mattyD Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 depends on how healthy your engine matea generic rule of thumb tends to be 1 bar which should see you to 230ish but it needs to be set up properly Quote
_shaun_ Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 i ran mine on 1.3bar on a td04 mapped with a emu for over a year no issues a few people have ran upto 1.6bar and some people have blew the engines at 1.2bar so its a bit of a lottery above 1.1bar realy Quote
akyakapotter Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I'm on stock internals 1bar on emb 233.4bhp 210ftlb torque been going ok since augest Quote
starletburkie Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 1bar would be safe with a good map and above 1 bar is a chance imo Quote
Stu Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 The key factor is the tune. I've been involved with a number of high output stock internals that by all rights should have let go but havent. Don't rev them too hard and intelligent setup of the timing is criticle. Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I've heard of 1.4 going for years on the correct map Quote

JayJ Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Forget the FCD and get atleast a plug&play ecu like JAM, BLITZ etc. Quote
akyakapotter Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I'd stay stay away from fcd if your going td04 get it on a piggyback ecu mapped you won't regret it. I ran mine on fcd for a few months. Had it mapped and it was a compleatly different car more power torque better fuel and engine runs smoother. Quote

akyakapotter Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I had somewhere around 195bhp self set up on a Wideband . you will need a decent Wideband to set it up yourself so AFR's are at a safe level or you'll end up blowing the engine in no time. Quote
shorty Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 All an fcd set up like this will probably get you is a poor fuel consumption and a blown engine at some point. if your lucky you may see 220ish hp due to poor fuel control and no ignition control. Realy not the best way to tune mate. Quote
AdamB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 If you can't find a tuner to map an ecu for you. Go with a plug and play like blitz, jam etc.Use a wideband gauge to check the AFR and also a set of det cans to check for knock. Quote
