For those of you who are thinking of buying the Manifold/TB package from RPW here are some pics i took the other day...

has it made much of a difference to low end at all? im thinking of gettin the manifold/tb package from them as well .

Looks very nice Got any shots of inside the TB? What pressure did they set you FPR to? 35psi?

Nah didnt take any pics of the inside of the manifold sorry, i set the FPR at 40psi with the car warm...

I couldnt say that the manifold/tb alone would make any effect to the low end rev range as i got the Manifold/tb, extractors, cai boxed, FPR and NGK platium plugs put in all at once although with all this together i do see gain through the whole rev range more so high but there are some low as well...

Hitting mivec in 3rd is crazy its like it picks up alittle nos a 5500 revs hehe

i got the extractors and they defo have made a diff to the low end. working on a cai (too lazy to fit it up) and would need to buy the fpr. dont want to pay a lotta money and not see much difference.

Just out of curious, do you have a cold start problem ever since u installed the adjustable fuel regulator? As in you have to crank it twice 40% of the time during start up.

Nah cant say ive had that problem ? What do you have your FPR set at ? WIth mine set at 40 psi with a warm motor, at cold i think it sits around 50 or 55 psi

42psi at warm, can't remember when it was cold. It was done when I had the car dyno tuned.

dont want to pay a lotta money and not see much difference.

Welcome to the wonderful world of N/A motors.

Did you get it back from RPW that nice & clean? Or is it just painted silver?

Looks very nice... and standard!

The fuel pressure should be the same cold/warm iirc.

Standard pressure is 2.7 bar with the vacuum connected and 3.43 bar disconnected (wide open throttle)

So thats 50psi vacuum disconnected and 40 psi connected (standard)

got it all nice and silver back from RPW ...

Mr bishi what PSI should it be sitting at on a warm motor in your opinion ?

Hey Barfy, I notice your pressure gauge also has the air pocket in it...?
Thought mine was dodgy!

my gauge also has an air bubble... but i just assumed they were meant to be like that... maybe we've all got dodgy gauges

The same as a cold one. 3.43 bar vacuum disconnected (standard value)

Isn't the pressue depends on your modifications?? I thought thats the whole idea of getting an adjustable fuel regulator, if its set to normal, mind as well use the factory one.

What is 3.43 bar equal to in PSI ?

50psi

1 bar = 14.7psi

Barfy, does it look painted or cleaned to get that nice silver finish?
This is a must for me now!!

Does look good doesn't it

I'd say it would have been chemically cleaned / dipped. Especially after having metal removed with straight grinders from it.
