The car has been in the garage longer than i have owned it :fighting:
........................................................................................
The first thing i done was to install a genuine golf mk5 bra

Then install Evoms intake/ heat shield & Open air intakes

I must say i was very impressed with the sound and performance increase mid-range.!
Then installed my open air vents to help with heat soak

Then i went about spending 4hs of my life installing the IC
The day begun by me stripping a few bits off the car and also removing the bumper,

I then removed all the IC pipes and found myself a nice little boost leak, the stupid C clip had slipped off
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myjunk.eclipse.co.uk%2Fnewcar%2Fbuild%2Ficp2.jpg&hash=cf09ab8c72a9104d101ff0ced09ade540dc04fb7)

Once all the pipes were removed, i had to remove the front panel! This part was rather interesting. I had to balance all the rads with one hand while pulling away the front end! Job done after a few magic tricks.
I supported the rads with some axel stands and went about removing the standard IC from the rad pack

Then i installed the new IC in place
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myjunk.eclipse.co.uk%2Fnewcar%2Fbuild%2Ficp7.jpg&hash=b481675b5cb670fb54ea4a0f85f19175aec6e3e2)
Then put all the back together!! Witch was the easy part
You really could tell the difference once you started to do lots of sprints... the recovery time was fantastic
On the same day i installed the Walk anti lift kit (very easy job)

Is that an angle tuning map or angel tuning map? Liking the mods, cant wait to fit my THS cooler later this month. Cheers, Stevie. :drinking:

OK
The next thing i done was installed the K04, S3 injectors.

Here is the RR

The car had mega over boost and would limp all the time :scared: I had so many problems it went back and forth for weeks.... I got a full refund and they left the map on the car :signLOL:
that is the short story version.
I then dragged the car to nick at r-tech for a custom remap!

This was nicks information
.............
A bit of a task this Mk5 GTi with S3 turbo/injectors and HPFP.
The hard part was getting the fuel constant via the air flow correct so the fuel trims are within reason,and the injectors not dumping fuel as the turbo is spooling. Step1 re-scale injectors on a stock map and set the rail pressure maps to work with the HPFP, this took around days of trial and error testing and logging. Next step was to tame the boost and make sure I had full control, the first thing I noticed with running the k04 on the k03 mapping was that under load at higher rpms the boost would creep off the scale, I would ask for around 2250mb, the ecu would ask for the correct load and boost but becuase of the k03 n75 mapping being on a lower scale the n75 realted maps would allow too much duty cycle. So it was another 2 days getting the boost correct and with in maps sensor range and having the n75 act for the k04, it got the the point that the actual boost was running 200mb below the requested line... at this point I had safe control so time to wind the n75 up in increments to give a little spool up over boost which just clipped the 2580mb map sensor and fall back to the requested boost 2400-2300mb. Next task was timing nice and easy to get a base point as the S3 timing maps and scales fitted in place nice.. now just a matter of keep adding the timing in until the ecu started to pull back on the correction of the car stopped making any more power.
I have really enjoyed doing this job as I was taking a lot on doing it, but knew with enough time I could get it bang on. I had no aim of chasing peak numbers, just a car that pulled and pulled like a bitach to the red line.
The final result was 335bhp 310lbft @270.25gs..... £80 woth of fuel used on the dyno and road.

I took the old girl to the track

Installing this was harder than fitting the turbo!! i smashed my head and hands up for this!
I did not have a DAB connection so used the FM worked fine.

I had loads of problems burning plugs due to my remap so nick(r-tech) wanted the car back
I think he installed..
NGK Iridium X
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.awesome-gti.co.uk%2Fshopimages%2Fproducts%2Fnormal%2Fngkirdium.jpg&hash=84f1ebd3312c77ef3dd0637a027db93b69640c9f)
That corrected the problem.
I then needed to upgrade my brakes again :party:
AP Formula Big Brake Kit
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myjunk.eclipse.co.uk%2Fnewcar%2Fbuild%2Fbrakes1.jpg&hash=68476ea34f9ebe4d03694c0d7b005364cab3c480)
These brakes are fantastic!
I then wanted more power so the only way was!!

I think nick said the car made 380BHP can’t remember the torque!
She was ready to be collect, then had an electric fault. It has been at r-tech for 6 months.
It has had,
New, Throttle body, engine loom, sensors, Pedal, and still goes into full limp mode at wot :(
I have a b16, LSD, Clutch, TT arms left to install.
Sorry about being picture heavy, is a years’ worth.
-
Wow, that's a lot of work gone in there. Must have cost a small fortune. Hope you get it all sorted soon.
-
where the hell do you get them bonnet bras from?
-
Great project :happy2:
-
Another mad modder. :notworthy: great thread so far. :happy2:

