Forge FMIC results

[GT3]

Results after fitting a Forge FMIC attached. Red line is previous run with V2 tune (123.3 kw atw, 360NM). Three runs with Forge FMIC fitted (136.2 kw atw, 390NM). With FMIC fitted, power increased with each run (133, 135, 136). An increase of 13kw, 30NM atw.

nice figures!!

[DubSteve]

WOW very nice thats a excellent gain right there!

This is with a 2.5 inch exhaust?

How does it compare to the results of your old APR FMIC?

This might be a stupid question... but is there any reason for the torque to come on a bit later?

[RhysQ]

good results there Neil. gotta be happy with that!! and oh.....haha....nearly a 400Nm petrol Polo monster!

Sean – custom 2.5” dp and high-flow muffler. ..yeah seems to compare well with the APR FMIC (Forge 13kw, APR 12.5kw).

Sam – no that’s a good question, seems to hold torque much longer.

Rhys – yep, who needs a diesel now lol. Although, with a u-tube edition of Sam’s muffler, the sky's the limit power-wise

You Brisbane guys have to remember that 137kw is what Eddy makes with the APR FMIC and exhaust.....

So in all they still seem to be the same ........

AND

Once my exhaust is done I expect to make around 136kw as well as the exhaust/donwpipe has proven to be worth 7kw atw at least.

So it seems reasonable fair to deduce that the Polo's with any decent exhaust and any decent FMIC will be making anywhere between 135 and 137kw atw...

Because there weren't many options or alternatives around the first time I fitted a FMIC. Things have changed.

There's other Forge resellers around, and yes, I have the option of selling them if I decide to. But unless they perform well, I wouldn't consider it. Unfortunately, importing FMICs from the UK isn't cheap. Others resellers may decide to, that's totally up to them.

Think my sig makes it clear I have some potential interest, but I'm not asking anyone to buy anything, simply sharing the results, nothing more.

And just my 2c you DO NOT NEED brand names for horse power. Never heard so much crap, yes the brand names are good as they are tried and tested but ive seen great results in the passed with fabricated items and some serious brain work and thought and not just bolt on
Sorry but my 2c
