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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
