New SM Intakes via group buy.

[DSilvaSport]

To save clogging up the actual for sale/group buy thread currently active, I've created this one for updates from people when they receive, fit, map theirs etc or questions.

Mine is currently in transit and I should be arranging mapping today with dan@ sjm, fitting in 10 days time, then mapping in 2 weeks (if space available).

 

[imprezaworks]

Be interesting to see results from other mappers

 

[scotiamr2t]

i await word back from my local mapper on what he thinks of the inlet. If its positive i will be buying and doing a back to back test of my standard car, inlet fitted and finally inlet mapped

I've already been in contact with RS TUNING and should be getting mine fitted and my Map tweaked to suit sometime in may. Can't get over atm too busy with fecking work!

Interested to see what Paul gets from it, I like his ocd when it comes to mapping.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Will see what mine can do with the cams and supercharger when I get back in about 5 months

 

[bashracing]

I have a few recent graphs from RS tuning and I'm fitting the manifold with 438 cams and ARP rod bolts so hoping for an increase of 25hp+ ish
we'll see.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Will be good to see what it does on 438's

What does it make now?

I have a graph of my car with a ktec induction kit, Scorpion cat back with janspeed ktec sports cat and a map from RS Tuning a few months ago so will get a direct comparison to what difference this will make!

Aww come on, there must be some numbers on that graph with those squiggly lines!

 

[bashracing]

this is before, smooooth like gravy,
But you can see past 5500rpm it's starting to struggle for breath

 

[Bear Head]

Mine with the mods mentioned in post a couple above. I'm hoping for about 193 upwards

Yep remember the chat we had exploded engines :wink:

 

[cliosportap]

wish to have good results for both of them
we are also curious for the results
esspecially for hard moded cars

It'll be interesting to see what filter setups people go for and which cams are best for use with the intake. From reading an old thread on the RS2 the 197 cams seemed to be quite popular to use with it.

 

[DSilvaSport]

My inlet arrived today and I have booked mapping at SJM Automotive for a few weeks time.

 

[Stay Puft]

Are you fitting it or Dan?

 

[DSilvaSport]

I'm fitting. I've spoken to Chris at EFi, I have to send my ECU to him to have the RSTuner map removed (which was a waste of time to begin with really, did nothing except ruin my already fine idle - contrary to popular folklore). I have an Autosolo in Farnborough on May 8th so the next day I'll be stripping, fitting then up to Dan a week later. Currently looking at which cone to get. Better get a list of jobs together and start a project thread.

 

[imprezaworks]

Be interested to see the figures he gets as memory serves he didn't like it

 

[DSilvaSport]

Yeah, I've toyed with the idea of going up north for it but its a bit of a mission and I've also come to see that a lot of race/car tuning/modifying etc. is experimental, you've got to take risks here and there, try new things out. Hopefully this will give Dan the opportunity to have a play, take some time and also assure people that it can be done down south.

I'm also interested in whether the changes made to the kit - 'we made a new design with an enlarged plenum (%30) 15mm longer and 3mm wider runners a new design middle flange' have a noticable effect.

 

[Stay Puft]

Yeah i'm excited to see results. One of the main issues is having to go up north, so hopefully Dan can work his magic. Definitely something i'd consider in the future.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Mine is here too, will test fit it tomorrow

 

[bashracing]

mine arrived today too

he had one for a while and basically slated it, it's the one i'm running on my phase 1. think he said it was on par with matched inlets?

Will that include a before and after rolling road printout?

Dont forget he wants to start selling rs2s so he aint going to like it lol. Be intresting what figures he gives

i take it they still aren't available yet?

Dunno aint heard anything or seen any tbh its a waste of time with these sm kits imo y pay a grand for less power mmmm

the sm group buy will of hit potential sales of the rs2 a fair bit.

I was getting the rs2 removed and up for sale but i think im going too take a huge hit?

45 it has bigger runners

deal!!

 

[masekwm]

Dan does road mapping so doesn't give a number.

Surprised how good they look with the RS printed on them. Good luck with the mapping

 

[melchy]

A quick question, even with a very early RSTuner does the ECU get locked? This isn't something I taken into consideration when I bought the Intake, I'd kind of assumed that I could just get it mapped. I take it I'd need to get the ECU unlocked before someone else will be able to map it?

My intake is currently sitting at the Post Office, I'll try and pick it up over the weekend.

 

[bloke]

yup, you can get it cleared and standard map back on.

 

[melchy]

yup, you can get it cleared and standard map back on.

So if I put the standard map back on via the RSTuner it will still be locked? I assume only specific people will have the ability to unlock it or will any mapper be able to unlock it?

still be locked, chris at efi can sort the ecu for you.

Just sent mine to Chris today. Post it off to him, include details and return address. £60 I think.
