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!

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

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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
