206
Post #1
Hi guys,thought it might be an interesting project to present.
206 GTI Turbo, EW10J4 - 478BHP. That was the injector limit at the time of mapping, so i didn't want to bother with replacing them, so i left it there. But since the engine has way more potential, and there have been a couple of slightly more powerful 206s around since then, decided to crank the boost up a bit and use E85, which should make around 550BHP.
Started out as a basic tuning project, and gradually turned into a monster
Had so little experience as i started out, learned so much, mostly through my own mistakes - and trust me, there is not a SINGLE thing can happen that has NOT happened with this car, went through it all (list of failures is as long as the list of things i got right): broken pistons, failed gaskets, failed gearboxes, driveshafts, diffs, blown and leaking turbos, engine heads...everything you can think of. Miraclously everything works now, got so many interesting features and unique solutions on the car that it's almost too much to think of everything.Somebody mentioned there's another ITB+turbo car here, i'd love to hear about that, as it's a rare thing.
I'll follow up with a list of mods...hope i won't bore you with a long read
Some things have changed, some are still to change, but i'll correct from time to time.A couple of pics - some of them are with an old GT28 turbo, and from previous "evolutions" but generally that's that.
Questions welcome.
