Hi guys ,

I have had my V35 GT8 for 9months now and starting to want more power - other than turbo charging or super charging which might happen at a latter stage I wanted to know what some of you guys are running and what gains you jve got .

ATM the only mods for performance I have are stillen exzorst system and a K & N air filter

Hey bud,

I have a 03 V35 Coupe 5AT, didnt get to dyno the car when it was stock =[

but I'm assuming the car would have around 150-155rwkw stock

though the mods I did after were

X-Force catback exhaust system, Plenum spacer, Z-Tube,

K&N panel filter with modded stock box.

and it made 170rwkw, was running rich so I added a Apexi SAFC II

and took fuel out at higher RPM and it made 174rwkw.

Edited by 30Five

id say get some hfc, apparently the stock have alot of restriction, maybe some 100cell or 200cell count hfcs, iv got 200 on mine with now stock exhaust and it seems so smooth with it and there is some sort of power difference *from feel - i havent dyno'd* there around 300-600/700 depending what brand you get and what sort of cell count you want and sound..

... stock ... I'm assuming the car would have around 150-155rwkw stock ... though the mods I did after ... it made 170rwkw ...
Is it just me, or is that a big step up (15 to 20rwkw)?

I am guessing you did each upgrade in steps, although you didnt dyno it, any comments on what upgrade(s) gave the best step in performance (bang fa buck)? I guess I am looking at what I should consider in which order.

Stock run 163rwkw

Plemun spacer +7rwkw

Pop charger/ Z tube +7rwkw

Light wieght pulleys and extrators +14rwkw

Y pipe yet to dyno guessing +4rwkw

I have a grounding kit too but i don't think it gives more power but on the box it did say up to 5hp more power (i don't think so)

These are my gains and everyone gets different results. But it looks like you get about 7kw for every $300 mod. not including install costs.

You can pay more or lees for these items. but i payed about $300 for each one. Y pipe was the cheapest and pulleys the most.

Best run 191rwkw

Hoping to break 200 with next mod. But in no rush :thumbsup:

P.S this topic has been covered before. do a search.

+10RWKW lol

or you can get the pink flowers for 5rwkw each flow or personal fave is the "such is life" but that way too many kw for a v or any car.

jk

but yeah id recommend HFC's again or if you want to go all out just TT or T or S/C the bitch (i know you said later - but cost of all little things might add up to 100% cost of a kit or something like that dpending what you get.).

When I first started looking at the v354, accepting it was non-turbo and therefore difficult to get extra power, I started to look into small Nitro kits. But then I read somewhere when checking their legality, that if they were connected on the street, you would be looking at 10k fine.pinch.gif Didn't check if that was the max fine, or the default fine.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
