caldina gtt on 18 psi

[avinesh]

come on guys just leave him to it, he will find out the results shortly

yea i told him already that it will damage his engine but hey its his car why the hell pik on me im just asking a question he asked me to post up.....

[fivebob]

mate dont u understand english i have clearly stated that i have told him thats a bit risky then why the hell are uy saying im beyond help may be ur the kind that gets excited gettin other people all winded up

Au contraire, I’m an erudite sesquipedalin of the English language, but it seems you cannot fathom the need for being pedantic about the nature of the quandaries caused by running copious amounts of above atmospheric pressure into an engine of the ilk to which you refer. Your previous dissertations simply prove that you have not understood the point, and are past the realms of reason on the subjective matter at hand.

Translation… u picked the wrong man 2 dis bro

BTW with comments like "his been driving it for a while now (a week) but no problem so far but its bloody fast..... way quicker then before..... " you don't seem to be in the "it'll blow up" camp so why don't you get him to contribute to the thread himself and we can stop dissing you

diss me all u want wont affect me lol as i said i did tell him it will damage his engine (this proves im not beyond help, it dont matter any way as u dont matter in my life in any way) an yup it does go faster then before duhhh

[RomanV]

Fivebob doesnt matter in your life?

You are obviously a noob.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY FIVEBOB!

HAIL!

HAIL!


But on a more serious note, perhaps quitting while you're behind is a good idea? No good things can come from Arguing with Fivebob about Caldinas, except perhaps some amusement for the rest of us.

[StuartM]

LOL
boost up, kilometers down.

may be ur the kind that gets excited gettin other people all winded up

You mean you didn't notice that? :/

diss me all u want wont affect me lol

Then who are you gonna scab rides off when his car blows up?

lol thats funny ..... im gona catch the bus lol

[Inane]

his been driving it for a while now (a week) but no problem so far but its bloody fast..... way quicker then before.....

Gee a whole week, that's certainly plenty of time to determine it's safe (not)

How many full on 1/4 mile runs has he done it that time? Or is it all traffic light to traffic light stuff?

Like I said before mid 14's is all you can expect from a tiptronic, hardly worth blowing an engine for now is it?
[quote]

I disagree... Im Expecting to get mid 13's from mine next time I put it down the strip, its currently pulling sub 5s 0-100...

however I could also come back with egg on my face....



Avinesh, point 1: tell your mate to go down to a spray paint or chemical supplies place and buy some toluene, failing that he needs to buy some av-gas.

however Av-gas is illegal to use on the road. Toluene is not.

my completely amatuer advice with no qualification behind it, aside from research on the net and getting advice from people that know more than I do, is to run 1 part toluene to 3 parts 98 octane petrol.

this is no garuntee that your mate isnt going to blow his Caldina to pieces, but it will certainly prolong its life span.

if you mate really wants to go fast then he should boost it up to 23.5 psi.

but his engine wont last long without doing A hell of a lot more work to it.

otherwise he should invest in a decent boost controller that doesnt spike to 18 psi.


honestly at 18 psi, with no other mods, on pump gas I think five bob was being generous at a mid 14, as you will detonate in every gear especially when you hit around 5000 to 5500 rpm.

but if you remove the detonation then all the figures I have seen show that a low to flat fourteen should be possible, with all the seats removed, along with the rear boot linings and compartments,

leave the tower bar in.

I've managed to knock my caldina down about 200kgs doing all that, and then only having a minimal amount of fuel in it, (say ten litres)

then tell your mate to lose between 10 and 15 kgs

(its better to lose 15kgs than to gain 15hp)


------------------------------------------------------------

but to summarise,

you mate will have a very quick car, not the fastest, but fast enough.
my caldina can lose traction when you put the foot down,
but unless he gets serious and spends the money something will blow up.

well thats my large post for the day.


-Disclaimer-
dont take anything i say seriously, at any time should my opinion or advice contradict with fivebobs opinion or advice on anything relating to caldina gtts then it must be assumed that I am playing the Devils advocate,
I reserve the right to change my opionion if not out right contradict myself at any time.

you'd better get that looked at - my st185 which did a 13.1 (and was capable of quicker) would only break traction in the dry when boost came on in first - sounds like your viscous coupling is stuffed, or did the tiptronic ones not have viscous couplings?

[fivebob]

I think the problem is that tiptronic ones don't have a LSD, they rely on VSC to give them the traction, which IIRC Inane has disabled.

haha, goodbye 1.7s 60' times!

[:madaz:]

do you know what i hate about forums? im referring to the very regular posters, the sit-on-there-arse -and-try-makeout-cool sorta fagots that arnt brave enough to show there 'talent and genious' face as they make out on here to anyone but other unaware faceless people who use the forums. These dikheads are meant to be leaders of a forum, influencial and helping, directive and confidence boosting to others who are less fortunate to know the ins and outs of vehicles. But instead what we see is a load of cyber-egos getting a class-a workout, dissing people, of all things, about there SPELLING? are you fuken serious guys? If you lot havnt anything better to do than type out a post giving someone stick about there spelling then what can we expect? In the real world would you trust a kid telling you how to install fit a headgasket? install a clutch? troubleshoot countless other problems? i for one wouldnt, and thats the sorta service thats presenting itself out of this article -immature, ego boosting bulshit from inconfident grown ups. what a joke. Im very greatful for the help ive recieved from other more mature posters on this forum, but when i see rubbish like that posted it makes me really wonder what goes on behind the scenes, or moreso the screens.

i notice the more mature posters seem to stay clear when topics start going a bit out of hand like this, and may only interevene at the end. So to the cyber -egos out there, grow up and start showing some innitiative on the forums, know when enough is enough and just let whats be, be.

Hi guys, its my caldina that is in controversy.I use a Hybrid Full Electronic Boost Controller.It comes with an external boost solenoid and an electronic boost pressure sensor as well.My low boost is set at 0.5bar and high at 1.0bar,however when I turn on my overboost switch my gauge spikes to 1.4 but than settles for around 1.2 bar.Let me know why this happens and how dangerous/safe it is please. The whole controller and the electronic boost sensor can be viewed at the following

[Chickenman]

Just don't use "overboost".


Without making sure your fueling is alright (dyno time etc) you are going to hurt your car, simple truth.

Either, turn the boost down or, get some help with making it safer to run.

I can't see why 14.7 psi (1 bar) isn't reasonably safe though, it's just the overboost that sounds really dodgy and potentially explosive.
You shouldn't need it on the street anyway and you can fill up with Avgas at the drags... (may hurt your o2 sensor..?)

A user's spelling and grammar usually shows his/hers intelligence on online forums such as these. Therefore they get stick when sounding like little teenage cockmuffins trying to be kool in their fast cars.

Most the people that has posted any info above and even those that's been giving stick are not just Technological Ego Maniacs. They are actually the people who's been there and done that. Most if not all of them being more than willing to help people out whether it be in person or not.

Do not speak of that which you do not know.

Get over yourself...

Nice grammar there

[DRFTIN]

having used my mums old triptronic GT-T in the drags before i'd say it will be lucky to reach the 14's unless you do the rev limit and shove it in gear technique mentioned above
the auto is just crap off the line