Saw this in the flesh today. Gonna be awesome once it's sorted :happy2:
-
There will be an END!!! :grin: I have had Rob cleaning all the earth straps today..... how many earth points does a mk5 bloody have..lol
374bhp 350lbft was best result with RS4 valve and 130bar of rail pressue on vpower.
The plugs used where Nology silver tip plugs gapped to 0.75 which cured the missfire issues straight way. I have used them on a few TFSI engines now which had been eating coil packs and eliminated the issues. We had a Revo stage2+ BWA ko4 S3 injectors in yesterday on the dynodaze rolling road with exact same misre and eating coil packs, I sent him down the nology route. He managed around 354bhp 378lbft.
Nick

got a call from nick! he has fixxed my car!! :jumpmove: :jumping:
should be able to pick it up next mid week! woohooo
-
congrats bud :happy2:
did nick say wot the fault was???
-
Glad you got it all sorted in the end. Now at least you can get to enjoy the car how it should be.
-
I've seen this car in the flesh at r-tech...bet it's well quick
-
Great build!! :congrats: :congrats:
-
Nick said he changed the coil packs and the sensor on the fuel pump ( Thrust sensor?) Just shows VW fault codes dont know what they are on about :fighting:
The car was bloody rapid when i left it!! Now with them extra horses! should be mental!
Sent Nick a decat yesterday so should make a few more ponys!

There was problems with the car pumping out white smoke, found it to be a problem with the forge catch can it is far too restrictive!! so ordering a draft42 catch can!
Will collect it tomorrow! Fab work by r-tech! :driver: :smiley:

....I'm sure I'm not the only one running a Forge catch tank interested to hear more detail about this restriction, please. :popcornsoda:
-
They found when going over x bhp and left to idle the car would pump out white smoke, was creating loads of back pressure on the crank. Going from the standard 21mm to an 8mm pipe is shocking.
When the catch can was d/c the car would run smother and no white smoke.

....No such problems with mine, I'm glad to report. 21mm > 8 mm? Which are those? - Running to the catch tank itself?
-
Was there when they were finishing this off. Mental car :happy2:, and definately in the right hands.
Was so loud :grin:
Nick even took me out in it on Friday at 340bhp and that was quick enough. :congrats:
Think they were putting it back on, after i left, to eek those few more horses out of it for a genuine 400bhp
-
Christ.... 400bhp is gonna be mental, best set up a monthly order via camskills :signLOL:
-
How on earth dd you manage 397 BHP?? :jumping: What have you got on your car now? :party:

just the stuff in the build :happy2:
if i had a ed30 engine i would install nos as well
-
James is all this on your BWA??
Epic result there, I bet Nick was pleased with that :drool:
-
WMI and lots of advance FTW!!!!!!
1.47bar from 3100rpm to 7100rpm... with zero timing pull and lambda locked to .84
I wanted to aim for the Revo/ APR stage-3 100ron 400bhp+ numbers but that would mean running out of range of the stock GTI map sensor.
As for the catch can system I seems is cannot cope with the crank pressures from the blow by from higher power output, unplugged it and vented the crank breater now its all clear.
I cannot wait until Jmaes drives this today, its bang on 100bhp up on the last tuners stage 2+ map which he had last year..
-
Il be doing the k04 conversion soon, looking forward to the custom stage 3 map at R tech :party:
-
Yea is a BWA engine, i am just interested to see what their limits are :driver: If it does go bang i will just install a cdl engine with stronger rods :happy2:
We reinstalled the rs4 valve back in the car and it felt like it had lost some power so we put it on the RR, it made around 370bhp 330lb-ft so a few bhp had gone.
Nick played with the map increased the rail pressure and n75 load. The car had changed its tune on the RR
This was the final outcome, nick was not happy leaving it like this due to the rods. I asked him to leave it and we will see how she gets on.
The drive is EPIC! lol

Are those figures (360) at the wheels I take it James? Good to see my old mods are being put to good use.. :happy2:
-
yea 360 at the wheels :happy2:

Nice work Nick!
What is your water meth setup in there and how is it configured? ie, start and max times, and nozzle size.
What mix are you using for the water/meth.
FYI I bent a rod at around 400 on my BWA, but I thnik the map was causing the boost to come on quite early.
-
James that torque of yours translates into 447NM (and mine's up to 517NM = 382 LB-FT :wink: )
-
yea i am running a bwa engine, playing with fire as it is lol. You have upgraded yours :P! i would push it alot harder if i had your engine :driver:
-
368ft-lb is 498.9nm ??
-
368ft-lb is 498.9nm ??
390 on mine was 525nm if I remember right so about right
-
I played with getting it linear as I could, if peak boost was at 3000-3200lbft I am sure some silly rod bending torque numbers would crop up and the peak cylinder pressures would be sky high with the BWA CR. If it was a ko3 I would tune with a huge dolop of power in from 2900rpm 3600rpm.
I just cannot get my head around how well the k04 flows, its shocked but gave me a huge buzzz as I can see me having fun over the next 10-15 years tuning these monsters.. I will find out the BWA ko4 limits as soon as I buy my own and max it out. I thought Hurdys ED30 was a monster on my dyno at 360bhp.. :party:
Nick

