Looks like you will need to shift at around 5000rpm to stay in the power band. This should help keep your temps down on the track.

Yes, a bit of trial and experiment at the next track day with the shift points.
Also keen to see temps on track too compared to before.

Actually this just makes me more convinced that I won't do anything until I can do the whole lot (intake, injectors, ecu & EBC).
It feels like a compromise when you consider it includes the most expensive aspects (ecu & tune). :wink:

Roadrunner, is this using the factory EBC or aftermarket?

Lachy, calling a vampire by the wrong name is a good way to get one's throat ripped out! :shock:

Selene is NOT amused......

Just out of curiosity, what would it cost for the total package; intake, injectors, ecu, ebc and tune?

Think just the sight of the price may result in me needing a lie down but at the same time am excited for the SE owners

If you go for all new and shop installed..... ~$4K +/- depending on who you go with.....

Whoops, my bad! Didn't mean any disrespect.

Not that it matters, she can't catch me! :twisted:

Aftermarket 3 port solenoid. So when I do go injectors and intake, just a few clicks on the laptop and such and she's all sorted.
Driving the car a few times now having looked at the dyno graph, it certainly doesn't drive like the graph shows (the drop off in power up high). Maybe Dann can shed some light on that or it could be that since we've turned the boost down (after the dyno run) it doesn't peak and drop like it did before (or isn't a noticeable drop off anyway)
Just feels just like the stock power up high to 6000rpm, but comes on a lot earlier with more push down low

Excellent for daily/street driving which is what I asked for from Dann.
The track will definitely be the test though

The drippoff is the car falling back onto the second set of rollers on the dyno. As it ramps up it pulls itself off the rear roller then after the midrange torque hit it cones back down and has to accelerate the roller which has now slowed down. While tuning it was strapped hard and this didn't happen but it displayed a lower peak number.

Goes to show that even same day same dyno numbers can be skewed.

Must admit, I'm impressed with how Dann gives continued support and information to his paying customers. Is always an educational read too.

Actually, forget the paying customers part. Truth be told, I often struggle to find the right words to express myself.

What I admire is the continued support
