hahah

I'm about to do the same thing - go from about 170 to about 220 to 230. It's almost a 30% increase so it should be good.

I also would like to know how much of a difference it will be. I realise the boost wont come on quite as quick (will be using GCG high flow)..

The way I see it I will lose a bit from 2000rpm to about 3500rpm but after that it will be ++..

So I lose power over 1500rpm to gain 3500rpm (i.e. from 3500-7000rpm)

Cheers

Im contemplatig the same power figure as it a cheaper option than my mechanics recommndation which will give me 260+rwkw.

Those with around 230rwkw can u give soem sort of idea of wha tits like to drive? is ther emore wheelspin? is the extra power more useable? etc thanks.

good point. ive ran cars with more power than me and beaten them due to them wheelspinning. they get really pi$$d off lol

yes its a big jump but no its not scary...

but you need to know how to control a car thats sideways.

as soon as i got my license i got into rallying.

(state level) i only used a cheap dato 1600 but the years i spent on dirt sideways have done me well.

im now above 300kws and its still not scary.

you just have to use your head more then your right foot. i mean where can you use 250kws????

you cant on the road. within .5 second your at the speed limit so why do you need any more?

in saying that

because its fun and the feeling of opening her up takes my breath away every time.

so enjoy 230 while your there and use it as a learning curve towards 250 , 270 , then 300 and beyond.

cheers

Yeah gets boring quickly. I have 270rwkw and am trying to resist the temptation to go for 300+.

and thats the rub. It will feel qucik for a while then you'll want more. You'll stop renting p0rno and buying maccers to save for that oil pressure guage, then you'll stop hanging out at the pub on Fridays cause if you save that money you can afford that front mount , always chasing that first buzz....WHERE WILL IT END MAN.WHERE!!!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
