turbo

25 stockers generally run out of puff right at the top

drop your exhaust if you think thats the restriction but i think you will find it will be roughly the same

25 turbos on 25's generally run out of puff at the top, just like 20 turbos on 20.

25 turbos on 20's give the RB20 that extra breathing up top that the stock turbo doesn't.

Updates?

I'm looking for highflow cat. but not sure about the xforce ones. How did your investigation go?

well i went in for a dyno run to find out if it was the cat, but ended up spending 2 hours working out why my car was running like crap (turns out my AFM died on the way to the shop)..

i've decided to "increase the flow" in my cat and i can feel an improvement. Hopefully put it back on the dyno soon and see for certain whether the problem is fixed.

But the general consensus i've read is that the ceramic hi-flow cats aren't much better than the standard cat, where as the metal internal cats are good (but may not meet legal requirements).

Ahh, so your cat was a ceramic one. yeah, I was going to avoid all ceramic ones.

Metal cats should be fine for meeting the legal requirements. It's only when you drill your cat or de-cat your car that the inspectors get pissed off.

I'm sooo tempted to drill mine out, But I just know that if I do I'll get caught and cop the big fine...

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
