Mat

Bring it back in when you are ready we have your baseline runs from last month so can give you a before and after comparison.

Like Simon says.. would like to see what figures you get with this... I went quiet on this as their was varying comments on this mod on what in added to HP, but still look awfully nice there!!.

Your correct as far as eye candy goes they do look nice, i would be interested in the before and after figures for IAT's.

You could always get them ceramic coated

What time are you at eurocharged Tuesday? I've got a pretty clear day so its a good excuse to put some miles on test the induction.

Savman
Paul are you really busy Tuesday? If I can get down would you be able to squeeze in a dyno to log the difference?


Yes its a fabtech kit from Steve in the US. They do have the option of different coatings and in hind sight if I actually knew more about it I would of chosen to have it wrapped.
It's comes apart easy enough so I guess it's still an option. As it's definitely not meant to just sit and look pretty
Paul did a dyno for me only a few weeks ago, so before and after IATs will be posted

Q; the guys fitting this intake system, is this with OEM TB, or have you upgraded to larger TB?

Also very interested in dyno results here, I seem to recall Sav man Dyno,ing his very modified car with his open filtered bespoke intake at the EC SSR day that he organised, (great 3 days out, by the way), first/second pull, Jerry was not happy and pulled the filters off Sav's car, next pull showed 25BHP improvement on a warm engine, with filters removed, (I know you'd expect some improvement, but thought at the time that was massive). So will be of interest to see how the development has moved on with this intake, moreso as its really not that big amount $, and quite an easy fit.

Matt - I will get there first thing, just to avoid the worst of the traffic and wait for everyone to arrive. If you remember the last time we met I got a bo**ocking from Andy for arriving late! Traffic is a nightmare from my direction if I leave it later. Would be good to see you and your motor if you can get down there

Hi Ricky - Good question, I was going to ask the same thing. I assume it's OEM TB.

How's things mate? I tried to pm you some time back but your box was full. Hope all is now well with the beast!

I have a standard TB. I was asked what throttle body I had when ordering. So I take they can cater for this.

Kalvin looks like I will be heading down there for around 9

Simon1966 how could I forgot the traffic. I will aim to leave early

Not much to see with my old bus Kalvin, but would be good to finally meet. Hopefully mine will look a bit more 'the part' in a few months time as I have some jobs planned.

We will and will have Jerry and some of the EC Houston over, just trying to tie things up with them and coordinate things that will also work for the Eurocharged UK dealers.
