Let me know what you are looking to achieve and I can advise on the best way forward. Based on your current spec, I can either supply individual parts or the full upgrade package.

The injectors are 880cc, the MAF I have designed for an FC Stage 4+, and the clutch is a 6-paddle good for 380-400lbs/ft. The turbo is an FC special called the FC450R, maximum response with no surge. Everything I build now is to ensure minimal lag with a broad powerband. The exhaust is a FC 3" 5-stud all the way through with a single silencer (circa 95-98db).

I think you have to pay £2000 (or even more) for those parts.

Thanks flea.

Sounds interesting. I see the rods so it'll be interesting to see the results, assuming it already has forged pistons smile

Not quite yet, it is up and running with 1.3bar boost. He has tested on the Autobahns against a friend's Porsche 911 S PDK (400ps) and a BMW 335i (tuned to 380bhp), and he pulls ahead by a few lengths, so should be mighty fun at 1.8bar! Dyno will come in a couple of weeks smile

So it's basically the same set-up as mine but at slightly lower boost at the moment? Mine's 1.5 down the 1.4 at the redline and that equals C63 AMG performance wink

My best estimate for a fully forged date and subsequent FC remap is the beginning of next year at the moment, but there are a lot of interesting things going on/in the car this year laugh

Sounds good Ryan, any sneak preview on what you are doing?

The bigger power Coupes went a little quiet last year, but starting to see a few projects coming online this year. You never know, I may dust of mine and finally finish the ultimate spec I have been aiming for smile

This year
New 17” alloys with AD08Rs
Grey sports seats
Refurbished calipers
Full polybushed front and rear suspension refurbish (aside from springs and dampers) including one of Nigel's refurbished rear subframes.

Early next year – Trip to Bristol for:
BC Coilovers and full fast road set up, corner weighting etc.
Forged rods for FC Remap to… 440bhp+ (no pressure wink )

You’d have to get Tony Robinson in to dig it out of the back of that unit! I’m sure you’d never tell us the spec anyway but… what’s the ultimate spec? laugh
