DS3 THP Sport Chic Blanc Banquise / Noir Onyx

Small update again.
Have fitted some chrome indicator bulbs in the headlights.
Looks are much better now.

So, I've bin to the tuningcompany again today to see If my new ITG filter would make any difference in performance.
First I need to say that the guy who tested the DS3 last time picked the wrong figures. The big boss was there today and showed me the correct figures.

Last time the power output was:
165,5 Hp @ 4711 rpm
295 nm @ 2522 rpm

New figures with the ITG filter are:
170,9 hp @ 4778 rpm
307 nm @ 2377 rpm

So, there is an increase in performance, even with some slight higher temperatures outside (last time it was 20 degrees and now 24 degrees) :cool:
Will post de graph by monday, when I can make a scan at my work.

What you can see in the graph is that the standard Intercooler is too small in higher rpm's.
Also you can see that the ECU is constantly trying to keep the boost at the same level.

[Fabian]

Herewith the graph:

Blue is the one with the ITG filter, pink the one from the one without ITG

[THP]

Same colour combo as me. I've got Osram Diadem indicator bulbs which are blue; either way, much better than the orange!

Might have to look at getting a new filter.

Might have to look at getting a new filter.

Do It !

So, had some good weather yesterday, so could do some mod's on the DS3

Ordered an R logo via John, and placed it. :cool:
Also have fitted my 6000k Xenon.

Pictures:




Will take some pictures from the Xenon this evening!

Quick question, Does the UK DS3 come with the glass hammer aswell or is that some kind of law in Netherlands that you must carry one in car?

[Fabian]

For the Netherlands every new car must have one inside.
Don't know if this is the same in the UK

[HarroDS3]

For the Netherlands every new car must have one inside.
Don't know if this is the same in the UK

Thanks

Probably not for UK, we get screwed over big time.

Least from your first pics, you get the same crappy weather as us

[Fabian]

And herewith two pictures from my LED citylights and the Xenon. (Again with some bad weather)

This is with the normal LED lights and the PIAA LED city lights. When it's dark it's better to see.


And the Xenon together with the PIAA LED Lights

Sweet!

Excellent posts Fabian, keep them coming, by the way what type of bulbs are you using in your dip beams.

[Fabian]

Hi Graham,
Sorry, but my technical English is not that good. :confused:
What do you mean with the Dipped beams? Think the dipped beams are the lights which are on when you have yor light on "Auto"?

The high beam is still normal. In my dipped beams I now have Pilot H7 6000k Xenon.
The other "city" lights are PIAA W5W LED's

[Graham225]

Fabian, your correct with your assumption Dipped (auto) thanks for your reply, have you installed a HID conversion kit, or upgraded the bulbs ?

I suspect you have installed a conversion kit. Did you self install if so how easy was the process.

Looks very cool.

Graham

[Fabian]

Yes correct, It's an Xenon (HID) conversion kit.
Very easy to fit. Think about 1 hour if you want to do it nice!
