I was under the impression the Skunk 2 one is almost an exact copy of the ATR one, but confess I haven't compared them directly.
TBH mate if you're chasing numbers, I'd chase them properly and get it mapped for the best fuel you can, otherwise it's a bit of a false economy, IMHO.
Trust me, I still get the same figures I always did for normal driving and mine is mapped on vpower.

cheers benny - im looking for a map to tie all the mods together and get a bit more power and economy by getting a tune on 95 ron if thats possible
good to know your happy with your set up on vpower and i guess thats what most go for

great to see your finally getting round to fitting that ATR intake manifold.bet with that fitted and the map it will be such a improvement.looking forward to the results

[vanzep]

cheers Lewie - not got round to fitting it just yet
The Intake temp sensor just arrived this morning - it a straight swap for the ATR one so no drilling or faffing around and it fits the plug on the prelude loom
Part is made by Calorstat (PT no.AS0060). I got it shipped over from Germany. Cost was under £12 for the part but a horrific charge of £13 to ship it via DHL
I just need to do something with the FITV and thats it finished.
Pity ive not got it done in time for my first track day which is tomorrow at Knockhill.

First track day was a wash out - literally
not that i was expecting it to be sunny or warm at this time of year
The drivers briefing was longer than the time on track
I only got out for one 10 minute session and then a french car shat all its fluids on track so all sessions were stopped and thick fog came in as the marshalls were clearing up so that was that
still the lude felt really good and seemed to be a bit quicker than some of the other cars

[lewie fraser]

You should have taken a video of the action mate

[vanzep]

The camera was set up ready for the second session but unfortunately the fog descended and we never got out on track after that.
At least i got out on track for 10 minutes.
@Merlin was busy prepping his car and missed the first session so never got out at all

Was a real shame as there was only 3 groups so was quiet and we could have had a load of time and video from both cars running together.


We are getting a partial refund from Knockhill and hope to get out again sometime soon

[Merlin]

Yeah what a swine! I was looking forward in getting out back on tack

[damon]

Was that FK out on the track?

[NafemanNathan]

Bloody French!
