back to rollers today...last time i had a spoon 4-2 manifold, made 205bhp, since then, have added...
spoon 2-1 downpipe
decat
spoon b pipe (middle section)
spoon n1 back box
spoon panel filter
spoon ecu
the spoon ecu added 1bhp, ran them back to back smoother power curve but they're nearly £700 new
i didnt buy all the stuff new by the way, fuck paying £2k for 3bhp
ah well, supercharger soon
will post a vid of it on the rollers once its uploaded, sounds niiiice.

Did the Spoon ECU prove to be better at any other point the rev range other than peak bhp?

nope, they layed the 2 graphs with stock and spoon ecu over each other on the monitor and the graphs are nearly identical, except of course that the spoon ecu vtec comes in earlier, and the peak power has moved from 8400rpm to 8800rpm.
dave - graphs later, on laptop, no scanner.
the graph shows 208ps, maha software issue, its 208bhp (honest guv).

Welcome to the effect of non Forced Induction tuning on already highly tuned Honda engines!
However I bet its running very nicely.

Why not look for a set of Jenvey throttle bodies? Also, why did you bother with the Spoon ECU? I spoke to Spoon Europe, who said that it has to be sent back to Japan to be mapped, which is no good
IMO, you should have gone with the PowerFC

but its also hitting peak power later in the rev range which means it takes longer to get to peak power. lets see the graphs

because i got it at a good price 2nd hand, and is now on ebay, and should make a healthy profit
its being supercharged, i think 250-300bhp will be enough!

Fair enough if you got it second hand. Was it off a guy called Vinesh?
I think you should go with throttle bodies, as they sound amazing on the EK9
