So, as some may know, I was part of the group buy for the Infinitas/GPower supercharger a few months ago. It’s been a bit of a journey, but today, we finally have an MOT!
Here is a brief history of my life for the past few months
Supercharger arrives - super excited
Off to Ross at RBM to have it installed
Install all good (Ross and his team are awesome)
After a little bit of driving, gets a misfire
Back to RBM to check coils, plugs etc - all good, but new plugs installed
Still misfiring
Change MAF
Still misfiring
MOT due, so off for its inspection (in hope). Fails badly on emissions
Decide it must be a map issue - Inifintas swear it isn’t, but aren’t much help TBH
Contact Josh at Severn Tuning. Long chat, decide to upgrade injectors ahead of custom map
Injectors arrive - some install challenges but go in ok
New map from Severn Tuning - still running rich and very smoky
Replaced pre cat o2 sensors, start thinking about new cat…
Lots of diagnostics runs/tests and some head scratching with Josh
Josh works his magic, 2nd new map installed
Seems to be running ok so…
… off for MOT - gets a perfect emissions test score!
We’re back and legal again!
Now just need to start driving it - have run it around a bit during the process and it feels like it just has so much power on tap and urgency right through the rev range, so looking forward to giving it a proper test.
The injectors were 365cc (stock is around 240) so we should be getting somewhere around 340/350bhp, and at some point I’ll dyno it to find out.
Suffice to say, after a long 3 months working through the issues and spending way more money than originally planned, I’m a happy man. Huge thanks to Josh at Severn Tuning and Ross at RBM, recommend both highly.
Off to the Alps in July for a 6 day road trip including Furka, Stelvio and Grossglocker
to play with all that power, and my new LSD.
