a bit pricey i think

the above compression test list was done on cold engine. I will check compression tonight on hot/warm engine... and i will let you know the results then..

Enes is running DSMLINK V2 so he doesn't need a SAFC.


Enes honestly your cat is the major problem IMO. Your restricting so much flow.

Trying to run the Volume of Air that a 50 trim can produce through a 1.5" Cat is probably "backing up the system" so to speak.

And the stock lower piping as well would be something I'd upgrade.


I can't see anything else wrong with your system. but having a 3" exhaust is useless if your still running a 1.5" cat.

Compression is definately not an issue. Like we talked about before, I would up your timing globally a bit. I agree with everyone on the cat and IC piping. Your fuel system I am sure is fine for now.

I've studied fluid flow in school. So by that credibility and not from automotive experience, I would say you have two restrictions. You have an exhaust flow restricting where you should get a 3 inch dia. catalytic converter.

You have not fully utilized your 190 lph fuel pump. With the aid of an AFC and an SX FPR, you should be able to control your fuel pressure and fuel feed. The next step as I've studied would be to replace your entire stock fuel lines (www.stevetek.com) so that you would increase your fuel volumetric flow rate without increasing the fuel pressure.

My hope is that you will have been enlightened to travel a new avenue in search of your solution. Put that 0.500 trim to work!

The cat is probably hurting it some. But the 190lph pump and stock fuel lines are nowhere near capacity. He should be able to make well into the 400s at the wheels with the 190 and over 500 on the stock fuel lines. He already has great control over the fuel with the DSMLink.

Well if you want the Cat make me an offer but Im not going to lower much as I paid 150.

And what the hell does "the other sister" mean?

Ask in a different thread Peter. OT.

I don't think so, you should buy it.

[Kracka]

The stock lower IC pipe should be fine, that thing is just as big as the metal IC pipe going to the intercooler. The stock cat is deffiantely your biggest restriction right now, Peter's is at a good price, or you could go find a new 3" (or better yet get a testpipe).
