Rory - any headwork pal?
so helpful as ever Rory. Tried to rep but need to spread some around first
Ive already bought the k24/k26 (Oops!) but its a rebuilt blitz turbo...pretty much brand new so hopefully be reliable! If it goes bang ill revert to TD04.
Ya, kind of been following what Chris has been saying about ECU's, hoping to get him to do the eventual map session. Thats good to know that you rate them too, now I've just got to ignore my credit card bill for a while!
Thats good news about headwork, maybe initially I won't do any then and see how competitive the car is, what do you think? I can always come back afterwards and add it I suppose.
Inlet mani - ok, great! You are savng me alot of money here pal
OK, to round up: Forged 4e, K24/K26 hybrid, no headwork, mapped on a Link G4 using race fuel. Do I need to focus any other attention around power gains and the like or will this setup be sufficient? Is there any tricks I could employ to reduce spool time or will that even be an issue?
Thanks so much for all the help
Edit: I would like to set a reduced rev limiter at 6800rpm can this be done on the link G4?
Out of curiosity, are you allowed to use race fuel, for whatever class you run in?
What hillclimbs will you be competing and up against what cars?
300 seems abit much if its tight twisty stuff.
As Rore has said a td04 is more than suited for the sprints across here, and some of them are quite tight.
The K24/26 should do well, if its nice and responsive.
Murray
No problem, i sprint myself so will help where i can
Ah ok i didnt realise you had bought the k24/k26, keep with that and see how you get on with it. if it doesnt suit what you need you could alwyas sell it.
Chris is a fine lad and will see you well if he maps it
If i were you id gety the turbo kit on (when it arrives) and get it mapped on whatever ECU you choose. Ignore the headwork and inlet manifolds and then concentrate on your chassis. If you think it handles well on the street, it usually means you will soon be finding the limitations of that setup fairly quickly.
Can you run race fuel in what ever hills you are doing?? Is it not MSA blue book specs?
As for little tricks, not really, you could always ask Chris t trry and get the lag down with the mapping.
Apart from that use REVS, so i would keep your standard rev limit or even up it a little bit.
Rory
Checking on the race fuel now, waiting for an email!
Sounds good Ill see what Chris can do on that side of things when I get it mapped.
With the increased rev limit - how much can a forged 4E (std cams and no headwork) rev too?
Speaking of chassis... I am thinking of:
whiteline front & rear ARB
Meister SRV coilovers
Big brakes kit - probably willwood 4 pots
braided brake lines
engine damper
TRD engine mounts
Polyutherane bushs all-round
Uprated front and rear strut braces
Ultra lower arm bar
Am I on the right track?
