Re: fiesta st170 turbo
now running 1.7bar and it feels SOOOO much stronger spinning the wheels all the way through 4th gear tho somthing its never done EVER..... , only on my t1r's not the 888s but it used to grip half way through 3rd on them @1.4bar.
the engine is loving it and with every few lb's of boost it goes lean letting me know its making more power.not bad for a home build /mapped car

Have you done any more mapping yet mate? What sort of boost will your turbo run out of puff at?
Have you thought about getting a set off different cams to see how much benifit you can get out of them?

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
car all mapped just need to swap the gearbox next weekend when i ran at central day this year boost was peaking 1.5bar holding 1.33 with a terminal of 123mph now its peaking 1.81 holding 178 so 128mph terminal would nice
also fitted a shift light just for when im at the pod
i cant run any more boost without putting more pre load on the actuator but that will increase my low boost of 1.1bar and i want that for getting it off the line nice in 1st and 2nd gear
also on the the dada log loading it up in 4th gear from 4k to 7200 took 4.1sec's holding 1.8bar and holding 1.5bar it took 5.4sec's so deffo more powerfull
