Anyone got stage 1+???

[kr15h_ED30]

just wondering if anyone has gone stage1+ and how are they finiding it. Looking to get my ED30 mapped, standard atm.

Want to know if they have got a upgraded clutch. / experience and clutch slip on a stock clutch.  Also if they have a sports cat/decat connected to their stock cat back.

Mine is actually stage 1+

Downpipe & sports cat, panel filter & R-Tech map 

Mine is mapped to be very very linear, it's fast without aggression. It puts the power down very well, even in the damp weather (Michelin Pilot Supersports help too!)

314bhp & 322lb/ft.

I'll probably fit an uprated HPFP and go back for more of the same 

I fitted a clutch anyway as I'm always unlucky with clutch slip after a map

I had stage 1+ Apr for a while intake,hpfp and software
Made 330bhp and 340 lb of tourqe, the biggest difference was midrange punch over stage 1

[GrayMK5GTI]

HPFP makes a massive difference to mid range.

I'm kicking myself for not getting one 

[kr15h_ED30]

looks like im saving for HPFP, sports cat,  , are running a upgraded clutch and flywheel????

[GrayMK5GTI]

Yeah - mine is in my signature 

the extra torque from an uprated HPFP will almost certainly give you clutch slip.

I also had APR stage 1+ but couldn't get it to run correctly on my R, car kept throwing an engine light up and loosing power. Was a good excuse to buy a BCS and go stage 2+ Which is where you can feel the real difference mate

On my previous eddy (stage 1)  I had clutch slip after 2k so replaced it with oem clutch and flywheel and it ran fine for another 40k until I traded it in

sorted, I've decided to go for loba HPFP, and remove the precept then get it mapped by R-tech. Going to budget for a Helix clutch just incase the stock one starts to slip. Probs go stage 2+ at a later date.

Should be good for a smidge over 300bhp there. Get a panel filter too - only £35 for a Pipercross filter on eBay

My stage 1+ was 331bhp and 337ft lb and yes plan on a clutch, mine went at 1+.

[kr15h_ED30]

I've got a panel filter, was one of my first mods thats leading to this slippery slope of modding lol, what was your running at you stage 1+ @MC71

[MC71]

^^^^ IIRC I had a CIA and BCS Powevalve with 200 cell cat at the time, no other mods. Some tuners make that a stage 2 but at R-Tech it's stage 1.5 due to lack of a IC....

R-Tech 1.5 Linear map on my Eddy.....

I have never thought of buying a panel filter is there any actual gains from doing so?

[GrayMK5GTI]

I got around 7bhp more than any other standard car has run at JKM so it must be good for something. Throttle response was definitely better too 

At my local garage there is a panel filter demo - a fan blowing air through a K&n filter, when you swap the K&N for a paper filter the air flow is much less

Well might as well throw one on then, where did you buy one from mate? Awesome/eBay?
