Hi i am looking for anysizes i can get on the k04 , i cant seem 2 find anything online about them . I have just recently had the k04 (out a golf r no idea if thats difrent to the k04 in a edition30) conversion done on my car .Its booked in for a custom map on satarday at sitech motorsports the guy was asking for the sizes off the turbo so any help would be appreciated, thanks.
-
The turbine wheel and housing sizes wont help massively as most of the mapping on the ME9 ecu is based on limiters. If they study the K03 maps from your car and look at a k04 stock map and a K04 tuned map then they will quickly realise its relatively straight forward to get the desired results.
I have some original and base maps that they can use as a guideline if required.
-
yeh that would be a great help thanks . :happy2:
-
It seems simtech buy their software in anyway.
-
i honestly couldnt tell you mate , ive not heard much about them but apparently the guy that does the mapping is an x formula 1 technician or somthing, thought id give them a go and at £450 its worth ago as revo quoted me over £1000.
-
They buy their maps in from DNA tuning I believe. I know nothing about simtech, a lad that comes to us with an MX5 has a massive dislike of them though, plenty about it on the mx5 forums.
-
its not simtech its sitech , little company in edinbrugh .. unless its the same people ? . http://sitechracing.co.uk/ they do seem to use dna tunning aswell tho ..
-
Sorry, that was a typo by me. We are talking about the same place.
Its not any more difficult than just doing a stage1 on an ed30.
-
ahh this makes me feel a little sceptical about them now. :scared:
-
Wasnt trying to make you sceptical, but its a rather odd question (turbo sizes) to ask, especially if you had experience with the tfsi engines
-
took the car up to the guy 2day , simon seemed to know alot about cars but unfortunatlt the car ran 312bhp at the flywheel with crazy boost spikes , made a couple of tweaks but the car still kept hitting limp mode he seems to think it could be the boost actuator ? :confused: (the car was allready hitting limp mode b4 i took it to him)
-
Datalogging should show up the issue. I assume he was using vagcom or similar to log it all?
-
Ate you using the k04 injectors? What was the fault codes from the limp mode?
-
It was on a dyno . they are golf edition 30 injectors i thought the setup should run roughly about 360bhp . the engine managment light is not coming on but i dont have a fault reader avalibale at the moment to read them , i am going to borrow one 2 morrow 2 check there isnot an underlying problem. I am talking to the guy down at DNA tunning at this moment to see what can be done . have you got any tune mapped guidlines for this sort of thing ? thank you for helping mate. :happy2:
-
i thought the setup should run roughly about 360bhp
Interesting as revo quote 340-350...
-
It says 360 plus on their site and both rab and stew on here got 358 and 362 out theirs of im not mistaken
-
trying to explain 2 this guy that you need a basemap from an edition 30 to tweak is just not getting through to him haha think he is still trying to tweak the k03 map lol !
-
Theres no definite method to use but its far easier to use the k04 fuelling and boost maps as a guide. That way you do t need to try and re-scale the k03 fuel maps.
-
i have nothing else 2 give the guy imformation wise i might just ask for a refund and go to revo instead if this carys on . :scared:

I know nothing about gardening, so I would pay someone to do it for me. If my gardener came back to me asking for information about how to plant a flower I would find a different gardener.
