Press Bends on FMIC..

[Cubes]

The Fmic that I have has press bends on the piping.

It isn't like bad press bends it is hardly noticible.

If I'm KW chasing do you think it is worth buying 4 90 degree bend mandrels (3 on inlet, 2 on outlet)?

Or would this only help with boost response and lag?

Lag is hardly noticible now with the EBC but it is still there..

I had a look at some of those silicon bends and i think this smiley says it all

:eek::eek: :eek: :eek:

I dont think you would gain much unless they are real bad bends, you may pick up .2kw i doubt any there would be any real gain.

[adam 32]

i dont reckon itd be worth it

put the money into the turbo fund!!

[Cubes]

hehe yer..

Turbo fund that keeps getting spent on other things..

Almost had all of the money then i went and upgraded the comp now i'm getting close again and i'm starting to think about suspension.

I'm waiting from a few ppls on a $$ for the GT25 400hp..

Actually on that topic i went to Turbo Tune in Adelaide and they seem to think the GT25 400HP will flow enough to make a good 180rwkw.. I said what.. 180rwkw.. I want more than that.

hrmm.. All i want is to be able to overpower grip in second gear any time.. :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

[adam 32]

yeh what sort of power are you chasing?

im after the most possible on std injectors for now, so say 200rwkw. that should provide a little fun in 2nd gear!

[Cubes]

Same... I'd like to nudge over the 200rwkw mark and POssibly be able to run high 12's with a lowish tyre pressure if need be using the 225'50's.

The Simex that I run at the moment give unbelievable grip.

First gear hardly spins up.. but if i click second a little to quick she still tries to snaky second.

I might be pushing it though I figure that if whatsisname can run 13.1 1/4 2.1 60ft using 216rwkw I should be able to do it with a slightly better 60ft time and a little less power due to less weight.

I hope.

I thought a little about a VG30 turbo as that can get damn close to 200rwkw with adj. cam gears etc BUT.. Reliability of the turbo comes to mind as at the moment I can't afford to waste 500 on a turbo that blows up later on down the track.

Also everywhere i go they say to inspect the turbo as if it is a dud they wont exhange/return it. That is the Killer..

I need the turbo to have no problems as I'm going to uni for the next couple of years.. I defered this year...

Tim has suggested that the GT25 that he is able to get which is $1400 will just make 200rwkw with it running out of breath a little up top. but 200rwkw is 200rwkw.

I've got him looking in to a slightly bigger gt25 which should make just over 200rwkw which then i will be happy.. well on paper at least

[adam 32]

thank god my car came with the T04!

[Cubes]

Luck bastard..

[adam 32]

with turbo options

what about the HKS range? 2530? 2835? or are they really expensive

[Cubes]

I thought about the 2530 but they are really expensive 4k worth and second hand well i can't find out at the moment.

Second hand they are around max 1800 some try to say 2500 but i wont pay 2500 for a second hand turbo.

[adam 32]

what about the T04? i know theyre getting old but are supposed to be good for 400-450 flywheel horses

[Cubes]

Your Avtar looks nice..

Its a very nice looking 32 Adam..

I'm waiting to see how Clint32's Turns out.

Hopefully he doesn't take tooooo long

The T04e is an option apart from the fact of having to buy a wastegate etc.. which bumps the price closer and closer to a new turbo that bolts on with an adapter plate..

hrmm.. If it turns out good though i might look at it.

also how have you got 100 more posts than my self.

I log on every day post like crazy (don't post whore but) and still 100 behind you..

[adam 32]

haha i dunno

i havent checked how many posts ive got! yeh i dont write too much crap

well you can see how my project turns out as well. im waiting for a winning lotto ticket so i can get a remap. hopefully by then the car will be running well (ie leaner that 10:1) and may make some decent power!

ill keep you posted though!
