Long day and got home 30 mins ago.
The P1 was beginning to max out on fuel around the 540 mark and with the broken valve still in mind Paul Blamire done the sensible thing and allowed head room for safety so it's running at 516 now.
Not forgetting it's now 2.1 rather than 2.0. This would have played a part in the fueling maxing out.
Eventually left RCM early evening with Eureka sitting beside me in the P1 and Crowman & Pieman following in Crowmans BMW (company car). All three mates came up with me at 6.30 am.
Just before we left Paul advised me that he had altered the 9 setting Launch Control dial. 0, 1 & 2 were now boost control only with 3-9 set up for LC with increasing rpm as it was before and a less fierce launch if I use 0, 1 or 2.
Drove out of RCM and ITCHING to floor the thing. The roads or traffic didn't allow me to floor it for several miles. Whilst in 3rd I floored it up to 7500, in 4th and back on the floor but had to lift straight away due to a roundabout ahead. It picked up well and felt good but to be honest it wasn't such a big leap as I thought.
Floored it several more times on the way home and then thought mmmmm its still fooking quick though. Floored it in 6th and noticed the red light on the Turbo Boost Defi which isn't uncommon when you have just had work done on your engine, It just needs to be reset which is a 30 second job.
Got ONE mile from my house and Eureka and I were talking about the LC dial so I pulled up. Checked the dial and it was at 0 like it should be unless I'm going to use the LC. I then floored it watching the boost gauge stop at 1.0 bar !!!!!!!
The penny then dropped about what Paul had told us and I turned to dial to 2, floored the thing and all hell broke loose and thought YESSSSSSSSSSS that’s more like my old P1 :001_rolleyes:
The engine does sound different (louder) and the bangs and pops happen a lot more on normal driving.
Haven’t tried the LC / AL yet but that will be noisier go by the engine sound, so if you are thinking of photos or filming with yer phones/cameras stay well back. I fooked 6 microphones on guys phones so far.
Don't forget the 520 its running at now is V Power only. I still have Meths as an option for a fair bit more power. It's also running in a very safe mode which is good to know.
Will I be using Meths in the future? .......... you know Fudge
Fooking awesome !!!!!!
