Boost Increase tomorrow

[R220]

Hi,

Well my car is booked in at Rogue Motorsport for a bit of work tomorrow.. nothing major, just a new alternator belt and a check over of the suspension as i have a few dodgy sounds lately. Mostly though will be the boost increase im having done. 10psi upto 14psi... doesnt really sound like much but apparently its the best mod you can do on the rev2's without spending mucho £££.

Anyone else had this done on their Rev 1 or 2 ?

Kind of looking forward to it..

Very cheap too (£32 for parts and about an hour labour).

Not used to having a 25-30bhp increase for <£80 i must admit !

14PSI on a Rev2

Thats got to be pretty close to the limit.

err probly my mistake, is it 13 psi ? its only a 30 gain and from what i have read these engines are fine upto 290bhp before running out of fuel / metling pistons.

14.5 = 1 BAR

Well just been scouring IMOC again and theres tons of posts about 15psi being safe on rev1 + 2... people seem to have problems at 17+psi on the ct26.

After having my Rev3 for nearly a year I have pretty much forgotten about Rev1/2's. Whens fuel cut kick in?

13psi FC iirc.

See this post for example -

so the cut is at 13, and you're gonna run 14?

Factory cut is at 13 yes (Toyota like to play it very safe).. *strokes fuel cut defender*

1bar is 14.5psi though, you will be hitting the fuel cut if it really is at 13psi.

Hence the FCD, it removes the factory cut to a setting of your choice.

Ill let you know how it goes later anyway

Just a quick reply as im going out now... had the increase done. Hits 1 Bar and does indeed drop back after 6k rpm to around 0.8 bar... but thats typical for the ct26.

So how does it feel... FAST Have never felt a 5th gear feel like a 3rd before. Sticks you to your seat when it comes on boost... before it just felt like a slight bump in power.
