Matto's Shadow Blue GT Sport 210 *Updated 12.2.16 - Mods Complete*

<< < (7/63) > >>

Matto:
Will do an update Monday night or Tuesday after the remap.

Pagey, I agree. I love the Charlestons and so glad to have them back on again now. Car looks so much better and the handling is fantastic again. The car came with the ED30 front and rear splitter/bumpers when I bought it. I didn't know at the time that they were what they are lol. It is classed as an import so was probably spec'd for somewhere else. I'm wanting an R32 rear I think somewhere down the line.

As for the EGR removal, I've been to work and back today and unless its just my mind playing tricks on me it is definitely smoother to drive. It used to be a right pig at times. Fingers crossed it doesn't come back.

Matto:
Another little update from me with a few things I've been on with lately. First is the the Highline cluster which was fittted and coded by Kalu off here. Many thanks for that  :happy2:



Then at the end of last week I fitted my Darkside EGR delete in preparation for the remap.



On monday I booked the day off as I was paying a visit to Shark Performance (No longer running the Shark map. See page 15). I arrived just after 9am and was greeted by Rob who asked me what I wanted from the map etc and just to confirm what I had booked when I left a deposit at the Autosport show. Before anything happened it was put on the rollers to get my standard bhp. This came out at 181.8bhp/395Nm.



It then went into the workshop where Mark started with the DPF removal. He also removed the EGR pipe that fed round to the EGR valve to clean up the engine bay. While this was going on me and my mate was getting hungry so decided it was bacon and sausage cob time  :party: An ITG panel filter was also fitted at the same time.



It was a long day with a fair bit of waiting around but once everything was back together it was time to load the map in and see what the rollers said. The outcome was 216.6bhp/464Nm  :driver:



Dyno print out.



I am pleased with the results. Pulls like a train. There is abit of smoke which i expected but doesn't really bother me. 1st and 2nd are over in the blink of an eye, 3rd is awesome especially when you catch it right. Had abit of fun coming off an island on the A38. Planted the right foot and it just went berserk lol. 4th, 5th and 6th are plenty similar but all pull very well all the way through. Even though its abit of an animal I can still just cruise about no problem.

Only issue I had was the engine management light didn't go out once the map was loaded. The map was supposed to ignore the EGR. Had to pop back on the Tuesday when Mikko was back. I arrived on Tuesday afternoon and spoke to Rob and it turns out there was a little communication error between him and Mikko. He thought I was leaving the EGR valve in, but just didn't want it to work. Not that I had removed it completely. A little tweak on the map and its all sorted now.

Overall very happy with the results and service I got. Seemed eager to help and would use them again.

OldSpeckledBen:
The highline dash is awesome, I love all the options in there  :smiley:

Thats some good figures there matey  :happy2:
I'd be very happy with those, I sometimes wish I had bought the 170 version  :sad1:

Keep up the good progress mate,

Cheers

rdfcpete:
181hp standard*? Can't complain at that Matto  :happy2: It's barely been warmed up at 20,000 miles too!  :P

If EGR & DP removal, map and aftermarket panel filter has given 216hp, I'd be proud of that  :party:
Will a downpipe or aftermarket exhaust take you closer to 230hp in reality?

I'm looking at this engine in an A3 next hence the interest and appreciation for the before/after figures.

Still love the ED30 splitter. Makes the front look classier and beefier, much like it transformed the front profile of mine once fitted.

Matto:
Yeah pretty happy with the figures. Was expecting around the 170 mark but not as much as it was. My old PD150 made 156bhp as standard so that was high aswell.

Pete, I'm not too sure what extra gains you'd be looking at with an after market exhaust. Something I have thought about but not sure if its a route I will go down. Currently the DPF unit is still in. It just doesn't have anything inside. They seem to be a good engine apart from the injector fault which being addressed so you should be fine with one.

I know what you mean about the ED30 splitter, it just makes the front end for me. Didn't deadlier that's what it was when I bought it. It needs repainting though where the previous owner scuffed it on a curb.
