Since I've been 'running-in' the G-charger, I only recently started to put the pedal to the metal..
I really haven't got a clue yet, and the 'feel' is so different from any (non)-turbo-petrol/diesel car, I've driven, so I can't really tell what it compares with.
Stating this doesn't mean it's a really unique feel; I just don't know what it feels like since I haven't driven that many different (powerfull) cars
I did stick to the boot of a 1.3 liter (petrol) polo on motorcycle carbs, where the owner (Serge) thinks it should produce about 70-75 BHP... The Audi A4 20v 1.8 (Marcel86c) behind us couldn't keep up..
2 major things need to be solved though:
- Oil temp is going up at any speed above 100 km/h. It stays in the 'okay' area ( 110 degrees C) as long as I don't go over 100 km/h (for more than about 2 minutes).
It goes over 120 / 130 degrees as soon as I keep it above 105 km/h for longer
then 2 minutes. Have got a big oilcooler, which I will setup in front of the radiator. Brackets have to be made though, and a termostat/tubing is missing to.
- fuel: it's still on the very lean side. Will have to modify the fuelpump, but I've been calculating what pouly I can use to: running a 75mm stock pouly on the charger now, but when fitting a 65mm (don't panic) pouly, it will run just as fast as a stock-petrol G-40; A diesel engine will only do 5500 rpm max, where the petrol version goes up to a whopping 6300 rpm (to 6500 rpm) until the revlimiter kicks in.
It's now doing 0.5 bar at idle, 0.6(to 0.7) at about 2000+ rpm. When I fit a pouly to spin it at normal speeds, it might even go up abit... Not dramatically I guess ( I read somewhere a G40 will only produce about 1 bar as a absolute max. ) Anyway: there will only be a bigger airflow surplus... and I didn't even modify the fuelpump far enough to compensate for the switch from atmos to charged.
Minor things I did fix:
- horn
- pressure gauge
- 100% Veggiepower
Minor things I'm working on:
- budget for a VDO EGT gauge
- centre console to house all dials.
