Slipped in a "de-cat"

[Phil_Edge]

Fine tuning, fettling and tweaks at the very end of a complete rebuild and RR upgrade revealed some Cat problems - clearly the only way to fix that was remove them

"Almost" guaranteed to be ready for this weekend.

Weather forecast? Check.

Cant wait, its been months!

Maybe we should open a sweepstake for guesses at what she'll come back with; BHP/Torque? From totally stock Cerb, to RR with all the bits and a late de-cat entry.

Any thoughts on what I'll be expecting? 400 ish? Or is that optimistic?

[itiejim]

My 4.5 with a head skim, some head porting and a remap by TCS gave 401 bhp (with the cats in).

So 400 is certainly feasible. Keep us posted!

[Phil_Edge]

Ooooh.... well, minus the cats and a few additional bits and pieces in a full rebuild, might get a little more... My fingers are firmly crossed

[Tyre Smoke]

Nah, 380 tops. You know these cars love to build you up, promise you the earth then let you down at the last moment!

[FUBAR]

Decatted RR 4.5 with remap? With or without short suction, I mean induction?

Im going for 410hp without and 425hp with

[Phil_Edge]

No induction work...

We could have a full sweepstake at this rate

Calling Austec later to see if the outlook for the car being ready Saturday is as good as the weather forecast!

[The_Edge]

Looong time coming, but fornthe record, came in at 408.6

Middle ground by all accounts...

Very happy with the smoothed out feel of the (finally) well sort girl

Blimey, weren't you getting this done for the weekend just over two years ago? That's one hell of a mapping session

Great result though, enjoy

Ish.. But yeah

Various other bits and pieces in-between... Plus was off the road formamfew months (dry miles and all that) resulting in a prolonged running in of the new rebuild etc... Certainly dragged out tho

Is that 408 with a remap, red Rose and short induction?
Dd short induction add anything? Sometimes on a red Rose you can actually see some negative impacts from short induction.

Hi Gary,

Yes. Hit the nail on the head...

Was the first on Austec's new tangled gadget which allows them to work the two banks independently, quite interesting mini-Tour...
