Great stuff Marc, very glad she's had lots of really good work done. Pity we couldnt get some power figures though.

I may have to check how open the injector ports are on my atr inlet manifold as I have evo 550's too... :?

I love that feeling when you drive away and can actually feel the difference :)

Hopefully I won't be too far behind you... Then I could even join you on track :D

Cheers Both..

Yup, the ports will need opening out to get a decent spray pattern from those injectors.

Nathan, its great. Really happy with it. Just got to get car finished for track. Youve got that 5th gen you could use...

That's great stuff mate.bet it was exciting picking it up and feeling the power difference instantly.

Did you find out why your car was hesitating?
My prelude does it also sometimes :?

What sort of bhp will your car be looking at now then?

The hesitation was never sourced but was either the dizzy or a poor electrical signal witg the old ecu. However, all is sorted now.

I wont be going on the road trip this year, but i will be next year.

Power wise, i was only expecting about 230-235bhp peak on this dyno as aparently hasnt been producing large figures recently.

Car eventually made 256bhp peak which Rich said was very good on this dyno at the time.

So i'm hoping to run the car on a MAHA dyno to roughly compare against the figure i had of 250bhp pre modification/tune.

The figure isnt an issue for me but the car is soo much better than before.
