I don't understand your car being mapped to only 300 bhp, when the RB comes with 320 bhp as standard without any mapping ???

My RB320 is running 360 bhp on the standard unforged engine.

Like Milner States, a remap will give you anything from 350 to 380 bhp, mine ran 376 bhp on just a map

An RB320 definitely a lot nicer than the marmite machine!
I do love my Marmite but I needed sophisticated power at my tender age of 34 and leave the fast and furious car for some younger chap to enjoy

To be honest lads its had me scratching my head! So I asked olly from RCM why is it mapped so low with standard being 320,he replied to say that its a bit iffy to think the BHP was 320 as standard strange but true is what I'm telling ya!!

When new, a load of RB320 club members wet to Weston Performance for a RR day.
All bar one of the RBs achieved spot on or just above 320ps. The one that was low by about 6-8ps & this was put down to cheap low octane fuel from Denmark!

Who built & mapped your RB Bry?

RCM done the build and map fella,In a way I'm glad it's been mapped low so I can release the beast but still unsure why?

Good choice bry I looked at the 320 I really like them. With the classic if you can afford to keep her for track days then perfect

Not too sure what your after Bry

But if your leaving the original down pipe in (sports cat) the Blitz Nur spec R (3" system) back box and center section reduces to 2.5" to marry to the downpipe..

I thought the RB's had one of the best Prodrive Sport catalysts fitted? I would be reluctant to remove it and go de-cat.

As Lee said I think the flange on the end of most systems will be 2.5 any way.

I was lucky picked mine up for £300 but it was off a classic so I needed the brackets altering with fitting cost another £90

You will have to be quick as they do come up for sale not that often but they are usually sold quickly
