True, but nobody in the UK who can really map superchargers either as Mark will testify to.

Yes its been a pain in the arse and yes its cost time and money, but i knew well in advance what i was getting myself into. If the 'overall' car comes back as good as i think it will be when im finished then i will be very happy

If it isnt i'll break out the four star and some matches

I am sure Mase will get your car up and running with all the power it deserves

Too bad I wont be there this time to see it

remember to post the dyno on site!!

Emailed CPL today asking what they though about the situation. The reply i got was basically he thinks the power level was far to high for the standard pistons and i should either uprate them or wind back the power.

Im only making the power that Greddy claim on there website and several hundred below some of the American turbo boys. All the SC uk boys are making more than that.

Having spoken to Guy at CPL several times, he seems pretty sound... he does have a good pedigree in tuning Hondas, so I find it strange that he's written off your problem with a crap remark like that!

The F20c can withstand that amount of horsepower, as everyone as stated before it is down to the mapping, and I would approach Guy again and ask for some help to solve the problem.

As well, most likely to be mapping but could also be:

crappy petrol, low fuel pressure, faulty sensor, no/ bad intercooling... and a million other things

are you checking egt? might be worth it before you melt more pistons?
