Added dyno report to build thread and other details :p

ok so just posted up the Dyno sheet for the TD04 performance, unfortnatly due the HKS actuator not having enough adjustment i only managed 142.8bhp on the dyno :D

I have since would it up to a bar now and its turned into a bit of a monster, but i need to take it back to the dyno people at gotboost to finetune the fueling and ensure its dead on 1bar.

Also Pedobear was supposed to make a show today, but hes been delayed :D

Absolute Legend!!

Yeah thats what i thought to be honest, somthing isnt right somewhere although the guy did say the new roller system was giving lower readings than the previous one which was a bit of a pain in the ass. Its going back on the rollers next week to find out what.

What tdo4 are you running, mine is just a stock TD04 are you using the TD04L?

140 is still low for 0.6bar though mate, Im sure mine is pushing 170+ the way it goes!!

Never mind though she is on the road and getting there :D

Liking the updates Craig :)

But still no Pedobear :p

I was looking through your spec..

"3G 10 Groove Brakes

EBC Red Stuff Pads up front

Dave Burwash Braided lines all round."

Was this your braking setup last year? If yes what was it like, if not what was it instead and how was that?

I'm trying to find a budget setup for track and road use that won't fade, but on a budget!

What brakes are you running this year?

P.Bear wont be long i promise, mates been on bloody holiday!

As for the brakes yes thats what i used last year, its about as good as your gonna get it for the stock brake system with the mods below, but it still wasnt ideal. I was getting terrible brake fade after about 10 mins on track and the brake pedal was getting very soft (boiled the brake fluid), but i was driving like a loon braking late as hell etc.

If your not gonna hammer it around track i think below would be the best cheapest option, after that it gets fairly expensive.

I am going to have to upgrade the whole braking system to one of those WMS kits at some point, but thats on my "to do" list! I reckon some good pads, like the Mintex ones, grooved discs and braided lines and that will be ideal for what you want.

This year im gonna just use the Mintex race pads, hopefully that should alleviate some of the brake fade im getting with the red stuff pads.

I just went down to look at the print hes done and it looks bloody brilliant, i went with that 2nd image in the end and its so funny, it doesnt seem so disturbing in the flesh, purely because the bear is bigger than me!

Couldnt stop laughing when i saw it, i should have taken a picture. He just needs to laminate it for me and then hes going to fit it to the roof tomorrow, i cant wait to show you it its sooooo funny, i nearly pissed my self when i seen it ha ha.

Ah mikey B, yes i remember you :) So much so my mate was taking the mick out of me saying that you were my arch nemesis on track and was the main reason i have put a TD04 on my car lol, yours was very rapid!! What boost and bhp you running in that thing?

Glad you sorted the bonnet out from last years japfest :p . Do you remember a white GT out with you last years japfest with club VR4, if you do that was me.

Car is coming along nicely :)

I was running 1.1 bar on the TD04l, was running 218 hp at the fly and 182 at the wheels. I have been saving for the last year and buying parts so i can forge it and go TD05 16g. It's hard to get motivated but now i can build it back up :)

Haha :) arch nemesis, You can never have enough power you get used to it to fast. TD04 was bound to happen soon for you.

Good day that was. I remember a guy on the VR4 stand moaning about a starlet on track, I just laughed.

Having trouble putting the ring back on on my own, its a 2 man job! That fucker is a right bitch to squeeze on!
