FTO AUSTRALIA

As it has always been posted " pics or it did not happen "

I know what he got!!!!!

to you as well then

But I know AJ had to get more power out of it as he could not get away from me last run

I've taken the afternoon off work so thought I'd fit the filter today instead of at the weekend. Firstly though, I noticed when I got home last night that my bonnet is sitting wrong.


On further investigation today, the new oil filter is too big and the bonnet is being lifted by it. Envy are ordering one in and will replace it at the weekend...bloody apprentice.

Here's the before picture of the old filter in the car




This is it when I took it out (yes, it looks like mickey mouse) so I'm glad I ordered the new one instead of trying to wash this one.



The new one looks huge


But fits fairly easily and looks much better now.


Oh, and as for the dyno results.... red = 7lbs boost and green = 10lbs of boost.



It's running too lean to run any more boost. With the computer gear it's running, they just can't tune it any more so I've been quoted a Haltec and will probably wait until next year for that and an exhaust.

Apparently "there is plenty more to get out of it. Expect over 210 with the Haltec and exhaust done."

So now it is running more power on 7lbs than it was on the old 9lbs.

I'm not entirely sure how that feels on the road though as it was so damn wet on the way home last night. I was spinning in 3rd gear and drifting across the lanes at over 100km/h.

Niiiiice.

Yeah, I've spent countless hours fixing apprentice fuckups lol. Just get 'em to stick to the dynoing.

Great numbers there AJ
You should be over the moon with that.

Cheers mate.

That power curve is looking MUUCCCHHHHHH better.

Awesome stuff man. How much did you pay for the filter element, I need to get a new one too. Cheapest I could find was $45 off flebay

Is this hks fto still with stock internals?
The numbers are real good man! Would love to see it going over 200kw atw.

$3 plus $10 postage from Malaysia and it arrived in just over a week. He has more available.

It's still dry outside and I have to go out later so will give it a bit of a run to see how it goes.

We're not sure. My mechanic thinks that it does because it was running so lean when he first put it on the dyno he didn't push it at all and he said he'd never seen a stock engine not blow up from running that lean. Perhaps we can crack it open at uncle Bennoz 1 weekend and take a look.

Yeah, over 200kw would be good and that'll do me. Won't be going ridiculous after that. Going to check out suspension and brakes at the weekend and also get another quote for the exhaust.

it looks like they have moved where the mivec kicks in to smooth it out, is that the case?

can i get the cage at that price too?

Not sure Rich, it doesn't have a Mivec controller so I don't know if it's possible to change that with HKS gear it's running.

No, that's just for the replacement filter.

I will sell you my stand alone EMS 8860 if you want a good chip.. Has been running the Evo.. But I want to upgrade..

old

new



much smoother!

Looking great! 174fwkw w00!

Would be nice and quick now!

Max i had in a fwd was 180 or so in the mps3 but that car has a narrower rpm band and ~200kg more.

Just one thing AJ, on the graph for the high boost run, the motor was wound out to 8700rpm..i would be hella uncomfortable for someone to be doing that while not knowing 100% the motor is built. Note the factory cutout is 8250rpm and that's with no boost.

Happy hunting
