Project 182

[sideways danny]

my experience of comparing ktec's dyno and Surrey rolling road is they are within 1-2hp of each other

 

[Wazza182]

Just a few updates.

V6 / Trophy Spoiler fitted

And a quick Video of the cams on tick over

 

[Kieran..]

very smooth just ticking over, wasnt expecting that, is it a big difference to feel of power?

 

[domsclio182]

Do you have a side on view of with the spoiler on,looks good.

It's very smooth to be honest, a very good product. I gained 13.5bhp and it was noticeable with the rs2 manifold, maximum gains will be seen with either the standard manifold or itb's.

I may have one knocking about on the camera, I'll keep you posted.

 

[Dean.]

So the rs2 (that you paid £1800 for) is What is holdng you back? :s

Due to the characteristics of the manifold the cams won't produce the full 18 bhp gain. Not that I'm bothered.

 

[mark123]

What did your car make after mapping with the std cams on RS Tuning's rollers?

 

[Wazza182]

RS Tuning (Dyno Dynamics) 02-06-2011
RS192 Exhaust, JMS RS2 Manifold,De-Cat,RS Tuning Map.
BHP @ Fly 181.5 13.8 gain From standard
FtLb @ Fly 146 1.0 gain From standard

 

[domsclio182]

The car was mapped at rs tuning after getting the rs2 manifold fitted, ignore the k tec graph and wait till the weekend as I'll be getting it done at my local rr.

Any joy with this mate?

 

[Wazza182]

Yeah it's all done but down to the ambient temperature the car produced around 188bhp

 

[domsclio182]

So that would be about 5 bhp on last time,will be interesting to see what mine makes when it go's on back on the original dyno at TDF.I must admit my car feels a fair bit quicker and it feels like the gains from ktec are about right,what about yours mate.

After 18 moths of ownership it was time to get the paintwork corrected by a friend and what a job he has done, mainly the common swirls from the previous owner, after he spent 8 hours these are the results. And i must say its come up looking brand new

So after a few months since owning the RS2 manifold i have decided to head back to the original cast alloy manifolds as i could do with the money due to a winter project, i managed to get them vapour blasted back to the factory finish and they look like they have been sprayed. To make the engine breath better i managed to get my hands on an espace airbox with the pipercross filter and silicone air feed.

Im popping down to ktec on Friday to get the work done and im rather looking forward to it.

 

[oliver.james]

Love the clean look of the vapour blasted parts; very tidy!

Out of interest, what's the rough cost of vapour blasting?

 

[Wazza182]

I thought I got my pants pulled down for what I paid £80 in total. But the bay will look mint.

 

[oliver.james]

Will look great though, IMO!

 

[Kieran..]

yeaa will look much better!

[Matt350.]

Mate those inlets look mint, where did you get them done?

 

[Wazza182]

Hi Matt, hope all is well?

A chap called Dave at TSR done them for me his website is http://www.tsrvapourblasting.co.uk/

As mentioned earlier i have decided to sell the RS2 and revert back to my standard inlets due to raising cash for my winter project, here are some photos taken last night of the cleaned inlets and V6 air box

Big thanks to David, Andy, Sean and the other guys mucho happy with the outcome.

 

[oliver.james]

Although I'm a big fan of the RS2, your 'bay looks very smart with those inlets.

Excellent work on the PC too. Really smart.

 

[Wazza182]

Thanks ollie, i need to spend a couple of hours cleaning the bay, I was looking at a few carbon bits but I'll see what the funds are like.

It's such a difference without the solid engine mounts, I don't seem to be shook around on cold start
Lol.

 

[Wazza182]

So after almost a week since sorting out the car I can honestly say the standard inlet works wonders with the cams and v6 airbox, pulling 192.1 bhp and around 160 lbs torque.

[Matthew]

Brilliant results from just some cams mate! Did you have to get it mapped again since taking the manifold off?

 

[Wazza182]

Yeah I got ktec to do everything as I just didn't have the time to do everything, the rs2 is with it's new owner an I'm sure he will enjoy it as what I did.

 

[domsclio182]

Nice result,I take this was on there new dyno?

 

[Wazza182]

unfortunatly the dyno is still in progress so the car was sent to Veysport which has the dyno dynamics rollers.(same as surrey rolling road)

 

[Nick172Cup]

Who got your RS-2?

 

[Wazza182]

A dude called songo.

 

[oliver.james]

Nice results. Given the amount of money and time invested in this car recently, it's good to see it's at a stage you're happy with.

 

[Fletcher]

Good result with the cams.

 

[Sam_K]

Car looks very nice!

 

[Wazza182]

Cheers Sam, how are you getting on with your motor?
