Basic Performance upgrade

[stutzedward]

Is yr exhaust fully modded? I mean decat + sports muffler? Hmm... send it to check and see how. I was using TD05 + FMIC for quite some time before I sent it for dyno tune + injector upgrade + fuel pump upgrade. It was OKAY and speed above 160 climbs a lot faster to 200 mark as comapred to stock TD04. FC was about the same too.

my exhaust is de-cat fully custom from turbo 2.5 inch straight pipe with aftermarket muffler.

Sud be sufficient for your TD05 now. Check your intercooler piping, maybe there's a leak especially the silicon joints. Is the intercooler new? Check if there's any damage too.

its a new cheap intercooler.. i think maybe its the manifold not tight enough or some pipes leaking.. i'll get it check ASAP bro. thanks for the concern.. will update some post soon...

bro, what injector would u suggest? evo 560cc or sti pinks? which one have the least problem and lower cost of installation?

 

[stutzedward]

Not sure about the cost but AC motorsports told me pink actual max around 500cc though it rated 550cc. Evo 9 is true 560. Pink is cheaper.

 

[4gbanger]

well pinks are same high ohm injector while evo are low ohm. heard that pinks are a direct clip on since the socket are the same shape. while evo are abit longer body and need to wired its own socket which means it need some modification to install.

 

[stutzedward]

I see. Yes evos aren't pnp for sure. Ok I just tell what was told.

hahah.. dude, can flashing our ECU makes the boost comes sooner or sharper?

 

[stutzedward]

Yes in a way cos with the right mapping, car revs up faster hence increasing the response n boost building faster.

 

[4gbanger]

yup, ur rite.. different turbo different a/f mapping different power curve.. last night there was vacuum hose not connected. feels abit better now. no wonder the boost jumping up n down yesterday. i bought a GTA turbo and i am hoping to get faster response from other TD05hr. can i tune to get full boost before 4000 rpm? is it achieveable?

 

[stutzedward]

Honestly, I've never really see at what rpm max boost is achieved. Get the injectors n tune it.

 

[4gbanger]

yep.. i'm gonna get 1 soon..

Share pic of engine bay la.

 

[4gbanger]

my engine bay very ugly bro.. shame

 

[stutzedward]

haha.... :P

 

[4gbanger]

so much dust n dirt.. thickness up to 1 inch..

 

[stutzedward]

Send for washing one time.... then subsequently, just rinse with water and wipe dry. That's what I do to keep my engine clean.

 

[4gbanger]

yup.. will do that sir.. wanna spray rocker cover as well.. wanna keep up with the sifu like u mah..

 

[stutzedward]

haha.. my engine bay is not the best... still, the open pod filter looks unorganized to me.
