Should I be disappointed?

[Ultim8_Evil]

Just had KPRO fitted to add to the list of mods in my sig.

Made 237bhp at the fly and 176lb/ft. Think Paul said it was 196 at the wheels but I can't remember.

Was I aiming my sights too high for 200 @ wheels / 240-245 at the fly with my mods? Or is something amiss?

I wouldn't be that downhearted. That sounds about right for the mods... 200bhp + or - a few.

Although it's probably that mental 200 barrier that you wanna break, so I can imagine the slight disappointment when the figure still starts with a 1.

 

[Harv]

Sounds about right to me also.

Things will be getting expensive from now on if you want to stay NA and up the BHP. You can always try a different Airbox or go without a cat to get that extra 4whp you're after. 8)

Change the mani to a Toda. Should see 200 atw then.

I see. In that case, I would suggest something different. I know this is unorthodox but maybe a change of oil type could help and maybe using a higher fuel RON. I've been doing some reading and apparently changing the viscocity of oil could affect bhp. 8)

Use either 99 ROn Tesco super or Shell V-Power... apart from 102 RON £2 per litre BP Race fuel, there's no better fuels to try

Could get a bit of octane booster tho I suppose.

It's stupid... I really shouldn't care! Car is totally transformed and pulls like a freight train 8)

 

[cressie]

I've got AEM cia, DC Race headers, Spoon system, Hondata heatshield gasket and KPro, and have made 198WBHP.
I think everyone with simmilar mods makes round about the same power, So dont be put off!!, as you said having Kpro and getting it mapped properly, transforms the car anyway.

 

[thejudderman]

If you stick in octane booster, you might be able to advance the ignition enough to break the 200 mark... Just for the Dyno sheet/bragging rights.

But unless you wanna add it at every fill up, it would need retarding to stop det.

Or what about, a Leaf Blower :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know you wanted 200wBHP but why are you chasing a peak power figure? After all it really is only the peak figure and offers nothing other than boasting rights IMO It is only experienced for a very short period before you change gear. Mid-range is really where you want to see a substantial increase in power.

All very well coming from someone who's got a car coming with an everest sized chunk of torque, but yeah what Liam said^^^^^ :lol:

 

[Ultim8_Evil]

Actually, after the Yorkshire meet and having the opportunity to really test me and my car, I'm more than happy with it :twisted:

Despite having nailed 3rd gear for most of the day, I've just got the best mileage to a tank that I've ever had. Thank you KPRO!
