Hectic Wog Break Through!

[TUR-BO6]

If, like me you would occasionally like to (how some people say: wog it up vl spec) and get a little 'dose' going on (sorry this is a little cheesy but just saw the opportunity to do something different), as we have said before - for sh*ts and giggles - there is another way to do a dose pipe I found today. the original way is fine,we dont run these things all the time like this but I may have come across away that if you would like to do this you can. I have tested this out tonight and will try it out again tommorrow as to know whether this is cold enough air or not.

some points to consider (not attacking the original, the creator of that gave me the inspiration for this and I have had fun playing around with setups.)

1/. this utilises a short pipe intake, admittedly it is not as short as the previous way of just going straight up behind the powersteer resevoir but...

2/. it is on the intake side - lower temperature.

3/. the pod cost me $55 from repco part number knre0930

as opposed to

I went to super cheap, being that the pic from the 'dose' pipe we previously have seen on these forums has a 'calibre' pod filter on it so them being the retailer of calibre I started there and found the following prices:

pod $32

90 degree stainless pipe $36

silicon sleeve $13

im guessing the original clamps can be used but a clamp is around $4 so 2 or 3 of those depending on whether the pod had one in its pack or not.

totals: $93

as opposed to $55

4/. the other setup places the pod behind the powersteer resevoir, over the exhaust manifold, in front of the exhaust shield where I guess the heat creeps up from when stopped - eg: traffic lights...(heat, heat, heat - bad, bad, bad) the setup I have done here places the pod away from as much heat as I could with as short a pipe as possible.

5/. doesnt leave the crossover pipe with nothing left to do.

6/. utilises a bigger pod as previously mentioned I have used a large k&n unit here. so at a guess you are able to use a better named product.

im sure I could keep listing this but so far the plan is to run this for some fun.

hope you like it and get some enjoyment out of it...hey we have turbos...lets hear em!!!

please let me know if there is good points/bad points that you find.

(plus im beginning to become attatched to the look of it...)

(also I run a 10psi flash and my speco boost gauge reads 10psi normally and it still runs it so I havent lost any due to any factors such as heat as yet - day test tommorrow.)

please comment... be a little nice though with your criticisms.

I think its viable at the moment...

pics of the setup so far...

another thing, it gets rid of the convoluted tube between the air-box and the crossover pipe.

also a few opinions, my gf and I have been chatting about the state of my air fuel mixtures.

my power mods are as follows...

fitted a 3.5 into 4 inch dump with 2 inch wastegate pipe

turbo not ported

flapper still standard

k&n panel

f6 cold air intake and factory otr

then listed this to capa and got the tune sent to me.

re-flashed to the capa tune

then

removed rear muffler (knocked boost back down to 10)

fitted 200 cell cat (knocked boost back down to 10)

always run caltex shell or bp 98 octane fuels to keep up the required goods to the motor.

and now playing with this pod set-up

have built 4spd auto, kaaz 2 way diff with 3.9:1 gears and a few other bits that I don't think will effect air/fuel.

I'm just wondering, as I have just continued to re adjust boost back down to 10psi every time it has altered with each mod, around about what mixture id be running at.

approximates would be fine, I don't expect it to be exact.

I just don't have a wide band air fuel to check...I'm just over protective of my baby I guess.I just like to know that it is safe...ish

as probably read in other forums she gets her big tune-up in June so I just wondered for now if I'm doing ok by my 'T'.

Nice work mate, will have to try this out. Be keen for some videos/sound clips aswell after the final testing. Cheap and easy, good stuff!!

I threw No.6 Rod witha generic tune.... Careful !!!!!!

[straughsberry]

Me3.

Generics are dangerous. You should get it on a dyno to make sure the important parameters are ok.

[TUR-BO6]

what figures should I be aiming for? stoich fuel ratio is 14.7 so is a good rich ratio like 11 or the other way around like 17.7 or ... im not sure what figure to aim for...a friend of mine has a wide band gauge im going to try and get my hands on,if not there is a good customer of mine through repco has a dyno steup.

[sexual harrassment panda]

at least get the afr's checked on a dyno

generic tune + exhaust mods = trouble trouble

[Dillz]

It has been done before, don't forget these cars are 8 years old now.

Personally I love the sound of lots of tuned boost spooling up as apposed to the (anyone can do for $100)turky call.

No offense to the OP

[TUR-BO6]

what readings are good?what should I aim for?

[Adam]

AFR's don't tell the whole story. But generally peak power is made around 12.5, although it can vary on each engine.

Forget generics. Get a real tune.

[Wenier]

The perfect mixture is 12:1 so 14.7 is rich and 11 would start on the lean scale. So for best full economy and all that aim for 12.5 so you have a little bit of room for error.
