Max M4X WW :What intercooler u using babe?

I'm being boring and putting the 1.6 TDCi intercooler on hun. I'm not interested in getting silly with this engine at all. There is no IAT sensor that I've seen (I've just seen a pic of the 1.6 TDCi engine bay and there appears to be an IAT sensor present, post-intercooler), so fuelling won't be increased automatically by the ECU when it sees my intake temps drop by 40-50C, meaning I won't make the gains I "should", since this engine was never meant to be chargecooled.

All I can do is turn up the gain on my tuning box as high as possible without it cutting out to get as much fuel through it as possible to work with the cooler charge temps and increased boost pressure, since the air density will go up a vast amount with those two mods (I haven't calculated how much yet, but will). Combined with the air filter that I'm expecting tomorrow, I believe it'll crack the 90bhp mark, with over 160lbft to support it.

I know what you mean mate. I am thiking of putting a k&n in the metro just to improve the drivability a little. I know it wont do alot but i'v had the head skimmed so slightly higher compression and k&n together make a slight improvement :lol:

next is a rover 220 turbo unit

NOT!!!!

Thats cool love, just had no idea as thought the 1.4/1.6 was totally diferent!

by **edders** on Thu Jun 07, 2007 9:48 am

would it be at all possible to use the 1.6 management on the 1.4?

i only ask because you said you cant see an IAT sensor on the 1.4 but there is on the 1.6

by **heeman10** on Thu Jun 07, 2007 4:04 pm

Max - Yep, the 1.6 is completely different sweets.

edders - The 1.6 uses a VNT turbocharger, meaning its management is very different to the 1.4's. The 1.6 has a MAP sensor and an IAT sensor, neither of which are used on the 1.4.

That will more than likely be the post IC boost sensor, mate. I'd be very surprised if yours doesn't have an IAT sensor.

George - This is the pic I'm referring to:

I believe those to be IAT and MAP sensors of sorts. My engine only has a MAF sensor, not IAT sensor anywhere that I have seen, since it has no intercooler and so MAF sensor values alone are pretty much all it uses.

Oops

I wasn't too far off when I created this pic last year! :lol:

by **heeman10** on Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:08 pm

Well, a lot's changed since then Mike!

Not! :lol:

Picked up 5m of 2" aluminium tube today to make some boost pipes up...need a load of hoses etc first though.

by **mike_wall15** on Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:11 pm

Just bodge a few empty toothpaste tubes togther, you don't want that much boost anyway!

by **XRMike** on Thu Jun 21, 2007 8:47 pm

heeman10 :Oops

Its still got the dead flies on the front from last years photoshop Mike done :rolleyes:

by **heeman10** on Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:47 pm

Not now, it's just had a wash

by **sleeky** on Thu Jun 21, 2007 11:30 pm

Can't beat standard cars eh :wink:

by **heeman10** on Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:28 am

You knows it Leeroy

by **black2** on Fri Jun 22, 2007 1:11 pm

This is quite a good little car you have going on here.

What power does the 1.4 TDCI make?

Gareth.

by **tompeteRS** on Sat Jun 23, 2007 10:26 pm

I'd reckon his got about 92BHP there and at least 200nm of torque!

by **Raymondo** on Fri Jun 29, 2007 10:14 pm

fudgekin hell, thers a lot going on here now. Nice to see some improvements though

My mum has the 136ps TDCi focus and thats a bit of an animal to be fair, the torque when the turbo spools up make it really easy to spin up the fronts :bonkers:

by **heeman10** on Fri Jun 29, 2007 10:28 pm

Definitely. I test drove one of those before I bought this, and dismissed it because it was "too powerful", as I was after something boring and slow! Haha! :lol:

Haven't fitted the intercooler yet, and probably won't until my big move is over, but I plan to remap it with the intercooler on

by **niracka** on Fri Jun 29, 2007 10:48 pm

Can't wait too see it sat next to the ZT both with front mounts on.

Is this fiesta destined for another one of your deisel to petty turbo conversions???

ollie

PS. Oh, have you got power director working yet?????

by **heeman10** on Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:08 am

I'll use this one for diesel developments in the early days for a bit, posssibly going as far as fitting a bigger TDCi, but I wouldn't mind doing the naughty YB business on it!

Haven't had any joy with Power Director, it didn't feel like working

by **Brammer** on Sat Jun 30, 2007 1:46 am

heeman10 :I wouldn't mind doing the naughty YB business on it!

Now that would be interesting, YB running gear can be easily sourced :devil:

Even standard could produce great figures
