Hi guys just thought i would update you on how my car goes with all the RPW stuff on....

For those of you that dont know i got Extractors, Manifold/TB with the insulators, FPR along with the NGK Platium plugs (from the group buy), UAS CAI kit...

Goes hard in 1st and if redlined in 1st your sitting dead smack on the mivec range in 2nd and just out of mivec range in 3rd if redlined in 2nd heaps more torque thoughout ...

Ive noticed no flatspots in third gear actually 3rd goes pretty hard after about 4000RPM (on a flat road) heaps of torque similair to what 2nd gear is like normally ...

This is happening even with a stock exhaust apart from the X force N1 cannon ( i actually thought i had a cat back system but found out i didnt when the extractors where put on). So i guess i will be getting that sorted soon and having the Greddy emanage ultimate installed from car toys

Off the top of my head i think it was around $700 but when u send your old manifold back u get $200 back....

Pics will be taken on the weekend ....

ive got the extractors sittin in my boot. gonna get a high flo cat and a resonator when i fit it, but yea daves told me id need the fpr. wondering what the mani/tb looks like (btw is it polished

) and kinda gains u'd get with it

It looks excately the same as the stock one more shiny not polished though, as all they do is bore it out to create more air flow and make the TB 65mm...

Basically as i explain above with the gains thats what i got with all this added .... I havent dynoed it yet though

How do you get it into MIVEC from 1st to 2nd? Mine can't...
And... 2nd to 3rd how do you get out of MIVEC? Mine stays in MIVEC even ith less than 8000rpm

Can't wait till all my stuff is in the car... should go quite hard

Depends on weather it's a 4sp tip, 5 spd tip or manual. They have different gearing.

My gearing only has about a 500-1000rpm swing, so if I was in a GPX then shifting at anything over 5000rpm would land me smack on mivec in the next gear.
