You've worked out a great power recipe at a good price. You sound like a guy where this is not the end by a long shot. You will get used to the power you have now and will want more and more and more and more. I warn you it is an adiction.Re intercooler I would get rid of the BBM and replace it with an ED inlet manifold. I would use a crossflow set up (like what Nizpro did) garret bar and plate intercooler and modify the sheet metal of the car to accomodate 2.5" pipes under the headlights on both sides for the shortest possible route. Alot are afraid to do any sheetmetal work but in my opinion to do it properly its gotta be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A custom plenum would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be restricting it at your current rwkw level. When the T was released the statement floating around was that the standard system could allow 350 FWKW.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment my exhaust is stock except for the centre muffler being removed. I think I read somewhere that the centre muffler is fairly restrictive. With it being removed, if I choose to get a little more power do you think my exhaust would be ok? Would a better option be looking at a system similar to Brian or an APS system if I feel a need for more power?Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeseman Donating Members 1,805 Member For: 21y 3m 27d Location: Sydney Posted 22/04/04 06:35 AM Share Posted 22/04/04 06:35 AM Apparently the standard cat is pretty restrictive, which is why only smaller gains are made removing the center muffler, as the cat is probably the main issue.Brian has done two mods to his car mufflers, 1 involving a new 3.5 inch cat and straight through twin 2.5s to a rear muffler (I have this too). The other is a 4inch cat to twin 3's (I think) and twin mufflers at the rear. Xrsikness as this as wellIt was done at a place called Tuffy Mufflers in Sydney.Xrsikness was saying his chip went out of sync when installing the new muffler because it allowed a much more free flowing zorst, which is a good thing.As I said, I have Bcls 1st sollution, but had a centre muffler installed cause of the noise. Im now removing this again becuase I want more powa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
