Sparky Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 It looks worse in the pics Rob honest @ Andy... open wideeee ;) Will get pics soon looks just like yours Quote
montanajr Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 How much did you have to bend the power steering bango to get the HDI pipe to fit? Quote
Sparky Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 None at all mate I know another guy with a quadlight who didnt need to either, I would drill the holes out that connect to the turbo (on the hot pipe) as it was a tight fit and I fucked my threads up so had to put a new bolt in.My actuator is wound right down now as boost creep is insane, it feels really laggy now and feels like theres a monster of a turbo on there but when it comes in, it comes in, the top end power increase is mental!! Hopefully my AVCR will be here soon so it will be boost boost boost and not much lag ;) Quote
montanajr Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Oh right! I'm tempted to buy the HDI hot side then mock up my own intercooler kit, but dunno if I can be bothered to spend the money (silicone joiners, alloy pipes, clamps, universal cooler). Just an idea though!You running 1 Bar then? Quote
Sparky Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 It would cost alot all seperate mate plus the time and hassle!!No mate, AVCR next (should have it soon) then Emanage then I will run a bar ;) Quote
Sparky Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Just bought 2 more Prada Spec 2's and paid for my AVCR now someone buy my Defi's!!! lolTook some new pics what you think? ;) Baring in mind the car is FILTHY!!Cheeky filter relocation Oh and the reason I am buying new brakes Quote
AaronW Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 looks mint with the fmic on!shame about the disc,nasty crack! Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 some nice pics there, jw has the filter relocation made much difference with the performance i.e spool up? Quote
Sparky Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Cheers guys, yea lucky I didnt do the track day with my disc like that It spools awsome now, sounds awsome and feels quicker picking up between gear changes!!Fuckin boost creep is my enemy now though, cant wait to get my AVCR!!Cheers Idrees but its a Japspeed manifold, does the job for now Quote
BenV Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 looking good bud, looks like you had to trim your bummper or is it just me?dont supose you know the size of the pipes for that relocation kit do you? Quote
Sparky Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Yea bumper is trimmed to the max, god knows how Dane fitted his Ummm the bit that goes onto the turbo is 45mm and the other end is 51mm or the other way around I am not sure Quote
BenV Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 how the hell did he get his on? 45mm sounds like the turbo side what about the fillter end, is that 51mm aswell? Quote
Sparky Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 The stainless pipe went inside the 51mm end so I presume its about 50mm stainless pipe and the filter fits perfect on the end of that Quote
Idrees Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Nothing wrong with a Japspeed mani, looks way better than my SPS mild steel one!! Quote
BenV Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 cheers fella i'll have a look around and see what i can find Quote
Sparky Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Cheers Guys Yea Idrees I am well happy with it holding up well so far and fuck me I had the complete manifold,exhaust housing and decat glowing BRIGHT orange Thursday night!! Will try and get a pic She was also putting out massive flames but then blew the mid section off the flange so that had to be welded back on again lol Bad news Turbo seals are shagged so a replacement will be needed soon, And the intercooler has dropped on the one side, need stonger brackets I think.Other than that all i good, cant wait to get my AVCR, boost is all over the shop!!

Liam_D Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Looks EPIC Lewis dude!! Brake disc looks nasty though mate, we had a Megane in work the other day with the same problem!!! Quote

iamlegend Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Cheers lads!!I did the same with my n/a discs, they are shite!! lolNevermind, 3G Grooved and dimple discs and mintex 1144 pads on the way ;) Got 2 new Prada's on the front not happy with them atm but will have to let them wear in a bit first.Got my AVCR today cant wait to get that fitted, hate the power delivery on the car atm whats a avcr mate?? it seems i have the same powerloss as you and if this helps i want to get it Quote
Sparky Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Apexi AVCR boost controller, argueably the best boost controller on the market but comes in at £500!!Because my actuator is wound so far out because I get bad creep with my front mount filter, decat and intercooler it seems to come on full boost after 4k rpm!!The AVCR should sort that out but Ideally I need my wastegate ported too, that will be done to the new turbo that I need Quote
