[The Batman]

here is what you have all been waiting for:

270.13BHP

[mandarinvx]

I'll be round for a pax ride on the weekend

[techieboy]

Great result Joe. Worth that slooooow drive over to Norfolk then? How does the car sound with the full Piper kit on + functioning supercharger (assuming you can hear anything over the whine)?

yup no thanks to you only joking!

too be honest buddy, as soon as you fit the piper you will sell it! it is totally un-bearable at 75! louder than the VSE!

the backbox silencer needs to be way bigger. can come show ya if your around?

and what day adam?

[mandarinvx]

Ah nuts - so you think it's over 100dB

[The Batman]

too be honest and im not having a go at piper but my ears are still ringing! see the thing is that the backbox was made around a standard car. so any car that has the tiniest of tweeks is knocking the db right up

I best get on to Garry tomorrow, I haven't had mine delivered yet - maybe he could weld an extra couple of inches on if there's space

270.13BHP

Big to all these diy s/c conversions.

So how is it?

[The Batman]

im not saying that it definately is other 98db but i think so... if i have time i will pop over to bedford tomorrow and get a sound test .... thinking about it off course i have time.... guess i will have to take the whining bitch out edit - it is epic and when i first got in it and put my foot down (up to 60 on a 60 road off course ) i did feel a bit scared plus the speedlines transform the handling

however i did have to buy a new ECU which cost a shiny penny. i could have got it cheaper elsewhere but too be honest i got a good deal on a brand new ecu and i couldn't be arsed driving to norfolk again! have to say a big thank you to Jon, for trying everything he possibly could to try and get my ecu to work but to no avail (spelling) the customer service i received was brilliant

Well played that man!

im not saying that it definately is other 98db but i think so...

Thats what I thought, would be good to get it tested

[The Batman]

i will try and get it tested at bedford tomorrow if they arent busy. the power is epic loads more than i expected and am chuffed to bits with it p.s. tunnels are the best i forgot about them with the miltek

[techieboy]

Fook. I might have to send the exhaust back to Piper and get them to fit a much larger silencer then (or lose the cat and fit a smaller silencer there as the cat doesn't sounds like it's not doing much anyway. Last thing I wanted was an offensive exhaust after binning the VSE first time around. Hope I didn't make a massive mistake getting rid of the Milltek. Did you do anything to the bottom end on your car? New con rods or anything?

too be honest no one was expecting these results! and we dyno'd it 5 or 6 times and it all came up with the same result!

first i will be changing my pre rad for a BIG one with double fan and BIG CC tank then move onto the rods and pistons etc etc

aslong as i dont go straight to the redline it should be fine!

[techieboy]

Has your compressor got a smaller pulley than standard? That's a fair chunk of extra power that people who paid for the original StageII conversion didn't get.

Thats why I haven't sold mine yet. Still thinking about changing it back.
I've not heard my car from the outside, but from the inside travelling down the M5 offensive describes it quite well.

nope, i got vocky head, bigger valves, piper cams and the full piper system which the original stage 2 dont have. (they still have the oem manifold )
