Yeah paused on graph...gotta be flywheel. Rotary Revs has a hub dyno...his was 197bhp at Wheels ..the bridge shown on the plates is same as ours. Theyve mapped it as well.

Well, still playing and went out a sunday afternoon blast....fair bit of boost and looking at the commander...

came to the conclusion gearing seems a bit short and although mashing to 7500 on the tacho getting into 5th quite often? well it turns out 7500 red line is actually 5500 as indicated bu the commander and 9k on the dash opens up a whole lot more fun!

ive got some shaking at the steering wheels so either brakes or balancing reqd....but got a valve leak so could be the fact the 888 was behaving as a run flat....was on 5psi when checked hot

funny 90deg bend jobby.

also ive been keeping an eye on coolant temps and levels...car stays at 82deg C allday long on commander despite behaving like a hoonigan but ive noticed coolant dropping ever so slightly...and sucking on the pipe to the overflow plastic bottle seemed blocked...blew and cleared and sucked and got a mouthful of antifreeze...erggghh. so Pela pump flushed it all out and lots of sediment in bottom,,,is there a guaze or grid in the suction pipe?
anyways its all clear now and re top up ran up til fans came on/off and left to cool and will recheck levels as ive been doing.

in addition need to stick me beak in the apexi manual and work out what the functions and gizzmos do as have not got a clue.

in sensor check VMOP is highlight flashes on off and 0.99v so looks like a feedback prob with oil metering pump...shes premixed at mo. had a look where it is and found the checking procedure in the manaul so a job for another day.

white wheels...bedding brakes in.lol. leaking profusely from rubber seal....googling says they clamp from inside rim and its looser than all the others.
oil leak seems to have stopped

( does have some).

Those apexi commanders are what cause more problems than anything in an FD, constantly looking at it I was. Instead of just enjoying the car, worrying about it blowing up or some crap when there was no reason for it too blow up.

You should be changing gear a couple of seconds after it starts beeping, no sooner unless your driving around town hahah
