nah man sounds cool and all but there nothing but lanes and small rods around here. so if you put a massive tubby on it would take ages to get going

[Sparky]

I know what your saying mate, its all good

[BenV]

same with me i dont know weather to get a hybrid or a td04. whats the difference between them in lag?

[Sparky]

There is a bit more lag but when it comes on full boost the TD's pull much harder due to being a larger turbo

As long as you got a decent set up the lag shouldnt affect you too much

[Si@Fiske]

lag is for winners

['4AGTE']

amen to that full boost at 500rpm for me

[BenV]

cheers man. i'l have to start thinking which route i want to take now

[paul w]

amen to that full boost at 500rpm for me

Think you've got an issue there mate

[ecksjay]

hm good point about the roads, may be worth going for something more responsive, alot of people dont like and arent used to lag, especially as starlets are renowned for their awesome response, remove that and they feel entirely different, only really suited to motorways etc, basically high speed runs, which is scary on its own in a starlet, with panels peeling off etc

give it some thought anyway lewis, thats alot of money to spend on what in essence is a uk n/a. we'll defo help out where we can though, just let me know if there's anything you need.

[BenV]

think im going to go down the hybrid route, been thinking and if a tdo4 is lagy then im not going to get what i want out of it, so a good hybrid is definatly on the cards, what sort of power could you get out of the setup?

[RobSR]

well setup hybrid...depending on boost, and how well its mapped etc...210+ @ the fly is acheiveable.

[BenV]

sounds good to me. i want 200atw, is this possible?

p.s. sorry for hyjacking the thread

[briggers]

never heard of that.

[BenV]

never heard of that.

what? 200 atw. is that ambitious?

[briggers]

well to have 200 at the wheels your looking at arround 260 at the fly and on a hybrid i have never heard of that.

im no expert so the 260 is a rough estimate give or take a 5 or so bhp

[WallaceGlanza]

260bhp and 200atw would mean a 30% loss through the transmission which is huge! Even 20% is quite high for a fwd and that would mean 240bhp for 200atw.

230bhp should be achievable on a properly setup hybrid and thats nigh on 200atw with normal transmission loss.

[BenV]

cheers guys that is some good news. will the engine be able to cope with that sort of power increase or will i have to forge it?

[briggers]

thats what i meant lol give or take 30 bhp lol

[briggers]

well i have heard this is the limits of the stock engine. so to achieve this you will need the best set up.

im aiming for 200bhp first and have a drive arround like that for a while.

[briggers]

just a bit of info for you if you didnt read up already.

abott who is running this :

here is my set up at the mo

1.5bar boost

268bhp

218 torque

211 whp

and he has a proper set up so i was right give or take 5 bhp.

[briggers]

its in technical discussions and its on turbo tech under turbo spec or something like that.

[BenV]

cheers bud, i'l go and check that out

[RobSR]

200 whp on a hybrid is ambicious...mark is only making 203 whp on a td05 at 1.1 ish bar i think...

you dont need to go chasing figures, its what the end result/package is like to drive on the road.

[Starbus]

I can map these using FC Dataloggit, just north of the midlands.

[Sparky]

The one I was after has sold

Will see if I can get one next year though
