No back to back testing... I was having a tune issue prior to installing it, and couldn't have been bothered fixing it, then tearing it all out and installing the new plenum and then re-wiring it all again.

I'm using the standard throttle body.

The seat of my pants estimate tells me that its about the same as stock, as far as overall performance goes. It does make the intercooler piping about 2.5 feet shorter tho compared to how it used to be, so the usual theory's about reduced lag are true not that i've noticed...

Col - check out these couple of different sites i found just then about front facing plenums:

what power were you making when u maxed out the GTR injectors?

No idea as i never did a dyno run. Until I am happy with the cars performance i didn't see the sense of paying for a dyno run to fine tune the top end and get a power figure. Plus there is remmoving the front drive shaft and all every time i do a run.

It would easily get sideways spinning all 4 wheels in second when going down an on ramp sweeper onto the highway at about 80k's tho, so thats got to be about 330hp or so at the wheels.

Well I did my first drag event with my GTS4 last night. I managed 3 runs before I my fuel pump started causing eratic fuel flow (its screwed)...

My second run was the "cleanest" but would have been quicker if i'd shifted to 2nd quicker. It was a 13.826 at 116.97mph.

I launched at 6000 rpm, spinning all 4 wheels off the line. The car got traction in 1st and left the line so quick I wasn't ready to shift to second. I lost about a second there, and then had lag till it spooled in 2nd. The rest of the shifts were good.

I need more practice racing, but had fun anyway. I am told you can work out HP from the MPH and vehicle weight though I have no idea how. The car is stock weight and i'm 65kg. Can anyone do the math?

I was running 20lb boost, and reving to 7000-7500. GTR 440cc injectors, at 87% duty. The car was running a full interior with the spare wheel still installed.

i just got a reply from Stryder Performance.

to melbourne i was quoted 545US landed. bout 725AUD.

perhaps u got yours mixed up with the 550AUD landed price.. coz i cant see it costing 13US bucks to you in sydney even at 395US.

anyways.. not to worry.. not my point of my post.

did u have any other issues fitting it ...have u got any pics of the factory parts fitted back up asides from teh throttle body.

thanks

Nope, no other issues fitting it. The main problem was just the water plumbing that goes under the plenum.

Given the opportunity to re-install the plenum i'd have looked got a better place to install the temperature sensors too, though they are working fine where I installed them between the lower plenum water runner, and the front radiator hose section. I'll take a few more pictures if you need it.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
