Dum-Dums Stage 2 HDi Estate Project

[Dum-Dum]

October 2011 (still)

Ive been out playing with the performance monitor on the scan guage. Only managed to equal my current best 0-60 at 6.6s. 30-70 in 3rd is also 6.6s

1/4 mile (1324ft) was 15.2s @ 91mph BUT I fluffed the start and first gear change meaning my 0-60 was shown as 7 seconds so you can take 0.4s off the time and then take some more for being on a road and not a sticky drag strip so it might be close to equalling my personal best with the old HDi.
That run went on to 19.8s for 0-100mph.

The timings do seem to be showing that it could definately do with the next map that has more top end power as past 85mph/3000rpm it starts to die off quickly. Hopefully theres more to come.

She Passed her MOT!!


Straight out the box, only 2 advisorys (both of which i knew i was going to get) £54.85 thank you very much. Might have to have a few celebratory beers tonight.

She got 0.89 on the smoke test but it says on the sheet the limit is 1.5, I always thought the limit was 3. Have they tested it as a non turbo or something or am I being silly.

And Ive now also been able to pay for my years road tax, another £130. It really has been an expensive month. Im off to Kris' now to get the latest map uploaded.

---------------------------------------------

Last night i got my BHP on the scanguage up to 143bhp in 3rd gear, today Ive made myself a mid box back box and got up to 151bhp and the clutch slip is back. I think I must be right at the limit of what the Valeo can hold.






Basically just another HDi midsection, shortened at the back with the angle grinder and drilled for some threaded bar to make the hangers.

The soot that came out of it when I first put my foot down was pretty epic, rear side exit FTW.

Been on the dyno this morning and seen that the car is only making 17.5psi, not the 20psi my guage is showing so its possibly a little down on power. The figures are 134bhp ATW and calculated back

Got some photos from the other day Ive been meaning to upload, and a few from the dyno (ill put a video up on youtube later) and some photos from the drive home as I let my best mate give it a good 15 mile test drive.
