Steve,
how come you went for a different intake rather than the usual Stage 3 kit one?

Same reason I changed the exhaust and down pipe for the full 3" Milltek Race System, I felt the APR design wasn't the best solution on the market.

The intake on mine was giving higher intake temps and because there isn't many plastic trims left the filter got wet very easily.

I see what you mean.
If you see mine, its been modified as when it was down the bottom it got so dirty,
its not in the void by the battery, but with a heatshield from the rest of the engine and a air feed pipe from the fog light hole.

Well it's been a bit of a roller coaster day again with the car  :rolleye:

From collecting it from APR this morning, to seeing Greeners "off of" Detail My Ride transform the paintwork and then driving it after Keith from APR came up to DMR to reflash the car.

Initially the car was running like a bag of spanners to be honest and I was very much questioning the choice of the APR Stage 3 kit, a number of niggly running issues had been present since the kit was fitted that where detracting from the enjoyment of the extra power. So the car had been back to get these resolved, due to a number of factors and mainly a bit of a communication breakdown these where not resolved before I picked up the car.

After expressing my concerns to Keith he explained the situation and what they had done to put the running issues right in a revised file that needed to be flash onto the car. He offered to come out to me at Detail my Ride while the car was being sorted by Greeners.

Full pics of the end result of the detail to follow but here's a pic grabbed from DMR's Facebook



Leaving DMR I wasn't really sure what to expect with the revised file on the car, but immediately the car felt more normal / oem like and less on edge at low speed. After a bit more time in traffic all the previous niggles seemed to be gone and by the time I reach the nice quiet M45 I was a happy man once more. A quick blast down the M45 and a test run against Keith in his R showed the power was all there too  :driver:

Back to Milton Keynes for some final data logging and which confirms everything is looking good fine with car, and there was still so headroom on the turbo, fuelling and timing.

Before these final niggles where resolved APR took the car to the dyno as well, the rolling road used was at Marlin in Bletchley, I had the car run here a few days after the recent trip to JKM and it recorded 367bhp (vs. the 349bhp at JKM), the figure reached at Marlin this week with revised calibration was a very healthy 408bhp  :evilgrin:

Looking forward to the Ring now  :party: :party:
Nice, I want you to do my Audi greeners.
I don't think your that far away from me Nathe if I remember correctly.

Bit of an update, APR completed the compress test today and found: -

Cyl 4 = 170
Cyl 3 = 175
Cyl 2 = 175
Cyl 1 = 110

Any guesses which rod has bent  :laugh:

Will find out tomorrow if there is any cylinder wall  damage :scared:

Should hopefully be getting the car back this week, popped in to see it this week and found it looking very sorry for itself  :scared:



Engine was on the mount in the background ready to have the sum removed.

Good news is no damage to the pistons and it looked at that point the cylinder wall was OK too.

Also checked the valves and the rest of the head and all looks in great condition, temping to get the head done while it's off the car  :innocent:

What work can they do to the head Steve?  Normal flow stuff?  Or can you optimise it for some wild cams?  Valve size etc?
