JKM RR day
« on: 27 October 2012, 20:13 »


Click video ^^^


Not the result I was looking for, but kind of expected from a leaking exhaust (not a large leak, but substantial) and higher inlet temps.
3hp down on the last time there, even though I had since ported the throttle body, hence my expectation of 165hp - 170hp.





Will be fixing the exhaust properly rather than just covering it in paste, and I'll be purchasing another airbox to start remodelling a new "interior" design.

Fuelling is good though (confirmed by Ess_three, cheers mate :afro:), Jim at JKM said it's running perfectly too so there was no need to worry about being 3hp down.

I'll be organizing a RR for February time so if you want to test your car at the heartbreaker dyno then let me know  :evil:

Hiya Khare,

Yes probably up for that in feb - can you arrange some warm weather though?  :wink:

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Be interesting to see what results your car gives at say R-tech's RR in summer.

Probably a few horsepower less. 3hp down from last rolling road even though throttle body was ported since, I reckon about 6hp are missing from mine, maybe more. I know the cause though, so will be sorting it out when I'm back from Brazil.
