Getting More Power Out Of -7's

Just revisiting an old topic. A lot of you have mentioned switching back to a stock air box. I am currently running Apexi pod filters as pictured (no idea what type):

Anyway I'm in the middle of getting my car registered and need to do something about the filters. Works out to be around the same cost to swap the airbox or fit a pod enclosure.

What's the most effective air intake option? I understand the stock airbox is suitable for my intended power figure, but what if I want to go beyond that. What is the intended purpose of these pod filters if the airbox does the same job?

Also what would they be worth if I sold them?

Thats not decent, that is mammoth! I have never seen a gain that big on the same boost by just changing fuel!

This is the 2nd -7 + e85 50kw gain i've seen in the last 3 months, just shows that e85 is really needed in some cases to maximise the set-up potential

I've said this 11Ty times E85 is hands down the best mod you can do! I made 38kw more on 4psi less boost THEN screwed the boost up and went from 278kw-336kw! Enough said! Whoever is wanting $1300 for an E85 is having a lend of you too that's a RIP! Enough !!! from me as my throats getting sore.....E85 FTW :)

$1300 was for a base e85 tune, it was $2k for a flex tune!!

Who in Sydney is doing it cheaper??

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
