Nah I love how stock my engine looks and what the car can do considering that. Twas my goal to make it as quick and stock looking as possible. Ex gates and big turbos ruin that.

Yeah just over 250 on 98

Not a bad hike at all for the money. I wouldn't want much more power; would struggle to put it down. Just took her for a decent spin and faaaaark does she spool up quickly. Boost gauge goes up like a tacho revving in neutral.

I don't care how much more frequently I'll be stopping there, there's something very satisfying about paying $75 for a tank of petrol!

272rwkw @ 16psi on United 85

RacePace "high flow" cat gave me another 10rwkw. So yeah, top end a little disappointing...prolly the small turbo maxing out...along with internal wastegate and a myriad of other "stock" looking restrictions...but the low and mid range are significantly better. I have near stock response with about 130rwkw more than stock. Car sounds beast and the exhaust smell is <3

Happy camper. Will upload graph when I get home :)

dat dere cheeky skate sesh down boronia :P annoying light wet layer hehe

also 270+ is where 33 GTST'S come alive

come at me brahs

been thinking about E85 lately with all the Scotty propaganda going around... only one other pulsar I know on E85 and it hasnt driven the same since (in a neg way, but could come down to tune). only thing that major puts me off is having to carry jerry cans around, i hate doing that.

Why do you need to carry jerry cans? Unless going long distance there are plenty of United servos around Melbourne. I have 4 within 15 mins drive of me :)

Pat do E85 or buy a modified RB25 lol

will suss out e85 supplies in Perth and then get in touch with mr. trent.

Although that means I need larger injectors (currently 555cc's) & fuel pump (currently gtr pump)....

oh nice to know.

Looks like 25kw gain all across the rev range?

Congrats on the power gain.

Looks like ~35kw in some areas.

Pretty good and that's a conservative E85 gain, really, from what I've seen. Second to NOS and boost controllers, best dollar/kw upgrade!

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
