Stage IV (final stage for my SS-Four), Update: July 24th. Options

[malpaso]

One year after "Great SS-Four rebuild" (http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=78088) was finished I left my car in my mechanic's hands again to start fourth and final stage of my car's build. Goal has two parts:

a) check everything on the car after 12 months
b) just slightly push car higher in terms of power (+20%)

When I have my car back I plan just add some "unnecessary weight" and DONE! All finished.

It has begun!
What I can share now with is just the most important - new parts ready to install

Bigger injectors...



Bigger - custom build/modified - turbine (enlarged housing, enlarged wastegate, polishing, etc...)







stay tuned...

As some of you already know my car is back home because at last dyno was available this month... So the good news!



It was pretty hard because ambient temperature was 50°C (122°F) and took whole 8 hrs... Unfortunately despite superb job of Wolf_tm I have not climbed over 400HP as wished. That temperature was really killing... also idea to not use high octane fuel reached its limits (what was my fault because I did not wanted to be "slave" of only one fuel seller in my country cuz only Shell in CZ has and will have in the future high octane racing fuel for sale). So plan is in two months pass one more tuning (when ambient temperature is lower and with bit better fuel) and we will see what we will see . There are no mechanical limits to get there. Just tropic temperature and crappy fuel were only limits to get what I expected .

Still no need to be sad at all because:
- today is car mapped and ready to handle the worst fuel I can even imagine and will running safe for ever (even under crazy weather conditions) = what is more than everything.
- below 3800RPMs is car like little rumbling peaceful lamb () that takes 7.9 liter per 100kms (29.8 miles/gallon !!!). What is crazy...
- above 3800RPMs car turns to a beast... its huge change! When you hit 3800 it pushes you to the seat and continues up to red-line! When pushing the car to the limits it takes 13.1 liter per 100kms (18 miles/gallon) that was in fact also average consumption of my old 7AFTE . So in terms of this I'm double happy.

So overall impression is great and I'm happy having it back even as is because it is already different car that was four months ago. Thanks Wolf!
