Hey Guys I have recently just had my interior refinished in carbon (well carbon type finish)

Its not Vinyl wrap its kind of well...... in the paint (but not airbrushed either !!!)

The guy who did it for me only charged me $180 for the two pieces of dash ( Thats with 2 coats of clear 2 pack paint too !!)

I was so pleased with it I got him to do the window switch too :) (another $50)

....... for $230 my car has gone from rough looking, to brand new out of the factory

let me know your thoughts and comments ... ( i have the Din blank on order should be here this week)

Looks a little odd to be honest, if its meant to look like carbon firbee the designer failed a little. But hey if you like it screw what anyone else thinks XD, I like a nice stock factory looking interior to be honest. But it is neat and done properly atleast.

It must have been crook looking before! :P

Nah srsly, the workmanship is tops.

The finish may not be everyone's taste as many here are picky to the extent that it MUST look as close to C/F as possible...

But hey, I've seen some new cars with faux C/F that don't look as good as that :)

Care to post up the city you're in?

Hey guys thanks for the honest comments :)

I realise it doesn't look exactly like carbon fibre but to be honest its only 1 tenth of the price and i really like the pattern :)

reference the foot well..... ha ha ha ha what can I say .... when it had the rubbish interior (was all damaged) I seemed less likely to keep it lookng good as no matter how much i cleaned it it still looked poo..... its been clean for a week now........ (we shall see how long that lasts though lol)

Where am i located ?? Birkdale (south Brisbane) But it wasnt me who did it ... his name was mrcustomise.com.au (hope I dont get introuble for posting that ......)

Yeah the guys who did it had lots of different types of carbon effect I just kind of liked this one best .... I realise carbon is very dark but i wanted something a bit lighter so this is what i picked :)

yeah the finish is brilliant and ref the pattern stretch ..... that's apparently impossible to stop as that's how it allows even coverage over the entire product... and to be fair I don't think it ruins the overall effect especially when you consider the price ... I'm still very very happy :)

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

      Boost level and torque curve

      don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

      Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By thx78 · Posted

      yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
