One for the mappers
Had the motor on the rollers on tues, I made 271bhp but that was with an inlet temp of 70C.
lack of fan cooling on the R/R was the main problem, what sort of power would i loose at that temp, as normally its around 40C tops.
Any ideas?

would a front mount make such as massive difference because a friend made 305 with just a front mount different?
Granted he was told its running on a knife edge but i'm finding it hard to reason
Cheers BTW

An FMIC would be a big improvement over the intercooler from a car of that year. The car would need to be mapped though.
I wouldn't be running my car on a RR with fans that didn't work properly, that's for sure.

WHAT!!! I would never even allow the car to be run if there was no cooling fan!
Sounds to me like some dodgy rolling road place, maybe you shoud name then, so i know never to go there!

My std STI suffered badly in hot weather, on a run South from the North Yorkshire Forests I could feel mine losing power as the intake temps rose ever higher. So first mod was a BIG FMIC and then an exhaust, and a re-map.
