It started just after I have fitted the big turbo kit (IHI VF34) , on 4th gear at full throtle and over 100km/h it cuts off. After that I can not reengage it again, it stays off until a stop the engine.
Yes, I did.
new brake lines, rotors, ferodo ds 2500 and brf600. better but not much better.
H&R swaybars, H&R springs with Bilstein B8 shock absorbers.
I make 13.0-13.2 on 400m with 365bhp from my IHI.
It is not a bad time for an S3 but compared with an STI or EVO with 365 bhp it is terrible. The imports will be 5 to 6 car lenghts in front.
I have finished everything yesterday and I have tested the car last night.
I put Defi gauges and Greddy bost controler.
IT IS INCREDIBLE !!!!!
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!
You may have a point there !!! not slower, but more demanding to drive faster.
Now I have the IHI VF34, which I LOVE. Better for my pleasure than the K04 in all ways, and keep in mind that for all day driving I run 1bar stedy. The spoll up is faster than the OEM setup in every way.
so , the conclusion is prety much what I was saying in the begining.
255-260 is a power that you can obtain , you say easy, I say resonable. More than 260 is prety expensive so another turbo is , in my opinion, a much better option.
I am getting tired trying to find out what's wrong with my S3 ESP.
After big turbo upgrade(I don't know if it has anything to do with it) it keep cutting of at A point, and after that I can not reengage it back on, only if I stop the engine and restart it !
Did this ever happend to you?
22 kg is the oem tt wheel. without tyre.
a good 18" wheel is about 8.15kg : BuddyClub,CE28N,Special OZ wheels,some WRC model of Enkey and 9.5kg for OZ Ultralegera.
OK. So my mistake, then.
Sorry about waisting your time and for reading my uninformed and false pots.
At the end you have a poit: everyone has his own point of view about what he wants or likes in his car. You are right 100%. I didn't see that.
The K04 is not good for my way of driving and...
If you think that I came here wanting to argue with you, you are wrong.
I am telling you about my experience and, belive me, I am not a granturismo player on playstation!
The power that I told you is CORECT.
It is real life power , NOT 4500 rpm power.
I have done at least 3 diferent turbo...
with the K04 even if you help it with tyre compresor you can not "flow" 280 bhp! 255-260 bhp with every kind of addons like filter , exhaust or anythink.
if one keeps the K04 he will not break the 260 bhp limit never !
I am from Romania, so UK is not an option for me.
I went to DYNOTECH in Greece. Before my departure I tried to encourage myself that is not a bad choise for modifing my beloved car. After arriving , I was astonished by the enourmous tuning market that they have. Every big company in motorsport...
I put on my S3 the IHI VF34 ball bearing turbo with custom downpipe, 550 injectors and tial external wastegate.
I wanted to tell you guys because you can not find info about big turbo upgrades so easy on this forum. the power on the dynapack dyno is 365 bhp with 1.5 steady boost until 7500 rpm...
