Hi guys/gals need some honest advice on some work I've had done recently.
Firstly a little background on the car, its an 04 LCR 225 (bam) with peloquin diff, neuspeed ARB's front and back, koni fsd's, eibach springs, 3" blueflame turbo back exhaust with decat and green panel filter.
With the hybrid k04 turbo and remap (different vendor to APR) I've been told the car should be producing at least 300bhp but in all honesty it doesn't feel that much quicker than the old turbo running APR stage 2 (around 270bhp). Car produces around 17psi on spike and holds 17-18 psi to the redline, however if I use WOT over 4000 revs I get a spike of over 25 psi and this then settles back down to 17-18psi at the redline.
What concerns me is that I've only really gained an extra 2psi at high revs and I'm unsure if this would equate to near 300bhp as it feels slightly quicker but not by much and nowhere near enough to justify the 2k+ I spent having the work done.
I'm hoping to do some logs soon to get a more accurate picture of whats going on. I'm guessing the best blocks to log are 118 (boost), 02 (maf). What else should I log?
I'm also not sure if the fuelling is correct as I'm getting an error code of maf signal too high (currently 220g/s) and I get a slight jerk towards the red line. I have the standard 3 bar fpr on at the moment and I was told originally I'd need the 4 bar fpr fitted but when it came to getting the work done I was told the 3 bar should be fine although I've heard it mentioned that a 4 bar is normally required if going over 290bhp.
Generally I'm a bit bummed about the whole thing as I was told originally to expect a spike of up to 25 - 26 psi at 3k rpm and holding 21 - 22 psi to the red line. But after finally getting the work done after waiting nine months (the wait being partly down to me as I was waiting for a exhaust manifold to be available to compliment the turbo, which even now still isn't available) it a fair bit off the quoted product.
Any comments greatly appreciated
