Nice one as I am getting a power run or 2 done on the 3rd Feb which is 4 days from when it was calibrated.... Should be very accurate results then

 

you never know CC by that time i could have

upgraded the ecu with anti lag( thinking of gems)
ported the exhuast manifolds
upgraded the cams
bigger turbo
porsche brake kit
new internals

sam

 

And all I'll need is a Dawes !!

 

 

If your car is so fast Sam perhaps CC should have a headstart?

 

Well he won't want me starting behind him now !!

 

ouch, that was below the belt, but i will rise to the occasion.


but believe me you won't be saying that we i over take you. i am sure you will come up with some excuse, like my brakes were too hot, or i was at my slow down lap or something of that sort


sam

 

Or "I was just letting you un-lap yourself !!

 

You going to be running slicks Sam ?

 

funny guy me like it

no i won't unless you are off course it will be raining as usual, it is knockhill for god sake

sam

 

the only mod i will have will be a video camera, for incar footage

sam
alan G can i borrow your camera

sam

 

WOW didnt expect a big response to this thread, but looks like I'll have to spill the beans before Mr Banks has a coronary

Heres my plot-



and I'll tell you's later.....

PS its no 'laughing' matter :-)))

Dave

 

"Dr" Banks - good job cos I'm having that coronary R I G H T N O W !

Tell me what you've done pleeeese. I am being nice now. Put me out of my misery!

 

That's never a wee turbo like your's John ?

 

VF28 from an STI? you are just flowing too much air for that small turbo

 

Good result Dave You'd better tell John before he starts getting abusive

Any idea why the car was run to a higher rpm than on a rolling road day?

Looked out both my graphs, and peak rpm on both of them was when the graph cut off, around 5,800rpm, at which point in time power is still climbing (has always confused me why they stop it there, the red line is still miles away)

 

Robertio,

jim at Star shuts the run down when the power@wheels peaks and drops.

 

Dave,

U got em goin now m8

Roll on Feb the 24th an lets ave them cossies

Pete

 

Sam

You've been speaking to Pete

I've junked my td04, running big boost with it has taken its toll and it was starting to sound unhealthy.I'm running a VF28 from an sti model and pretty happy with the results.I tried it set at 1.5BAR and in the wet the wheelspin in 1st & 2nd was pretty scary, but at 1.3 it is more controlable.I prefer the slower spool up,it makes the acceleration feel smoother as well as quicker.I'm just having bother 'feeling' when its time to change up a gear, theres no drop off above 6000 and find myself hitting the rev limiter too often.A bit of practice at Crail will sort this

I am tempted by the NOS just for its charge cooling capabilities, but after my mates CRX blew a pipe off the bottle and filled the cabin with 10lb of gas, and froze his boot carpet, I'm a bit wary.BTW this is what we looked like when it happened

Theres plenty info on most of the VF range, but can anyone give me a link for specs. on the VF28??

Dave

 

Pete

Canny wait m8

Maybe sneak down there & get some practice in again, I'm sure Willie will want the regulars down for some test runs.

Looking forward to a wee drag against yours....recon we should be easy 12's this year

Roll on...

Dave

 

Dave ya cheatin sh1te thats no fair ,are you still running the standard ECU and is it the black AE800 that everyone is going on about.

 

Very nice Dave!

So will I now hold the dubious title as the Star TD04 king?

Is a new compressor wheel allowed or would I forfeit the title? I am really very tempted - it is only a little bit extra boost and a lot less heat and I keep the TMIC and ECU.

Can I ask where you sourced the VF28 and are you actually planning a FMIC?

If I got a new turbo would you fit it for me? How long does it take?

What sort of nick is your STi intercooler in and should I buy it off you if you get a FMIC?

John

We proudly name you the 'td04 king' and I'm sure a few mods to it wont invalidate your title

A turbo swap (providing all the nuts/studs come off) takes about 2 hours & I recommend an oil change at the same time.Just contact me for a booking.

I did an sti engine change a while ago, the second hand engine came complete with turbo.He had a new VF23 on his blown engine and wanted it swapped over, he kindly let me keep the 28...perks of the job

Afraid the intercooler is spoken for already, but sure Grade A will have one on the shelf.Spray it black & remove the stickers if you want it stealthy.We are looking into R & D of our own fmic kit using my car as the demostrator....more details soon.

Dave

 

John (T-UK)

I haven't actually looked to see what label is on my ECU, I'll have a look tomorrow... if I remember.

Are you coming to Crail on the 24th??


Dave

 

never spoke to pete mate

it is not that difficult to work out though, you work with subarus and the VF23 is the most readily available and that


http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/ and go to turbo data

you will find all you need to know about the vf23. basically don't raise the boost above 1.3bar-1.4bar as over that it just starts pushing hot air.

sam

 

Dave has a vf28.

so who else is going to Crail on the 24th?

will be worth it just to see Dave v Pete ,my moneys on Dave,everyone knows his UK car kicks WRX/STI ***

 

Hey, Can I join in on this one too ? There will be nae cuffin WRXs if I can help it Should have my RS 2.5 block fitted by then

 

2.5RS block!!!!!!!! i take every thing back

can't compete with that!
sam

 

Only kidding
