Power drops off quick after 5250 RPM ?
Was this done this week as I had my car on the rollers on Saturday in 23 deg heat and it did the same thing to you in dropping off more than last time so this may be down to the hot weather ???

Yes but not at first as I was thinking it would be over 310 BHP and the peak gain was only 8 BHP but the heat was robbing a fair few BHP and the torque and every where in the graph apart from the peak was up a nice bit .
Looking at 4000 rpm only it was on the old set up 160 BHP now 220 BHP (+...
Took the car to Surrey rolling road on Saturday in there new Farnborough address for a run more to check the AFR and boost after turning up the boost last week .
I was the only one booked in after Charlie had a few cancelations in the morning so had a good chat about the car and how he was...
Yeah look better but they give around a 30 % more light output due to the reflector and clear lens so not just for the looks as the std lights on the MR2 are sh*t .

Yes you can see the difference .
Did it make the ride much firmer as at the mo with stock shocks ( Bilstein ) it is firm enough with that so not to sure if any firmer would suit me .
Alan
Was this at Yapton or on the A29 ?
Yes I will let you know what she does might be over 300 BHP at a guess .
Will be good to see what the new place is like for the next Clio sport rolling road day too .
Alan
Thanks mate yes it is fun .
How did you find the BC coilovers ?
This is next on the list after breaks but im not sure to keep with a new set of stock shocks ?
Alan

All done up and heat shield back on .

Last update .
I was not over happy with the silver heat reflective wrap and after reading a few things was told that this would not be the best move as it may trap the heat in the cold intercooler pipe .
After some advise I ordered some DEI gold tape as this will reflective about 80 % of the...