Nick have you had a go at mapping a hybrid K04 yet .Great results :happy2:

Not yet, but what I am finding with the MED9 ecu open loop boost control I am sure I could get some nice results... I cannot wait to play with one.

sorry James, i took the torque figure from the 370hk above the graph :sad1:
my mistake
-
No worries mate :happy2:
I went and collected 100liters of methanol yesterday, so i thought i would try 100% meth for the drive home! It was epic, but not sure how long the engine will last me doing this :stupid:
The snow performance kit it setup to run 100% when over 11 psi.
i was running 60m/40w

I want WMI in my life! Did R-rtech installed this for you?

It was slipping on the dyno against the eddy brake on the last few logging sessions... no you just gone and killed it..
Cannot wait until we get this down pod, the linear power should make for a good time.

Today I nearly blew myself up!! I kept smelling petrol in the car and thought it was due to my catch can venting to air at the moment. (Forge are sending me a replacement!)
Further investigation I found my rs4 valve is dripping fuel! Not looking forward to removing it! Looks like it is crossed threaded: fighting:
I wondered why my car was an arse to start in the morning, due to no rail pressure! :sick:
-
One day it'll all be working properly :grin:
-
My RS4 valve that had been on 12 months was potentially buggered so for the cost I might add it to the servicing along with oil & cam follower
-
yea going to order another one and replace and get :mad:
-
well got my rs4 replaced, no more leaks!!
I dropped my car off at the garage to have all my bits installed LSD, Helix clutch & fly wheel, TT wish bones, KW3 V3, S3 rear brakes.

I did around 500 odd miles to let the clutch settle in, it is now epic but a very heavy clutch. I also love the diff whine! :driver:

What is the offset and width of the new wheels you have and also what tyre sizes? That could be the problem.

Are you missing a stud on your downpipe?
Are you running a Whiteline WALK kit? Would be worth getting the arches rolled.

yea looks like it has snapped off!
yea i have a walk kit, i was hoping i did not need to get the arches rolled, is that the only option?

Or the kerscher fenders
Take a look @ REX build thread

Or my Seibon fenders as i am changing mine, could you be interested?
I'm a bit puzzled by your rubbing problems, what size tyres are you running?
-
Remember the TT arms will add another 7-10mm track
-
Remember the TT arms will add another 7-10mm track
Plus fitting the arms with the whiteline WALK kit pushes the wheels around 15mm further forward. I bet the rubbing is on the front of the arch where the bumper joins the wing. Only way round it is to go back to the original consoles with the SuperPro anti lift bushes (in stock!!).
-
7mm for the TT arms at max negative camber and 3mm from Cupra/S3 alloy hubs :happy2:

is it to low?

....I don't think so. Or at least, I just about get away with mine being as low as it is. I have to be extra careful over speed bumps and indoor car parks with ramps are a no-no, but not helped by the Mk5 GTI's long frontal overhang coupled with my OSIR front splitter.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi22.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb308%2FRedRobin_05%2FRED_332.jpg&hash=863255dc67fe719bfc9a158cc5f2025dfb7474e1)
I only rub on the front arch liners and only under very extreme loading into 90 degree corners and tight roundabouts. My bodyshop is sorting that out literally right now while they have my car for front wing rust repair under warranty.
I'm on KW V3's as well.
Also, I have the same AP front brakes plus S3 rear brakes. The S3 rears make a big difference to result in well planted and very even hard braking.
-
same height as mine i think
-
I ran KW V3s wound down with no issues at all for a very long time. It wasnt until I fitted the TT lower arms ive had an ongoing nightmare with tyre/arch battles!
The lower arms give extra track width

It in development stages still, just lots of logging and and refining the map, fuel and timing is spot on as thats easy to do in mapping with a few maps.
The way we have mapped the software to make the power is to rewrite the N75 boost control maps and run the WOT boost control open loop to allow us to have full boost control and keep with in the 2.5bar map sensor range, its a case of plotting boost and n75 logs and graph them to produce linear lines which I can export into the map.
I can see this method of open loop tuning the TFSI for big power catching on soom... :wink:

Was that with WMI. Are the logs safe? What Happens if you run out of meth at full tilt with that setup?
-
yea with WMI if it was cooler I would of found another 10-15bhp i recon.
yea 100% safe, you can see the fuelling it spot on, there is no engine pull. I have run out of meth before blasting around, the engine notices and pulls itself back.
i just carry 5 litters spare in the boot, so never run out.

That AFR graph shows how safe it is :happy2:

This is one totally amazing car, everything is very neatly done...
Good job James...
Whats next!

