40 bhp up is nothing to be shy about, and peak figures only tell part of the story. I might have thought that torque would have improved a little better than that but I bet it still drives well now! I'm up 30-35 bhp with similar mods but without cams.
What was the issue causing the kangarooing in the end?
Na tuning is very expensive but also very rewarding. Dont focus on the numbers as thats what gets most people down.
Focus on how it drives and imagine you didnt have any numbers, what would you think of car now ?
Ive often walked out of place after mapping not knowing the numbers as forgot to even aak for dyno sheet. I just wanted car to be safe and drive how i wanted it.
Still under investigation, I recall that the wiring on this sensor was adapted and extended to fit the RRC although it's a guess they haven't really looked at over the weekend although will be looked at first thing in the morning
No mate investigating it, I was got. Call yesterday telling me it's a Monday morning jobby.... But did ask what works I had done which could give possible rise to the issue so the above is a possible wait n see
Ok so got the car back was told that there was an issue with the map a glitch of sorts
So it was put to standard and then the map added again drove perfectly collected yesterday
This morning on the way from work this problem has manifested itself again now mainly in 3rd and occasionally in 4th gear
If below 3000rpm and I boot it In them gear the car judders and then smooths out once the revs start picking up, definitely feels like a fuelling issue I'm really stumped now , is it the intake manifold, a map sensor , injectors ? I have no idea now
Would an ECU reset help ? Injector cleaner? A good ragging ? Blocked sports cat I just dunno
Is this normal for u lads who are running similar setup
Some recommended I get RDX Injectors but again il have to map
Yes mate contacted them I can't take it in earlier than 6th may
I'm going to try and clean the MAF with some contact cleaner and try the ECU relearn procedure to see if it helps and run through some injector cleaner. Nothing to lose
It's been a mighty expensive process, I'm a little miffed that the MAF needed rescaling, wouldn't this have been done during the initial mapping session where they spent a good deal of time with the car hmmmm
Exactly my thoughts mate , it runs like an absolute dream now pick up is immense so much more composed, them poly mounts have tightened things up. The uprated injectors also made a difference
I won't lie I was disappointed that these things weren't picked up straight away, but I'm glad it's all done
What would you think your total lay out is to get your car this far. Gives an idea to people on here or who join looking to carry this type of modifications and what they could potentially be spending.
Mate in the thousands easily if I factor In labour aswell
My best advice would be to get the japspeed manifold, catback and an intake, perhaps a 200 cel CAT from magnex (I had zero issue with MOT), These mods alone with a remap your looking at just under 2k ! This will give you superb midrange gains
In all honesty the extras I've done beyond that improve Performance
that bit more and power stays consistent not dropping off
Spend the money on brakes & suspension perhaps a stage 1 clutch and go FI , that's what I should have done
