rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 13, 2014 Congratulations Rob. How is the feeling now? How the car feels like? How about pulling next to the other cars around? It pulls a lot nicer, i'd definitely recommend some FI. You can pull away from people without dropping a gear! If you only have 1 cat that should be fine. You would have thought so, but Mark thinks its slightly down on power due to the cat currently being in the primary cat position. Out of interest what MPG are you getting on semi-spirited drives?

Quixote 35 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Mark, How clean is it with no primary and a high flow secondary cat? Are you monitoring EGT? You mentioned before some concerns about temps for the stock primary cat I like the look of that torque curve, especially if you get rid of the little dip. It shows why in-gear acceleration is so much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Are you monitoring EGT? You mentioned before some concerns about temps for the stock primary cat EGT is only calculated when read either from the P3 gauge or via the ECUtek software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been told it will pass the MOT with just a rear race cat fitted. 1 Quixote reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 good so it is confirmed then with just a sports 2nd cat fitted our cars are still MOT emission compliant . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Mark, mine passed the exhaust MOT test, using the Hayward & Scott 200cel high flow cat and de-catted exhaust manifold (I presume that any 200cel hfc will give the same result....).I had it re-tested after fitting the turbo - same pass result.Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 ......ummm.....does it make a difference that we're comparing the MOT tests with an N/A + Turbo'd 86 against a Supercharged 86? Does it make a difference at all as no one that I know of yet has tested a supercharged GT86 to see if it will pass an MOT emissions test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
