Im looking to have a rolling road set up done on my coupe at Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield.

It has K&N panel filter, Stainless cat back system and its standard bar that. I think its running abit rich too, What am i going to gain for my money ??

Would it benifit from a fuel pressure regulator ?

Thanks.

Im not looking to gain 50bhp or anything daft like that as i know its not possible, well about 3 miles after ive cleaned the exhaust tip its black again ( Sut Like ) :-(

The car also does only 280 miles to a full tank of fuel ( £55.00 ) i dont thrash it, change gear at about 3 - 3.5 K

I just thought having it set up it may run smoother ?

I can't remember what these are standard but I made 131bhp with just a K&N panel filter on my standard 1.8 Coupe. So maybe expect a few more bhp than that with your exhaust?
I loved my coupe. I wish I'd repaired it instead of selling it.

The Z18XE returns terrible fuel economy in the cold weather.

Alright mate.. you wont get anything out of a rolling road.. but you have got a little issue. My daily is an edition 100 astra coupe 1.8 and its on 90k now. i do mixed motorway and town driving and 70miles a day and im get between 350 and 365 ish from a full tank all year round.. with no change due to weather. and ive had the car 4 years now.

never heard of that dave mate

Id say my trip was the same motorway to road use. its about 330 if i dont touch motorways so it does help a touch but its still good. and to be fair.. when i want to get home.. i do give it abit more than you said above. after a bad day lol. i dont kill it though.

hope you sort it mate

Not wrong there! I'm getting about 27mpg round town

Getting serviced on Monday so we'll see what difference, if any, that has.

Not sure why but they are super efficient at staying cool, I'll bet your temp gauge hardly budges this time of year unless you are thrashing it or get stuck in traffic.

Might make a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of difference if the plugs are shagged or the filter is clogged.. Put a sheet of card in front of your rad

Its not a "setup", there is nothing to "setup".. it would just be a power run. what is the point?

Dammmmm Donnas astra returns that fuel economy...

Might as well sell it and buy yourself a VXR and have the same economy
