new turbo's fitted

So has it ever been sorted?

Not by cc.
Srs thread says it all. I hope it works for you if you go that way.

Can we clear a few things up:

We have no problem tuning any S4 or any other car for that matter; with Custom-Code Phase 3 we require accurate logs and data from our agent’s so we can re-tune the car for optimum performance and safety.

As Unit 20 did not have the correct hardware to data log the vehicle so we could not re-tune, this is why it was coming to us for tuning, basically so it could be finished and finalised. But when we get the vehicle here and there are hardware issues and various problems it’s obviously very difficult / impossible to tune. At which point we must ask for the vehicle to be returned in a map able state.

This is being done the exactly the same with Formula One’s Audi S4 with K03 hybrid’s – We send a base file that they can use, the vehicle gets logged and information reported back to us, the file gets re-tuned and more logs and information is passed. This process is repeated until Custom-Code, the agent and the customer are happy with the final results.

We have tired to get in contact with Darren, just to find out what is going on and to arrange to get the car back up to us for final tuning but with no avail!

At Custom-Code we are more than happy to solve any customer problems and make sure that every car we tune is to the best possible standards and also on a safe level.

Darren, we would be very interested to know how you are getting on and if there is anything we can do to help.

Please feel free to give us a call on 01246 455004.

Kind Regards

Custom-Code Team.

Now you want to help. Next you'll deny saying you wouldn't Carry out further work on my car.

sounds like the mandelson pr team at cc has swung into action...

Im not going to get involved in the politics of issue's that customers are having with other dealers/custom-code hq,all i know is that my audi is driving better than it ever has done although it now seems to like drinking a lot more than it did

Anyway if anyone would like to have a ride in my car (i even might let you drive it) then please p.m me or call us.

This map has truely transformed my car it is very strong all through the rev range,i figure i will have to put a clutch in it at some stage but i consider these to be a service item anyway (amazingly its still on the original at 135k)

The next plans for the car are a milltek and maybe a bmc cda as we have seen good improvments on 225bhp audi/seats.

People that know me (i hope) will tell you that i tend to be tooo honest sometimes, much to the detrament of my businesses bank account.

I really didnt want to start an arguement on here, as previously posted choice is important in all walks of life, but i feel sometimes that people seem to think that because a newish company is trying to do something a little different that means that they will utimately fail, because someone else says that they will!

Well done I am genuinely please for you and that you are pleased. It's certainly not a case of expecting people to fail or even wishing it upon others. I don't think you are doing anything radical as it happens.

You'll need to get it on the rollers F1! Yours is pulling the same MAF readings as my K04'd S4 and I registered 415bhp on a Dyno Dynamics machine.

Very impressive figure for all that standard stuff. And thousands of pounds cheaper than my set up too!

Yes looks good. Interesting as when I was looking at K03/K04 hybrid it appeared to be a bit of an urban myth. Who did the hybrids for you? Are they built on a K03 shaft or K04 shaft?

Hiya

Ok the turbo's are based on k03 shafts with k04 compressors they are available through us but are made by turbo dynamics.
Car will be on some local rollers in the next few weeks just to see the actual bhp!

Now that is interesting. I remember speaking with TD in the past and they said they didn't do them. Any idea how much the shaft speed is reduced using the K04 compressor wheel? Would be very interesting to see the RR results. I would have thought it would be suffering from back-pressure top end. Well done if you make the magic 400.

Ok have spoken to td about your question they have said that the shaft speed would be lower but considering ive turned the boost up it hasnt really made any difference,they firgure it might spin upto 10k rpm slower with the same boost!

Anywhoo here's a pic of how it looks this morning,brakes and arb's to be fitted next!



Will try and get an appointment on the rollers next week!

Why would you expect these turbos to suffer back-pressure if the impellor isn't turning any faster?

As mentioned, last weekend I got 415bhp on the rollers with a similar MAF reading (infact mine may be lower). I think with standard intercoolers F1's car will be struggling to reach that sort of figure, but I think the point he's trying to prove is how much power he can get on the otherwise standard setup, not how much power can he get from these hybrids (which quite clearly do exist) full stop.

I don't see a reason why he couldn't achieve exactly the same power/torque figures as mine if he fits uprated intercoolers, injectors and a fuel pump.

All I know is, he will be one happy man when he puts his foot down, regardless of the bhp it's pushing out!

Enjoy F1!

Ok guys we have had the car rolling roaded and the figures are differcult to work out because its at the wheels not fly + all rolling roads are relitive i guess!
Also the printout shows a dip in the power torque which is not noticable on the road!
We should have hooked up vag-com and taken the readings when it was on the rollers but alas we didnt think of it!

Anyway im fairly happy with the results but am bemused by the graph tbh,
The car will continue to be developed as we feel there is more to be had yet!

[MGR]

Whats the benefit of these hybrid turbos ? Are they much cheaper ? Why would this be a good option compared to a K04 for instance ?

275 at the wheels. Thats quite a lot of power. 225 at the wheels translates to about 290 bhp in a 4wd so 275 is pretty good.

My BMW makes 275 at the wheels which is interesting, I wonder which would be quicker....

The Audi will be. Simple
