Weyro Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wondering what would cause a TD04 at 1bar to feel slower than a CT9 at 1bar boost.My mates been running his TD04 for about a month, and id agree with him, after driving it, that it just doesnt feel as quick as it did with the CT9.According to his boost gauge, its boosting fine, with no leaks, and its at full boost around 3600 rpm. Just doesnt seem to have the same kick as it did.Could it be that its just alot smoother?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 My td04 at 0,6 feels quicker than my ct9 at 1 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 get it mapped and mate will be 100% better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 What ECU is he running? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Its on standard ECU, and had fueling setup with a wideband, and fpr.Emanage, is his next on the list. But hes really disappointed as he thought that the difference should have been huge even without a piggyback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B11G KY Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 My CT9 at a 1Bar and My TD04 at 0.8 was a huge! difference something is definitely wrong pal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'd say ECU is defiantly holding it back.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B11G KY Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I take it you a have an FCD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yea, hes got an FCD.Hes had the car about 2 years, and was running 1bar on his CT9 for that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 they are ok on fcd i used mine on it for a few month was running 195bhp at 0.8 defo still felt better than the ct9 though only thing i found with the ct9 is it boost quicker defo got to be something up boost leak anywhare ?

Flaminsam Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Mine is running 0.8 and pick1 has been out in it. He says its brutal compared to his td04. Hour is running emb and I'm on a standard ecu. Is it black smoking a lot under boost? Could be running insanely rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It shouldnt make any difference if its running a FCD or mapped, either way it should be quick as fook. If its not boosting properly check out things like the wastegate, is it external or internal. It can hold 1 bar boost but if the wastegate isnt closing fully you will lose the initial punch when you put your foot down, so worth checking your actuator.What rpm does it take to get to 1bar?

Weyro Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 There is a bit of black smoke when really nailing it.It holds boost fine, and spools pretty quick. about 3600 rpm for full boost.What fuel pressure are you running on standard ecu and td04? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 when i had mine on FCD i had it set to about 3bar but best to get it set up with a wideband or roling road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Mine is running 0.8 and pick1 has been out in it. He says its brutal compared to his td04. Hour is running emb and I'm on a standard ecu. Is it black smoking a lot under boost? Could be running insanely rich.It's true mine is a smooth hard pull mapped on the emanage SAMs just goes ballistic when it hits boost so urs should deffo be a lot quicker than a ct9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 To be honest I don't have a clue what the fuel pressure is. All I know is on idle with the vac pipe on it runs around 14.7 afr. When It comes on boost it runs somewhere near 10.5afr. Also when cruising it sits nicely at around 14.7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
