pacemaker extractors

[Muzz-VS]

i jsut had a Q about pacemaker extractors, wat gain do i get from them like any extra kw's or wat?

[Bz Kn33z]

1-3Rwkw..........

[ephect]

it all comes down to what else you've done.. could give u 1kw, or could give u 10-15kw, it could be the one thing thats holding it all back..

kinda hard to say

I just have pacemakers, a 2.5" catback and K&N filter . Didnt notice much power gain. Dont really expect to until it gets a new intake. Granted the gases leave quicker now, but ya also have to get the air in faster too

Ive heard you can expect up to 7-8kW, but I doubt it with just new headers.

so is 7-8kw expected if you get the the pacemakers and the cat back and the cold air intake ? all up that will probly cost me $1200 is it worth it ?

all up yeah expect 8 kw at the wheels, you can bump that up a bit with a good performance tune from greenfoam.

yeah but would i really feel a difference i mean is 8kw a lot of power added on to my car would it accelerate alot quicker or have a bit more top end ?

extractors- top end
cai- off the mark +
catback (depending) can set you back off the mar, then get more up in the rev range.
chip- off the mark +


8 rwkw is something that you will notice if your used to your car the way it is now, you will be happy with it for a week, but then you will wnat more. in that case, cams/head work/fi/etc/etc come into play and isnt cheap.....


Also, if you havent already done so, get a FULL service done on the motor/box to ensure its running at its full potential.

Power is relative. Don't worry about what power your car makes, it is torque that you need. Extractors change your torque curve. They give you better acceleration and extend your torque curve higher into the rev range.

my car is dew for a service in the next 2000k's but wen i got the car (1 month ago) it was running like **** so i changed the fuel filter (that was gunky) changed the oil and oil filter ajusted the clutch and pushed in 2 spark plug leads and that did wonders so im questioning my self if i should get a service done in the next 2000k's.

yeah i could do with a bit more torque more torque means quicker revs ay
