Where abouts are you FB? I heard differently on the Cool running Stat, not to run it with a triple pass rad due to it making things run too cold then. I'm sure I'm wrong :sleep:

The triple pass rad becomes more effective after about 40mph and is less effective below this

well had it on the dyno this morning and only got 217bhp and about 290 torque which is a bit underwhelming! apparently over fuelling at 5000 rpm which im guessing its an old tms remap hopefully has some room for improvement, on the upside i know it can be quicker :)

To give you an idea: I have 260bhp, and 285lbs/ft torque courtesy of Courtenay. That was achieved via a VXR turbo, ZLEH injectors (the ZLET ones maxed out), 3" exhaust - and, of course, a remap. If you'd like the breakdown of costs, PM me - although would be 2010 ones


I had pretty much the same setup with the same figures thumbsup

mm does seem a bit odd how it tales of @ 5000 rpm but to be honest it still pulls up there? torque seems good just not the bhp even more reason for an up to date remap me thinks!

Its all very odd all this. - Especially 217 and that torque! I'm pretty convinced the VXR turbo is the main reason mine made the impressive 262HP/306lbft (actual measured hp! lol) off a stg2 map. The TMS CC does seem a bit mental though all things considered - the stock IC is pretty restrictive, you really wouldn't put that inline with something else. I have stock injectors and a 2.5" exhaust by the way.
