Punching the air and shouting "WOOOOOO" iirc.
That was good reading Chip, thanks for that
I was at Surrey RR at the beginning of this year and from speaking to Charlie and reading what I've read on here his is the only dyno I'll be using. Seems to give very fair results that aren't covered in BS horsepower numbers!
Im planning on building an engine at the end of next year if funds allow as a bit of fun. So if an RS2 comes up at the right price at the right time I'll more than likely go for that and see what I can make. Like you said earlier in the thread, good fun pushing an engine you don't 'need' as such
Last question for now, promise! Does the stock ECU have enough scope for making changes on say a high comp/RS2/197 cam'd engine or would I need aftermarket?
Sorry Dan, cluttering up the thread
No worries, It provides nice detail for people to read IMO
I'd say the stock ecu would be able to cope with it well enough, Chip and Mikes mapping of the RS2 is epic IMO.
Depends who you went to, personally I only charge an extra £50 ontop of the belt change.
Personally I would. I know other people out there would Happily use a belt again. for the sake of £100 comapred to £1000 if it fails.
Even if you reuse the belt the labour would still be the same as if you had a new one. Still has to come apart.

Will cope fine mate, just avoid 421s or hotter as the intake pulses leave the ecu confused due to the fact it's using Manifold Absolute Pressure as its main load sensor in the fuelling algorithm. You need to swap from this speed vs density setup to speed vs throttle angle for big cams no matter if its on standard inlet or an rs2. 438 I would expect to be ok as they are timed differently but I've not actually tried them on an rs2 personally.
Yes £350 fitting, cams can be had for less than £100. And mapping after.
172 cup RS2 - 330ci
So about £750 all in, would be nice to get it close to the 200 bhp mark. This is the car's power at the moment -
Potentially. the 197 cams really help top end, like mine was still making power when it was pinging off the limiter.
Small update, solid top mounts fitted last night. They are the compbrake ones, which according to here will make my rear wheel fall off and give my mum the flu. TBH I've had compbrake ones on my LCR with no issues of them loosening off, so I'm not that worried.
Old setup:
Cleaned, fitted, and ready to go on..
Must admit, the drive home was alot harder than it used to be, and the turn in has certainly improved. Just waiting for my camber bolts to arrive to be able to set it up properly.

Little present for the F4R, mainly so it doesn't go bang when on the rollers.
Being fitted this afternoon as we have no work in(onless some parts have arrived for a customers car)

Whichever has fuel
Was it Silk? Were you smoking a Cigar? Were bitches led all over your gaff?
Was towelling, I only smoke tyres, and Lesley probably wouldnt take kindly to me filling the place with bitches.
FLOL, I certainly had a different idea in my head when you said you work from home lol
Well, While waiting for a customer to turn up to collect her car, I got mine in to do the ARP's.
All others done, Got some camber bolts to fit and fitted a new ballast today aswell as the passenger one started playing up.

Drove this at the weekend - combination of the RS2 and 197 cams is eeary - It pulls hard from low revs, but where as in a standard car it pulls ok, then comes the 'kick', and you get the usual tail off, this doesn't have a kick - it just pulls, then pulls, then pulls some more lol. It is so weird, it has the best of both worlds - the bottom end of a large CC engine (How a V8 would deliver it's power) combined with the top end of a small high revving engine - with no change is power delivery.
Definately suprised me! Oh, and power wise it pulls VERY well! (Must be the good mapping )

Glad you approve mate
I'm pretty happy with how its turned out TBH
Did require a lot of patience from Dan though, basically ended up taking about a month in the end for me to map it as was just a case of a little bit here and a little bit there etc, FLOL
Would have been SO much easier on aftermarket not the standard ECU! But at least the end result is good.
I've really got it to a stage where it's a brilliant daily driver IMO. Suspension/seats/engine work so well together.
I've also picked these up today.
I must thank you chip for putting up with my moaning about little flat spots, but after server all tweaks and its finally perfect. It's back on the rollers tomorrow with a higher rev limit, so hope to crack the 200 mark. Or die trying

Im gutted to have sold them TBH, really suited my car, but we've decided to go over to just OZ F1s for everything as it makes it so much easier with swapping between sets etc so have been selling off all the other different wheels we had like these 1.2s and some TD 1s and some Monzas etc.
Come to think of it, being good friends with chip is expensive.
£1400 for the RS-2/197 combo and mapping after going out in Lesley's
£80 for ARP's after seeing nearly 200bhp. Needs extra rev's.
£450 for wheels and tyres after he mentioned he was selling the 1.2's
Lol, and that was after the car was staying standard. Lol.

That never happens lol!
Wow proper project!
Glad to see my old bilsteins getting some actual use rather than sitting on mine in the garage lol

We all know boost is imminent.
Even more so for me. Although I've done more to this is a very short timeframe

Lol, great comment
But having exclusive access to the encyclopedia that is chip is priceless

Tbh as good an excuse it may be, I couldn't see my missus falling for it haha

Haha fairplay, tbh I shouldn't complain mine never asks questions she knows my addiction is a medical condition ha.
