Well it looks like I'm struggling to get a coolant hose by the weekend? So it looks like I may be dropping out of this. Gutted.

RR days and me just don't mix I think!

Hopefully a miracle might happen!

Was not to bad there were some unfortunate missing coupes though.
I got 200 at the wheels Not sure I believe my peak power number of 250 as it was at more RPM than the max wheel BHP..... not sure how that works. Not a bad torque curve but Cowboy's is worth a look at really good area under it. Sure he will get a scan and be singing Flea's praises soon.

I'll try and get my graph up soon but have to fix my web server firstly.

Excellent results Karl, 290bhp+ from 5000-6500rpm. The torque is fantastic at almost 300lbs/ft and it reaches this at 3000rpm holding it all the way to 5000rpm. It's like a standard coupe on massive steroids, it simply does everything better smile

From seeing the graph on the PC and a talk with Ric (Rick?) the drop then rise in my torque curve coincides with my car going first rich (the dip) the lean. I think you may have a supper-spool cowboy as you come on boost (torque is earlier) than my hybrid and my peak power although down on yours is at more RPM.
Your curve does not drop off as drastic as my one Karl and 250 @ the wheels is nice.

Great result Karl, must be great on the road. I'm sure all them shiny bits give you at least an extra 20bhp laugh

Sorry I couldn't make it, I'm just about to fit my new coolant hose!

That's a pretty big boost/torque spike!! Peak torque is showing 277lbs/ft, but the reality it is 240lbs/ft, try cleaning your EBV. Other than that nice solid results.

Forgive me if this is a daft question...but by cleaning the EBV - what difference would that show/gain?

It will be the reason why you have a massive boost spike as shown at 3200rpm on your graph. The chip should limit boost to 1.2bar with a small over boost i.e. 1.4bar. Unfortunately the standard EBV can become a little tired resulting in slow response with overboost going up to 1.8bar hence an increase of 37lbs/ft very briefly! Try cleaning with WD40 which can help improve the response time.
