After installing my FMIC myself (cut hand with 5' grinder and punched myself in the eye with a socket wrench) I had it dyno tuned by Hardcore and running 14 psi it made 284.9 hp. I'm really happy with that as it is my daily driver but my BOV is really noisy now and I am considering going back to factory.

Thats 212.5kw for those that are wondering.

What quarter time do youz estimate for that?

:D

Sweeeet Terry!! Post up some pics I wanna see that front bar with the intercooler in. Don't you like the BOV? Is it plumb back?

It is a Monza (HKS ripoff copy) I used to like it but is really loud now with the extra boost. If you want it I will swap your factory pipe for mine plus some $$.

good stuff..

If u want, when i come to pick up those tyres this weekend, I can bring on the Blitz I have, and you can stick that on for a quick try if it has the same flange - just to try a different one (oh, and I want to hear how it sounds myself before i do my cooler :))

I've got a spare R33 crossover and BOV too.. are you using that stock boost solenoid still (or do you have an EBC) ? Maybe we can do a swap??

Predator - Turbosmart manual boost controller and I am running a Microtech MT12

Yeah that would be good bring up the stock as I have just blocked my standard BOV off

Nexus9 - Was thinking of upgrading fuel pump. Is that what you mean?

Nice job on the front bar mate!

Nah it's ok about the BOV thanks I have a Blitz Super Sound which I really like. Try one if you don't like yours, the sound isn't TOOO loud I think. I was alongside a 180 today that had a VERY loud atmo and I think it would have been too loud for my taste. Course I'm only running standard boost too...after I get a new ebc and fmic mine might be too loud too :)

Too loud BOV feels kinda embarassing to me

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
