nice mods - sorted the handling as well as a little power

 

dependant on what the issues are (as Ghost said) either post here or create a thread in the closest match section - The reason for the separate thread is two fold

1) it gets specific answers to questions and initially it will focus attention / increase visibility etc - it then may take on a life of its own and go off on a complete tangent there is absolutely no guarantee of staying on topic with this forum

2) This is the main one - it may help others who are suffering the same issues being easier to find not being potentially buried in an unrelated thread

but the choice is yours

Thanks for that will do it by the book .. ..Yeah does amaze me how quick she can get through the corners..

[Scoobydoobydan]

Hey and welcome to SOC,

nice to see a good clean example of the older models 

get stuck in, and look forward to seeing it out and about 

[UK2T]

Thanks.. yeah she needs a bit of tlc mainly rear arches.. couple of dings here and there.. aiming to get all bodywork sorted and break the 300bhp barrier by summer fingers crossed.. 

[Scoobydoobydan]

I'm hoping mine will be as dam close to the 300BHP, 

got a full decat straight through system,

upgraded fuel pump

upgraded air filter

plus being an import STI, which is around the 275BHP as standard so I need to remap mine soon to get the fuel gauge under control  plus installing the above too!!!!

 

[UK2T]

Nice... Yeah going to start the hunt for some upgrades soon.. Got to fix and sell my golf first though..what turbo you running?.. 

You got pics of your car on here? 

Regards 

Ben 

[Scoobyghost]

UK2T, you will need an upgraded turbo to break 300 in a UK car. The TD04 runs out of puff between 270-280hp. Imports use a TD05 and that can make 320hp.

[UK2T]

Yeah I'm running a new TD05..sti intercooler plus exhaust. . Maybe mine needs a better map..? 

 

[GeoffLeggy]

Yes! Get a better map.  Looks like the Alps.  I jest a bit but it looks like it could do with a tweak.  Do you have the other sheets (boost, fueling etc) and a wider shot?

[GeoffLeggy]

E.G - smooth! Tidgy?

[UK2T]

Yeah must be standard .. Yeah I have them I'll get better pics tomorrow.. Will get it re-mapped when ecu finally calms down.. 

Scooby clinic.. Are you wheels ok?! 

Will check import car parts for the gaskets as well..

Lol 

Do you have a good tuner near you?

[UK2T]

Sorry couldn't help it..  know a few around Northampton not scooby specialists though will have a look.. 

Would a remap sort the idle/rough running issue any quicker lol.. 

[GeoffLeggy]

Its hard to say really, the rough idle could be all sorts.  Have a search on here first for similar issues/solutions, maf, vac hoses etc.

If your down Aylesbury way, Ive used DSA for over 10 years who are a Jap tuning specialist with dyno.

[UK2T]

Yeah had a read of the others plug gaps etc.. Thing is it was sudden which made me think sensor was running perfect before that maybe the rough roads around me contributed to it.. 

I'll have a look now.. Maybe worth ringing them see if they have dealt with similar situation.. 100 key turns to sort out jeez..

 

[aucky]

welcome 

[Scoobyghost]

What supporting mods do you have making that power?

Ideally to get your 320 you need: Decat turbo back exhaust, free flow panel filter(or induction kit depends personal taste) 3 port boost solenoid(UK cars only have 2 ports) upgraded fuel pump(avoid the risk of running lean) PFR7B spark plugs came heavily recommended for me. It seemed to be one of the main criteria when I was being mapped as the first questions he asked were "which plugs and how old are they?".

I have 3" turbo back decat zorst, cosworth panel filter, rcm fuel pump, 3 port solenoid(2ND hand from an import) pfr7b plugs. Here's my map.
