A few folk have heard about my plans for the A3.
I bought a JBS 04 turbo and stage 3 kit from JBSautodesigns in the UK. Being an agent for Custom Code software, who are co-located with JBS. I planned to use it to showcase the products and hopefully generate some business for myself at the same time.
I had a front mount intercooler and 3 inch turbo back exhaust made in 2006 by a local firm. aseturbo. They did a sweet job.
It has been a long process and I had the turbo for well over a year before it got anywhere near the car. Other parts in the kit included an ATP manifold (tough to fit that monkey!!!!), S3 injectors, MAF housing, 4BAR FPR, S3 fuel pump, TT airbox lid. Obviously, an ECU upgrade was required too.
In the middle of last year the clutch died so I fitted a ABF flywheel and VR6 clutch kit. Thanks to Matt for the FW.
The manifold and turbo went on over Christmas and I ran it with the std 150hp/1110KW software in the ECU. It immediately felt nippier as Robin will testify.
I had couple of issues getting the MAF sorted and then the injectors were shorter than the std ones. Not one to give in easily, I 'engineered' my way around all those little problems.
Today I finally loaded the software and drove it.
The boost comes in pretty quick and had my boost gauge off the clock!!!!
It is pinking a fair bit and I can see it pulling a lot of timing. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be doing some data logging, to send back to the UK. Where the guys at CC HQ will refine the code and send it back to me to load. I can do further logging to check the results.
I'll add some photos when I get some time. As I am always under pressure to get things done, I didn't take as many as I might have.
Have a great weekend.
A few links with CC/JBS information in. For those who might be interested in their product lines.
