Cat's Ep82 Starbo Thread - Now Forged & Sequential!

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Your car is just brilliant and great work.

Thanks for the kind words bud

no worries pal,

yeah getting rid of the PS def does clear up the engine bay a good bit, i hated mine with PS seemed far to loose when pushing on, not much feel

See for the 2 line to the inlet, did you just loop them as well, or do you just block them off individually? As I will have to block them off when the new inlet comes but I'm not sure if I can leave them until then?

How can you drive without PS

I haven't driven it yet so can't comment

How can you drive without PS

Like a real man!

Looks good CAT, absolutely love this car, can't wait to see the dyno figures, should be good Keep up the good work dude

Jason

[andy.i]

get that manifold cleaned and painted

[Jeroen W.]

The Side exhaust looks nice..

Can you make a video of the sound..

because i'm want to know how loud it is I think more people want to know

And thanks for recommending the MeisterR Have them to now It drives great

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Just had a quick drive to see what non ps felt like, felt a touch heavier but I don't get why people made out it was soooo heavy. Must be soft boys tbh

I tried to make a vid of my side exit but the mic on my camera just makes it sound wank tbh lol

[Sparky]

May ditch my PS too

Still looking forward to seeing what this makes on the rollers :harhar:

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Another small update, I finally got the back de stickered, took ages due to the glue being gay, also I had to remove the TM development stickers due to them falling apart lol, I also gave it a clean since the weather has cleared up a bit and cleaned my alloys, first time I've ever cleaned a set of alloys!:

[Dean @RW-Developments]

car looks sweet bud does your engine damper make much difference?

[Idrees]

I'd like to know the answer to that too. ^

Looks ace mate.

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

honestly not sure tbh lads, as I have TRD engine mounts as well.

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Well put the car onto the rollers today at Wallace Performance in Aberdeen, here's the graph and a vid:

Vid:

Spec of the car are:

TD04 hybrid

Forged engine

460cc injectors

Greddy ultimate

Front exit exhaust

External wastegate

Wepr mani and decat

relocated air filter

uprated fuel pump

running 1.4 bar although 19psi read on the dyno

What I've taken from the run? That the rev limit needs to be raised as it was making power all the way to the limiter, that it runs rich a bit, and that my wideband is correct even though it's accuracy had been called into question.

I know it's not all about figures but tbh I expected a little more at 1.4bar, although I will be swapping to a apexi and it will get mapped better and with more boost so it's kind of irrelevent really but an interesting day.

Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed

[GAZ@A&G_TUNING]

nice mate, what power it make at the wheel then? 210??

is it a sasha hybrid td04?

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Yeah about 210 at the wheel, I think the actual figure was 208.9 or something like that though.

It's a speedvision td04 hybrid.

Although I was expecting a bit more tbh or am I being a bit optimistic?

[GAZ@A&G_TUNING]

well i have seen some of these hybrid's make LESS power than the stock turbo's, we have one of are td04 hybrid turbo's on the dyno in prob 3 weeks times max so keep an eye out for that, was really quick on a stock motor so now on a fully forged 4e with boost upto 1.6-7 bar it should make great power

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Will have to keep an eye out for that then buddy.

Oh and your display pic is creepy! haha

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Well got my apexi power fc yesterday, was wanting to upload some pics but photobucket is messing about just now for some reason so guess I can't!

Due to breaking the car now, this will most likely be my last update on the car.

Cue violins!

FIN

[SiCaln]

What really? Whats with the change of heart man?

[Ibiza125]

Due to breaking the car now, this will most likely be my last update on the car.

Eh??

[Sanchez]

Boooooooo

[jason_l]

This actually makes me sad to see such a nice Starbo get broken

Hope you go onto bigger better things CAT and you don't regret it

Jason

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

I'm 100% sure I won't regret this lads.

Have faith gentlemen. All will be revealed in time

[Sanchez]
