Carlan450 Edition 30 #787 - Ethanol testing done

(1/4) > >>

Carlan450:
How I havent joined this site yet is beyond me as I am a bit of a MK5 GTI pervert haha.

I bought this ED30 in March and have been enjoying every moment with it since.
When I bought it the spec included:
-Manual gearbox(although DSG is fantastic I perfer the feel of a manual gearchange)
-Xenons
-RNS510 Sat nav
-Auto wipers,lights and cruise control
-Armrest with ipod connection
-4 pot brembos up front
-Uprated HPFP
-ITG cold air intake
- Full turbo back milltek exhaust resonated with 200cell high flow cat.
-A reasonable map making 290ish BHP



So far I have gotten it detailed, cleaned the bay, quick repair over exhaust on bumper, those wheels are just temporary until the originals are restored. Also had to replace the troublesome pcv.

To date I have:
-Upgraded the clutch to Sachs Performance clutch with pressure plate and a new DMF
-Fitted the wavetrac LSD.
-Purchased the RS4 fuel pressure relief valve


Future Plans:
-Clean the intake ports as they are caked in carbon. (anyone got experience with the terraclean process for this?)
-Fit the rs4 fuel return valve
-Get the car on the dyno for a power run and maybe a little tweak.

Welcome to the forum  :happy2: I havnt been on here long but it's great very helpful!
Lovely car mate tornado red has got to be one if the best colours for the ed30 originally what I was looking for but the right one just wouldn't come up

Bit of an update.

Bought a set of Bilstein PSS10 and H&R anti roll bar, hopefully this will stiffen it up a little as the H&R monotubes are just too  soft and with a track day coming up need a better setup.

Finally got the car up onto the dyno and ive gotta say the figures disappointed, it made 271bhp and about 300lbft. The map that is on it is well capable of 320+bhp. The plan is to do a full inlet clean as a boroscope revealed some bad caking, gut the cat and finally add the RS4 fuel return valve.
Hopefully this will get the car into better figures.

"Joe Power Remap".... that might be your problem....  :signLOL:

As said I'd be considering changing the map, not sure what's available near you? Also before you gut the cat have you thought about just buying a decat pipe and selling your one on?
