Parts Finally On!

[robbo33]

Just got the following parts put on:

-STRUP stainless headers

-Berk cats

-Ichiba y-pipe

-ztube and popcharger with heat shield

-motordyne spacer

-unorthodox racing pulleys with belts

-Stillen grounding kit

-06 jdm tailights

-NRG hood dampers

-B+M short shifter and Nismo carbon gearknob

-15mm Ichiba spacers front and 10mm rear

Wow what a difference these mods made! Car revs much quicker and the exhaust note is awesome. No rasp or drone yet.(has a kakimoto regu 06&r catback) Hopefully it stays that way.

All work was performed by Greg and the boys at autosport engineering and took 12 hours to do the lot including engine and gearbox oils. What a job they did and for an excellent price!!

The header install was not easy they tell me

Now off to get a tune on monday at CRD. Getting haltech platinum interceptor fitted.Hoping to pull high 180's or maybe even low 190's.

Will post dyno sheet up monday night

I just my plenum,z-tube and pop charger on last week, I cant stop revving above 4000rpm

How much was your pulleys with belts?

and are they still stock size?

[robbo33]

Shouldn't be hard to pull a good figure on CRD's happy dyno!

Sounds like some well thought out nice mods there, goodstuff.

GL on dyno, let us know how it goes

CRD's dyno got a reputation for reading high does it?

[Touge Kyousou]

Yeah that's what i've read and what my bestmate experienced. He saw 20kw+ difference between CRD and ISMR. On another forum, some members have seen 15kw diff between CRD and UAS.

Doesn't really matter though..if it drives to your liking then it was worth it right

I'll imagine after the tune, it should pull pretty sweetly! Let us know how it goes.

i might pull 200kw then

Nah thats fine i will get a before and after readout so i know how much extra power it made after the tune.....regardless of whether its a high figure or not. hoping for 10-15kw atw

[BLISTC]

we spend alot of money on our cars to extract little power

the $ - kw ratio imo is not worth it, hence why i will not be extensivley modifiying this car. not worth the money. rather make it look good than go good. no need for excessive speed on the street.

[Touge Kyousou]

How'd it go Robbo33 ?

My tune only netted me peak 6kw atw i think, mid range was MUCH better though and no more gay 6600rpm rev limit now...feels like a totally different car. Oh and no more pinging whicich no doubt affected the power delivery (ECU constantly adjusting ignition etc).

[robbo33]

No go yet!

the haltech got wired in and was all good to go. Put it on the dyno and it wouldnt rev past 5000rpm!

its a software error with haltech itself they said so back there on saturday to get it sorted out. all they need to do is make a phone call and it will be sorted instantly but because it was after 5pm they were closed.

Did pull 168rwkw without the tune though...so not to bad.

Full credit to the boys at CRD though as they were more devastated then me! they wanted me to leave the car there overnight so they could sort it first thing in the morning but i needed it for work tomorrow and to get home tonight (silverwater to miranda). they even offered me one of their cars for the night, but the tuner came in and said he just bypassed the haltech so it was running how it was when i drove it there.

So bring on saturday!

[Touge Kyousou]

Oh bum! Ah well saturday it is!

Hrmm haltech copgyback...never looked at that option myself, i went with a reflash. I've heard good things about the haltech line of stuff though

[robbo33]

got the car back from crd today with dyno printout.

Made 179.6kw....couldnt quite get 180kw.

And the initial readout was 165.8kw not 168kw as they first told me.....so just under 15kw at the wheels with the tune and now revs to 7200rpm!

All in all im very impressed with how the car idles (before the tune the car would stall on cold starts and idle all over the shop) and the midrange is so much better.

will try and post dyno chart tomorrow

[I GOT RICE]

nice work, if you dont mind me asking, how much was it just for the performance mods- tuned and all? it's almost the exact set up i'm aiming for
