Hawwy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Mate if td set it then its live. they only set a car up to what is safe for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thats pretty much the limit of a stock lump, personally i wouldnt run it at that as IMO its almost a time bomb but ill be dependant on condition of engine. But im sure others will disagree an say theyve had more powerful and been running for years on a stock motor. I dont have a turbo motor just read about them alot.

Spoon_tuned Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 thanks guys yeh i thought that...if it wasnt safe they wouldnt have set it at that ...you rekon buying a ebc would help with this??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoon_tuned Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 its actually 237.6bhp and 199.9 i'm guessin one figure is at the wheels??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I cant see a ebc hurting, and they do help with spool up if setup well, plus they have spike warnings etc which is nice to have.I would assume thats fly and wheels unless your hi-lo boost button still works?Have you checked to see if leeroy had an old build thread?

StarletMad Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Lovely car and well looked after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm sure leeroy did have a build thread and it should be fine if TD mapped it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 There is someone in the power leader board running 260 ish bhp on a stock motor. On TD04. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 depends on the boost.but a lot of people run a td04 @ 1bar on standard interals for ages.Sparky ran 1.4 for quite a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoon_tuned Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Really appreciate the info guys. Leeroy is a top lad honest as he could be. Got receipts from TD its been set up coorectly its just in my mind because its so fast lol. And i dont thrash cars anyway i just want it to last ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I thought Sparky ran 1.4 bar and it blew up on the rollers, but yes what everyone else has said. At that bhp though standard i wouldnt expect that engine to last longer than 12months! i would stick to around 210hp on standard you can sleep at night knowing it will last! at that kinda hp you are likely to snap a rod or crack a ringland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danb Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 if its not running an boost controller then turn the boost down on actuator,with these cold days the boost will spike more causing it to run boost due to the cold air - just a precautionary measure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 i was planning on running mine at 1.1 on TD04 but think i may just stick to 1.0 as shes my daily lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Get an ebc and run it at .8bar, it will be set at 1 bar at present for the 237bhp give TD a ring if you are unsure ;)John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 id leave it the way its set up and no go changeing things unless you get the map tweeked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoon_tuned Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yeh i may give td a ring see wat they say i dont thrash it anyway its just if i get tempted maybe 210 bhp would be safer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burny Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 depends on the boost.but a lot of people run a td04 @ 1bar on standard interals for ages.Sparky ran 1.4 for quite a while.Didn't last very long though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The issue on these engines is there age.... Mechnical Fatigue is setting in...Generally... 1bar on a ct9 or 1.2bar on a TD04 is considered the limits...However it still depends hugely on the mapping... A shit map your car could go pop at stock boost...Go with a reputable tuner... I know Driver on here ran 1.4bar+ on a td04 on a stock engine for over a year and deathed it with no issues...

Starbo Moorley Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Every engine is different and will make different power, td04 and 1bar is fine on a bogo engine and with a decent driver is pretty hard too beat on track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoon_tuned Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 the input you guys have gave is great over on civiclife there would be a big argument right about now lol so thanks for your help guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If your keen on it lasting have it mapped to 1 bar mate will still be 200-220bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 the input you guys have gave is great over on civiclife there would be a big argument right about now lol so thanks for your help guysLol yeh theyd be a lot arguing going on over there hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If your going ebc I'd speak to TD as the boost curve will be different to the one it's mapped for, just a thought And socks is right it all depends on engine condition and mechanical fatigue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
