thats about right, dont expect more with optimax or nething, that wont make much difference at all! get it dynods with the pod filter tho! maybe even take the exhaust off see how it goes :D hmm they didnt put u into 3rd gear ? strange, i think it wouldve made abit more power than that if they took it about 140 kph

Not bad! typical factory intake and exhaust though. That's whats producing the trail off in your torque curve. Fix that up and you'd find another 2o+kW. See here how a bit more torque can sweeten the deal up. Looks like hes running it in second too. Not a bad thing but the high the gear the lower the power figure can look, so don't be surprised if another dyno run in another gear gives different figures.

I hand made mine, but you can get good ones made by the shops. I'm just running a 2 1/2" mandrel bent mild steel system with a resonator and a high flow hot-dog style mufler. A system like that shouldn't cost you more than about $250ish. Then with a set of extractors you'd definetly smooth the torwue curve out. Bigger numbers will then come once you start tweaking the cam timing and fuel map. Don't think for a second the factory fuel map is perfect!

My old mechanic made one up for me, but then again he couldnt even fix my car so i dont know how good the design is really

My car used to misfire alot too - and you could aways smell petrol :(

The spark plug gaps where wrong and they were too loose some other stuff that needed adjusting also which i cant remember off the top of my head.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
