Yes the project is back online so back to our origonal plan

(A) Dyno vehicle stock
(B) Fit cat back exhaust 2 1/2" and re check
(C) Fit new 2 1/2" down pipe and high flow cat converter and recheck
(D) Fit K&N air intake system and recheck
(E) Fit Haltech piggy back ecu - tune on standard boost
(F) Also tune on higher boost

Tuned maps once done, will be available for future customers with same level of mods as a baseline tune (Although tuned slightly less aggressivly to compensate for variations in exhaust systems)

Our plan is to have this all completed by end of January and have most of the items, in this case the down pipe packages available beginning of febuary.

Big thanks to the new test vehicle owner for stepping up to the plate, we will make sure that he gets everything possible that we can do for him.

good idea ColtVerR, plus Mitsiman and me will be able to give plenty feedback on the results of their test work, prior to them being available to all.

and I don't mind paying the pro's to mess with things like ECU's and Exhausts etc... I was quite handy in my day with the old Holden 186 or 253, but those motors where easy - they just had the motor block, carby, battery and radiator and that was pretty much it :) nowadays you just about need a Degree just to top up the washer fluid :confused:

Just a small update, I found my origonal files from the last car we tested witha before and after on the exhaust change. Will be good to compare it to the new test vehicle.

Our new test vehicle is due in Wednesday next week so the real stuff is going to happen, and fast. Very much looking forward to the results and the enjoyment of taking it from its current low figures to something that people are going to love

Good stuff, we all look forward to the results, and I'd be interested to see what the fuel ratios do after the exhaust change!:)

cannot wait to see the different results, unfortunately due to a $15,000 tax bill, it will be a month or two till i get down to RPW!!! But being a Perth RColter, I will be coming down to get some changes done! I will be getting the engine exhaust and stuff done first i think...
