Excuses, Excuses:scelp: ....

Iffy excuses from your local Galant owner about the state of their car? Can't decide if they genuinely forgot to polish it, or just couldn't be arsed? One squirt of this will solve the problem!!!..

That is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Unfair, I hate you :Cry1:

I was busy with my mad experiments to further the potential of our cars and I get publically ridiculed because my car is dirty. I herby promise never to post again until I get a formal apology.

Ahem.

I apologise if my posts have offended/upset you Dave. Some of my posts can be vitriolic at times, though I would never post anything with the intent of upsetting people.

Now, put your sewing machine away and get your turtle wax out INSERT INTO post VALUES (JOKE!!!)

D'oh!!!

Caught out again!

The offer of coming to clean my car was very tempting though Kieran!

If Kieran comes round with his van of products, Dave, will you take a few photos? It has got to be a candidate for article/link!

Rhys, I would recommend that you go back to your CAI as it provides a direct route for the cold air to flow, this will however mean that fuel cut occurs at a lower boost level. Remember though cold air at low boost is better than hot air at high boost!

What i found with the CAI is i would get very random boost cuts. Even when setting up the E-Boost we would get some different peak holds INSERT INTO post VALUES (spike) readings eg: 13.8 to 16.8 etc. These tests would be done about 2mins apart, night time, same boost setting and the temp was the same outside. I'm just wondering if the ramp i have that acts like a ram is upsetting the air flow as the ramp directs the air up at the filter and under the battery tray. Maybe the air filter is getting to much disturbed air as it bounces around the small area where the filter is setup causing a miss readingonder:

I can put the CAI back in anytime, 10min job. Maybe leave the ramp off this time? I'm interested to see if that little scoop of mine makes any difference, it's cheap and easy to make so why not give it a go I have no test equipment here so Dave would be the ideal man for the job.

Also I moved the sponge that is on the bonnet prop out of the way for more air flow. Any test results Dave?

And Brind.... u keep missing the letter 'H' from my name.

I did some tests today on the A50 on the way back from Blackpool.........there were no noticable differences with the new scoop, positive or negative. The APEXi registered 278BHP on one occasion, a couple of low 270 and a number of 260s. I did get one reading of 298BHP which got me very moist until I realised I had changed the boost inadvertantly!

As it does no harm I will leave it in and see how it performs long term.......I would like to get some mpg back though as I am currently only getting 20 :INSERT INTO post VALUES (

Ok well it was worth a try. The sponge on the bonnet prop isn't in the way of the airflow Dave? Any chance of testing the stock airbox and comparing it to ur current setup?

Cheers,
Rhys
