And the main reason for tuning the 138 engine is because that's what was already in the car!

Yes, of course. I didn't say that the engine is rubish, just that the 180 is a much better option to start with, and not all tuners know how to tune vvt (most think it is just an on/off thing, like with 2.2 16v).

Edward, did you solve the peaky nature of the engine?

It should be as good as it can get - apart from a compression increase, a N/A engine will always appear relatively gutless compared to my daily driver with 236lb ft of torque at low revs!

With this spec cams:http://www.pipercams.co.uk/pipercams/www/product.php?pid=GTI2BP285
I would suspect a broader torque curve and much less peaky nature of the engine. May I suggest someone to look at cam timing? I've seen this before, when cam timing was off.
You still have that good looking Longman's plenum over itbs?

The 180 does have bigger valves but with that comes VVT which makes life more difficult with choosing cams and to take full advantage you need a more expensive ECU which has variable cam timing control rather than the 'on/off ' control that the Omex 600 has.

ok well yea that makes sense, I'm pretty good with cars but I'm quite new to the newer peugot engines. Cheers for the advice guys, looks like I've got a fair bit of reading to get through lol Cool

Yep. Didn't want to fit new tyres if the car wasn't going to be used as they just age....so now that the weather is looking better I'm going to get it used.

£14 spent the other day. I noticed ages ago that one wheel was slightly difficult to turn by hard. The caliper was sticking slightly but the sliders were free to move when the caliper was removed. As soon as the slider bolts were tight it stuck again.
So I ordered some new sliders from Brakes International for £14. Problem fixed!

 


The old sliders did have some polished marks on them so that could suggest they weren't 100% straight. Who knows.
