Zak at Mocom will be mapping as usual - there will be no assumptions made as to what the RON is. He will simply change the advance until it shows signs of detting then wind it back a bit for safety.

CVL turbo will increase the octane of commercially available pump fuel by up to 4 RON (40 octane points).

Independent tests have shown that a combination of CVL Turbo and Shell Optimax will give a Research Octane Number (RON) of between 101 and 102 octane.

CVL Turbo provides flame front control to prevent detonation and is suited to all turbo and non-turbo engines where maximum performance is demanded. It will appeal to track day enthusiasts, rally competitors and other forms of competitive motoring where the additional octane is demanded.

CVL Turbo is suitable for occasional use in vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and is compatible with nitrous injection systems. Use Millers Octane Plus for continuous use in catalyst equipped vehicles.

Extra weight though Dunc :lol:

Is it one of those plates that sits above the rad to direct more air onto it?

Does it keep the bonnet stay cooler? Mine gets so hot it hurts to touch it.

On your oil breathers are both crankcase breathers in use and if so, which one's chucking out the oil? Is it the one furthest away from the bell housing?

Gerry - I have to say I dont know to the temperature side of things as I have done very little mileage with it.

Breather wise - dunno off the top of my head since i didnt put the original catch can on it, but i think it is the left one when looking at the engine - will check though.

Thanks Dunk, the reason for asking is that afaik most 2.5 conversions have the second breather blanked off.

I just want to get rid of some of my excuses and be judged on a level playing field against the clock - if it happens that I come up short, then so be it.

But... the worst thing that could happen is that both the car and I will be better prepared and that is always a good thing

Really excited about July 8)
