then again i see you have 300 plus rwkw standard internals?

nope my motor is now fully forged pistons, rods cams etc u name it its got it....300rwkw on just 17psi

built by Willall Racing, Nisspeed, and tuned by Morpowa

i asked Boostworx who pays for it and they said i had to at my own expense, they really didn't care to be honest, im sure im not the only one here that has had grief with them....i guess im the first to speak up.

Your manifold, while it looks like its a pro job with the cut and shut, is a really really bad idea,since the runners are designed for air coming in at the normal throttle position, now you have the TB at the front... this means cylns 5-6 are less likely to get the same amount of air.

if you had the manifold on the motor when it blew up, i dare say it could have played a huge part in it.

Who wanted the manifold like that??? Simon isn't saying the cut and shut was the problem, Think about where the inlet pipe goes standard........... In the middle, this is to make the air get dispenced evenly and appropriatly, not a crap load at the front and stuff all at the back!!

Just an update - I ended up going to Morpowa, glad I did as they sorted me out nicely. It definately needed a tune, cruising was fine so no problems with the O2 sensor, but the AFR's were for some reasons in the low 10's. We weren't quite sure why, as the car hadn't really changed since the last tune apart from a different catback Exhaust (still 3").

Regained 20rwkw with the new tune and hopefully this will fix the fuel economy issues.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
