BMC CDA SP12 fitted on original induction.

[Gubien]

Hi everybody

I've finally fitted the CDA SP12 on the original induction!
To start with I wanted a new induction to the turbo.

But we could not manage to fit it, we could simply not get our hands down there!! I would be a big fumble! So we gave up!

Therefore we decided to fit the CDA to the original turbo induction and made an airfeed from cda to the back of the headlight.

Btw. what a mess to get the bumper on again, the clearance with the edge of the headlight sucks! Bu we had it on without breaking anything!

After driving for about 120 km I ran some tests.

They are all measured with tempes GT.
Test are made by getting up to 80(real kph)hold it there, and then accelerate.

0-100 is useless with wintertyres on, so I took some 80-120 without ESP/TRC on:

80-120 kph now/before
4.gear 5,1/5,1
5.gear 6.2/6.9
6.gear 8.5/9,0

So there are a slightly improvement.

Btw. It's sick how cold the CDA are after some intensive driving. It feels almost icy.

It will get some pictures of the sp12 fitted, today.
Best regards, Thomas, Denmark, sorry for my english...lol

Nice bit of kit,its what i fitted to my LCR.

Although i didnt need to take the bumper off to get the air feed to go behind the headlight.

i just removed the battery and the arch linner and eased it through with a bit of giggery pokery
