Liam_D Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi guys, as most of you know I'm now running a td04 set up, and have been for a week. And it's been running a dream at 0.5bar. I'm currently saving for a emanage and map at tuning developments but the way things are going at the minute it's looking like that wont be happening for a while. Just wondering what's the most boost I could run on a td04 with standard ecu, injectors and pump? As at the minute it seems slower than the old ct9 set up and very sluggish. Am I safer to just put up with it until I can afford mapping or can I squeeze a little more boost out of it? Serious suggestions only please, none of this 'get an FCD and run 6million bar' please ThanksLiam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You'll be fine to run 0.7bar tbh.... Dont buy a fcd.... You'll be able to go 1bar on stock injectors probably.... Prolly could go to 1.2bar safely on proper management mapped up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 id run it at .8 bar mate, should be pokey enuf. I've heard of people runnin it at 1 bar and bein fine so its up to u mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prolly could go to 1.2bar safely on proper management mapped up So you reckon it could go upto 0.7bar on standard pump, injectors and ecu? Never ever gonna buy an Fcd as I totally disagree with them. Will eventually be going to a bar on emanage it's just to tie me over until the money comes in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You got an adjustable regulator? If you have a touch of extra pressure wouldnt hurt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Cool, this was the reason for putting the thread up as I want to know people experiences before just going ahead and doing it. I don't have a FPR no, as tbh I don't really know how they work or what they do so I've never really bothered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There not 100% needed... but offers the tuner a little more adjustability to set your car up perfect... They allow you to alter the fuel pressure. More fuel is needed for more boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Cheers Matt, so if I was to get a pump and a fpr do you reckon it'll be safer than running it on standard pump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 It won't hurt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Imo you would be better buyin a 255lph Walbro fuel pump if your planing on runing 1 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 im running 1bar on standard ECU, standard fpr, standard injectors, 255 pump, and a fuel controller i ran it with an FCD for a year before i got the fuel controller, no problems at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beastmode panda Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Your best option would be to get an fcd and run 6 million bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I wouldn't recommend raising the fuel pressure on the stock pump. Raising the fuel pressure puts more strain on the pump and it doesn't flow as much as what it would do at a lower pressure. That on a stock tired out old 15 + year old pump is going to hurt and could cause damage. You will need to upgrade the pump before tuning anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boosting24/7 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 ^^^^^^ dam it someone beat me to it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks for all the replies guys! Really in two minds about what I wanna do. I have people on here saying it'll be fine and then the professionals telling me not too as its risky! Ahhhhh!! Your best option would be to get an fcd and run 6 million bar.Don't make me ban the shit outta you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 i had mined maped for 1.3 bar on stock injectors and no fpr and it went fine so i reakon you be perfectly fine just to bang a walbro in there and run 0.8. i will say tho i ran a blitz ecu at 1bar before i got the emu and even after winding up the boost to 1.3bar i noticed i was actualy using less petrol despite running a hell of alot more power. at the end of the day theres no set answer you could try run 0.8 bar and the engine decide to shit itself or you could do a driver and keep all the fuel system stock bang on a blue and map it to 1.6 bar and have no issues. modding your car is pushing it away from standard and taking it out of the safe zone so fuck it why not go for .8 with a walbro and give it a shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 hope ul be runnin your's it .8 bar mate lol. aye mate because am fuckin mental like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
