.82 rear, thats why its a bit laggy, but u got more topend out of it

since u cant check ya knock level reading just keep an eye on ya engine warning light, if it starts to come on regulary after a boosting hard step off and getnya tuner to check everything again (timing)

I am not really fussed, still picks up speed quick, boost hits like a train...which is rather interesting, first few times i did it, it was like when they hit the NOS in Fast & The Furious :) .

Since it is more laggy now, does that mean i am going to get better fuel economy when just dribbling around town?

Not so much at 160km/h but the revs at which point on this garph it hit 160km/h if you know what I'm saying.

yeah I was only using kph as a reference for the graph....load on the road could lean it out at any speed

As a rule of thumb 14:1 at idle, and depending on your timing and amount of brake on the rollers 12:1 is the leanest I'd ever go up top.....11.5:1 is a bit safer as long as everything else is taken into consideration.......we're talking pump fuel by the way.

Crank up the boost to 18psi and feel the hit :)

buy decent quality straight off the bat. please. save for an extra week or 2 and buy cusco's or something.

It has been suggested on these very forums that the BC coilovers come out of the same plant as the Greddy coilovers. I'm not entirely sure whether it's true or not.... but either way the BC coilovers have springs that are too stiff for my liking!

I really do wonder, what exactly drives people to do this.

Also, why 49?

Doesnt help when your girlfriend posts what you've done over her Facebook status updates like Dan showed us!

i think krish is making similiar power to you abe. about the 250rwkw mark.

Yep making around 246.6 rwkw on 14.5psi....needing a new exhaust as when we cranked the boost up to 17psi at 400rpm it starting dropping off to 14psi and held hard on 14psi....for some stupid reason the boost wont go higher then 14psi so we ie me and the tuner came to the conclusion of needs a new cat back system and also have to get andrew from AM Performance to fit it all up as there is a leak out of the vband flange thingy

I am using a .63 rear housing so my boost comes on a bit earlier then yours Abe but has the same feeling of hitting you like a damn train when the boost kicks in.....well described with the FnF NOS scenario....cant wait to check it out tomorrow

mine is at boostworx right now, tuning the AEM FIC-8 ecu.

235kw at 5850rpm but not reving past 5850 at all - Im sure its a setting in the program,

I have made my suggestion re calibration to the tuners, so hopefully a little later I'll get the good news that all is fixed and well, reving thu to 7250rpm as per the remap chip.

the AEM FIC-8 looks great: here http://www.aempower.com/files/electronics/...lease080728.exe

for $350 off ebay its a massive score, considering the safc/sitc sold for $300 before they were even off the car! ;)

Hopefully my thoughts re the tune program setup work, and she free revs again into the red zone.

250kw

:)

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
