That dont give to much away :whistling:

thats what i was thinking :wtf:

 

[Dirtmatt]

lol.. all very hush hush and think I should start by saying how good the service was, the car was booked in to be done yesterday and Ant said they would have it finished yesterday - turns out that meant it was only coming off the rollers at about 8 pm complicaiton with another customers car, but still they worked late to get it done!! cant fault that.

start with the problems, lambda is on its way out so will have to replace that, plugs as well but got a new set from Ant which I will gap and fit them over the weekend) can push 1.7bar of boost then if I so wish.

It pulled a few back to back runs at 415bhp @1.65, the last run was slightly less at 409bhp. Still pleased with the results as the car made solid power with a good curve (will get the graphs up) Can tell the difference in the map - car is ten times better to drive. Smooth strong power delivery, and should be nice and reliable Should even see some better mpg's as the previous map was rich.

time to make the most of it and plan where to go next

[Dirtmatt]

haha.. its only a short drive from flint mate

its handy them being on the door step.

 

[And@fcm]

What's the cars spec? As that's alot of power for 1.65 bar

 

[Dirtmatt]

All the better as the plugs were shot, took them out today and there wasn't much life in them. Does mean I can up the boost to 1.7bar

Mods wise it's stage one
Magnex catback and decat..stock hks downpipe
Unknown turbo elbow
Walbro pump, fse pressure reg
Hks hard pipes, Godspeed intercooler.
Hks cams
Fp green
Pipercross filter

And a few other small tweaks

 

[Dirtmatt]

just looking into the power thing, ie transmission power loss! Ant said 21% but sure on the MLR is 25%

big difference in the flywheel power when using the 25% extra 15bhp!!

 

[And@fcm]

when you gonna post the graph?

doesn't his dyno measure the gearbox loss on the run down? so you'll have a true estimate of the gearbox loss. You can ignore the 25% correction this is just people trying to get a bigger number for the pub talk.
