Good work Madaz, should make you the resident video editor :)

Cubes - if I recall JazzaR33 had AT of 24 & IT scrapped in at 40.

Well afraid to say your recollections aren't quite that good, you plan on going into politics? :P

Sure the AT was only 25, but the IT was 49, so not extra cool even when I went on. And I was probably only about the 5th 1 on, with my engine still nice & hot, having gotten there only about 15 minutes earlier. Either way very pleased with 177.2kW considering I have no fmic yet.

Oh & it was me you were talking to when Chops Calais hit the dyno, not Nozila :O I missed out too, was spewin'

Are you running a Pod Jazza? Would most likely explain the temps, used air from the radiator was probably being passing over; either that or the temp sensor was slightly placed incorrect.

With my CAI I see temps pretty much spot on the AT temp. Within a degree or two.

Its definitely worth it. Both for economy and power.

In shootout mode the higher the IT sensor reading the greater the correction applied to your power reading.

So grab two cars making the same power; one with a cai, one without. Hit the strip and the one with the cai will be quicker.

Which is why I'm not a believer of placing the IT sensor on the pod. It really should be placed in front of the car in the airstream leaving the fan. The results would then reflect real world results more accurately.

Due to the setup of shauns dyno its not uncommon to see the IT temps reading lower than the AT temps. The fan blows air in from the front of the work shop where as the AT sensor is located up near the PC. I believe we saw this occur last year.

Yeah man hurry up and mod the hell out of that S15!!

or you could buy my S15 for $29k Dean and sell your stocker www.andrewn.da.ru :P .... 203rwkw and ready for a bigger turbo to make 250rwkw+ easily - all the supporting mods are already done! /free plug :woot:

the placement of this sensor could this be why i saw 20kw less than my last run :woot::P

Andrew :Gotta say awesome car there! and i know its fast aswell :laugh: Is it advertised on Ns.com?

Leo: When i can be stuffed, i will put on all my mods. Im concerned about the manifold thou. Dont know what to do. Infact I was thinkin about putting the exhaust and fuel pump on, crankin up boost, and doing a dyno run. Then put on the manifold, and do another dyno run. Then comes the powerfc, gt2871r, and supporting mods. Hope for 250kw

Also how loud is the 040 Pump? I think ill still get one.

Bends and welds are kept to a minimum to improve exhaust velocity and pipe length is made as even as possible (equal length). With these fitted you will see a power increase from around 2200 RPM all the way to 7500 RPM providing a broad power range. With a stock turbo the power/torque drop off above 6500 isn't as bad and boost comes on a little earlier providing stronger mid range torque that hits like a bomb. The top end power increase is due to 2 reasons. Firstly; boost doesn't drop off like the factory manifold does. Secondly; the efficiency is improved at high rpm driving- this was optimized for people using turbo upgrades such as garrett and HKS turbo's. Perfect for street/track cars.

In addition to this they also have a sound change which is inevitable with the velocity increase in the exhaust. The exhaust does sound tougher with these fitted. Expect around 20 rw hp on a mildly tuned SR with exhaust and air filter. Bigger gains have been seen with more modifications/better quality parts fitted but due to so many variables, the gains have been from 27 rwhp to a whopping 39 rw hp on a severely restricted car (This car had all the bolt on goodies).

This doesn't just add top end power but increases overall power and power under the graph making your car overall quicker in a variety of situations. Its easy to make something that improves power, but improving power over the entire RPM range and partial throttle is not so easy. This will fit your stock turbo or another bolt on.

However there are some people that have had good results with them, hence why i was goin to dyno it then make a decision. I mean ive already spent 200, might aswell spend another 50 and find out.

I bought a manifold like this for my S15 and it split within 3 months :laugh: I noticed no additional power, but the car sounded cooler. Expect around $400 to have a workshop refit the old manifold when it cracks.

nah Duc - I had mine HPC coated - didn't help one bit.

So I was out of pocket $350 to buy, $220 to HPC, around $400 to fit, then around $400 to refit the old manifold. Needless to say I am EXTREMELY unhappy about it!

My tip is get a larger/baffled sump Dean - I picked up a Chinese Trust copy for around $250 from memory, and it dropped my oil temps by 10-15 degrees (with no oil cooler)!

Dean man. Don't waste your time with the manifold. As you can see Nightcrawer and I thought it wasn't worth it. The only good thing was that they made the engine note sound nicer. The power quotes are bullshit by GKTech. He has no proof to back his claims. You might gain maybe 5rwkw, at the expensive of turbo response which was my experience. Not worth it man! As you can see the stock manifold isn't a restriction yet!

If you want to get a manifold, the Tomei Expreme one is a good one. But even then with their own dyno graphs it looks like you only gain like 10hp on a worked motor!

Oh yeah the 044 is a quieter pump. Funny on the Dyno Day it was whinning to all hell but usually its silent. Depends on how hot the day is. But my old 040 was still louder.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
