Just picked up my car from the mechanic last night.

my car sounds so good above 4000rpm!

I got a spacer, z-tube and pop charger installed.

the pop charger sounds so awesome above 4000rpm....apparently these mods are meant to improve fuel economy...I can see its having the reverse effect!

In terms of sound, I highly recommend.

In terms of power gains? hard to say, Ill benchmark it against my mates car amd I'll find out

Awsum, how much did u pay all up and were bouts u get it done.

I got my service and install done at pro Concept West Ryde. They seem to be well regarded, and I agree. very professional.

parts were:

$295 for the motordyne iso thermal spacer

$295 for z tube and pop charger.

Standard install for spacer, tube and air intake is $140

But my spacer had an extra gasket and the popcharger had the heatshield...so was charged an extra 60 for the additonal labour needed ($200 total).

It will improve, But if you drive around with your RPMs above 4000????

Agreed~~ :)

planning for any exhaust mods? it would sound even nicer~ :)

gents,

the reason why I think fuel economy will decline.....

is cause I keep revving it above 400rpm, to hear that awesome growl!

4000?

shiiiiiet son I redline on take off! lol jokes

seriously though I'm getting an exhaust on saturday and I will be resetting my stock ecu so it can start remapping around the exhaust

no spare cash for an air fuel controller right now :)

congrats on the mods btw you seem very happy with them, any before and after dyno figures planned?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
