I took up the very kind offer of a free rolling road run, at Red Dot Racing, Watford, by virtue of me having a GSR induction kit.

The only modifications my car has that could effect power output are the GSR induction pipe and Ragazzon back box with straight through centre pipe.
The results below show peak power to be 109.3hp which is a good 10% above what I believe to be the car's standard 99hp. I am pleased with this figure and I am still eagerly awaiting a re-map should one ever become available.

For those that are interested I travelled almost the entire length of the M1 from Leeds to Watford. I took advantage of the reduced traffic congestion that Sundays offer, and managed the whole motorway part of the journey at between 80 and 85mph. For the that day's travel the trip computer read 37.2mpg.

and you went home before i got there

Interesting stuff, everyone seems to be pleased with the results of the kit.

Interesting too to note that the graph you posted shows less torque, less bhp and higher transmission losses than the one previously posted - the previous car didn't have the benefit of the sports exhaust though.

Shows how variable results can be even from the same dyno, and it's the shape of the curves that are more important and reliable than the headline figures.

That's a good figure, although it would be interesting to see what the car makes as standard to compare it to and also eliminate "optimism" in the rolling road

That didnt load for me my PC is strict and wont allow porn..

Don't know if this is a suitable thread to ask but here goes :

1) The GSR kit has the filter low to the ground - does this mean it needs to be changed more regularly than, say choosing the BMC option ? Does GSR supply same ?
2) Can the Ragazzon exhausts be fitted by a chain such as Kwik Fit or do members recommend using a specialist ?

Thks for your help

bmc needs cleaning more often it works like a vacuum cleaner

Let me add my graph up again, for those who missed it first time.

Also, on the run above, was Sports button ON or OFF?

On my stilo it was changed every 6 months and by that time it was gagging and not serviceable after that time..hope that helps..

twice as long between cleans to a bmc cda then cool

and with the gsr one being so cheap you could get a spare so car isn't off the road for a day drying the filter like the bmc

Never had one so can't comment:shrug:but I do know that fiat dont change the standard one until the 36 thousand service ..beat that one..

If a filter requires cleaning more frequently doesn't that mean it's doing a better job of filtering and letting less cr@p through?

a closed filter will catch an hold all the big crap flying past. like leaves, bugs even the odd bird.
but with an open filter the big bits fall off

The sport button was off.

I agree with the comment that it would have been interesting to see a standard 100hp ran back to back with mine to see if this aparent 10% is as genuine as I hope it is.

As for Kwik Fit fitting the exhaust, based upon a friend's experience they will only fit a system that they have sold you.

I fitted the exhaust myself, you just have to be brave when it comes to sawing off the old pipe infront of the middle silencer. If you remember the old mantra of measure twice cut once you should be fine.

Pardon my ignorance but could you elaborate ? What tools etc would be required and how do you ensure a seal between the old and the new ?

Thks for your help !

I've used this for years to seal between two sections of exhaust pipes [it does what it says on the tube ]

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...ogId_10151_productId_164909_categoryId_165625

Here is where I made the cut, the replacement pipe just slides over, a sealent like the one shown above should keep it air tight. A small metal saw will get through the metal quite easily.
Other tools needed include a socket set for the bolts and WD-40 or similar to help the old bolts off and ease the hanging arms onto the rubbers.

jacking the car up on a trolly jack, (with axel stands underneath just incase it falls) will give you enough room to get underneath.

A second pair of hands would be useful if you plan on doing it yourself.
