supposed to be able to spool up lower down than it currently is.

Fierce acceleration, I timed the last run 30-80mph in 5 or 6 seconds. Wasn't very scientific mind you, I just

looked at my watch. Good stuff

No wonder your fuel lights on, driving like that

That goes very well indeed and sounds rather nice aswell

I like it ALOT

Amazing!!!!

Bonkers! Close road testing I trust??!!

Was not even on a road, officer! and no, my video camera was not lashed to my steering wheel with parcel tape!

Sounds great, Jason - rather "petroly" to my untrained ears - amazing difference to the sound of mine (which sounds a bit van-like)! Seems just a little bit fast, too!

In the video, you mention "race mode" on the ECU - is that a standard thing in the ECU (I know the auto Fabia's have "sport" and "economy" modes, but not sure about the manuals), or is that something that's been fiddled into it?

I was just referring to the adaptive ECU as I had pootled really quite slowly due to traffic, up to the place I went off the public highway.

These turbos tend to need a bit of heat in them too, mike's is quite soggy when it's cold but as soon as you've done a run or two it's happy

Didn't realise the ECU was as clever as that! Are you able to give a quick outline of what the adaptive ECU does (or rather, what changes, e.g. altered throttle response)? I'm just curious, as I don't really know much about the internal gubbins, and would like to know a little.

Not sure how it really works. Probably retards the VNT mechanism a little bit? Possibly also changes the ignition timing or something like that so you get good fuel economy on a long gentle run.
