LOST power after changing from CM to SFS

[Seal_LCR]

Just changed my creation Motorsport TIP with billet adapter to SFS 80mm TIP

Logged against the liquid gauge before and after with the air temp only 2degrees difference (cooler when run with Sfs)

I actually lost 4bhp!!!!

I have also removed neuspeed heatsheild as well but can't seeing that being much of a prob until the engine is really warm

I would relog with the heat shield as per cm tip. I,ve logged various tip designs and what icve learned is some give a little more up top and others midrange. The only real way of knowing is on the dyno but graphing airmass across the rpm range and graphing over several runs should give an indication.

 

[Seal_LCR]

Yeah gonna bolt the heatshield back in and see what happens.

Sounds better and supposed a better quality TIP so needs mapping now

 

[Richy Cupra]

Don't say this mate, Im gonna go for the SFS TIP to replace my CM one as well. You would think it would improve it given the better design the SFS one is

 

[Seal_LCR]

Well ill keep you updated but peak power is down and torque is the same. Going to check figment and re install heatshield tomorrow then relog it and see what's going on

 

[cupra-barn]

How did you get on refitting heat shield etc dude?

Any gains?

 

[Seal_LCR]

Refitted and it is 2bhp down. But air temp was 5-6degrees up from last night? I'd say no change but a better product I hope

your judging this from LG only... Different days....
Whats the actual peak g/s you are seeing different.

Billet TIPs for the win... B5 remains the best, highest flowing TIP.

Least its not a dramatic decrease, when you map it then you will get the gains from it im sure

It was the same day first but last nights was with heatshield back on. Will log the g/s next time I'm out

I will be buying a v2.2 just wish I'd brought one from the start it would have saved me some £££

Personally I'd not buy the Sfs if I was to do it again I'd go straight to v2.2

Load of baloney!

Liquid guage is about as accurate as my future reading skills

 

[Seal_LCR]

I beg to differ as I've logged mine with vag com and liquid and its the same and people have rolling roaded there cars and the liquid has confirmed

 

[ibizacupra]

maf is subject to ambient conditions remember.. so some variance in the readings is inevitable

 

[Seal_LCR]

What's the delivery like on your billet v2.2 bill might be swapping straight away lol

 

[W11TTX]

How much would you want for your sfs? Is it the 3" version and what colour is it?

 

[Seal_LCR]

It's blue mate and there £125 new and its been on the car 3days pm me
