Uwe has threatened me and badgered me (actually he offered money but I hate to see a grown man cry) into letting him have mine which I had welded, he should have it on for the ring so anyone going there at Easter look out for a mad "loud" German in a black M3!

Actually it's the other way round, I threatened to publish these pictures I have of him and he could only stop me with sufficient compensation.
Not quite sure if I get it fitted for the Ring trip as I haven't got a back box for it (......yet  )

What would be really nice for these kind of tests, is if someone could provide a noise meter to do a quick noise test too. For us "trackers", noise is a real problem now, so adding that bit of info would be a big plus for the usefullness of the article.

I don't think it will be long before Mr Plod does a free noise check for me!

I did consider this and will try and get a reading of both the Milltek
and the Supersprint (provided Powerstation have access to the
equipment).
The Milltek is designed to pass the lower 96db days like Combe, and I
think from personal experience, the Supersprint would struggle, but
would probably be ok on the louder 105db days like Angrysea.
Obviously, although you may pass the static tests, you still might run
into trouble getting black flagged for noise out on track. Cant
remember which tracks have sound buckets though... Think those with
carbon airboxes will probably have just as much of a problem no matter
what exhaust they run!

The thicker power and torque lines are the Supersprint run.

Mmmm, 60BHP loss in the transmission seems a little high. No doubting the gains though, especially around 2500-3000rpm.
When are you trying the Milltek?

That's what I thought, and to be honest the graph is much more important than the peak figures anyway. As you said, the slight hesitation/flat stop around 2000-3500 seems to have gone.
Milltek is going on Thursday morning.

Nick, I am not up to speed on the spec of the car, does it have cams ?? Mine does and there is a huge flat spot between 2500 and 3500, interestingly I have the road supersprint on mine with a Scrapiron rear box, but it makes very similar power.

It's the completely standard early 200bhp engine.

I used to have a huge flat spot in that area. Till it got re-mapped (after a re-map) Was approx 20hbp different......

Looking forward to see the graph with MAXX and Carbonbox fitted. I hope you are going to the same Dyno? (and let's hope they will not knock it because it's a competitor product......)

Hi Uwe,
I'm looking forward to the results too. We've got a 'special' manifold going on just before the airbox and tuning so hopefully we can eek every little bit out of the standard valvetrain. Then it might be Shricks, if we can afford it!
All the tuning/dyno work will be done at Powerstation so hopefully a higher degree of consistency. I know Powerstation also sell the Motec/ITG kit, but they don't seem to mind doing the work. Guess advertising to potential customers in the SW is still quite good.

There still th eoption of fitting other cams than Schricks. I can't remember the UK comapnies name, but was there not a pair for £450ish???