Amazing power for Jkm's rollers :congrats: :congrats:

I wonder what it could make with a hybrid and an extra 3 psi boost!
That's mix is almost guaranteed to bend his standard oem rods... :scared:
-
LOL im surprised they are still in one piece now!
Steve P's Mk5 made 15 bhp less than James' on the same rollers and I think his bent a rod
-
To keep rods straight its about keeping the peak cylinder pressures down and lower engine speeds, On the map version James has on at the moment we have capped the load where we guess peak cylinder pressure will happen, then shifted the torque band higher in the rpm range where the engine has greater crank speeds.
I cannot wait to do a BT TFSI... :wink:
-
yea i am really shocked how well this engine is holding up i was just intrested to see what it could do. if it went bang i was going to put in a S3 engine with a BT :driver:
I change the oil every 4/5k seems to like its abuse lol. big credit to nick! :drinking:
I think the engine will come out soon, as i want nos :driver:
These also come today :drool: just need to get my blowing exhaust fixxed first.

well the engine gave up, it had done 10k and is now is firing on 3 cylinders and smoking.
Was going up a hill in 3rd got to 5.5k and engine light come on with lots of smoke and 1.5k limp.
discounted the battery to i could drive home and it was not fun. (went along the sea front people enjoying there chips, then I come along and stinking them out!)

looks like i am back driving the TT doh!!

Damn me was your engine a BWA? How did this happen?
-
yea bwa, just pure abuse.

Has it got anything to do with your internals not coping with it? Also the water meth must of been a culprit too
-
I think I read on a 1 of your posts somewhere you bought a CDL code engine?
-
nevermind, time to forge it.
-
yea bwa, just pure abuse.
I'd buy an S3 lump, always a risk running such high power from your engine. After seeing it run at JKM recently, I was astonished with the power it was producing.
Sorry to see this same thing happen to someone else running such high power. :sad1:

Luckily I have decided not to keep my AXX and rebuild it to go and do a k04 map on that :fighting:
Hopefully the new R engine will be more then enough
TTRS is on another level! :wink:
-
you would of been fine, i just pushed my car to far. Nick would of never mapped your car like mine.
-
That's a shame James but after seeing it at JKM I did think it would only be a matter of time.
Not sure around costs but S3 lump with rods would be a good start. :happy2:

yea i knew that also, but it had a happy 10k lol.
i might just put a standard s3 engine in for now(that should handle the power fine?), rebuild my bwa so i can get it back on the road ASAP.

If it blows it blows...so lets try it and see whay the BWA can take.. << Words from james.
Its lasted over 8000 miles..
Cannot wait to see what failed.

James, sorry to hear its given up :sick:
However well done for proving the durability of the BWA well into the 300's :notworthy:
Would be interested to see what failed - especially if it's not the rods :scared: - that would worry the ED30 crowd. . .

There's a 600hp 2.0tfsi engine for sell, gtx30 based turbo comes with clutch kit and all the other bits needed to run reliably. Massive spec for a good price!

Where n how much? I might be interested if the price is right
I was running around 380 / 380ftlb
I have a funny feeling the rods are ok n it is a piston ring

the build originally cost Jonny in excess of 15k and me a lot more again, asking price is 6k for an absolute monster of a package that's a fraction of the price also bearing in mind the WOA manifold is no longer in production
and of course this setup will fit S3, cupra, golf, Octavia etc.. ready to drop straight in

.....and here is a direct link http://www.vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=11181

that is rather tempting!! hmmm where is it based?
-
I believe the setup is on VAGOC.co.uk...
Might be a different one though...
-
yeh its from vagoc, between jonny and dan they spent over £20k on that engine. didnt see anything amazing from it in terms of track times or videos but i know jonny always takes his cars to trusted places and pays hansomly for the skilled staff to do his work.
-

north of the country.
If I had a 2.0TFSI id buy it! 6k for all that gear is bargain!

Amazing power!
-
Have you got any old videos/youtube clips of this car in motion? Really want to see the power

x2 ^^^^^ :happy2:

just a note to all, my rods where fine, one of my piston rings went :signLOL: that bwa was a fighter!

That just goes to show how strong the BWA engines can be... well done James... :happy2:
Whats on the agenda then?

What's the plans now James?
Rebuild with stronger internals (piston rings at least :grin:)
Or 2.5 TFSI :party:
-
i thought the piston rings where all the same?
I am going to install the cdl engine with the k04 + wmi, and max it out to see what i can get. Mine was not running maxxed out :rolleye:
Then big turbo, I am just interested to see what u can get with a standard k04.
The engines are so easy to take out so i am willing to test a few things!
-
i cant find a 2.5 anywhere :fighting: and nick said he has not tunned one yet so.... :sad1:
-
Sounds like a plan :happy2:
Looking forward to the results

Sounds like a plan :happy2:

X2 - get it done in time for JKM in October eh :wink:

oh yea it will deffo be done by then. i removed my engine last week, car is looking sorry for it self on the drive!
cdl engine should come next week!

