What exhaust do you have mate?? is it turbo back or cat back??

 

[Rikko]

Its a turbo back mate and how the hell have you got those figures mate whats your car had done to her got a 6hr free APR stage 2 trial on at the min and its rapid as but she only pushing bout 300 on the torque mate how you got 333

Arr whose system have you gone for, for you exhaust?? is it any good?? I've got the milltek cat-back and hi-flow cat but the DP is standard so im looking to upgrade.

She's "standard" Stage 2 (apart from no 3" dp) with Revo software. I think its just a good setup. runs really nice and pulls like a train!!!

I went for the Blue Flame group buy fits real well no problems with it unlike some ppl on here and i wrapped it to keep the heat in sounds beautiful 3" all the way from the turbo with a 200cell cat. Yer going to get mine remapped now pulls like buggery in every gear and its soon eats the speedo aswell (not that i would know like) at Awesome on sat she produces 242 at the flywheel and 231 at the wheels but torque was only 224.

Stewbies IHI LCR made 360bhp. Guess it's the mapping that could be improved on this one though?

@ Awesome?

 

[RobM]

No, at Jabba and at Janspeed. It made 316 at the wheels at Janspeed and they have a calculation that converts that into fly power, that as far as I know is unique to their dyno. That's where the 360 came from. All other cars were literally bang on the money on the same day and rollers at Janspeed too, both standard and modified cars.

 

[barnsley]

OK, maybe I was being optimistic with the power claims and expectations, but Songman is claiming 370BHP (on Jabbas rollers) but has modified head/valves, inlet manifold, aquamist etc.
I have a Jabba rolling road printout claiming 351BHP / 350 lb/ft at 1.6bar boost.
The more I think about it, it would be more of a reliability exercise in getting internals done rather than significantly more power or torque.

Anyway got the car measured on a computerised 4 wheel alignment rig (Protyre in Fareham) to see what was going on with the steering. As I had guessed it was way off with significant toe-in: -4.7 on the left and -1.2 on the right giving -5.9 in total! makes me wonder whether the tracking was ever checked after Jabba fitted the FSD's . Anyway set back to zero (correct spec apparently) the car feels a lot better now, the vagueness and instability all but eliminated (may even put the power down a it better ). Can only get even better once the Rosso's are swapped for the F1's to match the rear in a couple of k's time.

Wonder if this is the same problem with this LCR having read this thread?

Also got my small front plate in the post today and must say I think it looks good, will start another thread with some pics!

im only running 1.3 bar of boost
