Bang for Buck Upgrades...

[fane]

arhhh ok vspec i was at the skill swap day but i was in madora where it was supposed to be.... oh well sht happens...

update on the cutting im getting in cold weather it must be a boost cut because it is exactly the same as when i hit about 190km and it speed cuts...(not that i have been that fast on a sealed road)

am i right in assuming that....?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, Yeah, sounds right to me. Cold weather will bring the boost cut on earlier:( Sorry about missing you on Sunday.

[ix9]

Yes, Boost cut sounds/feels like speed cut

RSMs get rid of Speed Cut and are the ultimate Rice accessory Not that you need the speed cut on public roads

I get boost cut at around 13psi But if you keep it to 10psi you shouldn't have any problems

[fane]

its cool i'll just have to look for a 400r

might have to get the boost gauge in and see what im running....

Speaking of Bang for Buck Upgrades...

has anyone just bought a longer core for the Stock IC End tanks and welded them up ?

Would be an interesting experiment... just to increase the length, not the height...

Calculatin pressure drop would be another story all together..

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Kym, Doubt the effort would be worth the result:(

[ix9]

Yeah, I'd think so too.... but would be an interesting experiment.

Does anyone know what CAUSES pressure drop across a standard intercooler core ?

[fane]

haha that would be hardcore

half because i dont undersstand what you mean kym hehe

[fane]

now im buying a brand new veilside front bar for my car vspec...

oh well...

painted, fitted all good

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, Cool, I'm sure you'll be happy with it:D

Not only is not available in English, it is not available at all!

It is only released to APEXi Power Excel Dealers and is not as simple as software as it does involve some sort of junction box.

We have the pivot speed meters with speed cut remover for $150.

[rev210]

1) Pineapples $100

(Minimise the wheel spin)

2) 4.8kg flywheel $700

(rev your engine faster taking less time to accellerate and build boost).

3) HKS exhaust cam gear $200

(bring the boost on 500rpm earlier and get a few extra hp over the rev range).

4) Thermal wrap $100.

(wrap the dump pipe to the cat and also the trubo to intercooler pipe, to increase the gas velocity (spool turbo quicker/earlier and reduce underbonet temps).

5)Turbo Dump ,front and decat pipe $400.

6) S-AFC II, $500

[fane]

is that the order of what you would do rev?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, If you do decide to get the flywheel, then do the clutch at the same time, will save doubleing up on labour later:D

[fane]

already done the clutch...500hp racing clutch i dont know brand....

[rev210]

the turbo dump pipe etc. needs to be done before the 'thermal wrapping', other than that do in any order you like.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, Cool, that should last you for a while:D

[fane]

vspec: i'll try and get brand from dan (the guy that put it in) you can tell me whether its any good...

rev: thanks for the suggestions, mate, those mods sound awesome and make sense....the lightened flywheel sounds the best...ideas on where to get it done?? xspeed?? how many rwhp u reckon after all that work at about 10psi.....rev?

[ix9]

Ask Rev where he got his done heheh funny story.

Fane,

Like rev said, you wont notice a rwhp difference with pineapples, lightened flywheel or thermal wrap really..

it's more of a power curve/driveability thing...
