    .... but look at his figures with just his sourced chip, they are far over any of our chip figures. Just a very impressive ECU remap i think.

    very true. He is sourcing an LSD so that will definitely help out. But his rims are 18x7's, so i'm guessing the tyres would be 215's. IMO not enough width for that sort of power, need 225's at least. Wider wheels and tyres needed for that though.... plus spacers. Will have to wait for the loaded videos to see the traction abilities of this beast.
    It should definately make for interesting viewing.

    I'm glad someone worked that out. That's insane, would love to see how that goes (and how you plan to stick it to the ground

    I update my ECU today here in São Paulo! Now I have the APR k04 software!!

    250hp on the wheel, with 41kgm of torque.

    I'm using the TT225 36lb/h injectors instead the for 4bar FPR.

    Graffics and videos later!

    Should be good I'd have thought..
    Give me some more days and I will give you those numbers!

    This weekend I'm going to a track day in Interlagos. Big boys are going to play there. I will scare them! haahah

    Can you get a photo/s up (possible without blur) of the whole car so you can see the ride height and the stance with the spacers in. It's a bit hard to tell actual height from the other photos. Reason i ask is because i'm getting H&R springs put in next weekend (for free ) and i'm umming and ahhing about spacers (10 or 15mm). Are yours 10mm?

    As for the spacers, have you had any rubbing with them on? the rear seems to be sitting quite low..
    I'm not using spacers, I had fabricated them, however the bolts become too short. I need to fabricate new bolts.

    The aluminum Hat (black piece, hold the rotor) it is 5mm wider them stock.
    The stock wheel offset is 38mm, my 18"'s have 42mm, considering the Hat as a piece of the wheel, in the end my new offset is 37mm.
    So, I'm using a 1mm spacer.

    No rubbing with this configuration..

    And what sort of top speeds would we be getting to?

    My friends! The car is amazing!


    The brakes are fantastic, I think I could move the tectonic plates, be aware of a possible earthquake!

    The turbo and intercooler are fantastic as well!

    The engine response is faster, the turbo is spooling faster and with less boost the car is much stronger them before. The power at hi-rpm’s is amazing, top speeds very easy to achieve.

    I remove the Festo valve, just to see the ECU try to control the turbo. It is making the boost go up and down, I need a better software! I will try the Festo valve tomorrow.

    Impressive! Go K04 and FMIC!
