Rob_Mitchell Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ryan has cracked on fitting the syvecs today. I think they are going to try and map it on the road tomorrow as best as they can, but it needs to go on a hub dyno? Not sure where i would have to take it now lol? Getting very close to the end now!

I phoned them back and they might use SRR just to see what happens but im not really sure, ill let them decide!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I phoned them back and they might use SRR just to see what happens but im not really sure, ill let them decide!. The one by Silverstone is Advanced ME, owned by Dan Turner. That's a hub-dyno too. (Where Jamie, Hodge, Me, etc had our cars mapped). SRR would be fine if you're aiming for 500bhp I think. I seem to remember Jamie running 800 or so on there - so it should be ok?

Yeah thats the one as Ryan mentioned it was Dan's. Im not sure what they are doing, prob best if one of them replyed on here lol. My car has no manual mode and it was something to do with that which is why a hub dyno would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
