major update its my birthday getting a bit broke but my mrs bought me this

quick run this morning and made 277bhp and 308ft/lbs but by the 3rd run made 271bhp and 289ft/lbs intake temps were close to 40 degrees (fmic needed)

can't stop messing with it

 

[seatcupramad23]

been messing with the liquid gauge for the past fews days

as been noticing that on AFR graph on wot it runs down 0.82 when the intake temps are under 15degrees but if its over that it will go down to 7.89, so runs slighltly rich when intake temps are up need to get fmic me thinks cars feeling great though

 

[seatcupramad23]

been a while since i updated this so here goes

powerflex bushes bought and now fitted can't say the car feels better to be honest the front is a little more direct and rear feels a tad more eager to go when pushing it which means need rear arb to balance things a tad

 

[seatcupramad23]

also bought this will hopefully finally be fitted tommorow now i've got all the gaskets

 

[seatcupramad23]

also aquired this with a universal 2.5" piping should be fitted by weekend , its a intercooler from a evo 8/9 fq 320 with 64mm inlet and outlet ports should be effiecent enough got from a mate for a tenner can't complain depending how it performs will get a wellycooler later

 

[seatcupramad23]

just bought and paid for this from sam cash thanks mate

could be on by weekend

You still got stock exhaust and down pipe pete??

 

[wild willy]

good work on fitting the manifold, did you remove the turbo or did you just work around it.

indeed stock exhaust for now car will go back to john to make me 3" downpipe and decat all in good time though had change manifold as it was cracked and causing annoying blowing

good work on fitting the manifold, did you remove the turbo or did you just work around it.

well turbo stayed on but had to unbolt the downpipe , and mounts and tilt the engine foward and have bloody knuckles but it was worth it no more blowing and car feels insane when it hits 3k rpm

 

[Raks]

Ive been recommended by R tech to really get the manifold.

If your saying there is THAT much difference, I defiantly need to invest ASAP.

 

[seatcupramad23]

seriously mate its like night and day , abit of a hassle to fit but imo defo worth it

I have one here to be fitted but it looks an absolute nightmare to fit to be honest. I tried to fit it from underneath before but its very difficult to get access. Did any of the exhaust studs hit the runners of the manifold before the manifold flange would sit flat.
Was it only the dog bone mount you removed or did you need to slacken the engine side mount and gear box mount too.
