the stock engine will happily take 1.2 bar safely.
i would recommend having 2x boost modes, 1 bar should be your daily thrash, and 1.2 should be when your in a develish mood.
i'm not sure what yellow injectors are but guess they are 380 or 440cc injectors? i cant remember what stock were 280cc rings a bell though (probably well wrong)
i live in essex, i went to redline tuning first who made a right hash of the map, car didn't run or drive well at all. I then went to Abbey Motorsport they improved it, but it wasn't right, there were 2 problems with this, the day i mapped it it was -2 degrees in the booth, i had an oil hose let go on the oil pressure switch (i didn't know this until later when i drove it down the road) which i was disappointed with as they didnt say this until i drove it back to them. i was kind of indifferent about the service.
i intended to go to FC Tuner for the final map and to get it sorted once and for all, but i lost interest and fancied something else which never happened but thats another story.
Atspeed Racing in rayleigh, essex were good, they mapped my original hybrid setup using the safc and sitc, this was genuinely my best ever tune, they done such a good job, especially with the engine popping the gasket on the dyno. It drove so well. unfortunately when i went forged they
didn't know the APEXI software, they would have done it but wanted me to pay them £80 per hour for them to learn the software (on my car) which is by all accounts difficult compared to other software suites and £80 per hour to carry out the final tune on the car (that was 8 years ago). They advised a minimum of 8 hours at the time.
Awesome. I was doing a search around for TD04 users in the UK on stock internals running over a 1 bat and came across this dude:
LIke you said , he had no issue whatsoever after remap and the car ran really strong...although he was running the slightly smaller tf035 @ 1.2 bar. He said as the td04 is slightly bigger, I would probably be able to make 240bhp at 1.1 bar instead?
As my ecu is standalone, I was going to connect my oem hi/lo boost button back up, to run gate pressure on low boost then hi boost as 1.1/1.2 bar.
I may see if i can get my hands on a ebc in the meantime though.
The yellow injectors I have, are RX8 ones. They're rated to 420cc if I remember correctly.
Thats annoying that the 2 tuners you took the car too didn't do a good enough Job. Its always a gamble entrusting others to do work on your car, but when it comes to tuning/mapping its not something most feel comfortable doing themselves.
80 quid an hour for 8 hours, to learn the software is pretty ludacris man :-o
Up here in the North West, many swear by Tuning Developments. Although they remapped my engine builders Glanza, I've come across a number of horror stories, about them.
Luckily, Goldenvtr and a couple of my Honda buddies, recommended a tuner they use with an awesome rep, who does't cost the earth.
He seemed like a really genuine, passionate and down to earth guy when I spoke to him, which speaks volumes these days.
I'll hopefully get her booked in after lock down
