Rhys mate they're some good shots. If you'd come out to Willowbank with us on wednesday night your car would've been filthy too. I didn't even have a run with the R and it was absolutely caked with dust. I gave her a good clean today though.

So Jason mate, are you happier now? A 14.3sec run plus a 12kW atw increase all in the space of one week.

[jasn78]

Yeah Trent now not happy with a 14.3 lmao kidding but i will be back to Wbank to improve on that lol

Tosspot ran 131.6

Yep ... looks like the catback should be the next mod ...

Did they re-run Eddy's with the Stage II software and the BMC? Much difference? And if they did ... I hope they broke up the testing and put the SEAT intake and K&N Filter back and did a run with the Stage II software as well as doing it with the BMC ... 'cos quite frankly ... was not that impressed with the BMC before they put Stage II on Eddy's car (almost no diff from the SEAT & K&N combination).

stage 2 ran 137.8kW i think (with BMC), so not a big difference at all. obviously still needs some work. they did not run it without the with the seat intake and k&n. i'm sure Guy will put up the graphs for the stage 2, there is a lot more power in the lower rev range but tapers off from the peak very quickly.

Was good to meet you boys.. I'll have to get involved in a few more meets... Also might need to look into buying myself APR for a christmas pressie

Thanks Rhys. In that case ... think I saved myself about $600 (BMC and small replacement battery) for the sake of about 2-3 kw.

Yeah ... was good to see you there, Phil.

it was interesting to see that Sharkie (Johan - sorry if its spelled wrong) had a 5kW gain over me with APR chip and FMIC, and Tosspot (Sam - i know thats the right spelling!) had a 7kW gain over me with the APR chip and downpipe. however over the 4 runs they each had Johan's power and AFR (air fuel ratio) curve were pretty consistent. Sam's, on the hand, had a relatively consistent power curve over the 4 runs but after 2 runs the AFR curve changed dramatically as heatsoak started to set in. any more runs and i think the power would have dropped significantly....like mine

this is why this day was so good because we could see the affects of the mods such as these and go home to think about whether it is worth getting the extra 7kW for a few good hits with the downpipe or a consistent 5kW with the FMIC.

Cheers Dave.

My understanding after today was that you'd need a different intake (eg BMC) for a K04, but the stock turbo doesn't flow enough air to worry about it.

Learnt lots about what restrictions there are on the standard setup.

True (Dammit!) ... so what we're saying is (for consistently good runs) ... we need both the FMIC AND the downpipe. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
