What have you gotten away with?

[Toby]

turned out to be sm fmicd, remapped 1.8t!

Side mounted front mounted intercooler?
What?

Could be like this, in front of a wheel:




Edit: Mark got there first... Again

'sm' is a typo, shoulda be 'an'. Autocomplete/correct does some weird things. hock:

No thats like mine

As said it was a typo!

This is a clear case of Phil.I.Am failing again

Should see the civic dervs, sidemounted in the wheel arch facing backwards

[Toms306]

Just to clear this up...the 1.8t had a f*cking massive FRONT MOUNT and I have a slightly large SIDE MOUNT. lol

[Toms306]

How can it face backwards?? There isnt a front or back...air will flow through it either way. :?

I've not seen a civic derv myself, but I know some Jap cars have them so the fins face ... outwards. If that makes sense. So air has to be ducted round to go through them...

As in the air gets to it, actually through the wheel arch, not from the front of the bumper

Fyc! Its toms auto correct failing
My point is valid. What is a side mounted front mounted ic? Cant be mounted at the side and front unless it like bends round the front to the side

You wasn't struggling to keep up with a modified 1.8t? You really do talk crap don't you.

New civics have a 2.2 derv lump

Fyc, I was referring to myself not having seen their intercooler design.

Edit:

It's okay, the 1.8t had a MASSIVE intercooler. It's turbo probably wasn't even fully spooled

EditEdit:

f*cking massive FRONT MOUNT

[Matty]

MASSIVE INTERCOOLER = HUGE LAG.

Important expression to remember that.

They are as standard, thats why they need modding.

You know mines not actually standard right?

[4WayDiablo]

Even still your derv vs a remapped fmic'd 1.8t. Id have my money on the 1.8t
Iirc just with a remap see 160ish bhp and fmic remap over 200?
Curt will know more

they remap to 220ish without much effort from what my mates have had

His 1.8t was the 150 model, the fmic and map have made it up to around 190ish.

You have to note that I have more torques though. And now a slipping clutch due to too many torques.

[Matty]

Actually, they have reached more than 200 with that kind of setup. Been seen and done. Though at that point the k03 is at its limits apparently.

[Curt]

It depends what age, what engine, what turbo, what map... We could be here all day.

Intercooler will not make more power, as has been discussed many times. But will help sustain it when it gets hot... 1.8T's have a side mount, which unless you've got a KO3S/KO4 and mapped to suit is perfectly fine.

I'm running KO3 with a Revo map, enclosed filter, Forge diverter valve, 3" decat, straight through centre and sportex rear box. The map alone is 190, so I'd hope to be around 200, but yes the KO3 is on the limit.

You may have epic torquez in your tractor, but if you look at the torque figure on a mapped 1.8T you may be surprised. But I would say, there's something wrong with his 20VT if you kept up with it.

Aaaanyway, enough of that I feel

[n0v0s]

There was a 1.8t golf on the mway i had a go with when i had my rung out t2 on. Was the 150 model. Kept up no problem. Then my t2 melted.

[Jake]

Mates golf is on standard turbo and am intercooler and is easily over 180 bhp, no chance you would have kept up with a stage 2 1.8T

Topic: What have you gotten away with?

Answer: Racing a 80yr old in a 1.8t and keep up.

True story that.
