Before this gets deleted: i HAVE searched

My question is:

If i get 2.5" catback (is there a cheap version of this thats just as good as the fujitsubo one?) and coby extractors, sure there will be performance gains (particularly in the low-mid range)... but my concern is, what is it going to do to my FUEL INTAKE :D !! please tell me it won't be affected so I can go ahead with it.

Also, what's a good and trustworthy shop to get mufflers made/fitted in SYDNEY, preferably Westside.

Thanks all

P.S. if you want to see my car its in my profile's gallery

ive got a 3" Trust full stainless steel catback on my GT and i got a 16.9 kW increase, ive also got custom made extractors on but not sure whether there has been a power gain or not (have not been able to get her back on the same dyno). what you must realise is that getting extractors put on dosent mean you will get extra power, however you will (or should!) notice the car being alot more responsive..i noticed it straight away from picking her up after the getting the extractors put on.

fuel wise i havent noticed a change at all, put extractors should help wit the fuel economy a bit.

hope this helps

any increase in performance/power is going to use up more energy = fuel

so your FUEL INTAKE CONSUMPTION is obviously going to increase, as to by how much - who knows, it's dependent on your tune, style of driving and associated components.

if you are unhappy with the current rate of fuel consumption, then obviously don't mod the car.

how many liters per 100km is calculated as follows:

  1. fill up your fuel tank to full
  2. reset your trip meter
  3. consistently drive in your regular style until it's time to fill up
  4. check your trip meter (~400-500km??)
  5. check how much fuel you put in at the second fill up
  6. the amount of fuel you put in (liters) divided by the number of kilometers travelled (in km) multiplied by 100
  7. voila you have the amount of liters used to travel 100km

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
