chilli Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I already told him that! I know dude, I was just adding my 2 penith which is in agreement with yours you get another 20-30bhp after 4K rpm, so it feels more lively are you sure? what do you mean, ok so there are other hidden costs (plugs etc) but I presume that is all done. What else are you refering too, the occassional blown turbo? lol -- lol just wire it into the loom, can't see there is any reason to open the ECU up, other than to avoid splicing wires. It's only 4 wires after all, and you only need to actually cut 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 But that's where it goes anyway, on the loom. If you had asked we could have told you that:mobile: yeah but that's not exactly tidy is it! I've just found out where the MAP pin comes to on the board, and I think I might desolder this resistor, and hook it up inline here. Surely that's a whole lot tidier? http://www.sam-e.co.uk/ecu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I'd've bought one of those cheap SMD rework stations now while I was messing around with eeproms the other week. Onto the loom it is, in my litterbin footwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 hence the requirement for a masseuse when you've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yeah twin intercoolers IMO are for twin intake plenum's/throttle bodies/intakes.... Because the air only passes through 1. Using to 2 in series will IMO lead to a pressure loss and not be efficient. RS6 only has one TB Pressure drop would be the same as one FMIC if the twins were made correctly...but ill leave it for another time LOL bit off topic.

carl0s Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 hence the requirement for a masseuse when you've done Masseuse? I need a fuckin' threesome after that. I just dropped the HOT gas soldering iron under the seat.. and it was still burning, :grrr: Nearly had one less UK spec Supra to speak of. Anyhoo. Getting there...

carl0s Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Great stuff. VFCC fitted. There is quite a bit of acceleration to be had up there isn't there! It's only above 60mph where I was hitting fuel-cut anyway, but from my quick two-run test then, I found I was at 120mph before I knew it. I'd usually probably be about 15mph behind by this point having lifted off a bit. I found it quite hard *not* to lift off when the red light came on. It seems I've developed a pretty good reflex delayed-lift off thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Told ya it was so much quicker with the fcd off. Now you gotta make sure that it doesn't overboost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Told ya it was so much quicker with the fcd off. Now you gotta make sure that it doesn't overboost I'll set my boost alarm for 18 psi. I don't think it'll ever go off. In all my time of having the gauge fitted, I've never gone beyond 17.9. (it's a SPA digital gauge which remembers peak boost & temp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Thats 1.21 bar then matey. It will easily hit that and more. My car before it had its restrictor ring fitted hit 1.5 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Despite the previous FMIC discredit, i fitted a HKS type S when I was BPU, and i think it rocked especially with the boost @ 16.2psi. However if you want to pull away from a RS6 in a 60 to 100+ rip on the motorway you'll need a single. BL kit would be a good idea. You'll also need a slightly better clutch to handle the power. Go for it you know you want to!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car before it had its restrictor ring fitted hit 1.5 bar. but.. but.. but I'm UK Spec. I thought they generally didn't boost spike much at all? I think the only reason I'm getting this much boost is 'cause I have a full 3" decat instead of the more common 2.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Which red light is that mate? Boost alarm on the SPA boost gauge Had it set for 15psi. I lifted off after ~1.5 sec of the alarm light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 And auto to boot. Very well built cars them RS6 and the one I went for a test drive in stuck to corners like sh1t to a furry blanket. Yea i bet it did,my mates S3 does the same its a shame the supe dont handle like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using to 2 in series will IMO lead to a pressure loss and not be efficient. Just as you mention that the TT uses a twin intercooler setup and thats on an 1800 4 cylinder.. The S3 possibly does too...

carl0s Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Upgrade to a BPU J-spec TT - problem solved! I will be doing soon matey. Shopping for decat pipe now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm J spec BPU running 1.2/1.25 bar. I'm slightly quicker off the mark compared to my mates 470 BHP tuned RS4. Top end we're the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Wow, thats amazing! and 4,36 sec! I'm J-spec, full decat, hitting fuel cut, but soon to FCD that. I havent been doing any measurements but I wouldn't have thought that it would be possible getting very much below the 5 sec mark to 62mph. Is that on street rubber? It must have taken some tries? How many revs do you launch from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many revs do you launch from? The stock UK spec manual TT has a quoted 0-60 time of 4.9. Not sure about the stock J spec. On J spec with Higher boost, the ceramic turbos spool quicker and earlier in the rev range than the UK steel turbos. My second Turbo starts spooling from 3500-3700 rpm Yes, street rubbers. I can get it below 5 seconds consistently on 1.2/1.25 bar. on 0.9/1.0 bar the best I could do was about 5.3/5.4. I used to launch at 3000/3100 rpm. I now have a paddle clutch and lightened flywheel so I will experiment with the launching. I have had about 5 standing start drag races with an EVO FQ330 and I beat him everytime. Dry roads of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
