Is syvecs suitable for a 4.5 Speed 6?
Discussion
just hope this is a coincidence!Something to note is Dom still gives his warranty on his rebuilds with syvecs fitted. He doesn't have to. He could monopolize his rebuilds with his own ECU but respects Ryan and his product to still allow this not to infringe his warranty.
I have every confidence in both parties products, Power as an engine builder are well established with great results, Syvecs also as engine tuners, their products are well received and have had great results too outside of TVR too. Unfortunately this is the first time the two have been put together. I'm the experimental piggy in middle! It's already cost me over £1K to be the first to merger these products so if it all works out which I'm sure it will, anyone else who goes this route can buy me a beer

lets see how this merger pans out firstI'm glad it's all worked out, big thanks has to go to Ryan for putting in the overtime. So the answer to the title of the thread is a definite yes. syvecs is doing what it should, protecting the engine if sh!t fuel is put in. And Dom has built a cracking engine.
If RG and Power will upstanding warranties if a FFF is put on a 4.5 I might be interested in going this route but can't see what would happen if a valve dropped and damaged the bottom end? Who would pay for the bottom end rebuild?
Probably best to stay clear for now.
Or should I start a new thread "Does an FFF work on a 4.5 with Syvecs"

I can say that Syvecs makes the car much smother/easier start than the MBE did at cold but it didn't have a hot start mapped on the base map so was a pig to start when hot, this should be sorted now. hopefully I will drive the car before Xmas, but need someone to drive me to SSR to pick it up.
I would like to see a Tuscan S 4.5 with syvecs as I'm sure with the better exhaust some staggering numbers would surely be possible.

My Tamora at the moment has the small bore mid section to the back box, this is restricting flow. The Blueflame backbox is only slightly less restrictive than a standard box. When I fit the new exhaust which is the same as a Tuscan 'S' in dia. this will give a bigger HP and a very slight increase in torque. The Syvecs is helping the car run at it's maximum with what's it's got "Safely". Syvecs will retard the engine when knock is sensed through mechanical/fuel problems hence saving the engine from premature wear failure.
Also the RG cats will restrict flow some too, de-catting is needed if I want to get the full HP out of the car but I want to leave the cats in as the extra HP isn't worth the hassel of putting the cats back for the MOT for me.
