Well finally got my car back yesterday! All minor glitches fixed, so no more over boosting or pinging YAY! Running 337.4rwkw (452rwhp) at 16PSI, with 960nm or torque :yeah: Hopefully over xmas when i get a bit of time of work i will get it down to the drags. looking for a low 12 with street tyres, with M/T's should just crack 11's. The only thing thats kinda ****ing me off is the standard blow of valve is now way to small and cause of it when the preasure releases it is bloody loud. I can allready tell its gunna sh!t me of very soon, so maybe a bigger BOV is on that cards. Will post dyno graphs up later when i get home.
ahhhh you are aware this is a commodore forum aren't you???? just checkin.... not a bad effort at all from the blue team.....
Yeh, i am aware its a commo forum but i had 2 commodores befor my XR6T and i like some ppl here so i have stayed. As for driving in the wet... its summer and i hope it never ends! lol. i drove through a wet patch from a sprinkler yesterday and it was ummm, "interesting" to say the least. Will get graphs up 2moro arvo.
A few little things, Im guessing a larger BOV will lover your RWHP, im not 100% on FI stuff yet. Once winter kicks in, dont be surprised if you are back at the tuners for a top up tune as the ambient air temp is lower the fuel mix will richen up a tad.
larger BOV will just allow excess boost to dump faster (and less noise...thank goodness BOV's sh!t me) no difference in power figure. Winter shouldnt be alot different as apposed to summer. The AFM will read temps accordingly and adjust as such. Shouldnt need a re-tune.
Well turns out that my BOV is so loud cause there is a split in the "re-plumed" sides hose... well was a split now its just totally free from the preasure rushing though.
so jesse when are you taking me for a drive? when we hit the drags I think ill ask you to extend my head start by another second, making a total of around 3 seconds for me to get a good head start
after getting the ford do u recon its worth the switch from holden to ford , holdens are like a bov is to you, gives me the ****en ****s
yea I never really used to like fords, but after going for a ride in Torquen's xr6t, and watching the progress after he has worked it and had it tuned, I have to say that im starting to wish I had a ford.....XR6 that is And if I had the money, I would buy one too
don't get me wrong, i'm only giving you ****. I'm not anti-ford, i just know holdens better. driven a few xr6's and the only thing i could fault with them was the lack of punch, which would be rectified by buying the turbo version. the thought has crossed my mind more than once. plus I've heard from a few sources they're dead easy to extract more power from....
ahhh no they don't, but (using my own car as an example) there's no luxo features to bring your attention to the lack of big swinging balls. plus I have a turbo and low cr engine in storage waiting to go in :wax:
