R34 is getting re-tuned tonight! I will post before and after results...........

Can't wait to see the results...

Just did a similar intake for HEKT1K, should help with his 3071's power, the rubber intake was sucking closed at 250kw also.

I'm keeping Trent busy, should get commissions. lol.

OK, so it turns out the new intake made a significant difference.

Old tune- 260.3Rwkw

414.9Nm

New tune- 291.7Rwkw

492.1Nm

Thanks to Scotty nm35 for the intake work.

Thanks to Trent from Status tuning for yet another awesome tune!

wait are you saying you gained 31rwkw's by using this pipe?? or were there other changes?

Just the pipe, a different pod and tune.

Good result, as I said there was another easy 30kw in the intake but i'm impressed by the nearly 80nm torque gain too. How does it feel now?

Now get some ethanol in the sucker James. :down:

Yes battery, the standard intake(with metal forced in to stop it sucking shut) was just to restrictive.

It feels very strong Scotty....

Its funny you mention the E85, Trent and I were talking about it and will be my next power mods(bigger injectors and pump).

But I will be up for new semis soon and badly need a 2way, so more power will have to wait :P

I am looking forward to seeing how it goes at Winton on Tuesday....

I thought i would post up more of Scott's handiwork. Here's the intake pipe he did for me the other day

No issues with reversion or anything like that, and should look nice and stealth once i hit it with some matte black paint

EDIT: photos aren't the best, i might put up some more photos when i pull it off to paint it this weekend

looks tops mate i cant wait to get one too :ermm:

more pics!!! :ermm:

bah... if i'd known you did this scotty i'd so have employed your services!! i too found the limits of the rev210 intake mod and got Chasers to fab me up a full metal intake pipe, standard BOV and airbox, couple 45 degree bends... so it was pretty straight... fairly pricey though as apparently it was quite fiddly to get right.

Don't you regulars read this Fabrication forum, Trent mentioned yesterday he didnt know I fabricated. (I dont want to tell too many people. lol)

It is quite hard to get right, the bov piping is a pain and takes longer to fabricate than the suction pipe.

damn... wonder what my car would have made... we ran it on the dyno to check AFR's after putting it in (chasers, not status) and everything was fine, actually said there was still quite a bit in just going of the AFR's. Oh well, something for the new owner to have a nice surprise about.

Generally where there is more airflow, you would need more fuel so the top end should lean out with 30kw more. Good that you checked afr's before selling, most people would have flogged it without bothering with the intake at all I guess.

Did you swap to dino fuel map or leaving it on E85? What are you upgrading to?

Wow scotty by the looks of things, your work is amazing, the pipes come out looking really nice and a 80nm increase from the intake pipe thats crazy dude. Good to hear people are doing awesome fabrications here. im starting to like this section of the forums :)

Thanks but the gain comes from removing the intake restriction, not adding my pipes. :)

I think the lobster bends come out looking great if you can keep them narrow with even angles and width.

The response can be improved by the tuner afterward, allowing him to increase the timing and lean out the fuel coming onto boost, with less restriction in the intake.

show off!

APPARENTLY - my suction pipe to the Turbo restricts the total output at 200kw if I was to go ahead and tune the bugger, so before this day comes, me and scott are doing mine too which is apparently a bitch of a job hopefully i can pull much more out of my turbo'd fridge on e85

Scott does good work. reccomend him fabrication for such things like these. instead of getting a dodgy to do em.

i dont understand, why have a larger intake pipe when the intake on the turbo is smaller?.... your restriction will always be the turbo intake pipe on the compressor housing

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 馃構
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
