Nice triple post Artz ya spammer now you only have to put up with my internet he said she said for the rest of this week mate till I get Jez to my workshop and under the bonnet of my car this Saturday hahaha :nyaanyaa:

Even MTQ didnt know anything bout that sonic housing other than that it wasnt a AVO housing and that they are made by Mtq in adelaide apparently?????

Yeah i got cold feet from all the negative feedback bout these housings Artz and took everybodies advice...................... EVENTUALLY anyways :whistling:

damnit..I was actually more interested to see the result with the sonic housing..

Oh well..good luck with it :)

:yes: Yeah for sure Andy my workshop is in Londonderry and we got a fair bit of work ahead of us so well be around a while id say haha is a turbo, injectors ,Z32,oil change,cam gears and timing belt then possibly drain the 98 out and put E85 in and retune possible in 1 day :wacko: ? Lol I wouldnt have a clue cos ive never done it before except for an oil change anyways! Doesnt sound possible to me :blink:

yeah you wont regret it thats for sure...I was just really interested to see what it would do :/

chances are it wouldnt have made 300kw on pulp..but it would be a solid perfprmer regardless.

.

The thing I dont undestand is why do these companies keep selling these housings if they have been proven not to work?

i mean is the market for a housing that bolts on to a shitty stock dump pipe but doesnt perform really that big to justify their continued production...?

Just seems there is a lot of heresay and dyno evidence of them not performing so well but how much worse do they actually perform in comparison on the road...is there half a second in it on a drag strip or .1...

i would really like to know.. :unsure:

Yeah i agree mate but i didnt really wanna be the guinea pig with this housing. If it was a .75 like they are saying it woulda been responsive and still make decent numbers too and filled the void between the .63 and the .82 with what i have now is a proven recipe i guess so i thought i wouldnt change the recipe and hopefully get the most outta my ride that i can with all the hard earnt ive thrown at it :thumbsup:

No one says they don't work. The issue is that they seem to choke >450hp compressors. If Mick wanted to buy a GT3071 with this type of housing then I would expect it to work quite well. Once you move into the next size up there is a risk that you pay the premium for the sexy compressor and get the performance of something smaller (and cheaper) anyway.

yes well if your paying someone to install you made the right decision...last thing you want is to fork out for another days labour to swap it when it didnt work..

See Im a spanner man, I would of done all the labour myself so the loss isnt so great... ;)

and yes turbo swap and servise in a day is possible..im a muppet with a bag f tools and I can do it in my carport.

So should be a no brainer for Jez.

Im a plumber/boilermaker by trade mate i reckon i woulda stumbled through it ok even tho i havent done it before but ive spent too much coin on parts so im gunna b doin a crash course with jez n learn the tricks of the trade cos ill only need to be shown once to get my shit together :) haha

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
