Ha.. Everything counts..255.1Kw ATW with only JB3/1.4 running map 5...

Gumball · 10-19-2011, 09:25 PM

I got 265kw at advan with the mods in my sig (ets intercooler was not installed then). Jb4 map 2.

Had the dyno done when they installed the downpipes not at the dyno day.

BBK · 10-19-2011, 10:42 PM

Wow 265 with just JB4 and DP's... so about 14.5psi?

Yet only 251 with that, plus meth @ 16psi... Hmmm... really need to figure out what is wrong.

Does anyone think it's possible it's my spark plugs?

Definately could be! Would be interesting to see after a full service (oil, oil filter, spark plugs etc) what improvment you would get. Could be fuel as well...

Yeah I plan to do this in the next week or so, might even get APC to do it and then dyno again after.

Sway bar installed. I have to say that looking at them side by side I was doubtful that I would see much of an improvement....

Took it for a bit of a hoon afterwards and WOW. You guys were right... Makes a huge difference...

Do tell more

I just ordered mine as well

Harlequin · 10-20-2011, 06:33 AM

I can't tell you too much regarding understeer at this stage as I didn't really have an opportunity to take many high speed corners or hairpins

However in combination with the Eibach springs the body roll is now about as good as it can get without sacrificing ride quality too heavily.

The dive on turn in is almost completely gone - cornering is MUCH flatter...

The biggest improvement though is that the car no longer feels like its trying to run away from me. I've always found that the car felt a little out of control when I put the hammer down. (something that I at least partially attributed to the DCT - incorrectly, it would seem)

Now I feel like I'm back in charge.

Nice one Angus, it's a great mod! Definitely the best bang for buck suspension mod :-)

ansch · 10-21-2011, 11:40 PM

Next up, subframe bushes and front control arms

I've given this a bit more thought. Richard - did you drive your car hard on the way to APC? I'm thinking heatsoak could have possibly played a role in this as it was really hot that day. I drove it fairly hard to APC and then did about 3-4 pulls to try and get the meth working 10 minutes before I went on the dyno. Not sure if this had any affect or not.

BBK · 10-24-2011, 10:20 PM

I gave it a few hard pulls, but it sat in the carpark for at least half hour before the first dyno. Then sat about 2 hours till the next run. I don't think heatsoak could have caused that much of an issue? Maybe 10kw or so, but 20-30?

Power stopped at 5000rpm, so there is definitely about 1000rpm worth of power I was missing.
