Guest Olly_K Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 nice post !i've voted yes because vince said there weren't any problems with mine and i was with him, although when i floor it, the torque is amazing, then at 4k i can feel the car go flat for a second and then it picks up again, but it doesnt pick up all that well. maybe i should have got BHP cams and not torquey onesSupercharger next !

FishWick 21 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Yep for me too, but initially it was binding. Vince sorted it though. Interesting regarding yours Olly, especially as you've done the cams and remap and 200 brake with 200 pounds is far from shabby!I think it's just a physcological thing due to the slug of torque depleting abruptly at 4K. Remember how it was when standard? Nothing till 4K! Well it's reversed now!I must admit, eversince I've fitted the AMD throttle and remap, mine pulls very hard to the redline, way better than standard and I've got the standard cams still.Best get that blower on if you're still power hungry!

Eat this 2 Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 the only mods iv got r a straight through zorst and an induction kit im VERY power hungry and VERY skint lol Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 kev whats interesting about it ? do you think 200/200 is good ? i was there when nickantera's one hit 210, and he had everything i did except different air filters. But like vince said, every engine is different, mines just done 109k now, so maybe a rebuild ? Not too interested in the figures, moreso the way it drives, and it drives gooooooood !

six appeal 53 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Mine works, but again feels as though it has a slight drop just after the 4k mark, then picks back up again. But god is like a different car since fitting it especially round town! Link to post Share on other sites
mina 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I know what will plug that hole at 4krpm (:-> Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Interesting in that 200 is lower than some of the others but as you've mentioned, that's the way the cookie crumbles with some engines.I got some power back after a head rebuild and new chains etc, not to mention a MUCH smoother running motor. Haven't got any figures yet but it 'feels' up there around 210.Not too fussed by the numbers either, just so long as it delivers the goods to the tarmac, which it does.

Joe M 0 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Mine seems fine, had a few vacuum problems at first but all sorted now.268 cams are now high on my list for next mod though. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 The only problem I've had since picking my car up on Wednesday was the vacuum hose coming off the actuator on the Schrick yesterday. I've secured it with a clip now.Couldn't be happier with the performance. It pulls hard from 2500rpm now, rather than from 4000rpm as before. BIG hit on the fuel economy though. Down from an average 28mpg to 23mpg.There is further to go with conventional tuning. The throttle body remains the most restrictive part of the intake. I reckon changing it for an AmD big-bore one would liberate even more horses.A group buy on superchargers would be a great idea though, once everyone's wallets have recovered from the Schrick-bashing![ Edited Fri May 28 2004, 11:42PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

Down from an average 28mpg to 23mpg.[/quote']I found the same, I reckon its because the car is in the peak torque range more often it makes it more tempting to put the foot down.If driven normally the schrek is supposed to improve fuel economy.

antera309 3 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 In the name of experimentation, I tried extracting the maximum possible economy from the car on my way home from work today (took quite a bit of restraint!). Went light on the throttle and used high gears, but I couldn't get btter than 25mpg whatever I did.Not that I'm complaining. Have had a permanent grin on my face since Wednesday!!

Mangold 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I've just voted yes although my electronic switching box for the Schrick is intermittant! All will be sorted soon though, I hope. Link to post Share on other sites
