just back from my star RR

[dav]

as the title above says....

got up early this morning to make the drive from aberdeen to kirkauldy to star performance. got there at about 9ish and it opened at 10. so i was able to get on the RR.

in the end, i was forth on.


ended up with 177.7 bhp at the fly
136 at the wheels.


very chuffed.

got a video, and will get pics of the graph on soon.


**didnt like the feeling when mines is on the rollers, heart was pumping**


cheers

non remapped yea? not bad!
btw theres a section for dyno stuff

 

[dav]

no, he was saying its had a minor map, ie boost is slightly more than standard.

i think the torque was quite impressive. 202 lb'ft.


happy anway.

 

[cordobabrendy]

a non balls out map can be mapped for torque rather than bhp. can i ask why only minor when reliability is fine for a 190-200 map? torque would be up again also (circa 220-230 lb/f)

 

[m0rk]

sounds more like a cupra R ecu....

pass.... didnt do it. was expecting more or less standard really.

Nice one. especially for a standard car. Those rollers seem really good and those lot are a good bunch.

 

[dav]

he didnt really speak much... lol it was just jim. then he had someone to help him who didnt work there.

but when my car had done its run, he spoke a bit more. should be down again nearer febuary time... to get the k03s remapped. (which i bought from you matt)

 

[dav]

just the fmic to buy.

bought the k03s a while ago, 100cel cat is sitting with the full stainless system (blueflame)


they car will be completley finished by feb. got the fk silverline x's coilovers, so he will be doin a wheel alignment. the brembo brakes and seat sport wheels.

he seemed quite surprised what i had sitting for it.

I've got a map from Jim @ Star and its quite conservative i'd agree. Peaks just over 14psi, makes around 210lbft and 200bhp and runs a 14.6 @ 100mph 1/4 mile.

Cars basically standard apart from the remap too.

 

[dav]

mine wasnt mapped at star, it was bought in newcastle. but i would have preffered a star remap. when i get it mapped for the k03s, i dont really want all out power. just enought will do it.

 

[turboboy]

i know that feeling, always scared i wont get the results i want!

Good results, stars rollers are good, did he tempt you with a map while u were there

we all know the feeling!! i could feel my chest flexing my heart was beating so hard! i was more worries the thing would come off the rollers tho!

 

[dav]

yeh my heart was goin like mad. i wasnt worried about it coming off, a golf got 300atw a car before me - which gave me faith!!! lol

 

[turboboy]

they tryed a run in 4th in mine and it sort of jumped so they had to run it in 5th

I think I just missed you mate. I had just arrived when I saw a silver Ibiza (I assume it was yours) pulling away from the car park.
It was a good day out, I was there more for the detailing stuff than the rolling road, some nice cars were there too.
You also missed what looked like a Group Buy of Clio's as well. I think about 10-15 of them arrived and then went away at the same time

[dav]

yeh. we left at 12.30ish, had been there since 9. was down early for the RR.

alot of clio's, some had good power.... and jim was hitting the limiter in them aswell.

some guy in a m3, 1994 model was desperate to get on, he got on - made shite power and wheel spun all the way up the car park, and up the road. lol

 

[bucky boy]

what did the bmw make mate as i spoke to him as i thought it was the 3.2 evo and he said that the evos were not that good and he expected more out of his.

 

[dav]

i dont know the precise figure, he went on after me - so by the time i parked my car and had a look about - he was gone. but heard he wasnt happy.

how long did you stay for.?

 

[bucky boy]

rr

about 14.30 my son loved it just like me mate.U missed all the m5 and m6,s.Spoke to jim about the k03s and the map got to phone him once the cash clears.Will need to try and organise a mk3 cupra meet would be fun either down here or up your end as i have family in inverness and aberdeen.

 

[dav]

a mk3 would be good - would have to be down at star tho. would prefer it to be at an actual vag tuner. my k03s swap will be done by febuary, and mapped soon after. but an seat meet at star would be nice!
