Hi guys,

I'm trying to get an idea of what sort of power difference i can expect from my car.

Previously was

Stock turbo and side mount, 10psi manual boost controller (turbo tech)

3" catback

SAFCII with tune

150kw atw

Now

Stock turbo with GReddy Profec B Electronic Boost Controller

600x300x76 front mount intercooler

3" turboback with high flow cat

Realisticaly what can i expect?

I am half way through the project and trying to get an idea ;)

Thanks guys,

Yeah mate spend another few hundred and do a decent dump pipe while you are at it.Its a gain that you are sure to notice.Not for just outright power but your turbo will come alive a lot earlier and with more enthusiasm

With a 3" catback, dump pipe, high flow cat, filter and 10psi mine used to make 170kw to give you a rough idea.

So with a boost controller, FMIC and a EBC (providing you do the dump pipe aswell), you should get anywhere from 190-210kw.

ummm, he says he has a 3" turbo back system, so you would assume he has a new dump pipe...........

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
