Looking good. Excited to see how this one turns out!
Ollie's Silver Cup
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I've now driven a good couple of hundred miles with the RS2 fitted and, as per my short comment yesterday, absolutely brilliant. I'm hugely impressed; particularly when considering that the car, at present, is running the completely standard Renault map.
It feels as though the usable power has been nicely spread throughout the entire rev range, giving the feeling that it'll just pull and pull and pull.
After picking it up from JMS yesterday, I immediately found a nice section of country lane to give it some beans. It seem to pick up pace so much quicker and smoother; the muffled intake noise is also a much welcomed and appreciated bonus!
Then, driving home down the M25 and M1. Cruising along the motorway in fifth I noticed that it was so much easier to simply squeeze the accelerator a little to effortlessly overtake; rather than, as often before, dropping down a gear.
I'm also, of course, very happy with the high quality of the product and the neatness of the installation. I think Tom really has made a very impressive package/kit with regards the RS2; to someone wanting noticeably more performance out of their RS, yet wants to retain the OE drivability and electronics, I would highly recommend getting in touch with the guys at JMS.
Tom and James were also both very helpful and informative, as well as being highly enthusiastic about the product they're selling; which always gives a good impression.
So, some 'proper' photos. I've given the engine bay a bit of a clean; it's looking tidier, especially the tanks, hoses, etc. I just need to spend a bit more time cleaning the rocker covers, before giving it a coat of paint.

I think I'll be going with the crackle black; I feel it'll go better with the black hoses and colour scheme on the RS2.
Hopefully I'll get this sorted before CSS. The rocker cover actually looks more dirty in the photos than in real life; honest! lol!

looks tidy mate
The standard ECU is a very good bit of kit, although not optimised yet im not suprised it feels good - even when I itb'd mine it ran ok on the standard map, and the ecu managed to adjust enough to keep it safe.

Looks quite nice, will look much better when it's all painted

Thanks for the comments! I'm very pleased with it; I think Tom and James have done a great job.
I'm hoping to get the painting (and the fitting of the nimbus heatshield) done sooner rather than later; in time for CSS would be a bonus.
I want the loud exhaust gone, as intake noise is so much better! :evil:

It's obviously not loud enough then in that airbox
KTR supersport here with no silencer and decat, and yet still all you can hear is pure induction :rasp:

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
It's been on the cards to go for a while actually.
I love how it sounds when giving it some, but, sadly that doesn't make up for how it drones on the motorway.
It never used to bother me, but I think as I'm growing up a bit, I'd sooner go for a quiet option; BTB or Yozza stealth.

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
looks lovely Ollie, just need to paint the rocker cover a crackled black or something like a Ferrari engine.
Look forward to seeing this at CSS

It will very much be crackle black paint to the rescue of the tired looking rocker cover!

glad your pleased with the rs2 oli. nice little write up too.
the crackle paint will finish the bay off nicely.

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
We're holding fire on mapping for the time being.
Once it's been established whether it's worthwhile going to the expense of putting the cams in too (depending on the results of some calibration work) that'll be sorted and the mapping will follow. :approve:

Everytime I look at your car I think it can't get any better! But you keep pulling things out the bag!!
As i've said a number of times before I love this car

hmmm I still think it will be changed for something less intrusive. Sometimes it would be nice to have a nice quiet drive without the loud exhaust note.
Thanks, mate!

Any update on the wobble situation; I imagine the gearbox is close to arriving?
No update as yet, gearbox is on order from Renault, they quoted 7 - 10 days so hopefully arrive end of this week, early next, I just pray that it solves the issue!

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Originally, the cams were due to be fitted at the same time as the RS2.
However, there's currently another car in the process of having that setup calibrated; iirc it already had 428's fitted, then added an RS2.
After discussing with Tom, I'm going to wait until calibration of this car is complete in order to see whether it's worth going to the expense of installing the cams alongside the intake. If the 428's only show a marginal increase over just the RS2, then I won't be pursuing the fitting of them any further.
I'm hoping that the calibration shows strong gains with the cams; however, if it's not the case, I won't be too bothered now as the RS2 is hugely impressive on it's own!

Just done my inlet manifold with the same VHT wrinkle paint, result was ace! well chuffed with it. Just have to be patient with it. Word of warning though, if you bake it in the oven - open as many windows as poss, my mums house smelt rank for a while! lol

Good luck getting your engine in the Oven Oliver LOL
As a matter of interest how do you plan on heating the crinkle paint, Heat Gun?
