I finally got around to getting my NA mapped yesterday, Northampton Motorsport did an amazing job

 

Unfortunately the crank sensor bracket decided to crack and thus we could not get the maximum power figure, so we had to settle for about 15 - 20 bhp less on the day

 

However once a new bracket has been fitted the extra bhp will be available for me to use

 

As a guide: a Courtenay mapped 300bhp SC made 275 bhp on the same NMS rolling road

Very nice Vocky.

You must be pleased.

Outstanding Neil, how does building your engine it compare to the cost of a 300hp SC stage 3?

[TFD]

Looks like rewarding #'s for the build! Congratulations ;-)

[Nev]

Very impressive indeed, particularily if it genuinely makes +15 BHP with the sensor fix.

 

All that low down torque at low revs will be ace in the dry

the power surge is quite noticeable when the new camshafts 'kick in' around 4500

 

And the power was still climbing past 7100 at the start of the day Mr Nev, at the moment it feels like it is hitting a rev limiter at 6900 - due to the crank sensor vibrating with the duff bracket

 

There is certainly more to come

I doubt there is much difference

Who made that impressive bracket Neil?

Who made that impressive bracket Neil?

 

you did

[Jocke_D]

Would really like to know the spec of this incredible engine. If it's not a case of withcraft and blood sacrifice etc

Who made that impressive bracket Neil?

  you did

no chance

[siztenboots]

adjustable cams , or is it all dialled in already

 

did rabidh get any further with the 2.4vvt

[Raptor]

Nice figures Neil - especially the torque.  I'm also interested in your engine specs  I feel another project coming on.

[MartinS]

Sounds like that bracket problem could be what the saab people all have as many of us cant get past 6900?

Must have been nice to get the old girl out Neil, you must be pretty chuffed, bracket aside.
