Hi-flow cats are about $500 right ?

Are they really worth the extra free flow ?

What sorta extra power could be expected ?

Im seriously on the market for a dump pipe + front pipe and depending on price/performance a hi-flow cat.

I got my mate to cut some laps in my car tonight in a new built industrial area and got a fat wanger just listening to him go up thru 1st 2nd 3rd, I cant wait to hear it with the front section done (if their is any difference)

:whackit:

Just put my Apexi N1 front pipe in tonight, seems to be boosting a little harder maybe 1-2psi from wat the factory boost guage is tellin me (they innacurate tho from wat i hear) maybe its just the sound.

Nick: might be interested in those plenums, just ordered stage 2 from Japan and it looks good to go once i get the cash together.:D

I asked Silverwater water how much to tune my PFC.
:eek:

They quoted me $1000 to remove speed limiter, fuel/boost cut etc and a gernaly tidy up fo the maps. Something i imagine they do with their eyes shut.

I understand 6hrs if they were tuning an ECU they had never seen before, also one without base maps.. but this is not the case. I understand they are the experts in this area, but i would love to be able to afford it and watch as they did it. It coudnt take 6 hrs, im sure they would have base maps from other customers cars.

In their defence though, if they do actually spend 6hrs tuning, then it is possible you are going to get a more accurate tune which may result in better fuel economy and sharper throttle response.

Still that a lot of money, do they serve you could drinks and nibbles while you wait for you car to be washed after the ECU tuning?

here I'll knock them for ya Brody.

My friend bought his car through ***** **** ***** - supposed to come with warranty

The turbo had a broken fin and whinned but they said "just get it upgraded and why bother fixing it".

It also came with a gear box that crunched in 4th gear. They fixed it but it was still crunching after they fixed it!!! Again this was supposed to be under warranty!

My friend no longer goes there anymore for any service at all.

How about everyone tell us about actual good experiences at other mechanics, so that we can give good mechanics our valuable custom!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