How much did you get the engine for James?

yeh its from vagoc, between jonny and dan they spent over £20k on that engine. didnt see anything amazing from it in terms of track times or videos but i know jonny always takes his cars to trusted places and pays hansomly for the skilled staff to do his work.
I logged Dan's car running this setup last year, monster :happy2:
-
£800 with no turbo.
yea i am tempted to spend 6k on that engine but i dont need it all. but i could sell the parts i dont want.
-
What's the cdl engine from?
-
golf r and new seat i think.
-
.
Forgiving my ignorance but is "cdl" an engine code? CDL?
-
Yea it is the newest 2.0 TFSI engine(strongest). They use it in the golf R and new S3
Think its full name is a CDLA
-
Excellent james, looking forward to seeing your new plans..
just had my engine rebuilt too on another note ;)

OK well I changed the engine/gearbox in a couple of days on my own was rather easy really.
Removed the front end / loom / pipes/ drive shafts so I could get my nacked old engine out

These CDL engines sound sweet compared to the AXX and BWA

Great Job James, even more so for doing it yourself.... :happy2:

CDL is from S3. BYD is Ed30 iirc. Basically the same apart from a few minor details.
-
Brave you definitely deserve a round of :congrats:
-
it was not bad when i got into it, got one of them picture memories so was easy really.
i also redone the loom so my n75 connection come out in the correct place, i hated that wire over the top of the engine. :jumpmove:
-
Well i talked with nick(r-tech) about my map and he explained if i changed my fuel sensor under the inlet manifold it would be fine.
Changed it to day! I have all my power back whoop :driver:
....
Then the AC pump seized and snapping my belt! Was not fun but luckily I had a spare!
-
Great to hear that it's back :happy2:
One of the best cars on this site, no expense ever spared on the car and it gets driven properly too :driver:
-
NIce work James! Can't wait to see some figures from the new engine! ;)
-
yea i am looking forward to it also!
Does anyone know what belt i would need not to run the AC pump?
I want to do a RR befor and after to see if it does take any power away when it is not running.

We had a play with the map, car does need more fine tuning, as the CDL engine runs totally different to my old BWA but we ended up with 360bhp and 390ftlb so is still fun to drive :driver:
-
Great stuff - any difference to the way it drives between the CDL & BWA? Does it 'feel' stronger?
Is Nick confident that he'll find your missing bhp?
I'll have to speak to you later in the week about a custom map from Nick to accommodate my future planned mods - got far too many questions at the mo and don't want to clog up your thread.
Great to see that the car is back :happy2:
-
Nice to see this back up and running James. :happy2:
I wonder how dear old Sammy's getting on? :evilgrin:

Impressive work changing that motor on your drive. Best of luck with the project, it's certainly making an interesting read :happy2:

I popped up to r-tech today to get my mapped tweaked as I felt it was not running 100% due to the engine change;
The end result for now,
394BHP /373lbs 25psi peak then 19/20psi to redline

I have also asked nick to create a 30psi map so i can get more torque, as I liked getting chucked into the back of my seat :driver:
Though i would also share the state of my old inlet on the BWA engine. It has only done 40k i was rather shocked. I was running 50/50 meth also so thought it might of been cleaner.

Is this without the WMI at the moment?
-
What happens if the meth stops for whatever reason full chat?
-
Surely this with WMI, AWESOME figures! Why doesn;t my KO4 produce this!? :confused:
-
James those inlets look pretty good. Bit dark (stained) but not much carbon build up at all. I'd say the WMI has helped there, compared to some of the inlet pics I've seen :happy2:
Graeme
-
What happens if the meth stops for whatever reason full chat?
Maybe he's got a Polar to alert him of rising CFs and egt...
-
yea it is with WMI - it is all down to the tuner ;) i do have more power now but it is in testing! :driver:
I have run out of WMI during full chat, you just see the light go out and you let off. A small amount wont do damage as the engine will notice and pull its self back.
-

You can get it wired in to cut the N75.

Simple relay arrangment that cuts the earth to the N75. BDM borrowed STOLE all my old wiring diagrams and special info when I left so I will have to find the info stuck deep in my head.
Drop me a PM.

