The RS2 is showing some decent torque there.
Chip, a better graph pic is needed! Lol
Standard inlet dies on its arse at 6500 and makes you have to change gear mid bend sometimes as a result of the peaky delivery IME, the gearbox isnt close enough to keep it on the boil.After having an RS2 fitted I think it just detracts from the way the car should be which is 'peaky'
I felt it just stole peak torque to give it to lower in the rev range, I couldn't see it's uses as these things are in the power band when in use, for e.g I would rather have dr jekyl's graph than tim's as I find it a more useable power for my uses.
I like your nail varnish Chip.
Thanks. I only wear it at weekends. I dress straight during the week for work.

RS2 tails off too @ 6500rpm but from a lower peak torque. I just think the higher torque figure in the area that is used when on the boil is more beneficial with the standard inlet.... especially with supporting mods. In general the standard inlet has the RS2 on level pegging and beaten above 4k, my car just felt broken (flat) when I had it on.
My opinion is based on use on track, no denying they look tarty though which is what drew me in initially.
No idea why I can't make it bigger than this.
438 Cams.
Milltek Decat.
Matched Inlets.
Ktec Induction Kit
MWM Remap.
How much of that is RS2 and how much is the supporting mods in that example. No mine was never mapped I just let it self learn over a while (not ideal) but it got better from a running point of view every time I had it out initially.
I just found it of no benefit on a lap round KH over my standard car where as cammed cars had the edge on me.
Bit off topic but how the hell do i upload a pdf ? Only have my graph in that format
No wonder it didnt drive right! As it will NEVER self learn to add in a load of extra fuel at high rpm. So you wouldnt have been getting anything like the benefits that you would if it was mapped.
What you did was the equivalent in mapping terms of if I fitted some AST and then didnt get my tracking or camber setup and then said they were rubbish!
It really does, bare in mind Ive mapped a few of these now, so am not guessing like you!I did say it wasn't ideal in my post although mapping it wasn't going to make a night and day difference imo
you could feel it going lean and the engine note change but only for circa 500rpm. I realised for the spend it was pointless for my use and sacked it off.
I dont know ANYONE who has had one mapped properly and then says that on track they would sooner have a standard manifold!Most people seem happy with them for their use which is fair enough although guys who have raced and tracked them tend to agree with me, including you
Mapping on my rs2 made night and day difference IME. Felt hideous before hand.
Well mine needed quite a bit of work to the map as the first run had to be aborted as it started running way too lean....
It also ran like s**t before it was mapped.
