With all the internals done I know why it feels like the engine is hardly working :) not to say its sluggish its just a smoother power..maybe its because I'm used to my raw classic..just a few little changes with exhaust and a map tweak will have her in my power bracket of 350bhp with plenty of scope left..but I'm not one for chasing numbers :thumb:

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

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!

:lol1: 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 :lol::thumb:

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 :confused: strange but true is what I'm telling ya!! :thumb:

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 :norty: but still unsure why? :thumb:

STI Glenn 09 October 2014 05:41 PM

Maybe mapped for 95 octane

Let's hope not!!

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

Thanks daz :) I've decided to sell marmite now I'm sure she will bring the smile factor for someone as I had the grin with every boost as she goes well and is well built :thumb:

2.5" exhaust sleeve to fit 3" system
 
Hi guys can I get a pipe to slot inside the original 2.5" pipe so I can connect a 3" system to my rb320? Or do I need something done to the flange to make it fit? Still looking for decat downpipe and tidy exhaust system to fit on rb..anyone?:thumb:

bry with a y 12 October 2014 09:47 PM

Bug and blobeye exhaust systems fit rb320?
 
Do the bug and blob have the same exhaust set up as the hawkeye (rb320)? :wonder:

Infected by sti 12 October 2014 11:01 PM

Same overall length but different size downpipes and centre lengths iirc.

I was hoping you were going to bonfire it actually Bry :lol1:

I'll look forward to seeing it pop up on sioc when you get round to selling her :thumb:

S3LDM 13 October 2014 10:03 AM

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.

S3LDM 13 October 2014 12:23 PM

For your information bry, I have the Prodrive hi-flow sport cat fitted along with a Blitz nur Spec R and souds nice, yours will sound the same if you go down the same route as me as yours is also a 2.5 :)

Hi lads thanks for info,was thinking decat to get a few more horses but now I think it makes sense to keep cat if its a really good one..be looking for blitz and I'm happy for it too sound anywhere near as nice as yours kid :) let me know if you spot anything..how much should I pay for centre and backbox?? Cheers bud

bry with a y 13 October 2014 06:57 PM

Lol bonfire it! Marmite says it all..but I've loved the drive and power,I'm sure rb will be up there for drivability,so much smoother power and I do like the black as its different :)

bry with a y 13 October 2014 07:19 PM

Alright kid got a plan at what exhaust,leaving sports cat in and gonna get centre and backbox..so blob or bug centres will fit..?

bry with a y 13 October 2014 07:22 PM

best panel filter?
 
Cosworth,pipercross,green, which is best?? Not going down Induction kit route so next best thing.

stonejedi 13 October 2014 07:25 PM

Cosworth,Green,K&N any of those panels will do you fine,there is no best really they are all quality and will do you fine.SJ.

bustaMOVEs 13 October 2014 07:32 PM

Itg

Cannon Fodder 13 October 2014 07:45 PM

Cosworth, K&N or Green all work well in my experience. :)

bry with a y 13 October 2014 07:56 PM

Thanks for advice,will be sourcing one tonight :luvlove:

BBB3 13 October 2014 08:04 PM

I've got cosworth filter in my spec c :)

bry with a y 13 October 2014 09:44 PM

Just bought a cosworth one :)

S3LDM 14 October 2014 10:31 AM

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

S3LDM 14 October 2014 10:35 AM

I have an ITG one here you can have it was only on my car 4 months before I had it mapped and fitted a Rodger clarke induction kit...

you can pick it up this week if you want it save you £45 :) let me know

If you want to send the cosworth one back...
