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!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