What meth kit are you running?
-
snow performance stage 3 kit
-
I will look at the wiring for the kit and see what way the relay would need to be.
As long as the kit allows it.
-
Could I run a relay from the low fluid switch so it would make it ground the the n75?
-
Most kits have their own wire that you can use as a cutout. Not sure if your kit has that.
-
James did you get my pm/email?
Really sorry to post this in your thread but just need to know if you can help me out with the sensor.
Thanks.
-

Sorry James missed that but it was Alex who told me anyway.
I know the AEM kit allows this, the one I will be getting, but as Alex says not sure.
You will be able to MAP it upto the Meth then :driver:
-
I wouldnt rely on just the low fluid sensor to know if meth is working. My snow kit is working intermittantly at the moment. The tank is full though.
-
Yea might just buy a flow kit for it
-
Had a look at the wiring info on the kit. Doesn't have a specific wire that can be used. Would have to go through the led. Maybe fit a buzzer to the wire. More noticeable than an led.
-
ok mate, thanks for your help.
-
James thanks for the HPFP, all rebuilt and running fine.

hi james looking for a bit of advice i am replacing my bwa with golf R CDL engine would it be best to use all the sensors from my bwa engine? and then get a custom remap from r tech :happy2:
-
hi mate, you just need to install the G247 High Pressure Fuel Sensor and map sensor from your bwa then your be ready to go :driver:
you can drive the car but dont give it any beans, your just hear the engine loading due to the n75 request.
-
thanks james any other hints and tips lol :laugh:

Hey James
With the G247 High Pressure Fuel Sensor, are these different on say the ed30, s3, Cdl engines compared to the BWA ?
thanks
-
yep, the s3 g247 made my engine run lean.
It is do with the voltage they signal on, bwa has one point and it seems the s3 has to points.
Tips.
Just change it on your drive! only took me 1.5 days on my own, really easily job :drinking:
-
The whole engine or just the G247 :signLOL:
The G247 should take an hour and some 'modified' spanners. :happy2:
-
takes 15 min :happy2:
it is not like the rs4 valve :mad:

James, I can't believe this. I have had a lean problem for ages and spent loads trying to sort. I changed my G247 about a year ago due to, turns out in the end, a map problem.
It was given to me, I have my original Jesus I really hope it is I just bought new injectors!
Can you remember your fault code?
Lean off idle by any chance?
-
Yea was something like that, took me a little while to work out just started playing with the sensors and found this one to be the problem.
When i looked into it, i found out they are different on the ed30/s3/r have two points of signal and the axx/bwa have one. Once I installed my old one problem solved.
why did you change it??
You can also correct it in the map.

Well I popped to r-tech for a couple of days for some testing to find out really what this turbo can do with WMI!
We started off by setting up launch control at 4k but it was abit of an epic fail, the car has way too much power and just sits there! So I asked nick to have a look into limiting the power in 1&2nd to see if we could get a good launch! (still in testing)
The next fun part was seeing what we could get out of the old girl! The car was producing good power 380hp/400ftlb but the turbo was tailing off so much at the top end! (like normal) So went about adjusting the actuator on the turbo . We found it nearly made 50hp on the stop end! but you lose it down low but that suites me.
The next problem was we were getting a dip at 5800rpm then it would pick back up at 6200. Logged the LPFP and it was dropping to 3.9bar :( So I got the latest revision from TPS “1K0 919 051 DB” + new fuel filter it was then holding 4.2 bar so it is better but will need an inline fuel pump!!
Also just a fyi the car made an extra 12hp and 10bhp just buy installing a new fuel pump and filter! (might be something to look into?)

In the end we left the car with some more testing required, but this was the end power result! Good show for a standard k04 and WMI!!

Must thank nick for a epic car :driver:

^^^^
You still coming to JKM next Saturday, James?
-
I hope so I need to see it :driver:
-
Yea I'm still coming. :happy2:
Just might get a little dip on the rr due to lpfp.
-
Well gotta say that 400bhp from a k04 is impressive. You've gotta be doing the wrong side of half a litre a minute on the water meth at 400bhp surely?
Looking forward to seeing it on JKM's rollers..
-
I have only just read this thread and your car is a very simular spec to mine, i am definately thinking a trip to rtec is in order :happy2:
love it :happy2:
-
I dont use much meth at all, all day on the rr i only used 2L i only use it from 20 psi
on my bwa i used loads cdl does not need so much.
Obese - You should go see him! fantastic service!

Anyone else got launch control for their manual GTIs?
Wondering how you find it, i have tried it at 3k & 4k but seems to bog down or spin lol.

what kit is that with? omex or wotbox? or did you have it mapped in somehow?
Thanks
-
The race logic traction control / launch looks very trick :innocent:
-
it is in the remap, no funky tools needed.
just bounces of 3k in natural when your foot is to the floor.
Just trying to get the hang of it lol
-
Id this a custom map or did you have it added to a revo/apr/etc? if so did it cost much if you dont mind me asking? would be really interested in getting launch control. when you say in neutral you mean in gear with clutch depressed right?
-
custom map, did not cost me anything im a r-tech guinea pig somthing new to try :drinking: "when you say in neutral you mean in gear with clutch depressed right?" correct.
you get a nice little burrble to :happy2: nothing like the 5pot STs!! :confused:
Was not sure if anyone else had it from another company and how they found it.
-
James - On your launch control, does it build boost when your sitting there with the revs held at 3,000rpm like proper launch?
-
no, did not think you needed it as it does that when you dump the clutch. If i had boost also i would never move.

