I agree. They should each have their own map. Seems the right thing to do imo.

Have a look at cosmic spanners project thread, his is low boost running 240bhp he recorded 0-60 5.8 and 0-100 in 12.7. That is not slow! A standard 6 does 0-100 in 20secs

Just out of interest what's the 0-60 and 0-100 on a high boost and silly boost?

High boost and super are pretty much both 5s and but the high is 0-100 in 10.8 and super more like 10 dead, Buzz's will probably crack into 9 seconds seeing he has a new charged that makes the power lower down

You cant really make a FWD do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. Its pretty much not possible.
BTW aaron I wasnt saying that you were saying it was too slow etc, That was aimed at fatlapit.

See, now that's why I doubt the 5.5 time. As I went in stans silly boost and it's much much faster than a lb 6. But I'd imaging its only in the 5's.

Yeah but thats because you cant make a FWD car faster than 5 seconds.
Hence why cars like the Megane RS and Focus RS500/ Focus RS all have very similar times despite having 360hp, 300hp, and 265hp

HAHA Huh? Suspension, what who where? Razz

Youre on my case arent you? Fancy helping? I'm getting cold feet about the shocks/springs and doing that bit myself Smile
I.e I'm scared i will dive down a road without front wheels one day Big grin
The back should be easy enough for me and a mate i guess though.
I'm praying I've finally scrapped up enough for the beam, so far got the Baker Mounts, 205 Challenge Bilsteins, Brand new estate 21mm bars and the hybrid arb. Just need it made now.
(The front is much less urgent than the back. Which is genuinely getting a cause for concern now)

Just a UK spec with a few decent prodrive goodies. It's should have been making in the region of 240-260hp so nothing silly. It just put it down so well and had spades of torque which to be fair it needed as it was heavy. Cracking engine though. Smile Shame it was boring as sin in the twisties. Fooking superb in the snow though!!

To be honest though the scoob felt quicker, it throws you back in the seat instantly but thats due to the turbo coming in early. The lb6 doesnt throw you back in the seat as quick but once the revs have built up it feels quicker than the scoob imo. High boost feels insanly quick once the revs have built up.

It turned up, raped the dyno, tried to hump the fan, threw me and buzz off the front and p**sed off back home.

heres a black sheep can run as slow as a low boost or as fast as a high boost or sill boost at a flick of a switch or a turn of a knob

I know what you mean about the shove in the seat. God I miss that torque. Sad
It pulled properly hard in every gear with the revs up though. Smile

The problem with low boost is that it is so smooth that if you aren't screaming it, the only way that you notice is that the speedo moves faster. Which makes you itch for more power.

I got rid of my charger because I got done for speeding and knew that if I kept it more points would follow.

I notice that you are quick to slag SC-6s off. I will be interested if you could make an off the shelf turbo conversion that is as reliable and cheaper yet produces the same power.

Every turbo conversion that I have seen on here has turned into a money pit and hasn't been faster, cheaper or more reliable than a comparable supercharger conversion.

This is true at the moment but someone will do it I'm sure plus turbo power delivery feels dam good! Binkas one was a beast!
