Looking at that report I'm thinking that is the evidence of the actual IM240 emissions test.

Hey Mate,
 
Hope it works out for you.  How did you work out the bias percentages?
 
I was told to go for 0.625 front & 0.750 rears if that helps as I'm running the same brake set up as you.
 
Cheers

No not at all. Im 240 is a 240 second (hence the name) dyno drive cycle emissions test whereas MR853 is a static idle speed emissions test.
I have probably performed and signed off close to100 mr853's over the last few years. Mr853 only really picks up bad idle polutants such as badly tuned and cammed up engines. 
If the engine is tuned right there won't be problems passing im240. I have tuned cars that didnt run any closed loop O2 and have easily passed im240. There is a lot of tuning cowboys out there and the mentality is as long as its all good at WOT she'll be right.

Matt,
The bias was checked on a brake tester that calculates brake distribution  front to rear and also the difference between left and right on each axle.
 Regarding m/c sizes, I will report back on how it all turns out....
I dont think I will do brake test this week either as the weather is no good all week.
 
Cheers

Ah, OK - thanks for clarifying.
Speaking to the same Engineer you've been in contact with has indicated I require the IM240 maybe because I'm running aftermarket ECU and intake - you're running stock intake?

Looking at the under bonnet pic on the last page, I'd say it's definitely a OEM S14/15 intake.
 
But I hope that's not a OEM Escort radiator. No where near good enough to keep the SR cool even in daily bumper to bumper traffic.

Paul,
Aftermarket inlet manifold might be considered engine modification and thus require im240, I am running standard inlet manifold.

It sure is stock 2lt rad. I have been running it for last 15 months and have had no issues at all, and thats including summer temps  and all sorts of driving.

Yep, I spoke to Bell Auto today regarding tuning for IM240 and he said it's a little trial and error but it should be achievable.
 
I can only hope they're still around come time to tune it

Paul,
I know Stephen (owner of Bells auto) personally, he is a good bloke. As I said earlier should be fine passing im240 but the mapping will have to be spot on. if you have any questions regarding all that feel free to pm me.
