Within the next couple of weeks hopefully, after I've got my s/hand big bore throttle body and AmD mapped ECU :lol:

 

I won't be at Inters this year, got a poxy wedding to go to unfortunately....

It feels like a bigger engine, kev. It just feels more responsive. I mean, let's face it, we're talking about 30% improvement in torque.

With the VR gearing it allows you to thrash between 3k and 4k rpm changing up much earlier than normal, and still look down finding yourself going insanely fast, where previously you'd have no choice but to hold it in gear to 5500 rpm and use the power band.

When pulling away, you can plant the throttle and it no longer feels lethargic.

When trundling along the motorway at 70 behind someone, no need to change down to get a kick, just squeeze the throttle.

 

BUT you're not going to be finding that you're blowing the doors off ferraris..

 

Merc Kompressors though are easy meat.. ;)

so kevhaywire, you getting a new throttle body from amd and a re-chip (that must be about £550) so yours will absolutlely fly right????

 

surely you'll need the schrek and TB fitted before the rechip is done?

That's the plan but I'm getting the TB and ECU (with an AMD chip in it) second hand, so no where near £550.

 

Picking those up at Inters, well, someone else is on my behalf...... and then I'll be Schricking when I get the car back from Stealth after it's clutch (again!) and chains....so prolly looking end of May now.....

Well all 3 will be going on the engine the same day......so I'll be doing a remap, schrick and TB in one go :lol:
