hope u get ur yoke sorted but for arguments sake if u wanted a big shiny Intake plenum chamber and Throttle body id have brand new sitting at home for ya with the short runner design for big power ;)

I hope so too! Will be hard to see where I'm driving er with all the egg on my face lol :homer:

Now your talking my language :) send me some pics and info if you could lad.

WOW, this thread has turned in to a full on debate lol All i wanted to know was how much of a difference to expect when upping the boost to around 1.5bar or so. In an earlier post at the start of the thread i did mention that i was not concerned about figures but more concerned about how it goes on the road. I also said i would be HOPING for 290 which i don't think is outside its capabilities.

@phil- chris is taking the water meth with the car as its not setup yet although it would be something i'll consider after i up the boost a bit. I would deffo favour it over upgrading to a td05 as i'm a big fan of the responsiveness/power of the td04. Also you mentioned about needing good fuel, i'm guessing super unleaded will do the job at that kinda boost? Would never even consider running it on normal.

On that particular engine, I'd think Super will require alot of timing to be pulled for it to run 1.5bar, possibly so much that would make it pointless. The water/meth injection would help with the det though.

My own engine although mapped to 1.8bar on super, seems to run alot better at 1.4bar due to the amount of timing required to be retarded for 1.8bar.

ur not grasping logic at all mate
if u insist on thinking a td04L will run 300bhp please show me proof of a td04L running 300bhp on a 4E starlet i wanna see Dyno graph and torque figures and none of this u can run Race fuel this that the other its about keeping inlet Temps down!! bla bla
Just answer me one question what does a Turbo do when it reaches its choke line as it were to say???

you wanna see this an you wanna see that, youre boring me now:homer:
you come across as the man who knows everything, how could we possibly know any better? maybe the reason you dont believe is that you failed to do it so that means its not possible. suppose its not possible to run 12s on a td04 at 1.5 either, eh?

The car now belongs to me, hence the reason why I put up the thread.

@spuddy- do u really think it I'd be pointless setting it up at that boost if that much timing has to be taken out?

Reason I ask is that I'm buying injectors this week and hoping to get it mapped asap and wouldn't have the funds just now to buy the water meth as well but it is on the cards as I know it would work wonders on the setup.

you could go for 1.2 bar , im sure youre not at the limit yet. you need injectors tho for any more.

Yea that's true. We'll just see what chris can safely get out of it when I have it up to him. He should know the cars limits pretty well :)

Aye Chris will know the score, I'm only guessing. You will get more power at 1.5 even with timing pulled, I only really meant if you had an injection kit or different fuel you would benifit alot more.

here we go lad
ur gonna start with cylinder pressures now are we??
High compression will run more power with less Boost but lets face it lad what are we talking about when we say high Compression??
What have u measured to obtain the Engine Compression????
What calculation have u applied to obtain this???
await ur response

cheers

regards

what im talking about is 225whp@1bar td04 on sul.

as for the calcs for again you can ask chris if you want to pm him instead of me :haha: but then since you sound like you know what your talking about im sure you dont need to read any formulas from textbooks or internet sites. :confused:

since you seem to spend alot of time awaiting responses maybe you could scratch your oh so wise balls abit harder and give us some of this evidence you must have somewhere that 300hp is impossible on a td04.

im pretty sure spuddy could knock it out of his motor on a td04, and im sure a smaller cc bike engine could knock out 300hp on a td04. so it would seem that 300 and td04 isnt impossible at all if you use the right engine?! wait a second have we came full circle??? you mean the engine does matter? holy smokes go figure.
:haha::haha:

but in spuddy somewhat more colourful language :kiss:me no care?

i dont see the big secret here!! go get the figures(300bhp+ on your td04) and times on the strip then brag untill then its just a td04 forged starlet..no big deal.if it was "all that" am sure it wouldnt be on its 3rd owner in the space of 2 months or so..no offence to the new owner am sure its a good car but all this talk just fucks it up for you.:)

haha this car was owned by me and then chris the car has been around jays chris and marks place for years. its a super wee car. at the moment the engine has produced the highest hp on a td04 @1bar ive ever heard of,

in relation to the new owner(who by the way is local aswell and actually bought chris' last gt that he sold aswell) he made this thread to get details/feedback about what to expect from turning the boost up to 1.4/5bar. now considering the car already makes the power that your average td04 forged starlet @1.4bar makes then he has every right to wonder whats going to happen :haha:

personally ive no idea what you run madmangt. im sure its something exceptional, heck for all i know you know me and i dont know you. incase you've no idea who i am, i drive a tdci fiesta so you can imagine that i really dont care what you think lol but either way whatever your problem is, its lost on me, ive no notion who you are cause i think your username was on here before sean got banned for some reason?

Peace out. lol

I agree with Chris, i dont give away info on my own findings.
No point in doing all the leg work to go and spoon feed someone else it for them to reap the rewards.

Im sure Chris and Co will soon show if it can be done or not.

My own TD04 starlet is great, proven it passes 330hp Starlets on track ;)

Yea it really is pretty funny. It's gone from how will the car go on the road when I up the boost, to no way will this car make 300hp on a td04 blah blah blah. As mentioned I'm not chasing figures but if it makes good power i'll be happy. Time will tell though.
