Well Done Joe Really good to see those figures the Head, cams and Piper do well on increasing the bhp. Just watch the revs and get the bottom end done if you don't limit the hp. Maxr problem was fueling related I believe I also understand the OEM fuel pump starts losing pressure over 260ish. Once again another good bit of DIY

Great result joe! (Goes and locks wallet away ... )

My whining seems to be coming from the kitchen at the moment (best place for her imo)

anybody got any ideas on how to get it to STFU?

i've tried gaffa tape but that's not strong enough, was considering super glue maybe?

Hi Joe, Good to read that you achieved 270BHP with a full 2,5" system. A dual pass layout will increase the cooling efficiency of the laminova cores (in standard set-up the 3th and 4th core are less efficient due to heatsoak of the coolant) and this will probably improve things in the top end. (We really should stick the IAT sensor in the manifold so the ecu sees the actual inlet temperatures, and we can log them.) I've heard several noise comments on the Piper 2,5" box and that's exactly why I did not buy it. Some noise is OK, but only when you press the loud pedal. Still waiting on a 2bular response... Until that I will just use a Piper manifold + Turbo back box on my SC.

[The Batman]

yeah will be getting all the mods done and am thinking about setting up a inlet temperature gauge (as i have one sat upstairs which would have been used for the tbs) but then its weight dont want to turn into a turbo lardo the noisiness of the piper will be getting sorted

[PiperRS]

Okay, lets not beat about the bush. That looks Fracking awesome and i want it! How much or will you part ex on a 500bhp RX7 and a small Border terrier puppy?

Love it.

Garry

[The Batman]

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

You what you need Joe ??? some nice pictures of your car I know this fella............. ps my full piper registered 102 Db at cadwell last friday I passed the noise test at the start of the day then I was called up for another test in the paddock one of the marshals must have made a comment lots of people said it sounded great and you could hear it coming round the circuit.
