westcoupe Unregistered W	i ran 338bhp at 1.4 bar and 1.2 bar to the red line and i didnt have the 3" sip and i ran a v band so depending on your engine conditions and if you can fuel it cos i was maxed out on the injectors and luke mate i ran that power for 10 months with piston oil ring going and it only let go on saturday,down on 4th cylinder now,so engine is coming out and going to j so 400bhp+ here i come Last edited by westcoupe; 19/01/2009 21:53.

luke Unregistered L	yeah i know what ya mean buddy but im in the situation where i want it to quick but still want it too last at least till spring summer time so i can do the forged bits at my leisure so can get everything i need to do it properly and not feel it soo much in my wallet because bits will be bought over next couple of months, but if it does go bang soon oh well the rebuild will be sooner than later

TurboJ Unregistered T	My advice is always the same. Keep your car and enjoy it. Buy another engine and build it up over time. When ready swap over engines and sell the old one. That way your cars only off the road for an engine swap. That way you have something to look forward to instead of rushing the job because your without a car.

Maastiff, Last time it was dyno'd it put out 298bhp at 1.35bar with very rich fueling. the highest bhp before now for the car was 335bhp on Perfect touch map with fueling going rich and very lean in places no where near a consistant 11.5 afr throughout which is what it is now. Now my fueling is as near to perfet as it can be mid 11's afr right throught from about 3500/4000rpm and also im running 1.5bar boost. from your comment "how could it make over 320bhp with just a remap??? " hmmmm. . . . quite easily tbh if a car is puuting out 335bhp once upon a time on a fueling graph which is up and down not fueling at the best AFR then you add more boost with the ideal AFR throughout the rev range. A car could quite easily make 30bhp+ more not saying mines gonna roll off the rollers with a dyno sheet saying 350bhp But it could!! anywhere near there will be cool as i know either way from when ive picked my car up and its fueling right its a total different car to drive and IS much quicker regardless of BHP figres Well I hope it goes well and it gets a good figure, but more importantly that it runs perfectly. I'm just amazed that it only put out 298bhp because fuelling was not perfect (or was there something else wrong aswell?) and that correcting the fuelling would make such a big difference. When will you get it back from Flea?

luke Unregistered L	i already have my car back and like i say its a totally different car to drive now. flea doesnt just correct the fueling etc he alters the timing etc so depedning on how aggresive he is/isnt can be the difference between bhp figures also. Mapping isnt as simple as just getting AFR correct!it can achieve much bigger bhp figures with the same setup with a plug and play chip if you get me. mapping is done to your cars specific ability regarding mods etc so you get the most out of your car! An off the shelf chip will be created on the basis not every coupe is in same condition health,not all will have exact same mods so will be produced moderatly to play safe as such. thats why with many other cars spend loads of money to get stand alone managment soo it can be "live mapped" to get most out of there car with there setup etc

R1DAN Unregistered R	I thought you had a gt28rs on the coupe, looked fast last time i see you, seemed to be overfueling tho, plenty of dark smoke on boost. Sorry to go off topic luke, you should see a easy 350hp.

luke Unregistered L	1.5bar hani, but i think i need to get exhaust flowing better myself as got a 2" decat at mo so i Personally think it may be olding flow back a bit but some people will say it wont etc but we will see. Peanut,it drives 100% better on the road and feels 100% better u can definatly feel the 297 lbs of torque

Great luke.. I recalled that it was mapped @ 1.5 bar by Flea. At the end, you have a reliable car with healthy engine Exhaust will have effect for sure.. however there are many setups to choose from.. Which decat you have???

Flea Forum is my life Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 5,405 Castle Combe	Well I am pleased for you, it has jumped back up from 290bhp & 260lbs/ft to 338bhp & 297lbs/ft. You could probably release a bit more at the top end with a slightly bigger exhaust/decat, and with a more aggressive map i.e. leaning it out towards the top end, it could see another 10-15bhp. Problem is it's really only good for the pub, not the road or track.
