Pretty good gains with the plenum and 360tb then!! I need to get mine on the RR to find out what mine is since I've got her running properly

Need to sort out the air intake though as in struggling for air once you get into the upper reaches of the rev band :lol:

 

:thumbs: feels asthmatic in parts of the rev band. If you get your 'air in' sorted, I reccon your car will be considerably faster than most others.

 

just with installing cf2's and airfilter mods, you don't need the remap, correct?
I read that you did, squadra allways tells that changes on exhaust or intake do not need remap.

It is needed to start utilizing the advantages of the TB.
Or am I missing a point?

 

Probably get away with just intake and catback. But cf2 manifolds and equal length downpipes would greatly benefit from a remap. Really good results with the 360 tb may have to look into later.

 

I have cf2's, 360tb, equal length downpipes and havn't had it remapped. Neither did Silvervalver for a long time.. the ecu does adapt very well in most cases. I think silvervalver had 274bhp and then after remap all they could get was 277bhp? I could probably unlock a little bit more performance with a proper map, but it runs very well as it is.

 

Impressive gains :thumbs:

Love the fact that you have quoted 'wbhp' and not a calculated figure

 

Well, the calculated figure is just that, calculated based of the actual measurement at the wheels. Could be useful for pub talks though

 

Bacon, what's your intake setup as I remember you saying you've got carbon plenum and big TB, you using a CDA? And could you take a pic or two how it's fitted etc please

 

yes, exactly that

Selcuk carbon plenum, 430Tb, sillicone elbow, chrome pipe and CDA with cold air feed

Interesting stuff!

Btw which Ferrari throttle bodies fit? Just the 360 one? Or does the like of the 430 fit too?

Cheers.

 

As Fewleh mentioned, the 430tb requires a new intake pipe as the standard one won't fit over it, a new plenum too as it is wasted on the standard plenum and also a remap.

You'd be looking at around 1.5k at least to have it running spot on

 

the 360 just plugs right in and oem air intake will even fit over it (just about!).

the 430 is obviously bigger and someone else can tell you more about it, but think you need to get an intake hose that fits over it.. I think maybe the size means you more likely to need a remap and stuff to get it running right..? but someone with 430 can confirm this

 

Cool, there is a pair of 430 bodies for sale on eBay - £400.

How much are we talking to buy parts and have all the work done to achieve that 240whp? Roughly £2k?

 

I am going to be running something just a little bit different, Hope to have good hp an torque gains.

78mm TB vs 76mm for the F360 one


Subscribing here just to keep in the loop

 

Nice one Scociu, that really is a special motor you have there. Add all the interior mods/retrimming work, and the re-trimmed seats, and it's a total package that most can only aspire to. Hat's off to you for continuing to do more and more to the car.

Two things really stick in mind from when I saw your car, how free it revved, and odd but true, the smells from an exhaust system free of cats - fantastic!

 

Hi from Spain, I finished my 156 GTA Evoluzione, the car has this mods:

Plenum ACT + TB Ferrari 360 + equal lenght pipes + exhaust manifolds Alfa GTV V6 + exhaust supersprint + anti roll bar eibach + coilovers BC Racing + OZ superturismo 18" + front and rear strut brace + front ram air.

the results before remap was 241 CV and after 274,05 CV. I´m happy with the result.

Very good results, how about some pics of the car

 

I have a few pics, only of the engine, I have to do more pictures of the car because I painted a month ago and I havent pictures yet.

I don´t know because the pics are small

Here is a power increases against mods post from another thread.



You'd be looking at 14 bhp gain for addition of a carbon plenum, a Ferrari 360 throttle body, removal of crankcase ventilation and a remap. That lot would be north of £1000.

I'm taking notes!

 

Hi,
any pictures about the crankcase ventilation removal system ???

is it just a filter at the end of the hose or a catch tank ???

thanks !

 

I have cf2 manifold , down pipes and before remap was 250bhp and after remap 276bhp

 

mine was
"240hp" stock, before CF2 and EQ pipes,

After CF2 and EQL Pipes,
264hp, 320Nm... on stock software, and is running rich after 6000rpm


No remap until after the rest of the hardware goes in.

 

Yes I have pictures about crankcase ventilation removal system, I put more later, it´s a catch tank with breather to the air.

 

What does removing the ventilation and oil vapour system do for you? Surely it ends up with metered air being lost?

Does't that affect the engine management at least a bit?

Hi It´s a bit difficult to explain to me in English, but I´ll try it, I put a T in both engine exhaust outlets with a pcv valve as like the original system but instead of return the vapours to the engine, they goes to a catch tank with air breather .
The system is the same as the original but the oil vapors used not return to engine, In the engine, the air intake aspirate clean air and the oil gases going to the exhaust and the rest to catch tank and the atmosphere.
I´ll post pictures for explain.

 

Its not the most accurate thread for it but this is what I'm personally exploring.

except with a oil catch tank inbetween before it goes back into the intake pipe at the same location.

 

This is what we have bought with Gotcha from this UK manufacturer - Home | Rutland Motors. And how it looks properly installed by Gotcha you can see on the first picture. I had to remove mine as had some disturbing whistling noise going out of pipes and did not have time to fix yet.

The second picture is a 3.0 V6 I have bought from a 166. Notice that this engines were fitted with an OEM catch tank out of factory with a line entering back to the engine at the back of the block - could be seen on the third picture just next to the exhaust manifold port.
