Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

I was out in the RS3 yesterday for a quick run out to McDonald's :D and on the way back drove down a nice quiet and freshly laid tarmac national speed limit road.  Obviously this was no drag strip official timing or did I have my Dragy in toe, but it was rude not to have a quick blat and I thought I...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

So, after picking the car up on the Monday I was invited (like on the day of the event) to attend Mission Motorsports inaugural "Launch Control" event on the following Saturday. When I say "on the day" I mean I was out in the car already on Saturday morning and got a text to go over, so I immediatel...

650 on stock injectors??
Yep... stock injectors. Only change on the fuel system has been the latest LOBA 12.1mm HPFP.

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

For the moment this is where my RS3 8V.1 will be. 654bhp on the GTX3582 GEN2, on 99oct fuel and sub 1.5bar of boost at peak power. We are now all out of fuelling capacity but at a safe level on stock DI (it did make 675bhp but turned down slightly for safety on the fuelling side). This project has f...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

So.... LOBA HPFP fuel pump has been fitted and the car was put back on the dyno Wednesday evening for a quick sanity check. I think we can say fuelling is back and what a difference it has made! Just a sneak peak at some interesting info so far. 622bhp at the current rev limit of just under 7400rpm....

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

This setup is definitely fighting me at every opportunity! We’ve now fitted the GTX3582R GEN2 and VIS HPFP wouldn’t play ball. Fuel pressure was dropping to 105-110bar so didn’t allow us to use anymore than 1.3bar boost. LPFP and injectors were fine via logs and it appears to be the VIS HPFP. The pu...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

Went over to Litchos yesterday to see the car and personally fire her up! I haven’t done that for a while! They have a small snagging list to sort over the next couple of weeks and then the intention is for me to use the car and get some feedback to Iain before it goes back again. They’ll then pull ...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

Nice work. What are you hoping for power wise when it hits the rollers? Hard to say..... like most things in this game, it will do what it will do. Still plenty more things to do tbh as this is just a step (albeit quite significant) to where the car needs to be to reach it's full potential. At the ...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

What a 12 months this has been..... I’ll be glad when 2018 is out of the window! What with changes in project direction, lead-times on custom parts and some quite life changing personal challenges, 2018 has been quite a rollercoaster. Anyway..... let’s get down to business! So, I had previously allu...

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

I know things have been a bit quiet on this thread with updates, but offline many things have been progressed.

I’m hopeful that I’ll be in a position to provide a BIG update very soon. The car is undergoing a substantial round of mods.

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time

Quick update..... Unfortunately the car hasn't had any real dyno time over the past few weeks, but further progress has been made during the very limited dyno time available. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170909/a38344b10d532df26d345d9dc2ca6ba3.jpg As you can see the car is now over 500bhp with...
