Looking forward to hearing the results! Mikey - is it still on the OEM ECU?
I believe it's the stock setup (ESM to hide boost and the rising rate FPR).

Well here you go Guys!
On TDI North's TAT Systems Dyno before and after side by side! AFR on the bottom of the right one!




That's 74.5 BHP increase and 47.4 ft/lb torque increase.
I'm more than happy with that from a stock Comptech SC and AC install.
The Amuse had leaned it out a bit, weirdly to 13.5 @ ~4.5k rpm. Four turns on the FPR (once we had worked out which way to turn it ) soon sorted that!

It runs a bit smoother now! I the way it pulls and pulls and pulls.

The combination of the reduction in weight and the Nitron adjustable coilovers is superb. It not only goes like a rocket, but handles like it's on rails. I'm more than happy with my decision to no go for the full monty on the SC just yet ( AEM, injectors etc) and spend some time and money on the handling and chassis.
For me this is what the run out S2000 should be like, not some over priced marketing ploy.

Nitron "track" coil overs with adjustable height, compression and rebound, all corner weighted (with 1/2 tank of fuel and my weight in the Drivers seat) as well as aligned by Guru Chris


What a drive

Mikey,

How much do you think it's costed for you to do just the Coptech SC install? Did you buy it brand new?

PS - good results on the stock ECU.

Nick.

I'm very interested in the conversion! Did you import the kit yourself Mikey? I'd do exactly the same conversion as you, minus the Amuse. Could you put a higher PSI pulley on your kit and keep the OEM ECU?

Nick.