Along with the LO4XX Brian has fitted the Wotbox i have had laying around for app. 6 month. He's out dialling the map in now, just spoke with him, and he kept grinning :drool:
-

Haha yes, but on a 4wd car it would be awesome. My friend is working on this at the moment, proper launch control that makes boost but on the standard management too.
We want to get it to work on DSG cars aswell, so when your sitting with launch control on at 4,000 rpm your making say 15psi of boost, now that be fun on an S3!
-
I just talked with nick r tech and it is not possible to get boost as the ecu works on load to make boost.
-

Can they not "trick" the ECU into thinking it is making load (as everything is run by computers and sensors anyway) ??
-
To make it happen a new sub function routine would need to be patched into a blank space of the MED9 ecu code. The raw basics off the function would need to allow the throttle plate to be fully open while clutch swith pressed, at the same time the timing needs to be removed to produce heat and to hold the engine speed static, then all the other functions will need to be changed to allow it to work and not trigger limp mode or faults, one being the missfire controls and timing controls.
The hard bit is getting the car to build boost static with out load on the engine, its a bit like wheel spinning in the wet the lost of traction reduces the engine load and the boost wont match its target request.
ME7.5 launch control with boost build can be done, http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=607.0 but ME9 ecu is much more complex and I cannot see a perfect anti lag launch happening without the aid of external equipment.
-
At the moment the only option for MED9 launch control is a 2 step function to aid traction like and F1 car, not to build boost like a rally car.
This is the first fully woking version of a 2step aid traction launch which I have wrote for the MED9 ecu for my ST maps. I am now working on to add it and getting it working perfect on VAG MED9.
Video > http://hexplus.co.uk/
and my first effort of traction launch control on me7.5 1.8T ecu
IMO having a boost build launch on a 2wd tfsi will be over kill, on a Golf R or S3 it would be epic....... Look at the APR 2step launch on keith's Golf R........AWESOME!!!!

yep, the s3 g247 made my engine run lean.
It is do with the voltage they signal on, bwa has one point and it seems the s3 has to points.
Tips.
Just change it on your drive! only took me 1.5 days on my own, really easily job :drinking:
We found the k03 ecus run a 140bar rail pressure sensor with a 2 point linear 0-5v scale in the software, and the k04 ecus run a 200bar sensor with a 3 point 0-5v scale to give better reading at higher rail demands. Since finding this out on james CDL I have now produced a base map to run the k04 sensors on the k03 sw.

this sounds very interesting as I am in the middle of dropping a CDL Engine in to my mk5 so it would be benifcial running the k04 rail pressure sensor rather than the k03 sensor? 8)8)

Unless you use the ECU from the CDL it won't work, H4RDY has made a topic abut this.

The AXX software is the 2 point reference rail sensor mapping 0.5v = 0 MPa / 4.5v =14 MPa
The BWA software is a 3 point reference rail sensor mapping 0.5v = 0 MPa / 2.5v = 7 MPa / 4.5v = 14 MPa
The CDL BWJ is also a 3 point reference rail sensor mapping 0.5v = 0 MPa / 2.5v = 10 MPa / 4.5v = 20 MPa
In theory we can change the 4.5v point to 20 MPa in the AXX mapping it will work fine as its just linear voltage to work with the CDL sensors. Its not an issues with the BWA software we can just use 0.5v = 0 MPa / 2.5v = 10 MPa / 4.5v = 20 MPa from the CDL mapping.
Anyone else know what other sensors differ across the AXX BWA CDL and BWJ engines? I cant look in to the software and see what can be used and what needs attention in the SW.

I believe so Alex.
-
that is correct :happy2:
problem is with this turbo, if you set the duty to 70% top end you will put the same power even if you set it to 100% as it blows the westgate open.
Would be intrested to see what would happen if you installed a stronger spring.
-
Using the forge actuator or oem?
-
I've been thinking of a forge actuator with a stronger spring?
-
Got a forge actuator if you want it, had it on my last hybrid Fuxxin horrible!
Gave Massive boost spike the but to be fair we tensioned it a wee bit :grin: made 450ft lb on spike but tailed off like a bitch after was a quick car though tbh!
-
yea i get 450ftlb but like you say it tails off fast like you can see in my rr
i cant be arsed to take the turbo out to change it, would rather just stick a bigger turbo on if i was going to do that :signLOL:

- High flow intercooler and discharge pipes
- Catch can & pcv
- (very much) Custom R-Tech mapping (must have updated the map about 50 times)

- AP front brakes
- S3 rear brakes
- TT lower arms and front end poly bushed
- uprated ARBs
I'm sure there's more :signLOL:
Car is outstanding and gets used properly too. Can't wait til it goes awd :happy2:

Cheers buddy.
I was wandering if R-Tec(h) have run the fuel pump above 130bar for more power. I know one of the latest updates to the APR GTx28 stage 3 setup is that it runs 150bar rail pressure with their HPFP. Interested to see if R-Tech have looked at doing the same or if its just not worth it on the K04?

