RR session at Owen Developments. #483615 13/11/2007 20:50 13/11/2007 20:50

Sean_C OP Enjoying the ride Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 548 Oxford	Had a little session at Owens on Monday and here is my Graph : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/sean20vt/LatestRRresults.jpg 350.8 BHP @ 6663 RPM 307.6 lbft @ 5313 RPM 1.3 BAR boost max. 1.1 BAR at redline. The figures were achieved using a Novitec chip and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I had an Unichip fitted but removed it during this RR session as it did absolutely nothing to improve power/torque/AFR figures ! This was proved when we did back to back runs with and without the Unichip. In fact without the Unichip the top end power is ever so slightly better !

Owen Devs rolling road was used for testing all the production Mitsubishi FQ models don't forget and those typically make the same or more than what it says on the tin. They also did the Mitsubishi Warrior power upgrade

Would be interesting to see what you get at Surrey Rolling Road. Well, looking at the graph again it's probably about 1.35 BAR but reads 1.4 BAR on my Apexi. I agree there is a lot of power for my mods....way above my expectations, but it's there so hooooray ! Originally Posted By: nick_d How difficult was it to fit your adjustible FPR??? been thinking about doing this but thought it would be a "ball ache" of a job??? what make FPR are you using??? Nick... The adjustable FPR is from a Cosworth I think. Which one ? I'm not sure. Mark at Owens supplied it. Enjoying Coop ownership, second time round . Also enjoying RWD action in a thundering V8 E90 M3.

I have known Mark @ Owens for quite a while now ( prob. 7-8 years). I find him a straight forward guy to deal with. No BS talk. Yes, they are always very busy. Call, call and call is the thing to do ! I find calling about 5.15 - 5.30 pm is the best. Originally Posted By: suba Originally Posted By: JohnS should get the same.

I have used Owens many times (6-7) at various stages of tune and compared with the results at other places,( PTS, that place in Uxbridge..can't remember their name ), there have been only small differences.
