BLKXRT,

Sorry, I can’t make it, as I’m in Sydney…and just catching up with emails after being away for 3 weeks.

I’d expect that Peter would open a forum for questions and answers during the session.

So maybe you could ask Peter some questions that myself and others would like answered.

I have a few questions, as follows.

1. In relation to the manual gearbox, what have they found as a suitable replacement.

2. In relation to the manual gearbox, given current tuning, how much are they (APS) holding back the performance in relation to midrange torque, especially in the 2500 to 4000 rpm range…. Their Phase 4 power curve is far from linear in this area

3. How much are Ford really holding back the performance of this car?

4. Cam timing changes; Have they played around with cam timing changes. Is there much potential in cam timing changes. Actual or expected impact.

5. Is their Phase 4 version nearing the limit of the turbo.

6. Have they experimented with different turbos? If so do they care to give any information

7. What is their assessment of the current turbo

8. Are there split pulse entry turbo versions available … any comments

9. Have they tried/evaluated a split pulse exhaust manifold (or redesigned manifold), and do they think it would make a lot of difference

10. What injector duty cycle is there Phase 4 running

11. Have they assessed the power/torque limits of the conrods/pistons and crank… can they shed and information

12. Do they use a splitter in their dump pipe

13. How much extra lag does their intercooler introduce?

14. What is the current status of the availability of the different versions of his products …. I’m more interested in Sydney availability

I’m sure others may be interested in these questions, and I will understand if Peter is not willing to divulge information.

Others may also have some specific questions that they would like answered on their behalf.

If there is a question and answer session I think we’d all appreciate responses published on this forum.

If Peter is in Sydney at some time I’m sure a corresponding session could be organized. Could you please suggest this to Peter.

Peter has addressed the NSW WRX club previously…. All in the process of generating business, and well received.

Your assistance would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
