Spent yesterday at TDI North getting a set of their cams fitted with some 440cc Honda injectors.
Happy enough with the results considering it was a warm day in Warrington but I was slightly disappointed with the torque.
Paul has put it down to the design of the Piper header and it would seem it’s restricting the mid range torque quite badly. Thankfully it won’t be on for much longer as I have already purchased a PML header so next time I visit TDI North they will be fitting the new header for me and then tweaking the map. It should be somewhere between 175/180 in the mid range so the header is badly letting it down at the moment, hopefully the PML will rectify this.
My car actually made 3lbs ft of torque more last time it was mapped and the curve was really smooth which is no longer the case. I’m sure that will be put right with the new header so I’m quite interested to see how it gets on next time, hoping to get it fitted in maybe October time.
Power wise it’s what I expected due to the temperature as last time mine was on the dyno it was a cold November morning
One of the Civic Cup EP3’s was in for a tune due to a fuel pressure issue and that pulled 245bhp but previously pulled 259. There was also a K20’d EK4 in for a remap which made 268bhp (previously 275).
Massive thanks to all the lads at TDI North
