Fantastic Joe! looking forward to seeing this machine being driven in anger

i can't imagine what it feels like to have 100hp more than my car

[Exmantaa]

Glad it's finally sorted! Looking forward to the graph and curious to what revs they now mapped your engine.

[LY_Scott]

Yaaas

Great news Joe. Good call on going for reliability over outright power as well. Given your use, much better to keep things cool and consistent. Glad they've nailed the throttle response side of things as well. Hopefully Nick will be sorted now...... What sort of intake temps were you getting, out of interest?

[siztenboots]

if IAT are less than 60'C then happy times

[GeorgeBC]

congrats, cant wait for a few pax laps!

Nice one Joe and good move going for safety over power, I look forward to seeing it in anger.

Nice one Joe and good move going for safety over power.

Its OK having mahoosive power but if it doesn't work 90% of the time then there's no point. So when are you selling it to me for a fiver???

[mbes2]

good result Joe! Bet it was as loud as fcuk on the rollers...

[NickB787]

Fantastic work Joe, did you road test it or just on the RR? If you are on the 2.9 I will swap my 2.8 and run the same BHP as you, will get my ecu off and over to CMS to get the map on.

[nicollow]

Yeah, just the 360!! Congrats fella, pretty sweet wee VX you have now Good luck with the season ahead

[The Batman]

yeah im running the 2.9 Nick and thanks guys to be honest, our engines differ a fair bit so would still advise getting a final remap as i dont have to over fuel to keep my pistons cool due to the oil jets etc etc etc etc im pretty chuffed with today to be honest finally some good luck! bring on some trackdays if its not enough power for time attack, i can change injectors and pulley and go for above 400bhp

[JamieVX220]

that's some serious power! I honestly can't imagine what it will be like, i've only got an NA with a Larini and a remap and it feels quick!! All the best for Time attack P.S get some more pictures up please

[NickB787]

CMS have my base map so they just need to do the timing adjustments for partial throttle work, I found at 55-60mph I was getting nearly 30mpg at full throttle I think it will drop to about 1 tank per mile I will ask CMS just to up the fuelling slightly for the cooling issue I think 360 is more than enough for TA

[haggi961]

Awesome news mate and thats plenty enough power for the match box toy. Im finding it hard to put just over 300hp down on mine let alone 360. All you need to do now is learn to drive the vx again as i bet its been a while since you have had a proper go in one.

[NickB787]

Should have got 4 packs. That would sort all of your bodywork, as well as the undertrays.
