Andy forrest question
Just like to say hi to everyone my question is I've got a subaru blobeye mapped by Andy forrest in the pasted it made 361 hp 350fb anyway do you think a restrictor pill would of been used if so what size because it has been removed cars just not boosting till around 4 rpm thx
|
put a 1mm mig welding tip in. does the job fine. why has it been removed though?
|
No need for restrictor pill if running an aftermarket 3 port bcs.
What mods and turbo you running? |

Usually the 2 port will keep the pill.
Are you hitting full boost at 4k? What's your max boost set at? |

Ok just take it easy and find a nice clear stretch,see if you can eyeball when you hit 1bar and when you hit max boost.

have you just bought this car or did you have it mapped?

ok so who told you the pill has been removed? the guy you bought it from? if so why was it removed as its needed to control boost on a 2 port boost solenoid (ie the orgional setup) unless you have an electronic boost controller fitted instead?

Have you done any mods after the remap?
You could be getting a boost spike but if you're not hitting boost cut at 1.8 then you could be running an aftermarket map sensor? If it's been mapped to 1.7 and you're hitting it at 3.5-4K then I'd say that's pretty good imo. If you are defiantly still running a 2 port bcs then at those boost levels you would see better control with a 3 port. Saying that I'm still running a 2 port and I've tweaked my wgdc to stop my overboost,I'm going to fit my 3 port tho when I get chance as it will give me more control up the rev range. |

so the car was mapped by andy f and made 360 on an 18g then later on the previous owner fitted a boost gauge and removed the vac pipe with the pill? if so id put a pill back in the t piece on the turbo nipple and see how it runs. if it doesnt run better or boost better (or worse) then just remove it again.

Nice one let us know how you get on :thumb:

Andy says the 2 bar map sensor is good for 1.55 bar without any probs

I've already had better results just by playing with the wgdc on the 2 port but hoping to hit full boost faster with a 3 :thumb: |
On the later classics no pill means no boost.

Personally I think a 3 port would be better especially at the top end of revs but I'm only speaking from what I've read and advice given,I run 1.65bar with no problems but will be fitting a 3 port,looking for better control and quicker spool.

tbh mate thats good numbers from an 18g -350ftib should make it quite nippy i reckon-as i recall mine came on boost about then too. td05 turbine is quite old school technology now.
best mod i did to aid spool was to port the standard headers- started making boost circa 2500rpm so helped with lowdown response with full boost around 38-4000 rpm. |
