After a very successful Stage 1 for engine modifications to a newage (in this specific case a twin scroll JDM car) we had learnt a number of things about what showed favourable results and perhaps what didnt. The key goal was to maintain and try to improve driveability, but to also keep everything cost effective. Finishing with a car that was more driveable as standard, but by still acheiving over +50bhp and +30lbft more than the base test was very pleasing..... and all for minimal costs. Of course as explained in Engine Stage 1, it's not all about hardcore figures as real road driving is much, much more important and Stage 1 certainly delivered on that.

Is it possible to improve further?
Easy answer should be yes, without a doubt (famous last words)...... but could this be achieved whilst still maintaining and more importantly expanding the driveability, whilst still being cost effective?
Only one way to find out........
Use of additional tools to help us gauge performance increases and help us understand what is going on
For Engine Stage 1 we spent a lot of time using PowerStation's excellent Rolling Road facility as a means to gauge power increases. Whilst we would still be using PowerStation's Rolling Road facilites for Stage 2, it was decided to look at other forms of facilities available to use along side PowerStation's rolling road to see what effect modifications have on the cars performance.
