The Alien Project - 200 CUP

survived cadwell on sat. Car was sound never missed a beat, tyres and brakes worked a treat and well worth the money. Brakes never faded and tyres offered ample grip.

Only thing is thought gearbox felt bit knotchy now and then when giving it some after awhile :001_huh: this common?

Some pic's, not all of them have been upload yet.

Anyway, Off to RS tuning 2moz for it's remap so see how that goes. Spoke to some lads sat who used them and said i should feel a noticeable difference of how it drives and performs.


Then all needs is a check over, a good wash as covered in rubber, some more fuel and off to Oulton park next wednesday :smiley:
 
Yeh, they from morning runs, i believe he's got another 2000 plus photos too go through so hopefully have few more.

Yes hopefully see some gains, If car just drives better and smoother it'll do me. Im not expecting a massive diff though.

See what Paul comes up with 2moz.
 
RS tuning update..

Been today for the group buy remap. Paul run the car up on rollers with standard map and panel filter... 183.6 bhp - poor but typical 200 under powered.

Loaded the map up and did some tweeks within different runs, final result was ... wait for it!!!.................... 189.1 haha

As was expecting 5-6 bhp gain really


I know it doesnt sound a lot but on the road it's like driving a different car though. soon as started driving home could tell the Car was smoother and rev'd easier. Low down it pick's up hell lot better (torque) and when vvti kicks in it pulls better/ harder. Can feel all improvements on way it drives so im happy with it. well worth mod imo now after comparing the two ( standard and mapped )

exactly - thats a nice improvement in torque between 2500-4500rpm



i had mine done at RS tuning (panel filter and akra evo system) and mine made 180.2 at first but 190.6 after the map

he only did one initial run and said after another run or two the base line would have been higher but he cracked on with the remapping.


afterwards the car definitely feels more responsive and the mid range is a lot better.

N/A cars are hard to tune to get big figures but it all comes down to how it drives - i definitely feel an improvement after the remap.


just comparing the graphs to see what the exhaust makes and mine does make its power a bit sooner than without the exhaust compared to your chart but ultimately it follows the same line.

Had my 200 on there a weeks ago and made 185bhp standard then 194bhp after the map.

My car has run 190 standard on other rollers so it maybe 199bhp now, who knows.
 
Yes graphs look quite simaliar don't they but like say your power band widens more at the top. Better flow of exhaust which what expect from them zorsts.

The torque gain low down on graph, even though doesn't look a lot is really noticeable on the road.




Yes joys of rollers , I could take else where and make more power. Really happy how it drives. Noticed a difference this morning too with been cold. Run and drove a lot smoother
 
Did oulton park in car yesterday. No issues and car never missed a beat. The car is loads better on track with it been map!

Only thing i need too change on car is the rear pads as with having the bigger disc's and better pads up front , the rear pads just aren't up to the task, think need some mintex 1144's or similar too help balance the brakes out.




On the update side things -

Had bro sport take the middle silencer out for extra bit of noise. couldnt see point in a catback as wouldn't sound no diff from normal priced one and defo aint spending 1k on a zorst either lol

On flat spot front, there really isnt one. Im guessing down to the car been mapped. Only time know its there is if stamp on throttle really hard at very low revs.

Great thread! I just picked up my Alien Green Cup last Saturday.

Have you got any videos of the silencer removed as I'm tempted to do the same?
 
Black ST2 mate. Got panel filter and stage 1 map. Can't decide weather go mountune or Revo ATM thou.

if only the Clio power plant had simaliar too the fiesta.

cant wait get it on track!!!
 
Seems we're enjoying each other's cars mate :wink:
