Hurdy's Golf .:R.

[Hurdy]

I asked Niki at R-Tech if he could let me know my whp result and he was good enough to post the graph on Facebook. Peak whp was 346whp.

Nice numbers John!

My S3 makes 353bhp / 400lb/ft on Nick's rollers (tuned by him) at 2+ level.

[flatout]

watched this on the rollers and was quite suprised how much smoke this belted out on full chat,you not worried bout that john?.didnt just seem like black smoke either.(fuel).sounded nice though.

[H17YD_L]

Mine chucks out a bit of smoke, could it have been ticking over for a bit of time before getting on the rollers?

[H17YD_L]

Actually I jsut noticed it has the PCV fix on it. I was told by Nick that this causes the car to smoke a lot more than with the PCV on or a catch can that can flow well

[flatout]

mmmm mine has the pcv fix and not smoke at all other than slight black at rev limit??..i was talking to someone else at the meet and he said same so not just me.dont think im pulling your car down dude just an observation..

My APR Stage2+ V3.1 smokes a little sometimes

Might be something to do with the different turbo??

By the sounds of what flatout is saying its a bit more than a little if he and somebody else noticed it?

[flatout]

thing is it wasnt just a bit,slight black is acceptable but this was excess in my opinion,just wondered what johns thoughts on this was.i wasnt the only one to comment so know it wasnt just me,maybe some fueling issue or the fact its drove quite hard judging on the way he left r-tech lol.

yes it is a combination of running the higher boost on the controller along with the decat, PCV and the WMI which makes it run rich, hence the smoke. On the road there is only smoke when it has been ticking over a while and then booting it.

Its worth it tho!

John I thought you ran leaner for more power when using W/M...

Keeping everything safe rather than tuning for power with the WMI.

I'm considering WMI you have this kit don't you?

Did you fit it yourself or get stallers to? Where did you put the activation sensor and where do you inject? I have the BSH/Revo throttle pipe so there are 2 ports I could use there? Or is there somewhere better?

Sorry for all the questions, but I know your the man for meth :)

Statllers did the install, but if you have the time and skill it isn't a hard kit to fit, just takes time.

The boost tap for the toggle switch was done off the end of the intake manifold where the cap off is for my PCV blank and I have a Revo boost tap at that point to plumb into.
The toggle switch is easily accessible in the small glovebox just below the right hand side of the steering column on my R.
I inject on the lower of the two ports in my BSH throttle pipe. The lower one is better as it passes the sensor to detect the cooling given by the evaporation of the spray and gives it time to mix thoroughly before going into the manifold.

Some people recommend having the throttle spacer and inject at that point, but I don't believe that you'd get as good a mixture and hence less benefit.
