[Turbo]

Hi,newbie here...care to share what is the difference between ATC and ASC.
ATC is to assist in launching(prevent wheel spin) while ASC is to assist in cornering?
and 0.9 bar max boost means in stock or still need abit of tuning to achieve that?otherwise,how much is the stock boost?
sorry if these questions are posted here before...but i still have doubts...
i had seen some dyno and get 0.8bar but drop to 0.6bar...iam confuse in this aspect...btw,teh stock turbo start spooling from how many rpm and stop at how much rpm?
sorry for so many questions asked...iam currently still waiting for my Rcolt to arrived...cheers...

[lovecolt]

I think what you just described on ATC & ASC is pretty spot on. But ATC isn't for launching, but more for poor grip condition.

0.9 bar max boost is its stock max boost. However, we normally only get 0.8 bar max. The additional 0.1 bar is its boost spike allowance.

Boost starts around 3000 rpm. But it starts dropping to the lower bar around 4 - 4.5k rpm.

Feel free to ask any other questions. I guess you are from Singapore ya?

yeah,iam from singapore...
so after 4.5k it will be Mivec in action?
if so,the peak power is at 6k rpm which means its the work of the Mivec instead of the turbo...the turbo only helps in the early torque???
any idea how much boost can the stock engine take up to?
thanks for your helpfullness,this is one cool forum...cheers...:)

Well, when mivec kicks in, that's the time when our max boost drops to around 0.5 to 0.6 bar and it will stay that way till redline. Hence, its really mivec and low boost turbo for the last 1/3 of the powerband.

As for how much boost it can take??? i doubt no one knows as there isn't even any highly modded example in Jap.

No problem with helping out. Do come back to the forum often ;)

so it will be Mivec turbo just like Vtec turbo...haha...
even though i did not post here,i will be reading the informations here...
but the downside is that it redline at pretty early,if only it could go longer....:(

[lovecolt]

Actually, the downside is really the lowered boost after the mivec kicks in. Otherwise, i don't mind the 6.5k rpm redline.

I think it should be: MIVEC let the engine perform better on high rev.
The engine can digest more air than the turbo can supply. That's why it is only on 0.5bar. If we remove the MIVEC, boost may climb up abit... but it may produce less power.

5Speed Gertrag Manual Transmission


Can anyone confirm if European Colt CZT's and Japan - Aus Colt Ralliart-R share the same transmission? European CZT also uses Getrag transmission. I will try to get some part numbers!
It would be nice to have the Cusco LSD possibility!!

I'm not sure about CZT, but Version R definitely gets Getrag 5 spd transmission.

[panaua]

Do you know the part numder of the turbo?
Is it Mitsubishi, garret or something else?

Have no idea as part numbers are not included in my workshop manual. I guess only if someone ever get the turbo out, or else it will still be a mystery for all ;)

Update on the CZT (Z73A): http://preview18.mediacluster.de/179/179

It is the last one 453 Getrag that CZT uses!

ANy ideas which one is Colt Ralliart-R's?

[27AME]

I'm getting a full exhaust + Manifold soon so I will have a look at the turbo when I get it out :)

That i would have no idea, unless its imprinted on the gearbox itself. Maybe will check out next time when its put on hoist.

[lovecolt]

Ralliart Colt (Z27ag) comes with NGK Iridium Spark plugs with heat range of 7. Pretty good stuff from stock if you ask me.

[kenmical]

Hi,

I am from Spore. Just test drove a Version R or Colt Ralliart and liked it instantly.

But there are a few questions before I proceed to book the car:

1) Local distributor onli brings in CVT version. How reliable is CVT?
2) Compared to Manual how much differences? (Mod potential, horses it can withstand etc.)
3) Top speed of 180kmH is kinda weak as my current car can hit 210kmH. Can I do anything to speed cut the ride?
4) Upboost: With stock turbine, how much can i safely upboost?
5) Any good aftermarke ECU (piggyback or standalone) to recommend?
6) Is it true that manufacture stated 150bhp but the auto torque convertor will sap up some power and hence a lower to wheel power output?

Do look forward to the replies of experience bros / sis here.

Cheers

[lovecolt]

Welcome fellow Singaporean ;) Will try to answer your question as much as i can over here



