FTO AUSTRALIA

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.

Aza013...........yes
nicholas..........maybe
Bennoz...........maybe
oliver..............yes
rock_it............Interested
yellowftogpx....Yes
Delvance.........Yes for the 22nd

AJ...................a good maybe


as for exhaust if any one needs work done on theres on the day let me know as I can get the exhaust place next door to open up on the sunday but I must know befor the day ASAP would be good.

AJ I already know what the car can do 107kw sorry 106.86kw so should see the change but I may do a run on the dyno and then get it done and do a 2nd run same day thats pending on numbers for exhaust place that is

ok I went down and had a look at the nisan car club on there dyno day and they had some fun
A lot of turbo datsuns and non runs from 80kw up to 180kw+
will love to see all the FTOs and mitsubishi cars up on dyno and any other car that wants to come all welcome

Ok just want to do a check to see what the numbers are like for the dyno day on the 22nd of this month that way I can give Paul some numbers to work off

nicholas..........maybe
Bennoz...........maybe
oliver..............yes
rock_it............Interested

thanks Azza

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 ...

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

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

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...

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

Aza013...........yes
nicholas..........out due to snow trip
Bennoz...........maybe
oliver..............yes
rock_it............Interested
yellowftogpx....Yes
Delvance.........Yes for the 22nd
ON2U..............sounds good
AJ...................a good maybe
also 1 Volvo

Gday Aza,

If its the 22nd, my mate will probably come with his subie too. Cheers.

yep its 22nd
sweet but its only a 2wd dyno can he run it as a 2WD

also can I get an oficiall count that is going to come to this as I need to let Paul at Pulse racing know by monday thanks

i might come too i dunno if i can bring my fto but coz it might not be ready but ill try to come in my bfs 180sx i just wanna come and see heaps of ftos i havent driven mine in soo long
what time would everyone go there

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..

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

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 ...

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