yeah, never knew what the fascination was as it barely did anything well and had way too many negatives.

• Those blocks seem to work well on a completly stock car but once you get header and a tune their benifit seems much diminished and if your on e85 as well dont seem worth tue trouble.i think follow @Wayno 's lead and sell them once you get header installed

Shall follow the lead on that one - I haven't been impressed with them on a stock engine so far, two be honest.
In fact - We did a dyno day the other day.
Mine made 143.5 which was lower than a completely stock auto on the same day which did 144.4
It was pretty embarrassing!!

Peak was not the point of the block in the first place.

as s2d4 said those block are ment to shift the peak power lower in the rpm range not rearly increase peak power.

As our 98 fuel is not much good, the power you make on 98 petrol is very dependant on the brand of fuel your using.

unitedP100 fuel was better but has been pulled from sale.

BP ultimate or Shell seems the best 98 but on stock tune you can still get significant knock which drops your IAM and reduces power.

General conscious then to remove them from this type of set up?
Ive been scoping out for other ZA1JA01I tunes other than the standard Stage 2 UEL tune (which feels good via bum dyno)

The powerblock install cost me two cartons, wonder if I can get them to remove them for 1 :-)

Cheers for the help boys.

I'm also having issues here. Plugged in my OFT this evening. All was going well like the video until after it read my stock tune.

Now it just shows this message.

[Wise]

After that I plugged the unit into the computer and downloaded the OFT manager latest version 1.15.

I also downloaded the V 2.062 OTS Maps. I can't work out how to put these on the device though. I go into upload data and it keeps telling me that the maps are the wrong size or something.

After this I went back downstairs and plugged the OFT back into the OBD2 port. Now all I'm getting when I select tuning is the message above.

Can anyone help me?

I am pretty sure that means the oft cannot autogenerate a tune for your rom calid, from the preloaded database.
use oft to read your calid under diagmostics ecu info, download the latest complete tune files from oft site and load it up manually

see oft tips link below

make sure you unzip the tunes then go to the directory for your calid series like G series , C series and load up the .bin tune file you want. the oft will not let you load tunes that dont match your original calid.

Thanks for your help mate.

I've unzipped them using rar. The files inside the C and G Bins appear on my comp as VLC files.

When I try to add them into Modified 1 or Modified 2 or so on. I get the message below.

Use the "G" files for your car, should work :/
