Hey Mate,
I'll reserve judgement in person on the note, and volume, on Friday. You could probly expect about 5-7 kw, from the slightly bigger exhaust....well that is what the Mav' got, and it wasn't even tuned properly..... Cheers  Daz

I have to say it sounded really good to me on the cruise down to Wollongong last night. Nice deep note that sounded even better when the loud pedal was pressed.

Thats awesome mate. Hmm this might be worth me looking into. Ive noticed with mine that my throttle response has been lacking from the get go much like yours was. The resination I might look into just adding another small muffler. Can I ask you how much the exhaust & cat set you back, and did you end up getting the 4480's with a 3" collector or did you buy the 2.5" collector and modify it?

would a redyno be the go to see if the exhaust did indeed increase torque etc.

Hey Troy i'v bot my VCT motor up and running in my EB now and I have just a quik question about when you hooked the VCT up the BBM signal......How did you do it? did you just run the Red wire to the BBM signal and the White/Green one to earth?
Also my oil prssure goes from the starting end if the Dial to the Other as soon as i start the car? Cheers Caleb |

Are you using the Correct EB Oil Pressure Sender? It should look like a large Mushroom.

I was quoted $700 just for the cat back. You should sell off your old system to someone to recoupe some cash.

Cheers Caleb to hook it up to the bbm trigger. the red wire from the vct solinoid goes to ignition 12v.or red wire on bbm.. the white green from the vct solinoid goes to the green wire on the bbm wiring(this is the earth trigger) its probably best if you run a relay between the bbm trigger and the vct solinoid so it doesnt put to much load on the ecu.. as for the oil pressure did you use the eb one?? either its the wrong sender or the wire isnt connected as this will put the gauge on full.. |
