Fabia 1.9TDi PD100

Right I haven't posted for a while on here, so I'll put up a spec list of my car.

My car is a '52' Fabia PD100 and I owned it since June 2009 and since then I have done the following:

Exterior:
Fabia Sport Roof Spoiler
16'' OZ Superturismo GT in silver
Philips Silvervision Indicators
Polo Rear Area Wiper

Interior:
JVC KD-601 Head Unit
Blaupunkt Rear Speakers
Alpine 1780 Front Speakers

Engine:
PD160 Intake
Shark Performance Stage 1 Remap (RR @ 150bhp and 235lb/ft)

Handling:
Eibach Lowering Springs

hello mate long time no see

nice spec list, hows it going with the car??

thanks

Jason

It's going well, loving the remap.

Next plan (if I have enough money) will be a Golf VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel to handle to extra power

I'm still running standard clutch and flywheel on mine and it's spot on ask Jay it's dealing with the 400nm of torque i ram through daily

nice to see you active again mate, and unless yor going serious power why you planning vr6 clutch and flywheels?? like mitch says his seems to do ok the few times i have seen it lol

I Think its because the PD100 clutch is no where near as beefy. Danny had hirg done at 130bhp because it killed the clutch at 150

At 150bhp I'm on/or above the limit as I'm starting to get clutch slip when floored, doesn't happen all the time buts its there

150bhp is good from a stock pd100 turbo

How much was the remap ?

£300 from Shark Performance, I would recomend them if your looking for a remap

Thanks I will look into them as i need a good custom map sorting out may need a new clutch too depending if I can push my stock injectors to there 170bhp limit

If your looking for 170bhp, I would also look into changing the flywheel as well. Also I believe 150bhp is close to the limit of the stock injectors as my car goes into limp mode at 3500rpm in 5th, which goes away when I switch the engine off and back on again

The total maximum for pd100 injectors is 170bhp but if you can get that out of them or not is a different story like you said , and yeah looks like a clutch and flywheel jobbie

Just to give you an idea of how quick my car is with the remap check out the members performance figures section

The car will have to go in the garage when I get back from a weeks rest in Wales as I have either a worn passenger side drive shaft or a worn wheel bearing on the passenger side.
I'm going for drive shaft as if I remove the map (via the STS) the noise is quiter at 30mph than with the map on

Ahhh if only there wasn't any down sides to cars

You got any pics of the car pal ? Interested in seeing it

Not on here, but theres a pic on briskoda.net as I'm a member on there. It's in the Fabia I section, click on the thread 'Alloy Wheels Archive' and I believe its on page 15/16

Just paid £130 for a new wheel bearing

Nice a bit steep have you sorted your rear bottom arm inner bushers out they have been modified and now don't wear out as quick fitted a few at work on them and Polo's

The £130 was fitted (non-OE part - lack of funds for OE) and I haven't touched the rear bushes

Bit of bad news on the car front as the bloody vanes on the turbo have started to stick and throwing the car into limp mode at 3.5k revs in 5th (going to give this 10k booster a try in an attempt to free the vanes up).

So when I have the funds, I will either fit a turbo from an PD115 (believe this would be a straight swap without changing bits), PD130 with the relevant bits or sell the car and get a PD140 Mk5 Golf

I've just got myself a pd 150 turbo waving bye bye to the 130 LOL

I'm undecided on which one to go for.

PD115 turbo, mapped to suit - ~155bhp and ~245lb/ft
PD130 turbo and injectors, mapped to suit - ~160bhp and ~250lb/ft with current clutch and flywheel, ~175bhp and ~270lb/ft with VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel

Depends on how long you see yourself keeping the car really

If I change the turbo, another 2 years - regardless which turbo I go for

Turbo will be getting replaced with another PD100 turbo due to insurance reasons
