Stage 2 - GSR BMC twin cone induction kit
Well, as a few of you know i had stage 1 of my tune up done a few weeks being my exhaust.. here's the thread if you missed it: https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=55952
and stage 2 was a GSR F14i BMC twin cone induction kit and well all ive got to say is i cant recommend this product enough - in my opinion this is a must for any owner with a 1.8 stilo
this isn't just any induction kit, i researched into the different options avaliable for the 1.8 stilo for quite a while and there was green filter, K&N & pipercross filter avaliable. But these seem really not to do anything apart from looking good and sounding nice and in case's zapping power from the engine when hot. I also looked at the BMC CDA which is in the same price bracket as the GSR with rrp of £183.
But it is worth every penny and with proven gains of 10bhp from an induction kit alone! Espically from a non turbo petrol engine, a remap is only slightly more for this varient!
Here is another thread from Dog how had the induction fitted to to show the proven 10bhp gains: https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=55688 Yes thats right just under a 150bhp with an induction kit alone, also other 1.8 stock stilo that had been rolling road from are freinds in greece and caim back that this varient was hitting the 140bhp mark standard!
So....
I went down to sunny watford to Red Dot racing to meet pete (oldschool) from GSR engineering. I cant stress enough how helpfull this guy is, the customer service is second to none! If you have any question at all, he is very happy to take the time to explain things to you - were other company just want you in and out as quick as possible and to take your money!
I was down the for about 5hours with pete having the induction kit sorted and also spoke of the possibilites of the novitech supercharger being fitted to the 1.8
After having the induction kit fitted and going for test runs after with pete, well i didnt really put my foot down when he was in the car much. But i sure gave it some hell for leather when i got home and the difference is quite noticable the torque delivery is smoother and the engine feel more responsive and a bit quicker.. obviously it's not going to be like a rocket as its only a 10bhp gain but for the money this modification is an essential in my eyes!
Red Dot Racing/GSR engineering are also doing me a live remap and i am going to have it RR before the remap and after the remap. This is the Stage 3, i will post the results when i get this done to show the gains to everybody and anybody who many be a dissbeliver. These guys are not into b*llsh*ting you like some company who claim different gains figure which aren't possible and they prove this on the RR.
Like ive said these guy runs top companys, and i would recommend them to anybody and if you recieve good service you should rave about it to let other people know!
The fitting was done to such a high standard that if the tubing was black you would have thought that it was stock on the engine! But i went for red as it will make nicely with my red strut brace when i get around to fitting it..
So anyway i will stop rambling on now, and here is the pictures:
EDIT: oh it also sounds awesome, i will have to get some recordings up!
