Default Advice on current setup

Hi guys

I had some work done the other day before the remap and put it on the dyno after everything had been mapped it ran 364Bhp and 360 Ft Lb torque at 1.4 Bar

As it stands i have a turbo back decat system with Nur spec, walbro fuel pump, APS cold air feed induction kit and Ecutek map on an STi Bugeye

I'm just seeking some advice on what i should also be running i.e is a fuel pressure regulator recommened? boost controller etc

I'm pretty much up to what i know now so happy to take any advice about a finer mods.

I'm not to fussed about upping the figures just want to keep things in line and running right

Thanks
Ben

Figures seem overly optimistic TBH, what were the wheel figures?

That's what it has run not what's expected Dyno to prove. Also was carried out at a reputable garage.

On previous Dyno it done way better than expected with only a couple of decat's.

Hi Brockett,

those are superb results for so little mods.

The std. ecu can't cope with much more boost, so an add-on boost controller is needed, JGM pointed this out to me a couple of weeks ago. This means a re-map is needed, or at least a session setting said boost controller.

By adding an FPR your injectors will be fine up to around 440 bhp-ish at 3.5 bar static. Mine needed an FMIC and headers to get those figures, so you must have a good 'un.

HTH

P.S. Mine (Defi) peaked at 1.6 bar, but they aren't all that accurate, compared to the oem pressure sensor.

Cheers mate

as said in the past it has done well with little mods. Was just as suprised as the guys at the garage and yeah seems like a good'un. The mapping of the boost controller is fine as it's got the license so just labour time.

Couple of questions Dunx What exactly does the boost controller do. Obviously control's boost and could you recommened any? is there a common one in the market that gets used etc

Also what exactly does the FPR do. Yeah i have been thinking about headers and a FMIC. Wasn't to set on getting the Bhp right up there but would be a shame to let such a good engine not get up in the 4's

Hello again

Apexi AVCR is a fav. on here.

Harvey's ported OEM headers may be a good choice if you stick with the VF 35... ?

FMIC, not necessary till passing 400 bhp is the common concensus of opinion.

FPR - allows 0.5 bar higher baseline fuel pressure, so about = to 15% more flow capacity.

HTH

P.S. Would be interesting to see what she could max out at on the std turbo !

Thanks Dunx

Aware of the AVCR and glad that's what's recommeneded heard nothing but good things.

Would have to look into the headers like i said this is all new territory to me. As for the VF 35 i'm guessing that's whats in there haven't had a good look at what model it is.

Regarding the FMIC are there any that are a no no. I know of a couple that have had mixed reviews.

And could you advise a FPR?

Agree would be good to see what would max the Std turbo out
