russelllinn How come noble need the car for so long?

Sorry, forgot to answer this bit. Actually, I don't know, but apparently this is their standard sort of time they have a car for, for mapping.

Since it's had different internals put in it, they'll be gentle at first with it, before doing the proper power runs.

Noble will install the uprated (550cc) injectors too.

Also you need to map a car at all points of the heat cycles, drive it on the road etc. You can't map a cold start if the engine isn't absolutely cold.

Mine had a couple of flat spots that didn't show on the RR but when driven on a real road they were smoothed out.

This all takes time, I have a feeling SPC quote 2 days for mapping and getting it 100% right 1st time.

The new turbo flang(e) is being finished off this afternoon (don't ask me why it wasn't yesterday afternoon), and is being picked up by Charlesworth first thing tomorrow mornight, so it can be fitted.

Charlesworth have the new turbo flang(e) and are fitting it tonight. Should be getting it over to Noble tomorrow.

Right now the engine has some "running in" oil in it. When it comes back from Noble, it'll have an oil/filter change.

Once it's off to Noble it's pretty much ready to go then is it? Definitely getting close then :biggrin:
