ill be happy to take you if it runs.Have you orded a manifold or are you making one,if so who is making it

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, You still have the stock computer, wait till the Wolf is in, you'll make more power at the same boost level:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It's being made, Ray's doing all my work, it's the only way I can afford it:D I don't expect you engine to die, even if it was done at ...

[GTS500]

wolf hahahaha dodgy

[GTS-t VSPEC]

LOL @ Danny, haven't seen any Power FC's do better:p

[rob77]

Yeah, well the extra richness of the larger fuel pump robbed 16hp at the top end and with the limiter moved up a bit it should get up there. Probably make 370hp @ wheels on 13-14psi and be a much more streetable package with the ecu.

[GTS500]

yer but if your really chasing hp you need motec or autronic as well as somebody that really knows how to tune them

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, It will make very good power, no doubt, just need to get it spooling sooner:D The stock manifold can't help, I had a look at mine today when we had it off, pretty shithouse design.

[rob77]

Whose ray? Would it be worth my while swapping to a simular manifold paul?

[GTS500]

pauls right the manifold on the rb 25 is a bad design

[rob77]

Do you think hanging the wastegate off the exhaust housing made the turbo more laggy?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

LOL @ Danny, you keep telling yourself that:p

Rob, Would be worth swapping to a better manifold, will help with spooling, but it's not cheap.

[rob77]

What sort of dollars are we talking paul?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, Your wastegate isn't causing it to be laggy, but a tubular manifold will keep up higher exhaust gas velocities, meaning less lag:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Look at about $1k.

[GTS500]

night guys

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Danny, With luck the car will be ready for the service planned next weekend, but I'll keep you posted:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Night Danny:D, You coming Saturday or Sunday?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Not many people around tonight:(

[rob77]

Well I'll put the wolf in and see what happens. If I'm not happy then can always get a manifold made, hopefully wont have to change position of turbo so all the other pipes line up.
