Duty cycle would be a nice bit of info,

Anything they think could be changed or improved upon? Anything you think?

Is that a full manifold, decat and cat back DMS system?

First impressions once you drive it, The difference from before,

Just absolutely anything really

I'll ask the question tomorrow, the only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the air filter is a foam hks one which people say isn't great but they are a disposable item and are supposed to be replaced every service.

Standard manifold, DMS decat and cat back.

Will do I'll give it a good drive and report back.

Also to add that I have an SPA dual gauge mounted in the audio volume control to monitor oil temp and pressure.

Sounds great,

Looking forward to hearing about it

Ok a bit more info, it's peaking approx. 0.7 bar but we have no figures for the injector Duty, Matty at Tracktive mentioned that when the 800cc were dropped it was running very rich compared to the oe settings so guess that gives a rough idea that the 800s have quite a lot more head room.

Matty's just giving everything a final once check over and double checking the setup on the fuel rail to make sure it's extra safe/secure, since it sits approx 10mm higher with the Asnu injectors, then I should be on my way

That's around 11-13 psi if my lack luster math skills serve me right?

Did you get a new map sensor or is it alright reading that level?

Does the rail still bolt down nicely or need some spacers or something making?

What do they think of the kit and parts etc?

Get some miles on it and let us know,

Ps head to Notts Finish work at 4

Pps Did anyone get anywhere with the Flashpro map?

Or a Flashpro map for 800cc injectors just so it's not stupidly rich

Very impressive Tron, that would do for me.

Does anyone run a 'charger with a cat still? HFC maybe? or does anyone have any idea on the impact running one might have on power?

The heat from the charger will destroy a standard cat in no time. Either go hi-flow or decat

Map Sensor is OE, seems ok.

Yes the rail bolts down fine just needs some spacers.

The kit and parts seem very well made and thought out, and the mounting points are all solid.

Ok I've now picked the car up and had a chance to drive it. All I can say is that it's a beast. Power delivery is smooth and there are gains throughout the rev range.

Vtec engages at 4k and the power curve is very linear, and the rev limit has been dropped to 8.5k rpm for safety but it is still making good power at the top end and would make more to 9k, (estimate approx. another 20bhp maybe)

To be perfectly honest I think the power is ideal for me, I honestly wouldn't want anymore. To give you an example I was on the dual carriageway earlier and got wheel spin in 4th and 5th, and I was probably at approx. 5k rpm. Admittedly it was very cold and wet, but still I wasn't expecting it. It's much more usable low down the range and in the short time I've driven it I'm using a higher gear than before (maybe because I don't want the wheelspin).

On the way home the roads where much dryer (probably due to the amount of salt on the roads) so was able to open it up more, all I can say is that when it hits 7k rpm it absolutely flys, and on upshifts at high rpm there are lots of pops and bangs from the exhaust.

I think the traction issues were down to the road conditions plus my AD08s have probably had a few heat cycles from trackdays so probably have a slightly harder layer of rubber than usual. But to be honest I don't really use the car in these conditions and is used for trackdays and warmer weather.

Below are the dyno graphs along with a comparison before the supercharger was fitted.

The before had DMS exhaust, PasswordJDM scoop, K&N filter, AEM ECU
