Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 4m Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 05/08/06 01:41 AM Author Share Posted 05/08/06 01:41 AM Jeff,I guess the answer isn't a clear one. I fall into the category where I am not really seeking ultimate power nor the best 1/4 time. I am happy to chuck the car on a dyno and of course a decent figure is always good and I am happy to chuck it down the 1/4 and a decent figure there is also good (ok ok a 10 would be nice). However these mods aren't aimed at 1 or the other in particular. The Turbo upgrade was more due to the fact my old one died and it was almost the same dollars to get the new gear and have the same or similar power with lower boost and less stress on the car. The new plenum was one of those crazy moments where I was looking at a empty engine bay and asked Spiro about cleaning up the engine bay and suddenly the plenum looked like a good step as well. So I think I fall into the category of being a Turbo owner that just loves his ride, wants the best set up, likes leaving Ricers or others for dust when required and is happy to pull a decent number and 1/4 time. Couple with enough income to throw it onto a Ford product and create something different.Long winded but I think covers the important points.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 4m Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 05/08/06 03:16 AM Author Share Posted 05/08/06 03:16 AM Brian,I can agree on the ricers/other cars that go out there and I am always happy to appreciate the effort that goes into other modded cars whilst maintaining my blue oval fondness. Of course that being said most still get a shock with the guy in the 'Silver Service Taxi' puts the pedal to the metal. Not sure on top end power, will see how it all comes together next week and I will post up a drivability or lack thereof report once I get to take Shahin for a spin. Just hope the wet goes away before then.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 4m Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 24/08/06 08:42 AM Author Share Posted 24/08/06 08:42 AM Well just picked Shahin up from Autotech and I will post a more detailed break down on how he goes later tonite or tomorrow. Not 100% complete and full tuning is planned for next week but with 385rwkw at 16psi initial feeling is Whoaaaaaa.. Engine detail work not quite finished but close, latest photo below.RegardsM G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
