Hey FAT32,

A package arrived today (I missed it and have to pick it up from the post office tomorrow). I'd say that'd be the new Cat.

Ryno

Ryno, same with me ! I'll pick it up today. :)

siksII, again mate, cheers for the great GB !! Very smooth and great price !! :D Cheers also to Magic Performance for their part !

Now......to get my hands dirty :)

Mine arrived yesterday and they also returned the sample for the DIY cats. Top service, this sets the standard for other Group Buys to stick to.

:) cheers :D

Is this GB closed or still available? I would like to order the 4" cat with the flanges please. Can you let me know where to send the money and I can do it immediatley?

Thanks

Hi siksII,

would love to be apart of a group buy like this if u run it again! If u could organise a direct buy from magic performance too that would be great I have always wanted one of these cats! I need a flanged 4" one with the 3" flanges. Could pay asap

Thanks

Nigel

i sent u a pm too it should be fine

Picked it up from the post office on Friday arvo, grabbed some gaskets and installed it Saturday ( while draining engine oil ) and it fitted up perfectly !! Even the bung for the temp probe worked like a charm.

What surprised me, was that there "IS" a genuine, noticeable performance increase ( not huge but it's there !! ). Turbo also spools faster. I removed the old Catco High Flow 3" cat and checked it out and it still looked to be in very good condition so I didn't honestly expect any performance increase by fitting the Magic one. Very happy customer here !! :(

Good to hear, like you, i am also sceptical over whether a seat of pants difference could be felt, more like a few KW on the dyno. But from what you are saying it sounds good! Another guy also said their turbo definetly spools faster and exhaust got a bit louder so must mean more going through it :D

Ill probably fit mine up next week

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
