More thumbs up for R Tech

(1/4) > >>

gigolo456:
A big thanks goes out to yet more people, namely Nick, Jim and Ben at R Tech! Arrived with them this morning in gorgeous sun, and after sum initial checks on their behalf when my GTi was on the ramps, Jim then proceeded to crucify my car, well I say that because when it was revving on their RR I did for 1 minute think it was going to explode, lol!! With only the BCS exhaust and Twintake the car was giving a reading of 210bhp, which was satisfactory I guess! Then after giving Ben sum advice bout his stag do, Jim then ragged it again and after sum wondrous tweaking by Nick, it got to 256bhp and 301 lbs of torque, but added that it was kinda struggling a bit more than he would have liked to reach that!! Nick has advised that I perhaps replace my N75, as well as my thermostat and coolant temperature bits and bobs, then bring it bak for another dyno run in a few wks, see what else can be perhaps gained!? The initial spike could b bettered by all accounts! I will get these parts changed alrite, my thermostat isnt in full working order methinks!? To be honest thou, the car is running a dream now! My journey bak was exciting to say the least, much more pull in every gear, and add to that the sound my Powervalve exhaust lets off and I was 1 HAPPY MAN!!! Not only that but my mpg has also gone bak up again! :)On a finishing note, does anyone have any experience of wat a new N75 mite bring to the table, if anything?? In conclusion then, if you want to have an excellent custom map, go to R Tech, you wont b disappointed!!

Shorty:
My eyes hurt reading that.

Apologies, sent from my phone, havent quite mastered paragraphs, lol, if thats what u mean!?

R-tech FTW  :happy2:

FAO Nick - have I earnt commission yet?  :grin:

210bhp sounds a bit low for those mods, mine made 210bhp with just a K&N panel and exhaust pre-cat removed on that dyno, and 248bhp & 311lb/ft post mapping

Let us know the results when you get those parts done :smiley:

Was it run on 99RON super unleaded?

gigolo456:
Yes, use V Power religiously! Mine is Stage 1.5, is that wat you have??
Ref the 210, yes, I thought that was a bit low too, but after 7 yrs perhaps my car had lost sum power!? 256bhp for a Stage 2 is not too bad I guess, but you have more torque than me, clearly more of a spike!? :(
