Have you seen the work Nathan has done in the engine bay etc yet? If the map matches, you'll be very happy...

Mine's in having an oil cooler fitted plus some remedial work left over from the engine transplant (a long story which I'll get round to when I know the ending!)

BRDevelopments

About £550 + Vat.

You will need to have a good sports cat/de cat and a new fuel pump to get the most power safely though. Those two things are the only parts stopping me

the car i just bought (from terminator X) had a bob rawle remap. i had heard of him before, and im in scotland.. must be a legend.

dont know if the remap was for extra power, or just to remap for UK fuel.. or a bit of both?
i seen that a good few parts got uprated anyway.

hopefully be taking it out for its inaugural session before new year!

Well, i,ve just got back from API and i must say what a drive home it was too, Bob has mapped the car now with FMIC/ INDUCTION KIT etc fitted and it just flies.. i HONESTLY can,t feel any lag issue what so-ever, the car just keeps pulling & pulling and the noises now with the IN-KIT and the popping etc is fantastic.

Many thanks Bob if you get to read this thread..

Hi all.....just returned from APi after the remap and i must admit the car feels awesome.....There is virtually no lag at all now and the throttle response is unbelievable compared to how it was before. Car feels so much quicker all thru the rev range and pulls so much harder too.

Totally impressed and only cost £172.

What a top top man and a total gentleman too.

Would also like to thank David at APi and Bob Rawle for all their efforts over the last few months....an overall great service from start to finish!!!!!

Thought it was you fella, yes that,s mine, home now covered in Salt... David reckons about 350 now on the VF34 so i,m well happy, it was 340 before i took and it seems more responsive now and pulls harder too..


Yours ok??

Nice motor Pete.....was commenting on it today with my 2 mates.

Im very very happy with mine too Pete,Bob reckons about 320bhp on mine but christ it feels a damn site more than that.

Only thing Bob and David told me to do is to bin my FSE fuel regulator .....apparently they are total crap and ive also heard the same from other ppl too.

Gonna get a SX or fuel lab regulator but not sure on fitting them!!!!

Glad you,re happy, 320 DOES feel quick mate in a light Classic...

Is it hard to fit an SX or fuellab reg????......bob said that i have to get the pressure on the new one exactly as it is on the FSE.

I might entrust this job to someone else tbh....cant afford to get anything wrong at this stage!!!!

I think money is a bit tight and I didn't force the issue, even though we keep good stocks of Fuellab kit.

You know where I am if you want one Lammy, we'll set you up with instructions on fitting too.

Welcome Alan!

FYI the remap was for "UK fuel" & just happened to liberate circa 75bhp more

Enjoy the car
