stef's 205 gti6 supercharged

[Stef205]

Car still going, better than ever if im honest. Over the years ive moved the car with the times. Ditched alot of old junk and slowly made the car abit more "serious like"

One major improvement was the change of the ecu, We ditched the omex mainly as the car just out grew it. We decided to go with a Maxx ecu race, having seen these in action at a friends place and having hands on with the tuning software and seeing its capabilities i was sold on it.
We advanced to fully sequential ignition and fueling, drive by wire throttle, staged methanol injection, engine protection features like oil pressure, temp, battery pretty much every protection its there. Wireless switching for various things via a tablet which also displays data removing the need for gauges. I wired the ecu on its own fresh wiring circuit thanks to a maxx ecu fuse box which is wired straight to the battery and we also removed any unneeded wires within the car. In short term the ecu can do anything we need.

Engine has pretty much remained the same but with the ability to control it abit finer now, we added methanol injection to control air temps when on track and to prevent any knock despite a good knock control table. We also gave it the "party pulley" I still stand by that i was pressured into fitting it. With that we fitted some new bosch 550cc injectors. Power wise it made 309whp on a very harsh dyno dynamics but ive neither worried about figures to speak. It drives, its safe, good enough.

Heater box was ditched for one of those track heaters as the oem heater never delivered heat to the screen despite many repair attempts.

Cage was updated to a safety device cage with a few more bars, with the car getting quicker it made sense. Powder coated in the mandatory red.

Brake system is currently going through a major overhaul, still running the nissan skyline calipers up front and gti6 rears we managed to set fire to them at combe one day With that ive decided to bin it all, I didnt want to suffer again or experience brake loss at 140mph+ towards avon rise. As most will know im not one for buying stuff off the shelf so i made some brackets and fitted some wilwood 4 pots to the rear, yes the rear with some modified 207 stub axles in the lathe and some spacers here and there and we now have a vented rear set up. Surprisingly not much weight gain and abut 3mm added track width - win in my eyes, Theyve also got some lovely handbrake levers built with in the caliper to please my mot man. Although it will be backed up by hydraulic.
Fronts im still awaiting to arrive but again probably ott but meh. I looked around for awhile and also drew some brackets but in the end decided on some ksport 6 pots and some btcc pads, i plan on doing some serious endos and skids at the local maccy d's so well worth it!
There was no question the servo had to be ditched especially to supply fluid to those calipers, a bias pedal box is now in the works.

Exhaust is something ive struggled with not only with noise but actually getting it to survive more than a few years. I ripped it all off and made a new system 3" downpipe which traverses into a 2.5 system with a long repackable silencer in the middle feeding a big 8"x24" round rear repackable silencer with a out come of a respectable 92db

Since most of this ive really actually enjoyed driving it and has made it drivable again, i secretly fell out of love with it for some time but managed to find the love again, in the summer days its a real hard choice which to drive 205 or evo even climbing over scaffolding.
On a serious note i do owe alot of credit to Stephen at p v engineering, even after supplying the ecu, sensors etc the after care support was amazing, always had time to explain and guide me where needed. After supplying him with his jaffer jakes for the year he mapped it with minimal issues even with a broke leg!

Photos i havent uploaded to anywhere since the downfall of photobucket and my tightness of willing to pay for it
Although i do upload most stuff to instagram so if you want to bore your self photos can be seen there @stef205
