Whos Been Modding There Fg's?

Not waiting mate. All about timing.

My nearest dyno is over 800kms away, so a bit of planning is required to get anything done.

Not to mention the cost of getting there, staying there, getting stuff done and then getting home again.

All in good time.

Finally.

Had my car dyno'd last week.

242.6rwkW standard.

I then fitted the lower section of the XR8 airbox and snorkel.

End result saw 253.9rwkW.

No tuning and on 95ron premium with ambient temps of 33 and 34 degrees C.

You would have to be happy with those results

Did you get anything else done or did you just travel the 800k's to dyno the air box change?

Nothing else done except a service on the way up in Katherine.

If there was a dyno in Katherine I wouldn't have gone to Darwin, but had no choice.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with the results.

Puts my mind at ease now I know what the starting figure is, and in hot weather.

I know I've got a good one and going by the info I got from the dyno, there's a heap of room for improvement just in the fuel mapping alone.

We were seeing air/fuel ratios as low as 10:1 as early as 3000rpm!!

For now though it's just sit back and enjoy the ride and start fitting my stereo gear.

Now that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

PHANTOM, what did you end up doing with the mesh on the front of the intake? were you using the stock air filter? 10rwkw with just a air intake swap is massive!

[PHANTMXR6]

What mesh??

There is no mesh on the front of the intake.

There is a gauze type material approx. 200mm x 100mm on the bottom of the snorkel but I left it right where it is as it doesn't hinder airflow at all.

As for the air filter, stock as a rock.

I was kind of expecting a reasonable gain due to the massive difference in snorkel diameter and hole diameter into the bottom of the airbox.

If you ever get to see the two side by side you'll understand what I mean.
