All Things Mk5 > Revo Zone

First logs on s3 stage 2+

<< < (2/4) > >>

vRS Carl:
Different things happen at different settings on different cars.

I can run B9T7F6 but get timing pull across all 4 cylinders of around 3.8.

My car is now on B7T5F9 and runs far better and pulls far harder over a wider RPM band.

The only way your going to be able to up the timing now is to get a better cooler to keep temps lower.

You will find in winter you can prob run timing 6 or 7 due to the cold weather and the intake air temp being a lot lower.

Personally I would just stick at the settings you are on now :happy2:

Did some more logs this morning. After looking at the results and how the car feels ive set it to B9 T5 F7. The car hits 1.5-1.6 boost for quite a while and i have 0 pull on any cylinders and all the results are within the limits.
Feels like a rocket! :laugh:
 Basically i cant increase my timing above 5 unless i get an intercooler or wait till winter! Any recommend any intercoolers? :grin: Heard good things about pro alloy, any other suggestions?

Carl, I will be going Stage 2+ at the end of the month (on Ed30 not S3) with Milly TBE, Dbilas and Autotech, but OEM IC (this is going to have to stay). The car is not going to be under hard acceleration for long periods of time though (ie no track days etc)
Would you recommend I run a fairly low Timing/boost setting without a uprated FMIC?

Janner_Sy:
yes lower timing and potentially lower boost trhan what a guy with an uprated IC would have.  when mine was stage 2+ i never had the IC, so ran those lower to ensure the engine would stay safe.  however the plan was to really advance the timing once an uprated IC and wate meth was installed to take advantage of the lower IATs

I can't really say what timing level would be safe. You would have to log the car. Just because the op got a lot of timing pull on his car doesn't mean you will and also you may not be able to run timing as high either.

Every car reacts differently but the general rule of thumb is you won't be able to have high timing without an updated intercooler or water meth kit.

The best advice I can give you is start off low on boost and timing ( B7 T4 ) and then gradually increase one level at a time until you can't go any further. If your unsure log the car and pm me I'll give you my email and I'll have a look at them for you.

Carl
