Kaveney Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Will be having my Uprev done at Abbey Motorsport on the 07/11/14 . Car is a 2005 DE with 82K and has a pendulum spacer an K & N typhoon intake . The car has just had a full service too . Will be interesting to see what it is making . Alan Quote

Kaveney Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Well I was thinking 250 at the fly before the Uprev as its the DE engine . Alan Quote
Kev Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Wanted mine done but insurance won't allow it Quote

Lets see who is the closest! Probably a good guess tbf. I'd guess 260-280 ish at the fly although not sure what a "pendulum spacer" is? (Plenum spacer I'm guessing you meant) Would be more Alan if you had an after market exhaust system & HFC's or De-Cats. Good luck & hope it goes well. 1 Quote
Kaveney Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Yes Plenum spacer Don't really want to touch the exhaust as I like the noise as it is and would only get another 2-3 BHP from the HFC . Alan Edited October 10, 2014 by Kaveney Quote
GMballistic Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Yes Plenum spacer Don't really want to touch the exhaust as I like the noise as it is and would only get another 2-3 BHP from the HFC . Alan Fair enough Alan. Imo though you'd see more than just 2-3bhp extra with HFC's over the standard Cats but each to their own. Quote
Kaveney Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 I thought it was only a few BHP for the HFC ? Quote
GMballistic Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I thought it was only a few BHP for the HFC ? Imo 2-3bhp you could get simply by changing your year old oil for fresh new oil. I would imagine the HFC's give somewhere at least between 5-15hp at the fly over "old" used OEM Cats. Just a guess as I've never compared a before & after on the dyno but they are more free flowing than the originals and being new will obviously be cleaner too aiding flow rates more again over used items. Be interested to see what others think but that's what I thought anyway. Quote

Exotic Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 OEM exhaust is quite restrictive, especially the bore size of the piping. HFCs and a decent flow exhaust will give decent power returns as mentioned above, not too mention it would be lighter than the mild steel used in the OEM exhaust. Quote
Kaveney Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 I thought the std system was good up to 300 BHP . Alan Quote
Grundy Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I thought the std system was good up to 300 BHP . Alan Standard system is crap and will corrode before the year's up. Standard system = Restricted left right and centre. Say your current dyno read outs = 260bhp, I'd say 275 after a map, but with an exhaust/decats you'll be looking at 280+ Quote
Kaveney Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Off to Abbey tomorrow for my Uprev but have had a change of mind and ordered some HFC and Y pipe to go with this even after saying I would just go for the Uprev Alan Quote
The_Lord Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Let us know whattl the dyno reads afterwards Quote
Kaveney Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 If its less than 350 BHP I will be very un happy Quote
Kaveney Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 TBH as long as its good to drive and around 250 ish that is the main thing . Numbers are not the main thing . Alan Quote
GMballistic Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Good luck tomorrow Alan ~ hope you enjoy the drive more afterwards. Quote
Kaveney Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Just to update this The car started off with low ish numbers but saw some good gains in the end . + 19.3 BHP and + 12.9 LB/FT Converting this in to old money ( on a rolling road and not hub dyno ) this should add 30-40 extra BHP / LB/FT and make the car around 275 BHP an 260 LB/FT The car Is loosing power and torque with the K & N typhoon fitted as the temp was going up and the std exhaust will not help this as well so if I change this and add a V/S to the air intake we would see around another 7-10 but the extra noise of the K & N is worth the loss so this will be staying .

370Ad Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Congratulations. I wasn't too far off then. Are you happy with the new drive ability? Quote
Kaveney Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Yes the car feels sharper to drive is the best way I would describe it . It is not a massive change but it just makes the car better for the improved throttle and better drive . Alan 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Glad you're happy Alan and not a bad set of numbers. Quote
Kaveney Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 13 LB/FT and 20 BHP on a N/A car is good going in my book Alan Quote
