Nice car man. I hope to get around 153kw. Never been on the dyno but hope to soon with tune.

[DevilDRake]

Nice mate! Same shit as me except my cam is a little smaller, and I got the double row timing chain. When mine's manual i'm getting it re-tuned with a new computer so i should pull same figures.

[Beauzza]

Cheers man! Im hopin to get more, last time i tuned it was without the whole intake.. So hopin to make 165 with maffless how does urs go with 3.7s?

[DevilDRake]

It goes alright, will go alot better once i get a better tune. That being said, If I'm paying for a new tune i might aswell go maffless too. Can you show mw what intake you're using for maffless?

[Beauzza]

I havnt got my maffless yet, im hoping to get it this week lol the tuners a bit busy..
Iv got a silicone reducer 3" i think to 4inch with 4inch TPR ducting (heat proof hose)that im gonna put in wen it goes in..

[TI3VOM]

How about you put a catalytic converter into your car next time it hit's the dyno, and see the -2kw difference that you got without the cat! Is it really worth not having it there?

Either way nice power from a N/A V6.

[Essassin]

Put the cat back on mate, the EPA will rape you six ways to Sunday if you get done without one.
The ute looks good, I like what you did with the front bar.

[Beauzza]

Thanks mate, Wish i could.. I smashed it out wen i first got it.. Would it be worth goin the dual cats? And dual the whole way?

[TI3VOM]

Yes it would.

[Beauzza]

For a power gain or to make it legal

[acarmody]

For a power gain or to make it legal

Legal. The fine is probably worth more than the whole car so why risk it when a nice high-flow cat will easily handle the gases the V6 can put out.

Also is it just an illusion or is your whole front windscreen tinted?

[Beauzza]

Its not an illusion lol i 5% all round and 30% on the front

[vyseriesII]

lol... is that legal

[Beauzza]

Yeah lol ur not allowed anything on front and only allowed 30% all round.. Which is octane or midnight express.. Everythings illegal anyway! I hate it how cops pick on us cos we have nice cars, but theres so many shit boxes that arent road worthy at all

Yeah it's a conspiracy against you and all the other ####wits out there that think putting the darkest window tint on your car is a smart idea, I hope you don't drive that thing at night mate!!

[Beauzza]

Simple, it looks good and if u can drive, it works fine.. Had it for two years and no problems at all
Same with any tint, its alot easier to see out than it is to see in

[Beauzza]

I wasnt talkin bout me gettin pulled.. I was talkin bout all the other nice cars gettin targeted cos they look good when the
Cops should be gettin REAL unroadworthy cars

[DevilDRake]

Any updates on the MAFLESS?

Lol tint in the front window is pretty bad.. Looks good but when it's around a pole it wont be :S

[Beauzza]

Its alot easier to see our than it sounds.. Nah not yet, had a clutch setback.. So im hoping to get it soon!
Will let u know how it goes

[vyseriesII]

Thinking of going a bigger MAF over MAFless myself. Anyone know the diference in performance between big MAF and MAFless?

[Beauzza]

Pretty sure u need a tune for a bigger maf too! Maffless is illegal
Alota ppl say its not worth the $$ unless u have forced induction

[DevilDRake]

Or an LS1. But yeah mafless is illegal for emission reasons I'm pretty sure..

Bigger MAF does help, but you need a tune for it so might aswell go mafless, out of everything getting done on the car maf is the last thing they'd pick.

[Beauzza]

I doubt theyd even know wat a maf is!

[acarmody]

I doubt theyd even know wat a maf is!

Most of the traffic cops are pretty switched on, and know a fair bit about engine and such. Emphasis on 'most', not all.
