Im in on a group buy if anyone else is interested! Hey YogiOOO, can you get them for $450 all the time?

I was reading a post yesterday (i think) that said they were $550 retail and $350 trade?

I also read in zoom that you can buy reducers with the Magic cat so it can fit on a 3 inch exhaust. Im not sure if i'd like that though.

Im certainly not an expert, but i thought it was just a measure of the ability of air to flow thru a given space. And as airflow is proportional to engine hp, the more cfm an exhaust can flow, the more hp it can handle without significant restriction. Does that make sense??

Yeah, the air on the exhaust side would be less dense due to the heat involved. So i suppose you've gotta allow for the expansion of the exhaust gasses. Its not that MORE air is flowing out of the ehaust compared to the inlet because the same amount of air going in has to come out again. Its just that the hotter exhaust gas will want to expand, hence requiring more space to flow through without significant restriction. Thats what i reckon.

Oh, i just spoke to the people that make MAGIC CAT on the Northern Beaches (Sydney), and they have come down in price now to $300 each. I mentioned a group buy and he said that he'd be interested in that. Im not sure what sort of discount though. The cats now neck down from 4 inch to about 3.5 inch apparently. I havent heard anything bad about them, so ill probably get one.

SydneyKid has tested this on one of their race cars.

their race cars don't use cats so a dyno run was done as is and as a test he fitted the 4 inch Magic Cat and dyno'd again and the car lost no power at all.

he mentioned that this was the ONLY cat he had seen with this type of result.

Considering the CATCO 3 inch ones are worth about $250 I think, this magic cat at $300 is a bargain.

i bought that one there at trade, so its was alot cheaper than any price mentioned above. I'm taking mine to get the reducers put on this weekend hopefully for my 3" exhaust

shif_tea: Depends on the suppliers - Some places we can buy all the auto elec stuff at trade price, but if I were to go to buy their 240 volt gear - we get no discount. (I know as we needed fluro lights for the workshop)

I have heard with places like repco, once your setup with an account with them, you have access to their whole range - although im only going on what I have been told.

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
