Afternoon,
There was a historic thread about FN2 NA power which had some great comments, mainly from @Loxy but I can no longer find it on new site. If anyone can locate and post, I'd be really grateful, but if not, perhaps people will help build up a new thread, seems quite a few more people are getting FN2s to mod/track at the moment.
My car is running 240bhp (on TDI North dyno measure, take as many pinches of salt as you see fit)
Car has good useable power, decent mid-range, it's great on track apart from in the straights when I struggle to wind it up sometimes, and so people with more power and torque but less pace in corners will hold me up, then steam off down the straights and not lift off to let me past (worst kind of track drivers). There are a couple of bits on mine that I didn't actually want but either couldn't get in lockdown (when work was carried out) so had to substitute or was put on in error. Mainly HKS RSK and RBC manifold (I asked for RRC). It's also quite loud on m/way cruising, like 80DB, so tempted to take off HKS for that alone.
Current set up:
I'm considering removing the HKS and replacing with Injen which with a revised map could also give some slight gains? And be a little quieter?
Seems I'll be paying a few hundred quid for the map, worth swapping RBC for an RRC at same time? Or alternative? And worth considering a throttle body?
Also wondering about lowering the VTEC point to 3.8k, which I understand is possible?
Moar NA power :
Longer term, when budgets allow, tempted to push further targeting 260+
Would be really good to hear peoples experiences here, I know many of you like @Loxy went through quite a few different set ups, ironing out problems and pitfalls, such as throttle bodies.
Thanks in advance,
NPC

Current set up:
- HKS intake
- RBC I/man
- 4-2-1 e/man
- M2 resonated zorst
- Balancer shaft delete
- ECUTEK
