1 BAR! Is it worth it?
- Thread starter hmmm
- Start date
There's been a couple of posts recently on this subject;
Option1: Just stick a bleed valve on it
Option2: Get a boost controller, loads of choice, loads of opinion's, just get the one you like the look of.
Might need a fuel pump for either of the above (ive never bothered
)
A rolling road setup might be a good idea (never bothered with that either :? )
Problem's: Clutch wont last as long, and may not last at all, obviously more wear and tear on all components.
Is it worth it?: Yes, defo, feels like a different car, pulls much harder

I think its definately worth it, The power would be around 270 - 280hp, Clutch may start to go so budget for a new one.
For me upgrade to 1 bar has been the best so far

a few negatives on the clutch there, i've been running a bar for a few months(probably 3) and it feels good. gearbox is ok as well so im not worried yet.
treat the clutch & box well and it should last longer.....

whack it up to a bar and its a totally different car
ill tell ya the truth about the clutch
i was told by a*member* of this forum, who no longer owns an R to turn the bleed valve a '1/4 of a turn'. the car was fast as fook :shock: and it was unbelievable difference. i then proceeded to drive arond like this for 3 months, and i cane my car everywhere :shock: this is on a std box, clutch and internals i may add. got round to fitting an autometer boost guage and found i was running 1.3 BAR :shock:
and my clutch is totally fine :? the car doesnt miss a beat :shock:
work that one out

don't bother running 1 bar
persoanlly up the boost only if your going over 1 bar
otherwise keep standard boost advance your timing to 25-30 degrees, run no less than 98 octane fuel and you will be roughly the same pace as cars that run 1 bar
just keeps more reliability in the car because its not pushing more boost.
if you then decide to wind up the boost retard the timing back to 20 degrees other wise you will have a few problems.

this aint the first time you' ve asked this question is it? seem to remember answering before. if not then i apologise. get a new fuel pump defiately, spark plugs will need to be uprated or regapped if your too tight. bleed valve or ebc? you pays your money you takes your choice. iv heard some good things about the dawes device, iv got an ebc so cant comment. then get it set up properly. breather might need modifying too.plenty of posts about 1bar operation. do a search or twohmmm said:
:roll: you will find that sticking some smaller/lighter wheels on will help too if your street cred can handel it :lol:
