no dont have a sps at all at the min. just booked in for stage 2 so migth just leave it till after stage 2 been done see if its any better
 
cough lower than forge IC temps cough. on a hot night id say that was bloody good going.
 
**Did you log intake temps mate?

154gm/s @ 6400 is quite good tho mate, about 205bhpish (as an estimate from MAF figure).


**EDIT: I didn't scroll the log... :doh:


Temps look similar to our Blue Cupra's mate, thats running a laguna... rarely see over 30°, max about 35°... Good job! :D

I was hitting 70s on the old SMIC! I think the minimum I saw on it was about 43°, so maxing at 35° is a superb improvement for a £100 mod!

dident notice the bhp estimate before thats quick good since i was only getting 189 before know i maf reading was around 149 before i fitted intercooler
 
That was one log of about 8 runs tho, all back to back and i'm probably running higher settings. Not a fair comparision at all.
 
not a far comparison at all you need 2 cars runnign same mods getting same power doing it at same time to get afair comparison which i think will never happen, all we can say is it seem a good mod for price but never going to know what the full portential is and not been developed properly like the forge one.
 
just thought id mention it as he was quick to mention poor intake temps, im pretty sure ive seen forge IC's go way over 40oC on stage 1 before in 12oC ambient, and that wasnt even at the redline.

Doesnt make much difference between the two stages, if anything stage 1 is more aggressive under full load. Stage 2 just moves the peak slightly.

He is running a k03 map on a k03s, so comparison isnt far off to be honest.

Not disagreeing that the forge has been devloped, but you can get the core made anywhere with its dimensions. Same goes for the Forge Owners, they cant really comment on the performance of the laguna can they :) personally seen both, tested both and know which i prefer :eek:)
 
just had the car booked in for stage 2 on thursday, just hope the 4bar fpr arrives form tt shop before then lol.

they said they woudl set it all up correctly for me to when tehy do it :)

dont know what sort of power increase i will see though
 
dident notice the bhp estimate before thats quick good since i was only getting 189 before know i maf reading was around 149 before i fitted intercooler

Well 149*1.331= 198bhp...

Like I said its only an estimate, and some people in the know can get your MAF to read what they like...somehow... I dunno.. but for joe bloggs and his laptop its not a bad estimate...

I used to hit 174 in the Blue Stg2 Ibiza, and that would put it at circa 230bhp...

When I log the IHI I am gonna be looking to reach around 263gm/s ;)


Mike
 
it is a good estiamte i reckon as was rolling roaded at 189 bhp so would of been about rigth for maf readings.

so your looking at about 350 bhp ;)
 
Will do... Its insured for 330bhp... so I am kinda hoping for that, anymore and it'll be a bonus, but perhaps a premium increase too lol

About 250gm/s... lol
 
need to make sure its 330 then or your insurnace may go up lol

be log see waht toy get will give you a ruff guid. but to be honest if you every crahsed the car its not like there gonna rolling road it to see if the power is mroe are they lol
 
I think I was just about able to translate that!! PMSL :D

While I agree with you about the crashing thing, it would be silly to declare everything to them then to put a lower power down, plus my insurance company are members on here, which means unless I wanna be watching what I type every 5 seconds I'm better to tell them everything. They are good guys anyway... decent quote, and good customer service skills...although the fact EVERYONE seems to always get through to the SAME Customer Service guy is a bit weird... haha

Anyway... back on topic :doh:
 
lol sorry my spelling is shocking i know.

ah true aint worth it then i suppose, how you with greenlight?

yea back on topic, seem to have done it job anyway intercooler, just cant wait for stage 2 will it make much of a diffrance you think says 10-15% reckon ill get that?
