They are just 235's. They are new and sticky and have more grip than my 255 semis that I replaced them with.

 

I'll have a play tomorrow and see if it will go better now that it has a more efficient compressor.

 

I'm not expecting a lot though as I'm pretty sure the previously mentioned shortcomings will just hold it back.

Lol it loves it at 12-14 psi, it will rev to 6500 no worries plus I can up the timing so it sounds and goes great.

Jet has mine tuned mine to 14psi trailing to 13psi in the top end. (8psi garrett actuator doing it's job perfectly.)

I'm pretty happy with mine at 14..

Dyno charts are on Jet's thread..

The chat we had last time I saw him he was saying I could pick another

20-25 kw's with a cat back exhaust and keep it at 14 psi. Which keeps my conrods as straight as they are supposed to be.

14 psi is a nice safe number.

My valve spring went south after the flash tune so I had no choice but to upgrade to crow 95's.

I like the words safe tune

 

Kinda what I want to hear when mines done

To be honest chris after reading your thread and a couple of others I always had that thought in back off my mind.

(Rod through the side of the block.)

But the more I talked to double AA ron

I knew I could still make pretty decent power on the bottom I had if the tune was done right. And guess what jetters came through with  da goods.

Nah no catback as they are too expensive for a good one and a twin 2.5 isn't big enough.

 

I'd like to make it hard for myself and make a 4 inch exhaust in my driveway/workbench with an angle grinder, a drop saw, a bunch of straight pipe and bends/donuts, a muffler (or 2), a resonator, some flanges and stick it all together with a $200 gasless mig from bunnings. Either that or I'll get lazy and do nothing which is better than 50/50.

 

I will fork out for valve springs and a 4 inch intake though and make a battery relocation kit.

 

It won't be any time soon cos the missus is already mad about me buying stuff.

Twin 2.5 is plenty big enough...... ill be pushing 500rw with a twin 2.5 Gaz097 had 460rwkw with twin 2.5s

Camo86 has 440rw with twin 2.5s 

And a few others up around 450rw as well.

Plus zero drone

A bloke at work just hand built his exhaust in his hq for his new LSA transplant. All mandrel bends and 3.5 inch pipes. Tacked it all up and welded it up on the floor. 

 

You could just just go a 4 inch 45* bend straight off the cat out the door 

Or delete your mufflers. $100 clams gets you an off the shelf middle muffler delete and the rear shouldn't be much harder.

I have a history of buying stuff and wishing I went bigger.

 

I know the turbo will do it's bit but I'm dubious that a twin 2.5 will let the turbo stretch it's legs.
