Post by **aza013** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 5:04 pm

just got back from the exhast shop with a price for a 2 1/2 inch mandrell bend setup stainless high flow cat and sports muffler twin outlet as standard look out the back $1200 going to try and get it done befor dyno day but got rego in two months grrrr

ecu is stock I think but have a mivec coltroller so may be an after market ecu

Azzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Lol. $1200 is a fair price for that, it is a metal cat they're giving you though ? If it's a ceramic cat, price may be a bit high. I'm using my tax return for rego and CTP hehe.

The mivec controller can only alter the high cam engagement point but not timing/ignition or afr so it won't increase peak dyno readout power. Seems the general consensus of adding a piggyback is another 5kw atw provided you've done some intake and exhaust work. See how your readouts are after intake and exhaust first though imho. After i did intake and exhaust, with factory ecu, the afr's were pretty much spot on, even better than the base run. I was going to put an e-manage in my car (still got it laying around haha) but i don't think it's worth it imho. It'll probably only give me a bit more power top end (as that's where i can still lean out the afr) but the rest of rev range is spot on, so there'd be no gain at all from normal driving. And the price if you didn't have the unit already would probably be all up bit over $1000 for purchase, install and tune. Would rather spend on brakes and suspension hehe.

Didn't you say in another thread that they tested the mivec controller and best was still factory set or 100 rpms below it ?

Oh btw, check out Best Mufflers in carlton for exhaust work, decent pricing but top notch quality and really honest advice.

if I get ceramic cat is cheeper will take price down to $1100 and then a $ price $1000 lol the green plastic notes talk

10% off

yes did a test on controller but I dont think he new a lot about them talking to other ppl may be abell to get a bit out of it only time will tell.

Best mufflers carlton will check them out on sat thanks

AZA, get the exhaust AFTER the dyno day, then you'll be able to see the difference in KW's.

Put me down as a good maybe for this.

Evo wont be road registered by then so it is out.... But yeah, I should have the FTO by then and would be a good first meet up ...

Post by **aza013** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:16 pm

would be good as a first meet up rock_it looking forward to it

I found out to that my FTO has not got a speed limiter in it so it reves out in 5th at 248 - 250kph and the mivec controler is up and running working very well

rock_it · Post by **rock_it** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 9:34 pm

Sorry for going off topic, but where do you get a Mivec controller from ??

Post by **aza013** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 11:57 am

it came with the car so I cant tell you but most of the good car parts shops should have some thing that dose the same job.
I think Apexi has some thing that dos the same

Okay guys, just to update y'all...
Driving down to the snow this sunday (hell yes!) and planning on being back the weekend of the 22nd. Unfortunately, I think that means driving back on the sunday so I'm most likely ruled out.

The woman just didn't seem to grasp the concept of a dyno and why a bunch of guys could find it exciting...

Post by **aza013** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 7:29 pm

yes understand but there is some out there that are biger revheads than us

Aza013...........yes
nicholas..........out due to snow trip
Bennoz...........maybe

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:06 am

I'd come down for it if the FTurbO was finsihed. Need a nice trip to NSW anyway...

Let me know when the next one of these is happening and if its after august, i'll prob make the trip.

Also, a 2.5" Exhaust is the way to go.. I love my one. can feel the difference i think.

Time to go to 3" though..

Post by **aza013** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:36 am

ftosam around August/september/october I am looking at getting a advanced driving day/weekend going, should be good fun

and yep 2.5 pipe working on that one just got to get some money up again tex time so may not have to weight to long

Miz_fto87 the start time is 10am I will be there around 09:30. you should put the 180sx up to see how it gos

that way the FTO's have a chalange apart from a volvo

yep a volvo is coming for a dyno run

rock_it · Post by **rock_it** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 4:19 pm

I saw a V6 Camry put out more power at the wheels then a friends stock tiptronic 96 FTO .... He was pretty embarrassed... I think it was cause he was mucking around with his Mivec controller ... And he didn't quite know how to set it ...

Post by **aza013** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 4:24 pm

that will do it

not setting controler right will be a change of up to 9kw at the ruber
