T4 .....WTF?

Those turbos are for retro folk

Jurassic Period, middle of the three periods of the Mesozoic Era.

1. During the Jurassic’s 64-million-year duration, the T4 series turbo's reigned supreme.

dingy,

The web names are mine not Dougs

Who said it was Dougs, I didnt and nor did he.

FYI, The web names were offered to Doug for what they cost me but he
didnt want them, his choice.
You can buy them if you want

As for ECU's, Doug didnt want the S8 due to a throttle response problem
that I actually fixed ages ago but he couldnt wait so decided to use an L8
as the car needed a remap.
I dont have a problem with that but you seem to.

You clearly have no idea about R+D even though I though you were an IT geek.

I can make wiring looms, can YOU make ecu's ??

Anyway Steve, ask yourself: Why do people buy Ryans looms over yours...

I remember a conversation with Karl about some sort of boil and physics and the fact its not in your ecu algorithms....

Personally i don't care......

I was mearly confused by your sig.....

Fact of the matter remains

Doug said your ecu was shite and changed it - I NEVER SAID A WORD BAD ABOUT IT.

dingy,

Doug is entitled to his opinion, I am sure Doug is big enough to speak for himself
and certainly never said anything like that to me.

I am proud of my "shit" ecu and it gave me much enjoyment when designing it.
There are many high power cars running it even a few mapped by Karl himself.

I have plenty of friends, perhaps I could lend you a few. LOL

If doug did say that im sure he reeeally happy about him being grassed up for saying it.

At 8200rpm I would be surprised if it was over 500bhp.

My understanding of this post is that Dingy is asking Doug what he reckons the Mk2 made?

since Doug owns an Escort Cossie with a GT30?
and Dingy owns a Mk2 cossie with a T4?

seems a little confusion is in the air?

I think we are trying to guess what Dingy's car made on the chassis dyno, with 2.3 BAR held boost....

Anyway, based on a tatty compressor map I found (on parchment paper), 2.3 BAR equates to 538 BHP - so that is my guess

I wasn't slaggin off simon at all, infact his coil pack board in my car has cured my missfire.

The rest of the stuff i posted as far as knew was common knowledge guess i was a little mistaken.

Sorry if i offended simon or doug

Car has not been mapped yet so no idea on power....

Dingly,
Is that a "standard" T4, or one like mine?

If so, I know the answer .

Dannn,
Mine mad 500bhp at 8500 .
