New pics, FMIC, GT28RS and G-tech2 are now in place, still waiting for the SIP and Stainless exhaust manifold to be ready, hopefully during the next 2 weeks, meanwhile, with all the free time and the coop in the garage waiting for the rest of the parts, done a little refurbishing on the rocker cover...

OZ Vs Stock wheels

hard pipes look good, but they look smaller bore to the standard pipes?

Yes they are a little bit smaller, I was trying to reduce lag, waiting for the car to be ready to test the effect off smaller diameter tubing...

Anyone tried it? any known disadvantages in doing this?

Any one know the answer to this as if it does reduce lag i'd be very interested in doing it....

Nick

Took the car to a RR today, It's a MAHA, known to be the best RR's, at least here in Portugal...

321.6 HP and 358 NM

I'm very very happy with the results...

Hi mate... Nice results!!!!!
Do you think the smaller diametre pipes reduced lag????

Nick

Hi!

Thanks Nick, it could have more Torque, the SS exhaust manifold is almost ready and will help getting a little bit more...

Yes it helped a lot, it's quite noticeable...

Should i be seeing this figures with the G-tech 2? it's seeming quite a lot of HP...

I will add the Graph later, i don't have my scanner working at the moment...

Very impressive, it looks like new. I did quite like the matt black finish though.

Hi,

Do you have a graph from the RR?

I'm curious to see max boost, lambda and where you hit max torque and hp.

Coupe vs GSX-R K10, the driver wasn't the best, but you get the point in the video...

Stunning work .Well done.

There are so many different projects here on fccuk that I want to do something with my car/engine. But I don't have the time for it. I love what you have done. Impressive work!

Any RR graphs?

Beautifull Coupe, I really love it!

Are you going to leave the gtec2 in or look at live mapping soon?

the car have live map good job pretender this car is a realy monster

Live map on an aem ems... Check the specs on page 5...

Can you give me the part number for the AEM EMS?

Freddan,

Got a friend at work who knows quite a bit about on-the-fly mapping/programable ECU, he´s a superbike instructor and can´t let his pupils pass him, even racing bike professionals.

So he has 6 different mappings that he can change inbetween, each set up for different circuits. At Anderstorp he has a live switch, and changes between two different settings, so he can get a high top speed on the straight and good acceleration compared to the rest of the course where he needs the acceleration. Anderstorp: http://www.allf1.info/tracks/anderstorp.jpg

He said it should be doable on the Coupe as well and it should be quite easy. I could set you guys up if you want to, sounds like a AEM-type setup. He´s a busy guy but he knows his stuff, is very helpful and will give you the input in case you want to do the stuff yourself. Let's talk during the weekend.

Hi Fredan, sure, it's a 30-1900u, it's a series 1 universal ems, the new series 2 won't work with our engine, it needs an external coil amplifier once it only has 4 amplified outputs, the series 1 has 5 of them, and it works flawlessly with the bosch 60-2 trigger wheel...

We have also done an adapter harness so that no wires from the original loom had to be cut or spliced, It's kind of a plug'n'play solution...

this coupe for me is madness!
very great job my friend
i liked so much

GReat job !!!
