[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[Spiky 37]

well, had a few hours at llandow, then came home and did some wiring and bits and peices on the 205

 

had to make a new loom, for the sensors/alt/starter becuase that wiring went with my ecu loom

 

also nipped a bit off the sump so i can lower my rad

There doesn't appear to be any protection (such as a grommet) on the wires going through your bulkhead (!), or is this just a test fit?

[Spiky 37]

good spotting

 

to be done

[dcc 855]

Spike!

 

Whats with the be1 box?

[Spiky 37]

Hi Steve,

 

Did you receive my PM regarding your uprated ARB ??

 

Chris

[Spiky 37]

paid and replied dude

 

did you sell the 309 ?

[309PUG 2 1 Cars]

paid and replied dude

 

did you sell the 309 ?

 

Yep,

 

Guy from Heathrowe bought it over the phone unseen, his cousin came up with cash just to collect it

Looking at selling Rachels 04 plate Focus and buying an Golf R32

[Spiky 37]

[philfingers 5]

R32. Look after it. Thieving scum bags put a young kid through a window about 8" deep at my brother in law's house and got him to get the keys off the table for his R32. He got it back 2 days before pay out. carpet was soaked in coke, old chips, they'd smoked in it. He was gutted, obviously

[Spiky 37]

well i've done a little more work on the car recently,

 

all i'm waiting for now is my ecu to turn up, but god knows when that is

 

but the rest of the car is pretty much back together

 

 

bought a new filter for it

 

 

 

 

 

 

fitted my new HT leads and a coil pack

 

 

 

 

so many wires

 

 

 

 

bought a wide band lambda gauge with the controller and sensor, so fuel economy should be improved

 

[Spiky 37]

not much room now lol

 

 

more wiring

 

 

 

above was a slightly older pics

 

todays pics are as follow

Looking good dude, hurry up and get it fnished cos mine is next on your list hehe

[Spiky 37]

lol

[tracktoy 0]

getting there dude, hope that ecu turns up in time

 

its gonna sound awesome

[Spiky 37]

made a bracket to hold the rad at the top, to giive a tin amount of strength to the front as i wont running a slam panel now

 

 

 

 

[SteveW 6]

has it enough clearance for the flappy bonnet?

[djinuk 2]

with regards the afr setup mate.. be very cautious with using the lc1.. the rtoc boys are very large fans of wideband as it allows them to up boost whilst monitoring the fueling and thus prevent headgasket failure but many had lc1 gauges through a group by and had a lot of trouble so innovate allowed them upgrades to the lm1 setup which i also have and have been fault free.

 

Also be warned dont use the gauge constant , only to monitor/setup as they have limited life spans. You probably already know that anyhow but i just wanted to make sure

 

Still gota setup my lm1 in my r5, its just sat in its box, all new and clean

[Spiky 37]

you mean remove the lambda sensor?

 

or just the gauge?

[djinuk 2]

the sensor mate, i think the life span is 50 hours + , obviously not really ideal to be fitted all the time. You should get a bung in the kit i believe that can be screwed into the lamda bung. Its a mistake i almost made in thinkin ah ill fit this and if anything ever goes wrong with fueling ill spot it but was quickly corrected .

[Spiky 37]

thats a bit crap, if i want to run closed loop, as the sensor will need to be run all the time

[djinuk 2]

not exactly sure on what a closed loop is, but yea it is a bit crap. It may be false information as i was only passed it on from a friend however be prudent to find out .

[tom_m 0]

50 hours is the lifespan if using leaded fuels. on conventional unleaded you should be expecting a life span of around 500 hours

[swordfish210 20]

not exactly sure on what a closed loop is

 

It means that the ECU is adjusting the fueling and the ignition by taking a reading from all the sensors, an ECU in a road car will run like this when the car is warm. Open loop means the ECU is controlling the fueling and ignition but only taking a reading from a few sensors, temperature related i think but not the lambda, it will run like this when the engine is cold.

 

Something like that anyway
