say "hi!" to going backwards in power.

No cold air partition means you suck in some very hot air. Hotter air = lower power.

take it back off and put the old airbox back on, till you get yourself a partition. Trust me your car will be faster that way. Unless it runs on Magic, then just like a good HKS sticker you will have another 100hp.

Thats actually wrong information, on its own the hks sticker is only good for 50hp, you need the apexi as well for 100hp :D

catback is only half an exhaust and turbo back is full exhaust....

most people do catback cause:

1. its cheaper

2. it has a bigger pipe out the back still

3. & changes the sound of the car

catback does nothing for performance... turbo back does.

i think the tsutsutsu was his way of writing flutter noise :bunny: ....

lol :blush: i swear the car feels different... maybe im just :devil: lol but i swear the car is smoother all round. I left the top half of the factory airbox just sittin over bit of the pod, i noticed the radiator blows alot of hot air back that way so if i can keep some of it off with that cover, and hopefully get some cooler air from the funnel then its all good lol, also makes it more inconspicuous... cept when it goes VSHHHHHH. What other things can be done to get cold air too it without moving it out of the engine bay?

Held the old filter up to the light nd i could see dim light through it... but yeah...

lol re the mods back to front, i had a good opportunity arise to get parts cheap from YOYO which i was gunna eventually look for so i nabbed em. (and its a corsair not a laser :D lol) everything works great yoyo, thanks bra

Whats a turbo back exhuast???? compared to the catback???

Yeah i know that's what he was trying to write i just wanted to know what actually made that noise.

Now the difference between turbo back and cat back is simple.

It's basically where they start. Cat back starts from behind the cat and turbo back from behind the turbo.

Go turbo back mate!!! Split dump pipe, front pipe, hi flow cat and cat back exhaust and you'll be laughing!!!

A good cat back gives a substancial gain in power, the factory mufflers are very restrictive. Turbo back exhaust is regardless still the ideal in any case.

If you can feel more power then its probably cos your hand is on your nuts and you got a nice sensation....covered time and time again

stock box is only restrictive when you get to about 220-240 kw...main thing you will notice is the the stock in take pipe will suck closed under full load. I dont like the gay rice pod sound but I am stick with it cos the stock box doesnt cut it at 260-270 kw. This is with a good high flow panel filter also....I think I tried K&N and a trust foam one. If you make the box bigger you can fix up the restriction...but its too much hassel.

If you have a new FMIC there will be a a nice 3" hole from the old return pipe...get some 3" flex pipe and make yourself a new front bar feed...costs $5. Then box up your pod...I got a good plastic setup form this guy in ebay for $100...its really quite good, fits the hole perfectly and nearly seals properly! Doesnt look like he sells them anymore whihc is a shame...

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.

      Being a race car, and being in the era of the Arduino, one would think it would take little effort to build a controller to do the spraying based on a real physical measurment. Waaaaay back in the dim dark AS days, JE "designed" (as in, he had help) a microcontroller based intercooler spray system. It watched the difference between a temp sensor stuck on the core and one in the free air in front of the cooler, and if the temperature difference exceeded a (settable) threshold, it would activate the sprays. Thus, it only ran water when there was an actual need for water. If you stop to think about the actual physical things that are going on in that stack of coolers, there's probably at least a couple of triggering conditions one could come up with, and one could probably even run one pump with more than one solenoid valve, to allow water to be placed where it is needed, or at all points at once (if it is needed at all points). We're in the age of science baby. But.... I suspect that intercooler water sprays are on the forbidden list in most circuit classes, no? So only good for Targa type stuff?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
