Sexy Red Rexy
Well as the others have all added something to the build threads I thought I better do the same.
After much banter and anticipation "Jaydee Day" arrived Dom, Chris and myself went to APT to meet Jaydee for our long awaited mapping sessions sadly Gareth didn't quite make it.
I had spent most of sunday tidying up wiring under the dash and fitting a boost controller as I wanted to push the boost up to 1 bar from 0.8, this morning just needed Jaydee to confirm a couple of things with the vacuum pipes and we were set.... I won't bore you with the details as Dom has already explained what the mapping process was.
Now here is the sting !!!! I hate bullshitters ! When I bought my car I was told 399bhp flywheel and 331bhp rear wheels at .8 bar I even had a dyno sheet to show it, well all I can say is what a crock of utter crap ! it was fiction it can't have been my car ! I think the dyno sheet must have been for another car with my registration typed on it.
Now in fear of really going off on one I will explain the car is fast, as Gareth and Dom will confirm and Dom especially as he focussed his build based on how mine performed and has done a very similar set up.
Jaydee has most definatley smoothed the car's performance and stopped it chucking out huge amounts of fuel and smoke etc and it is nicer to drive now than before.
But on APT dyno I was only getting a figure of 330bhp at .8 bar we couldn't wind the boost to 1 bar as my secondaries were at 91% there currently 850's and I neither of us wanted to push further as there was little margin for error, err on the side of caution I say...
I know BHP figures are pub bragging but I do feel slightly cheated and I would love to know what the lying twat did to fabricate the figures I thought I had but hey it is what it is.
The car as I said is certainly no slower now than it was before Jaydee mapped it and its nicer to drive its much smoother and as the others have said power delivery is linear.
The upside is I now know what to do to really get some good figures I need 1680 secondaries, FPR, Fuel rail, I will also check the fuel pump and voltage and will probably do a direct wire modification especially after the issues Gareth and Dom both had today, and then the car will be more than capable of getting much higher figures.... So today in summary was disapointing but has positives on the horizon.
Onwards and upwards

Do you think the reworx guys told him 331 and he calculated the Bhp himself ?
Looked at his old thread and couldn't see the dyno graph. Like you said I can deffo vouch for it being rapid on the road.
Jaydee was such a nice guy and nothing seemed like too much trouble.