1) Local distributor onli brings in CVT version. How reliable is CVT?
You can try parallel import which is what most Singaporean owner do for the manual version. Pity Aus don't get CVT version, hence only Singapore owners on this site or mydc3 forum can give you a better advise.
2) Compared to Manual how much differences? (Mod potential, horses it can withstand etc.)
As far as i'm aware, CVT in stock is already detuned from the manual version. Mod potential is definitely lower. Even for the Greddy FMIC, is specified for manual version (stated CVT version might have problem) Hence, go figure the mod potential between the 2.
3) Top speed of 180kmH is kinda weak as my current car can hit 210kmH. Can I do anything to speed cut the ride?
Isn't there like a electronic device from Pivot or Greddy that can uncut the limit?? Sorry, not much help here as our speedometer in our RColt goes to 240kmph.
4) Upboost: With stock turbine, how much can i safely upboost?
I think might be around 1.5 bar. Some singapore owner's rcolt has already gone up pass the 200 kw mark.
5) Any good aftermarke ECU (piggyback or standalone) to recommend?
At the moment, it seems only Unichip and Harmony in this forum's ecu reflash has done it. Ecutek is on the hold till about early next yr and Mitsiman of this site's coming up with Haltek. Therefore, might have to be abit patient on this ;)
6) Is it true that manufacture stated 150bhp but the auto torque convertor will sap up some power and hence a lower to wheel power output?
No idea :p Singapore guys...help here??


Do you know about mydc3 site? Its a Singapore dedicated colt site. Here's the link: http://dc3.ipbhost.com/index.php

hi bros

anyone could point me to the right website that states Rcolt comes with ATC?? Active Traction Control...trying to access to such info...besides Ralliart Australia website...

hi bros

anyone could point me to the right website that states Rcolt comes with ATC?? Active Traction Control...trying to access to such info...besides Ralliart Australia website...

From www.ralliart.com.au:

It is packed with other features, including:

Active Traction Control (ATC), an intelligent system that electronically senses if one wheel is losing traction and then sends extra power to the other wheel, keeping you moving.

Thanks mate. I read about that...been have been browsing other review websites...so far none mentions about ATC...

I gotten hardcopy brochures of our rcolt and also euro civic type R..our japanese brochures did not mention about ATC...

If let's say its true we do have such a feature,i must say...our ride does not lost out to the type r hatch cos both cars are very well equipped with Stability Assists/Controls, EBD, Brake Assists, etc..In fact, if we are to put on LSD, it would be a near perfect FWD car...;)

[kermit]

i'm saving up for the LSD :)

[aby82]

the traction control is actually a part of the Active Stability Control "ASC" program.. - do any of the brochures mention ASC??

[ColtVerR]

hi aby

the brochures only mention ASC features...just thought that since both ATC and ASC have different functions, wouldnt it be more marketable if the Japs and other review forums mention both separately??:confused: 3

ya..Im saving for LSD too..gunning for the 1.5 way with bearings...:rolleyes:

hey mate :)

so r u sayin o'seas specs don't mention ATC and ASC seperately like this http://ralliart.com.au/RalliartVehicles/ColtTurbo.aspx ??

if thats the case then yeah they should be marketing both aspects because they're both features that r pretty important :D

Ya..bingo...the Jap brochures handed out to me early last year only indicated ASC/EBD...not as precise as the ralliart OZ website..If only we have LSD as standard feature, that would be great...one of the better FWD handling R series car...;)

[kenmical]

Hi guys,

Have any of u gotten the facelift Rcolt? Wanna check how heavy or light the FL stock rim really is. Mitsu claimed that it is 1.5kg lighter than pre-FL version.

[lovecolt]

We are still selling our 06' stock :( But its almost all sold now. Hence 08 model should be here soonish.

[panaua]

Sorry if it has posted again..Does the rcolt use canbus or no?

[Macca]

Sorry if it has posted again..Does the rcolt use canbus or no?
YES it does

( i needed to type it does cause the forum didnt want my spam post of less than 5 characters)

[ralli06]

I am very interested to see if LSD makes a big difference to the ATC as both operate in the same manner.
I wanted a XR6 Turbo, the wife wanted a Holden SV6 WE BOUGHT a Holden S, the very last of them Holden were doing deals- now we were told we got LSD the SV6 had it so supposedly did the S but said the salesman on the older model you can turn off the traction control where there is no off button on the SV6. Fact- No limited slip and the traction control was a nightmare! All it did was reduce torque/power till the tyres got grip, it rains here a lot and in mud the thing would just stop if you had 1 wheel off the road or tried to drive on anything slick, honestly just stop. I thouroghly tested the Colt in slipery stuff and it''s set up was very different always having traction and power.(the money I lost on the dunnydoor would have bought my RColt):(

Here is what the stock BOV looks like internally

Looks like the greddy type rs bov

[Macca]

why did someone cut it in half HAHA

[lovecolt]

why did someone cut it in half HAHA

All for the purpose of scienific research :D

[why_bother]

I think you'll find that all BOV's are fundamentally the same dude, there's no reason to have cut up your plastic one :)

[lovecolt]

Correct.

For everyone's info, i didn't cut mine up :D Its found on some japanese rcolt owner blog :)

[why_bother]

nice save, no one will ever know it was you.. blame the interweb!

[Frogman]

It's a diaphragm type and not a piston type

[ommeh]

Wrong BOV are not all the same.

They do the same thing BUT they do it differently.

Our stock one is the same style as a HKS SSQV using a diaphram. The turbosmart and GFB ones are piston style BOV's.
