Tuning Grande T-Jet fitted with abarth turbo

[Stelios]

Hello to everyone! I would like to say some things to all t-jet guys thinking of doing this swap.First of all the price we did the swap (vl 36) was very low (using a new turbo,not used---approx. 700 pounds with the remap which was neccesary) and thought it was a very good value for money. Well the numbers we saw were less than we expected ( 170 hp @crank) and this is because we dont have the same cams with the Abarth.The car comparing it to my T-Jet (remapped,catback) rolling side by side with 2nd gear from 3.000 rpm was slightly ahead till mid 3rd gear and ALL the difference was in 4th gear.My friends T-jet just dissapeared there ( 5 car lenghts till 190 kmh). All i can say now is that the car is side by side with a Corsa OPC (192ps) till 200 kmh. Impressive,huh?

Nice! Just make sure you buy an intercooler!! And also to give you an extra smile your top speed now will be around 148 miles!!

This is a video with a street race of this T-Jet. It is in the right lane and in the left lane is an Astra GTC 1,6 turbo (185 ps this one,1245 kilos) .I'm behind them! (T-Jet 150 ps).All of us starting side by side rolling from a 2nd gear! Under the bridge that ends the video we are doing approx. 115 miles.

Enjoy!

So you have been able to remap a normal Tjet with the Abarth turbo?

It shouldn't be a problem. We have done it on Nick's car last year.

Have you had to much weed or alcohol? Do not bring any national or racial issue into this forum!

Good job! Do you have a dyno chart of the car?

I thought you said it put the car into limp mode?

 

[IainG GPS]

No its working fine, I think its showing 168 bhp

That's what I thought too. And it's the only reason I haven't installed my abarth turbo yet.

No, it prevented us making further rr runs. Some ECUs do that. We had to take the car off the rollers and drive it, but run out of time to put it back. After a short drive it burst into life.
