230bhp realistic on TF035


Recommended Posts

So mappings round the corner and i am aiming for 230bhp... Spec is

Zisco ramhorn manifold and down pipe to jperformance 2.5 exhaust heatwrapped

Tial external wastegate

Tf035 turbo

Standard engine

To fit:

emanage blue

TD Fuel pressure reg

Walbro fuel pump

Blitz ebc

I chose the tf035 over a td04 as it was never really my plan to map it. And prefered the quicker spool. Now im mapping im concerned it wont make the figures i wont. Am i wrong in thinking the 35 will make similar power as a 04 but cant run as much boost? Should i swap it out for a td04?

Just go for it and see what you get, if it drives alright forget about the figure if its lower than you expected.

TD04s are good though thats why so many people run them, and no matter what anyone says they are not laggy in a well set up car :)

It drives pretty well atm on the standard ecu 0.7bar boost set on a manual boost controller. Fuells spot on on my aem wideband and pulls reall well. I just dont want to waste the mapping for a small end figure in a way

They were both mapped at tuning developments

Mike said he was impressed with it and it wouldn't take much more to get close to that figure of the td04

also spools near 1000rpm quicker

Ollie it's not all about figures, having It mapped will make your driving experience better than not mapped, TF spools faster and TD spools slower so your on a winner with less spool just have slightly less power

I know which I'd prefere .... Less power better spool

Just my opinion but like dan said just go for it :D

Yeh man i know its not ALL about the figures, but everyone still loves them. For me its alot about the money .

I reckon it drives great atm just want a bit more. But if im Gonna spend £500 to get 10 or so hp doesnt seem worth it when i love the way it is already lol

If it's running as nice as you say, get on a rolling road and see what the output in its current form is and make a proper educated decision on ecu and mapping from there :) save some £££ then

This. I will be doing this when the my chasis is stiffer, gives something to aim for rather than numbers pulled out of the air

Plus you change your mind like the wind mate :p If you are thinking about cash it's probably costing you more switching parts than getting on with it and finding out where she is at now.

This is true, but the numbers are based on the large number of other starlets. I know i change loads haha,this is why i dont want to be disappointed when i map her. Already bought the fpr,ecu, ebc and fuel pump now lol. Ill get it rolling road and see what i think

What a lot of people forget is ..... Every engine is different

Two identical engines with identical mods being mapped and tuned by the Same person can sometimes have noticeable power differences, you could have good outcome or you could be disappointed :-/

I don't understand how this happens but it does haha

Deffo get it rolling roaded first :)
