Uber Cerb on the way...

[cacatous]

Looking forward to having my car back after handing it back to Steve Howard at Insane Racing...

Going for a full decat and suspension adjustments...

Anyone driven a Cerb with Racing throttle bodies?

[davidd]

No but will it make a huge difference with the factory ECU?

I would be very interested to know how it goes..

Trip to Austec perhaps...?

I heard that the last AJP 4.5 with Racing throttle bodies got to nearly 500hp (Dyno verified..)

Are they what are fitted to the so called GT homologation specials?

[cacatous]

and the TVR Tuscan Challenge cars...

Dont expect them to be cheap then!

Standard Weber bodies for the Honda B16C6 Spec R are £1300 and there are only 4 of them!

other thing is a ported set of std 4.2 inlets outflows the 4.5 set-up. the racing ones are 2mm bigger i think, don't expect big power gains, the poor port shape is the limiting factor .. 20 bhp gain tops i'd say .. the mapping is where the big gains come for little money ..

Oh right... such as the austec ECU Joolz?

[joospeed]

yup, the flowed inlets i do pick up 10-12 bhp, 15 bhp was the max i ever saw, you can't feel that on the road and it's just for people who like to talk numbers really, it will make the car faster thn before so is worth having, jus it's so slight you can't feel it, you need 30bhp to feel it on cars of this power output.
what does make big difference is boosting torque throught the rev range, adding torque everywhere makes cars much faster, improving flow only boost power when the previous system was trestrctive ,, that's probably the last 1000 revs on your car, how often are you up there!? .. so porting isn't as good a way as mapping on the cerbera, unless you're going to do the inlet ports in the head which is the main area for work on the red rose.. hence it's 4k price tag!

Joolz, wouldn't the exhaust manifold seriously restrict things on a Cerb too? ie 500bhp on a racing Tuscan but same engine in a Cerb with Cerb exhaust would struggle to get to 440bhp? Just a thought.
