He meant 40bhp more than bit went in with and it was 30bhp down and should be running 203bhp so will come back with 213+bhp

Isnt it annoying that you have to improve your engine to even meet the official bhp figure of 194 let alone surpass it. Should be a nice drive if it makes 210, esp as we are used to 180-185 in the 197's

R3/V6 airbox
catcams
matched inlets
miltek exhaust with sport cat
remap
lightweight flywheel
IMHO, it should produce 200bhp
Very annoying!
Little update of where my car is at as we speak. After finding out just how ill it was on the RR (170.4 BHP) and a 9:1 AFR!!
Left in the very capable hands of a good mate of mine Matt (AKA Icarus) from Tour De Force Power Engineering www.tour-de-force.co.uk This lad knows his apples let me tell you! Motorsport all his life, if he dont know it, I wouldnt worry about it!!
All my kit layed out!
Some of the proper weather proof connectors
Now these heat shrinks may look ordinary to you and me but they are top stuff, £4 a pop but they also glue just the end of the wires in place when heated to weather proof themselves
Old inlet manifold removed, we have ordered a new one from Oreca (the Cup series engine builsers) in France to run with the new TB
Old DBW body off
Old and new body side by side, the new WTCC body is also lighter which is a bonus!!

Raychem (expensive as hell) heat shrunk into place!

Throttle pedal removed for the new cable unit from a cup racer
BIG inlet trumpet on the body to help force the air in a little
Body trial fitted to check clearance
Thats where we are at as of today.
Matt is working on the rest of the loom(s).
Awaiting the new inlet manifold and pedal assy.
VVT cal will be done next week and final mapping/power testing next Sat
Will need to cut the bulkhead for the TB clearance but will be an easy job.

Cheers pal!! Hows yours doin?
TBH mate they probably arent performance wise BUT..... they run cable throttle (a Jenvely body) and the holes are the right distance apart for mounting the new one, to re do the customer fitted version would be a right mission!!!
