  1. Its safe to say that I will ultimately be boosting to more than 11psi. I'm still waiting to see what a few of the mod companies (CAPA, Herrod, Nizpro, DNA motorsport, APS) come out with before deciding which way to go. And as for the covering the entire front section, air still flows through the intercooler, you do loose some radiator efficiency because of this, but if you are serious you will upgrade the radiator to a much larger item at the same time. At the end of the day its just a question of what your aims are, and mine are high. PS check out my website for my 200SX if you want some idea.. http://www.200SEX.com.au Regards, Kris.
  2. Because I have to work to pay for these bloody things..
  3. Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lb) x RPM / 5252 RPM = Power (hp) x 5252 / Torque (ft-lb) 1kw = 1.34hp 1ft-lb = 1.35nm Assuming 562nm torque and 309kw: RPM = (309 x 1.34) x 5252 / (562 / 1.35) RPM = 5223 309kw @ 5223rpm with 562nm sounds quite reasonable to me, just do the math! Also note that the factory quotes 240kw @ 5250rpm which is bloody close to the peak in power here as well.. remember that chips like this wont neccessarily change the shape of the torque curve, so peak torque should be in approximately the same place, and hence peak power will also be in approximately the same place, after all they are still both using the factory turbocharger. A little bit of thought people please..
  4. I seriously suggest you read the interview on Autospeed with the head of 'PowerChip' Wayne Besanko before making any decisions either way. http://www.autospeed.com/A_0402/cms/article.html http://www.autospeed.com/A_0408/cms/article.html
  5. Im getting one and already have the mods planned!
  6. I would be very carefull about this product. Check a few articles from Autospeed and you will see what I mean.
  7. As for waiting for the ECU to be cracked, only those that like to sit back and let other people take the lead are doing that. I will be proactive in using other solutions, ill keep you posted when I have my mods done but you can be assured of some jaw dropping numbers. Kris.

    Exhaust Options

    Ok, heres some more specific questions: - what diameter is the piping? - what size is the catalytic convertor? - is the system heat wrapped, are there any heat issues with the new exhaust? - is the system mandrel bent? - how many mufflers/resonators are in the system and what type are they? - do you notice a 'seat of the pants' improvement? - does the system drone at various RPM points? Thanks, Kris.
  9. I'm basically going to get a large bar and plate FMIC to cover a larger area of the front of the nose. I only use quality cores for a start, so theres no question about it being a 'truck' core. The point is that the Ford item will be a comprimise between performance and cost, mine wont have that compromise. If anyone has the dimensions please let me know. Regards, Kris. ps have a look at my website
  10. Can anyone tell me how much size there is at the front of the car for a front mount intercooler? Can someone possibly measure the size for me? I am having a XR6T ute delivered this week but until then I dont have one to measure. If anyone has access to a digital camera and can take close up photos of the front of the car, ie both front corners, and the inlet of the front bar that would be great as well! Thanks, Kris.
  11. I did mention its a ute btw!..
  12. Yea its a MAJOR oversight on their part to say the LEAST.
  13. Is it possible to upgrade to the premium sound package after receiveing the car. I know it is listed as a factory fitted option but I cant see why any decent stereo shop wouldnt be able to fit the uprated components? PS its for a ute.
  14. My tip would be a slight boost increase, full exhaust system and optimisation of air fuel ratios and ignition timing.
  15. And how do you think the unichip gets interfaced with the engine management if its not spliced into the wiring loom? Do you think this happens by magic or something..
  16. Is there information on the gains the automatic xr6 achieved? basically where are you guys getting your information from? Thanks, Kris.
