stuRALLYE 5 Posted June 9, 2016 After 4 years(!) off of the road my car is finally up and running again, thanks to everyone on here who has sold me parts or given me advice. I've been driving it around for the last 2 weeks on a map that came with my Emerald ECU, and it seems to be going well. I'm booked in for the 8:30 slot at Interpro in Bristol tomorrow morning for a mapping session to get everything as it should be. It's now running a standard gti6 engine with jenvey 45s and a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold. I'm hoping I can report back tomorrow that all went well! Stu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuRALLYE 5 Posted June 10, 2016 Well I'm very happy with the result. Great mapping by dave at Interpro, and a really nice chap too. Peak power 197.5bhp @147mph. I'm off for a drive.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted June 10, 2016 Enjoy! Sounds like you've had a bit of a 'mare getting this far, so go out, give it a spanking and enjoy the fruits of your efforts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted June 10, 2016 how much torque? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuRALLYE 5 Posted June 10, 2016 I don't know! There isn't a reading on the printout I have and I wasn't thinking fully while I was there to ask. That's a bit weird! I'll call on Monday and see if he has it saved with the map and power runs. I've been out in it though and along with the lsd it's great fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted June 10, 2016 I've been out in it though and along with the lsd it's great fun! Which is - in my opinion at least - all that really matters on a road car. People get too hung up on numbers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuRALLYE 5 Posted June 10, 2016 Yeah I agree, I'm not bothered about what it's making, rolling road figures blah blah blah. I wanted it to be set up well so it's fast on the road and that's what I've got so I'm over the moon with it. Time to book a track day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcc 855 Posted June 10, 2016 Solid figures, my standard gti6 engine made about 165whp, if you take about 20% losses, your figure seems spot on for a really healthy engine What I will say is 147mph is probably near the limiter in 5th! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) naah, it'll go to 155 with a long enough piece of road but peak would be 147 on a well timed up gti6 at around 6500. Edited June 10, 2016 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
