was there the week earlier was going to go last week but wasn't organised in time. im going again this week are you?

i Drive a Wine Red one with front lip and 18's.

i wont be racing this week. in 3 weeks most probably. but il b there

as a general rule you want to be able to load your torque convertor up to the revs that your engine is starting to produce torque and hp. if your engine starts to make its power at 3500RPM, then that is where you need to be able to load your torque convertor up to. the higher your power comes in, the higher RPM torque convertor you require

would also suggest fitting a shift kit, causes the auto to shift a little harsher between changes but takes the sluggish response out of the shift change. not sure how you can buy them now but you use to be able to get them in stage 1; stage 2; stage 3 and full manual shift. the higher the stage, the harsher the shift and can make general smoothness of your changes driving around town a little unpleasent.

you may find a remarkable increase in your quater mile times by these changes. any reputable high performance auto rebuilder should be able to design what you want if you take in your dyno sheats of your hp and torque readings.

hope this helps.

Yeah thanks i have got a stage 2 shift kit and Transmission cooler, I'm very happy with the shifts it's just getting it off the line that's killing my overall time it either Bogs down or Spins if i load it up against the torque converter it hesitated then it goes.

My ecu's and some accesories got stolen on the weekend so i have decided i'm going to give the emanage ultimate a shot so i will see how that goes even though i think with my old setup if i got a good 60ft and got it moving off the line i should have ran a high 12.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
