Winter plans / projects

[andygtt]

So this forum is slowing down quite a bit with the big modifiers not really posting much on here anymore about what they are up to.

So lets try and kick some interesting discussion about winter plans etc

I will kick it off... Usually my car has a massive list of planned mods and winter sees some significant mods, unusually I have nothing big planned and only small finishing off mods to do so here is my list.

New bigger Injectors.
New more powerful coils.
Fix / replace wheel speed sensors (cause off all my misfires this year lol).
Remap car for above.
Trim center consol
Make carbon passenger seat to match drivers seat.
Design and make some carbon wing supports and end plates.
finish rear diffuser and exhaust tips.

Not sure if I am going to push the power of the car up... but.... on saturday I saw a focus RS on the hub dyno I ran mine on and we had a bit of banter and we got asked to guess the power and I said if it makes more power than mine I would put mine on and slap up the boost to whoop its ass etc etc... then it made 800bhp at the flywheel (55bhp more than me) and I got to eat my words lol.
It was very very impressive actually running 3bar of boost... then again it was running race fuel rather than standard pump fuel like mine
So id be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to turn the boost up just a little on mine to see if I can find 60bhp lol

I run 1.4-1.5 bar currently... the sweat spot on my turbo is 1.6bar and I have run 1.7 bar with this turbo on previous engine spec, the new spec engine allowed more power to be made on less boost... Ive run this engine / set-up for 3 years now.

Mods have varied massivelly, its very easy to get sucked into modding these cars as they respond so well to it and the chassis can take whatever you throw at it.

good luck with the hunt.
