white-gt Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 So guys ive got all the usual mods including a speed vision gen2 hybrid and a dastek piggyback etc running around 1bar.. although it feel reasonably quick with just me or with 1 passenger, any more and its obviously just not the same in terms of pulling.. i had a play with a mate at a closed strip with his scooby wrx which appears to be near standard apart from filter and exhaust fmic etc.if i have 2 passengers and he has one from 40mph their isnt much in it!if we have 1 each from 40 i pull away quicker to about 75 and then its even pretty much which i just dont think is right! so withought directly going down td04 etc, is their any changes you think would make much difference without stripping out etc? IE running emanage blue or maybe different map etc? ive noticed when i go in his, when he is booting it and into 4th it feels like a jolt like a fuel cut scenario just briefly but the actuator looks standard so i didnt think the boost was up more than standard..

Spoon_tuned Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Has the car been mapped?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A jam ecu would be a great upgrade for you mate, im running same turbo with standard actuator and the ecu changed everything, so much more power and barely any wheelspin, best upgrade ive had by far!

TimD Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The thing that makes the Starlet quick is it's weight, or lack there of. As soon as you start adding weight back in, then of course it will slow down. Why on earth you're racing on "closed" roads with passengers and putting them at risk is beyond me.

white-gt Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 i appreciate the comments but no one is perfect and wither you think its a risk or not is your opinion and your entitled to it but as the comment doesnt help with my questions i would rather you didnt. im running a Dastek piggy back mate mapped by HQ in fife running 1Bar. the Air con is taken out already and removing the back seats isnt really an option.. so other than use a carbon bonnet and plastic windows etc i dont think i'll get much less. Perhaps we just expect too much from these little cars after all the scoob will be 220bhp standard before any mods etc, sure its heavier but also bigger engine, bigger turbo etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Its either more power of less weight. Adding passengers Is of course going to make it noticeably slower . The das tek should out perform any plug and play ecu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 shaun i agree, of course the power to weight aspect comes into it, i just wondered if their was any small changed that any one has common knowledge of that improves performance other than big changes. im running good leads, grade 7 plugs, dastek, hybrid-1Bar, fmic, rrfpr, front air filter etc. i think tbh the next best thing i can do is get a lsd fitted for quicker launching rather than waiting until my revs are past 3k rpm before planting it..

Jay85 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Totally off topic but a closed strip sounds a lot safer than the usual industrial estate!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