Would be interesting to know.
I still find it staggering that (through a combination of WMI & R-Tech's map) is that it pulled just under 60 bhp more than my Revo Stage 3 on JKM's RR, on the same day :drool:
And before anyone says it, my car was running flawlessly on that day and was hitting the same figures as K04 Stage 2+ cars running on the same day.
-
What figures was yoh getting Garethb?
-
320 - about the norm for JKM's RR :signLOL:
-
Lol what did you make on r-tech rollers?
-
Never been on R-Techs.
James' pulled 378 bhp on JKMs and 401 bhp on R-Techs.
For a K04 car to achieve 378 bhp on JKM's rolling road is quite astonishing (imo)

It was de-tuned to 378bhp on R-Techs rollers (LPFP couldn't cope properly). Made exactly the same on JKM's rollers as R-Techs.
Not sure if James has done the LPFP yet, that would allow him to run the full 400bhp. :evilgrin:
Didn't Steve P run his big turbo at JKM and make less power than James? :grin:
-
Not sure if James has done the LPFP yet, that would allow him to run the full 400bhp. :evilgrin:
Id like to se if upping the rail pressure to 150bar like the APR stage 3 setup will make a difference

i am sure I was running around 135bar. I would be shocked if they was running 150bar as the rs4 valve could not cope with that.
Looking forward to go AWD. Full boost launch would be epic!
I was just in the process of changing the LPFP before I left.

Maybe they have changed the RS4 valve to something larger or maybe it can handle 150bar I don't know but they are running 150bar.
Maybe its a valve from the 2.0TSI as that is able to run 150bar standard
-
it is to do with how much they flow, I think they crack also.
Would be good to find out.
-
Alex (vRSAlex) should be able to tell us i think.
-
You can buy 145 and 155 bar fprv's too. The RS4 valve has a 136bar return pressure, but that doesn't mean you can't run higher fuel rail pressures, it just means that it is harder to maintain the pressure from the low pressure side. :smiley:

R-Tech seem to be the ones who are pushing the boundaries of the K04 at the moment. Havent seen them post in a bit though. Id like to know if it makes the gains on a K04 or if its only GTX28 and ihgher turbos which yield the benefits?
-
that is interesting to know :drinking
Nick was using my car as the guinea pig lol... im in NZ now so he needs someone new.
-
Hi all,
I have been offered a real good job in OZ so might be working there for 2 years :confused: ( would like a TTrs when I get home)
So I am thinking of selling my car for 10k pm if your interested. (engine has only done 16k - 34k on the clock)
I am sure you could break It and get more money but im on the other side of the world.
Cheers

cheers

Still one of my favourite build threads this :notworthy:
Well worth a read from start to finish. No one has pushed a K04 this far since :sad1:
-

I've got him on Facebook, I'll drop him a message to look at his BT :happy2:

Does niki recommend this though? When the average joe comes in with similar spec he doesnt push the turbo that far on a regular basis and send them home kickin the ass out of a k04.. From what i recall the owner was was just testing the limits?
-
Nah it really isn't recommended, it will probably shorten the life of the turbo (although I'm no expert here). It's a really peaky curve for the power and all that power comes in quite early in the rev range. A K04 hybrid would give a much better curve.
I've been a passenger in this car and it really is MENTAL :laugh:
James wanted all out crazy power, and that is exactly what he got. Niki spent 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel getting this right on the dyno.
At JKM dyno day it made more power than a BT setup and nearly pulled itself out of the dyno :scared:
Niki wouldn't send any average joe with this level of power, unless they understood what they were letting themselves in for (like James) it's a real specialist setup.
Would love to see what Niki could do with yours Pikey :drool: his new VVT mapping would help to spool that turbo earlier for starters :notworthy:

Might be better of asking @J14RKL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10575) as he's the one who owns this now.

James has sold this to James Arkell - he's on TFSI Tuning FB group. I remember the clutch pedal was pretty heavy :laugh:
-
Only just seen this.
Yes i now own this car.
Clutch is very heavy but you get used to it. It has managed to break 4 sachs master cylinders and 2 FTE Masters. Also one fluid damper thingy....
I have changed to a 1 piece braided line to help with it.

That's the issue i cant be arsed with :( Ive ordered the one piece pipe mod
-
Both James and myself use the older Helix cover. The clutch in Dan's Leon was loads lighter and smoother than mine.
-
Ah forgot about the fancy new covers!
-
how is this going on?
by engine is bwa too and i'd like to have k04 of 380bhp
currently i am using apr k04 tune
