Guys first up going against the grain I actually like the T5 5 speed, dont want to put an auto or T56 in it and most of all cannot afford for the car to be off the road for long (work sucks but loosing money having car off the road sucks even more)

Haha Pat I agree but still I like what I know and I am not planning on going any further with the cars development after considering things for the last few days, I am happy with the level its at now.

Mr Man, yup it was really lean, having done a surge tank and injectors to be installed just for safety not for power.

Mick couldn't get more than ~280rwkw out of mine on stock injectors (6 speed manual BA MKII) but that's not to say it can't be done.. might just be a slightly riskier tune.

The T5 held up well with that power for that long though!

Ryan, I gotta say, I can't friggin stand the T5! I reckon its the biggest piece of crap box ever and I can't believe you are putting another one in! The shift is sloppy and I think the last time I shifted from 2nd to 3rd in one I was able to send a text message, scratch my nuts and re-program the radio presets!

Totally understand you need your car and T56s aren't cheap, but fark me dead man, you are gonna be up sh*t creek again in no time unless you drive like a grandpa from now on!

End rant...

the dyno sheet he posted up of the tune was rather lean... around 13.1 iirc...

Must be a freak car... 300wkw on stock injectors, T5 lasting so long at that power.

Thing is guys, Ryan is a smart guy, he never hammered he box, never loaded it up in 4th/5th, so it lasted alot longer than most... it even has a twin plate banging away at it.

As for the 300wkw and lean fuel, the safty blanket here is the huge effiecient intercooler/4inch intake/free flowing exhaust stopping it from detonating... motors can cope with a little leanness when the intake charge isnt hot, and the fuel is 98.... but without open a worm tin up, its risky as.

Dude, put some dekas in it so its not the next to let go lol
