The least original Iceberg 172 ever! (Plenty of pics)

[Stay Puft]

It's pulled 183bhp and 170bhp before at SRR, so I would say it's above average?

Hoping to break 190bhp, but might be optimistic, most people I've seen with 438s that have broken the 190bhp mark have matched inlets, a decat, and AC deletes etc. But I have standard inlets, a sports cat, and AC intact!

Ultimately, it feels good to drive, and revving to 7800rpm is awesome, so I'm very happy.

183? That's high! It's my first time getting it dyno'd so hopefully it's something near yours! Engine is standard though apart from fatty and catback exhaust.

183 snap. Probably why I enjoy the car so much

Yours has been mapped though! I wish there was an EFI or RSTuning down south so I could get mine done

 

[imprezaworks]

It has yeah. Pulled 176 before iirc.

Mine was standard when I got 183bhp, can't say how real that number was really, but other standard cars were getting 165-170bhp, which sounds about right.

Decat and filter was my only mods. It's the way it drives rather than numbers.

Today was the day with the South Central group, we headed over to Surrey Rolling Road for some Dyno fun.
I'm a little heartbroken, but optimistic...

All clean and ready to roll

Here was my graph...

And here was the issue...

Dan said it would likely need a second visit to get the map finalised, so now booked in to see him on the 13th and clean up that top end!

 

[Stay Puft]

Not the best result but the car looked great! Fair play it being your daily, too.

 

[debussetti]

I'm confident it will be improved and fingers crossed there's another 10bhp in there...

It's happened in past that really strong standard engines have had cams fitted then lost power.

The fueling looks same as @Christopher. result after being mapped by Dan@SJM. I think you need to be mapping on a dyno not road mapping like Dan does.

This was my car Before (Top) and After (bottom) of having SJM's Cam package installed. The AFR you see on the bottom we eventually found out (and also Dan backed this up) was due to it being mapped on a faulty O2 sensor. Dan took it back immediately and spent A LOT of time road tuning it and couldn't find any faults at all. His equipment was showing it to be absolutely safe. Too back that up i then spent the best part of 6 Months driving it around without any issues what so ever.

Sadly my engine had slowly started to destroy itself until it started drinking oil.

Plus side I spent a bit of time dicking around with my RS Tuner and manged to turn off my EML light from my sports cat, and the air bag lights, so that's a win!

Hope you get the map sorted. I expect there will be another SRR day August/September time.

I'm local to SRR so I may pop back another time.

Just read from start, great car!
Recently picked up an Iceberg 172 and will be coming back to this when I need inspiration
