Got my car back, mapped, exhaust, H&R's

[Big Iain]

H&R's look very high at the back. looks good though

 

[Neil G]

Looks good

 

[BallisticKhunt]

H&R's look very high at the back. looks good though

That's how it should be on a FWD car, low at the front, high at the back.

 

[Big Iain]

^^well done sherlock, I said very high as is in could go lower, obviously he will get them properley set up like everyone else though!!!

 

[gareth3685]

Whats the exhaust like? Any chance of an audio clip? Presume its the newer version of the stealth?

 

[Weeman]

I've got 4 grand and a bag of pork scratchings if you'll sell it to me

 

[fmp_]

[R20 CWH]

looks guid. needs vids tho

 

[Peperami]

Lazyman's shortcut IMO

i dont think the insurance assessors would be to impressed either if anything was to happen

I thought you needed to cut the slam panel in order to run the correct sized trumpets anyway? And get enough air in? :S

 

[BenR]

you'll be loosing some low down torque due to the short overall inlet length, coupled with a tiny bellmouth which leads to a stronger refractive pulse due to quicker cross sectional change.

Then there are heat issue with the rad infront.

 

[TheJesus]

are those Webber boddies???

 

[BenR]

webcon

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Whats the best place for trumpets ben?
Gota get the grinder out for the front slam panel to get some decent ones fitted.

 

[BenR]

Hard one, as they are not your traditional bolt on trumpets.

 

[Batman]

is it hard to fit throttle bodies? i would like to do them myself well have a go

 

[George k]

Mike, what cams did you fit?

 

[matty w]

he's got standard ones cause he brought them off me

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Well, its all done now and yes its ok but I'm rather disapointed with it to be honest.
178 bhp and 140-150 torque, drives lovely and sound great but I did expect more power.
I'm glad I dont do this for retail customers as I'm at a loss as to why its not pushing more bhp and torque.
Mapping is as best as it can be so its not that.
Maybe I'm expecting to much.

Next thing when I have saved saved some cash is Audi/VW BAM engine and box, at least its gona push 225bhp standard.

 

[ja.jack]

must be that second hand cams.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

If only it was, tried cat cams and standard.

 

[fUbAr]

thats dissapointing mike... can it be the rollers at fault?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I doubt it very much, less than a year old dyno dynamics.
Drives like it reads mate.

 

[fUbAr]

hmm...

ah well, it sounds lovely! :approve:

 

[Ali]

christ...Mine made 190+ without cams or tb's!!! More to come me thinks!

 

[portal172]

COuld it be the size and diameter of the trumpets? They look too small.

 

[RSTuning]

Don't forget Mike they give an "accurate" reading. And can sometimes be very tight.

[George k]

Probably a question for Ben R - is this a case for vernier pulleys and different IP and EP?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I've given up on it now anyway, happy with how it drives just wish it had more power.
Not doing anything else to it now.

 

[Ricardinho]

yeh i felt the same when i had it done, had different readings though, one was a bit over 190bhp

 

[Ricardinho]

does it feel faster than my cup? when it had them on?

 

[Graham Gooch]

Well I love the look of it!

 

[Martin]

hmmm those are poo results....don't give up though, try to get to the bottom of it.

 

[franx]

get a tweeky for your map, must be set wrong ?!

 

[Rich_16v]

Certainly disappointing figures, as said don't give up on it

Are you still running the air con rad?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

AC rads gone.
Rich, feels about the same to be honest. Feels like its got loads more to go at the bottom end of the rev range, it seems fine higher up. My old man said its gona be great on track but crap for normal use, he is a bit of a petrol head

Anyway got the airfeild day and a trip to the ring coming up so should be fun, after that I have something else planned for it and I'm gutted I didnt do it in the 1st place.

 

[Fred@BTM]

mike there's a trumpet + airfilter setup available mike

i'll dig out the details

 

[Mike@Rentech]

got this to go in it later on

Just hope I can get some of the money I have spent back from selling the engine/box/bodies and so on once the swops done. Dont matter about the time I spent on it was educational for me.

 

[Fred@BTM]

at least you can keep the emerald

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Hey Fred hows the V6 throttle bodie conversion going?
