Small Update
Recent compression test results:
1) 110
2)115
3)115
4)120
With the low comp motor, i just though sod it, lets stop fannying about...might aswell boost the shit out of it and make proper use of the potential with this low C.R.
Im now happily running the car at 18psi/1.2BAR
Ive also switched to a better sized intercooler, as the old one is just too big for my application.
OLD and NEW:
Trying to squeeze what i can from the setup i have, i felt i was wasting away response and top end power with such a big intercooler...making the turbo work harder than it needed to.
Another upside with the space created is better airflow/cooling to the radiator.
Ive contemplated fitting the standard cams back in, as i know these JWT's are killing my low down power/response with overlap and low dynamic compression, but the big trade off with fitting the stock cams will be loss of top end power.
Part of me wants the response and low down torque (which is great for an everyday road car), but another part of me doesnt want to loose the top end power for the sake of better driveability. So for now im keeping the S1 cams. Ive tried messing and advancing the intake cam gives me more low/midrange...but also causes reversion and compressor surge. Im currently settled on running a retarded intake cam and advanced exhaust to reduce overlap, but i like to pick up some more responce from somewhere.
Im never satisfied, so i'll keep tinkering...maybe i'll try the stock cams out and see how the butt dyno feels about it.
