Title: lets start a sweepstake
Post by: Janner_Sy on December 10, 2009, 04:31:37 pm
right we all know what output RRs GTI puts out now. But what will his new output be with the twintake.

Ive found a few printouts of hsi current setup compliments of JKM.
240bhp, 290Ibft
242Bhp, 295Ibft

http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/Misc/Gallery/rollingroaddays/MK5%20GTI%2018%2003%2009/Dyno%20Graphs/RED.gif


I reckon 257bhp 305Ibft

anyone else

winner gets yesterday off :wink:

Seeing that his ecu will have to adapt, I think the numbers on the RR just after install are likely to be misleading.

IMO I dont think adaption wil matter. JKM will be able to adjust his boost, fueling and timing manually. which shold have an immediate effect whereas another map would need to have a laptop plugged in and tweaked.

bumped into robin as i was at jkm this avo having a few bits done - saw the twintake very nice  :happy2:

i believe Robin had before and after dyno's done to compare his carbonio with the twintake and there was some healthy gains to be seen

will have to wait until the RR Review  :drinking:

I don't think this will be the case. JKM are pretty good at taking out cars for logging runs after work - I'm sure that it'll be taken for a blast to allow the settings to adapt (it really doesn't take as long people seem to think...) and log some data to ensure everything is running as well possible. I'd not be suprised if they look whether the Revo settings need changing too.

And even if you had phoned me, 'Phil', I still wouldn't have told you.

I've just found this thread - Brilliant!  :drinking:

JKM know what they're doing and always strive very hard indeed to be as realistic as possible when using the dyno. We all know it's always tricky but I think we've got a realistic before and after comparison.

I'm sure there'll be 'technical' questions which I'll have to refer back to JKM but I'll try my best.

I'm loving the 'foam' jokes  :happy2:

Right! Big apologies guys.. Have just got off the phone (again) to Forge and JKM.. We're doing another dyno session next Wednesday..

The increase in bhp which we saw on the dyno yesterday is good - very good - but.. with the filters the wrong way around!

How did this happen? - The pdf installation instruction which the Forge guy in America produced is ambiguous and JKM's Jim interpreted it wrongly as it turns out but rightly in that cone filters are usually orientated so that the suction end is the smaller circumference and the delivery end is the larger circumference. One of the pics in Forge's pdf appeared to confirm Jim's view and will now be changed and the instructions made clear regarding this point.

Forge expect a small further increase in the bhp and further improved curves when we correct the filter orientation. We shall see what happens on the day. I will include all the dyno plots in the review so that we can all share the differences.

I hope your gonna give forge a right slagging if the instructions weren't up to scratch like you did with BSH :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Post by: RedRobin on December 11, 2009, 06:23:22 pm

I hope your gonna give forge a right slagging if the instructions weren't up to scratch like you did with BSH :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


....Of course. I already have politely (as I normally do) made my opinion clear, they agree with me and are already taking steps to sort it.

Good companies, like Forge, take notice of customer feedback and then act as they think is in everyone's best interests. I hope you don't think I'm anti BSH - I'm just open in my criticisms and the rest is entirely up to them. People don't always agree with me anyway (and I can make mistakes too).

Cheers  :happy2:

So what were the gains??
Title: Re: lets start a sweepstake
Post by: RedRobin on December 11, 2009, 06:35:19 pm
....

You'll have to wait until after Wednesday. To publish them with the filters back-to-front would be misleading - Too many folks will just read the neddy number and ignore the context. It would muddy the waters.

It would be quite amusing if there are more neddies when back-to-front! The cart before the horse?

I'll go as far as saying that I think the ITG intake has a real competitor, but none of these dyno tests can be truly conclusive unless ALL done on the same car on the same day.

Title: Re: lets start a sweepstake
Post by: RedRobin on December 12, 2009, 11:03:06 am
RR
This is intresting....
I never read instructions... but there is an embossed arrow at one end of the filter body which I assumed is flow direction.
How have you interpreted this?


....Jim at JKM interpreted it opposite to myself and, though I didn't know it at the time, Forge's designers, but according to conventional orientation. I bowed to Jim's experience.

I decided to check it with Forge later and hence the mistake was discovered.

I agree with Forge's intention that the small arrow indicates suction when pointing inwards and delivery when pointing outwards but you could argue (as Jim did) the other way. We all agree it's ambiguous and Forge are revising their instructions accordingly.

To those with wrongly orientated filters:
Don't worry, no harm will be done but soft brush household vacuum (not high pressure air gun!) the filter before reinstalling correctly.

....JKM's fan is so loud that it was difficult to hear. Driving, it's not as loud or raucous as an EVOMS. I wonder if it'll sound different after the filters are turned around - It will also place the velocity cap at the delivery end as intended instead of the suction end.

You'll get the chance to hear it in real life sooner or later.

JonnyC of course fitted his the correct way around - Canny fellow.

Well you know, it IS possible that could be the case! It would then have everyone at Forge running around in circles.

By dyno-ing it again on Wednesday with 'wrong' orientation we'll establish a same day datum for any changes when the 'right' orientation is dyno'd immediately afterwards.

The logic, expectation, and word from Forge is that there should be a small bhp increase but also a further small improvement to the torque curve (which is good anyway as is). As JKM and myself are each independent and will tell it like it is, it will be an independent test.

Currently you might say that even in the worst case scenario with the filters 'cart-before-the-horse', the Twintake performs very well. 

I think Keith will be back at JKM next week too  :star:

according to REVO the MAF for a stage 2+ is 190-205. 249bhp without taking timing into consideration is ok tbh

ens car made 260bhp on JKMs yet only gets peak maf of 195g/s

....I'd have to ask JKM what my MAF readings were - Such info starts to go over my head. I just look at the curve shapes, where they plot, and the bhp and torque. Oh, and the AFR plot.

I'll try and post such info as MAF readings in my Twintake review.

....ITG, EVOMS, or TWINtake?

Or waiting to see more info and see actual ones?

SteveP will recommend the ITG, Hurdy the EVOMS, and myself the TWINtake but it's what you prefer. Ballpark of +20 bhp on K04 and torque benefits.
