Hi
With much help from Vortech, John Cooper Honda and Tuning Japanese the car is running well and getting 12.2:1 air:fuel at high rpm. It is also pulling well at low revs and at the start of the boost curve which was a previous problem. I am running a Mugen Pressure plate, Helix disc and a Mugen sump as well as all the Mugen cooling bits. The pictures tell the story:
Tim and Ike of Tuning Japanese in the roller bay (one of about 4-5 visits to set this up)


The engine bay (note position of FMU)


The final dyno chart from todays road and roller session


We are running the 12:1 FMU set-up rather than the 10:1 to get extra fuel which is needed at higher rpm. I am also using an APEX-i VAFC for fuel tuning only. This is running on Shell Optimax and special NGK Racing plugs on a cooler rating with recessed tips. These will need changing every 3-6,000 miles. It runs very well in this setting and keeps cool - also its great fun. Any people in UK or Europe who are looking at the Vortech kit then please join in this post with questions - I'll do my best to answer them.

See you soon

what tyre and wheel sizes have you upgraded to - I am assuming you will not be running stock wheels and tyres

 

BLOODY HELL!!

NIce one Cameron!

 

Yeah, very impressive, but have you changed to clear side indicators ?

 

Holy $hite ! Very impressed !

I don't know if you want to answer this question, but do you know how much is cost ?

I'm no car buff, what does that mean in plain english, what does it do to performance, whats the risks, does it de-value the car and whats it cost you to do?

Personally i dont see the point of modifying an already brilliant motorcar

 

Frickin' Hell!!
