Awesome, guess the test will be next time on track? Im sure it wouldn't bore anyone if you could explain the difficulties in mounting it if you have the time, someone might find it very useful in a year or two or five. Only the first picture shows for me, and the rest are blank - like all your photos are for me. So annoying because I know there's good photos there! Must just be blocked on my PC
I have a few other photos but haven't uploaded them.
Odd you can only view the first, maybe something to do with your PC, they appear fine for me :)
Let me know if you need to see anything specific and I can send to you directly if need be.
The kit sent simply does not fit due to OEM water feed to the oil/water heat exchanger
you have to cut down the 2 metal pipes on the heat exchanger and then loop the oem water feed back onitself.
ideally we want to remove oem oil cooler because it's doing literally nothiing but the baseplate has a threaded bar on it and as it's supposed to go through the heat exchanger the threaded part is literally right at the top.
we were going to cut and weld it but thought better of it without having the time or spare parts.
Chris - thanks glad you like it :) certainly coming together now
Regarding the dyno day!
Met up with Bobby on Saturday at Surrey Rolling Road
Had a good afternoon chatting to people.
Due to some of the figures coming out of Europe (claiming 270bhp + on stock cp4 pump) we decided to run a test on my car.
We ran a new map, with a dummy EGT sensor (so no EGT protection)
requested lambda 0.9 (another 5-10% more fuel than before)
(normal tune lambda is 1.1-1.2)

Even with the extra fuel we were just getting extra smoke. Logs show lambda didn't get below 1.08.
You can see the graph before and after here. The pink (better curves) are the new v25 map and the blue ones were the old v24 map.

You can see while we have dumped loads more fuel in, we are now up to over 430 lb ft of torque however power is exactly the same as before, albeit it holds at the top end now (due to EGT protection effectively not working).
Flat power curve is all well and good but further proves no more airflow available.
We are slowly ruling out any mechanical restrictions to downpipe or intake however this further points to prove that airflow through CR170 head is poor.
We thought the OEM lambda probe was faulty or defective as we could not believe the logs so we ran an independant Lambda probe

Turns out the oem lambda was within range and not telling us lies. We are 100% out of air.
On this particular tune due to excess fuel we were seeing a peak of 2.7bar despite request 2.4
After testing we put v24 tune back on as this tune is not safe for daily use.
