Twingo Adey's Twingo GT (F4R+T 2.0ltr engine swap)

Not really had much time to do anything or much to do on this really. Replaced the oil cap as mine has been broken forever, found the correct part numbered item on ebay so got that. I was gifted a stack of bits that included a decent sized air filter which looks tidy, it's from a mk7 golf but was easily made to fit the twingo. Looks a little neater in there now vs my dirty s2000 item. I have a green dot actuator on the way and hopefully a new exhaust which all being well I will get before mapping which is booked for the 2nd. The exhaust is a 2.5inch system which will replace my home made 2.5 mid section and 2.25 back box. Won't make much difference I don't think as its only really increasing the bore of the last foot and a half of my current setup. Plan is to get Scoff to try and get as close to 300bhp as it will do but without it letting go.... Big ask so keep your fingers crossed for me 🤞🏻

Right in for mapping at EFI tomorrow at 12.30, I really want to scrape the 300bhp mark without blowing up just to willy wave.

So what are your guesses?

Setup is the same as before but with a proper flow through fuel rail and a 19T hybrid turbo....

Long old day, but not as long as they used to be for me. Anyway I set off in the morning ready to a nice gentle drive up to see Chris at EFI Parts. All was going well until I was making some choo choo noises joining the m5, suddenly I had no boost at all :eek: A look in the mirror saw no smoke and there were no nasty noises so I drove on to the next services to investigate. Nothing major, a quick look around saw the actuator arm had jumped off the flapper, It was way to hot to sort there so I decided to do the next 100miles with no boost. It wasn't too bad, like driving a bigger engine Twingo still so I was able to cruise nicely all be it with a lot less acceleration and a lot more drone from the exhaust. With the gasses bypassing the turbo it got very loud, I think my ears are still ringing now.....

Arrived at EFI parts a little early, had a chat with Chris whilst the engine cooled off and then fixed the actuator back on, we also added a bit of wire to make sure it didn't happen again whilst mapping. Chris started doing his magic as usual and the car started making big numbers straight off the bat. The turbo seems to be pretty decent and at one point the car was making north of 310bhp just after 5500rpm! Anyway with it being a totally stock engine we reigned it back in to make the targeted 300/300 (299.4lbft 302bhp on the final graph) which in some instances is a big push for these engines.

WOW its a totally different beast again! the drive home was brisk lol. Its faster yes but nicer to drive also, the delivery of this setup pulls right to the redline with ease where as with the original turbo would punch and deliver a little harder to start with but start to die off above 5k and you would feel you were stretching things if trying to pass 6k. This now just flows and pulls so nicely. Would be mad to see how it would go with yet more torque and HP. This car has bags under the curve now and weighing so little its now effectively 300bhp per ton. That puts it up there with a lot of nice machinery. I WILL have to get some proper videos done :D
