  • Johann changed the title to 2012 C30 T5M/Warning!-Fiat content!!

Made a modded RN branch pipe for the X1/9 - the stock one came way too close to the headers & contributed to cooling system issues. small elbow return hose got very crispy.

Waiting for parts to take care of the blown HG

waay too much timing

7A71C740-60B0-4506-A11D-A2647BF8D2D3_zps

Max timing for that motor with Fiat ignition 30º from 3500 - up:

Screen%20Shot%202016-09-23%20at%209.49.2 

I'll use a EZK116 219 (B230FT man) ign map & pull some more timing off that. Shame I can't use M4.4, that would be so much easier than dealing with LH2.4....

Yeah, K16, Posi, etc., all have to wait until the X1/9 is done.... :)

I thought installed the k16 and most of the goodies that you got a while ago. So what are you running on the now?

Still The K04 / Elevate tune. All the other secondary support stuff (bigger IC, airbox, piping, etc) is in place. I had originally planned to do the K16 this past spring, but that didn't work out with the Fiat being undriveable. Until I have the Fiat available as my DD, the K16/WaveTrac install is on hold.

Is that Elevate tune stage 2 tune and DP but still stock muffler. I see you have all the larger intercooler piping, ported intake runners installed. What about the 70mm throttle, are you running that too? Did you notice any hit in torque? I've heard the intake manifold you loose a bit of torque, they were referring to the Anembo, which seems a lot bigger.

I want to make mine just a bit better but don't want to loose any of the torque. I keep thinking about a stage1 and exhaust, maybe a DP but don't want to loose MPG. I did see a slight drop since I installed Kristians turbo inlet, but that could be I'm harder on it that I was before. :a-farmboy:

BTW what torque mount are you running? I've got the factory upgrade with the R but I'm considering the E-Focus or harder Powerflex insert. But I hear with the AW55 softer is less vibration.

It's the Elevate tune for all the K04 mods - 3" exhaust, 3"DP, race cat, manifold, ported runners, IC, etc. I added the cutout before the stock muffler so I can be fully quiet or anywhere from there to wide open.

No torque drop with the tune & his plenum. Torque drop if I run the cutout wide open at low/mid rpms. These twinky little turbos need some back pressure it seems. I do have the 70mm TB. Makes the tip in a tad twitchy. I have the E-Focus mount. Don't want drivetrain vibration in the cabin.

I'm really happy with the way it handles & takes off with the Elevate tune. I don't pay too much attention to mileage as I do mostly local driving - 15 miles one way. I get much better mileage when we do the 2-3 hour trips or greater distances. Either way, it's a veritable miser compared to the XR ;) I do have the 18" wheels with 235/40x18's so that does have some negative impact on mileage, but the handling is great.

Got a bit done today on the rear panels

top seams are pretty close now - hard to photograph in just primer

have to fill in the rear panel vertical seams, resolve some tie in details from the 1/4's into the rear panel, tail lamp surrounds, etc

Are you going to keep it red?

Yes, but Passion Red 612 rather than the current Bertone variant of 601 Red.

Back end mostly done now

EDIT _ WTF has happened with the site now???? PB img links don't work, and the advanced edit function is gone...
