Hi new to the site and just purchased a uk300 #204, just thought id post and see if anyone could help me with info on the car, the lad i brought it off didnt know much about it (who mapped it etc) but the owner before was from the birmingham area so hoping he may be on here, done a search on the plate but it seems to have been used on a few other uk300s as it L 30D uk

anyway hope to speak to and meet some of you soon

 

done a bit of research on here and managed to find out i still have the standard td04 turbo, theres also nothing on the ecu to suggest its been remapped so im not convinced it has like i was told, there is however an apexi avc-r which is set up to adjust boost to 1.5 bar, would someone of brought this for a otherwise standard car? is their any point? is it safe to use at 1.5 bar? sorry for all the questions my knowledge is limited and i feel i may have been told a few porkys, other than that im happy with the car i just would like to know where i stand and what ive got!

thanks

 

Welcome to west mids we also have a Facebook page

 

id get a mapper to have a look at it m8 wont hurt least u will know if its running rite but uk 300 i thought come with vf35 not td04 u wont get 300 out of a td04 if you give pole position a ring andreww carr is going down there next tuesday a good mapper get him to give it a check over

 

thanks ill add it on facebook, its deffo a td04, there not 300bhp are they? im working next tue but will deffo have to get it looked at i think

 

Are the td04 ball bearing turbos or sleeve bearing? As iv got a uk300 and it seems to spin for a bit after which makes me think it's ball bearing?

 

The td04 turbo is a sleeve bearing.

I would suggest that if you have an avcr in there that it hasnt seen a mapper as I can't think of one decent mapper on here that would have recommended fitting it to your car. 1.5 bar of boost is too much and especially too much if unmapped. I would switch the unit off so that it runs wastegate pressure until you can get a mapper to look at it.

I am up at RCM in Hinckley next thursday if you wanted a health check on the rollers there...

 

thanks for the advice, ive already got it booked in next thursday, nervous to see what ive brought now
