Neilp Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Do you think they guys at abbey will be able to carry out a service while they're here. My cars due a service in June. 06 Done 21 thousand miles and been service 4 times already. Unsure what service to be carried out ie. P2 or P3.

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi, I am away on holiday for a few days , to be honest it will just be a mapping trip not servicing , really want to fly up do my work and fly back. We will need a dyno for a few days so Stew can you look into this please, as I have said not really wanting to get involved with be F/I remaps would prefer these to be brought to me in Surrey but the Uprev reflashs will be okay , Group buys maybe not, If I get enough ca,sr to do over 2/3 days I will owrk out what the extra cost will be for me to come to you to do the tunig. Have a good easter and be in touch very soon people. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Will there be a group buy discount? FFS - they're going to make a 1000 mile round trip and you're asking about a GB discount?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a grip of yourself Whooh . Why not? They might be getting 10 cars at once to book. near enough 4k bar dyno time and labour. There is no harm in asking. I would go to Surrey if there was a group buy discount there. Obviously not saying about Abbey but other tuners on other forums have made trips to Scotland and Ireland for custom mapping and offered group discounts. Win win for everyone. Also where would this be happening? If its near my hood you could stay at my house, my mums cooking is great or I know some good hotels round here. Also how much eqipment would you need just a laptop and other bits? If so you could fly up. I could try and get you a good deal on a flight . If not its all good. Just trying to make your stay better and possibly cheaper for us too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I would like to try and get in on this venture - what mods should be completed (ideally) before getting the uprev reflash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I would like to try and get in on this venture - what mods should be completed (ideally) before getting the uprev reflash? Plenum, induction kit, hi flow cats or decats, exhaust. But even on a standard car some power will be found, it will be better on fuel and will have better drivabilty. TBH its about what you want and the Uprev reflash will make the best of what you have. I think anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I presume since it's Stew organising this that the venue is going to be in Aberdeen, would that be correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with the standard induction and get a free flowing panel filter for it. Most, if not all induction kits will lose you a few bhp.

chriswatson99 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Stew, count me in. I'm hoping to either have a Stillen Hi-Flow Dual Intake ('07+) Generation 2 or 3 and a Morordyne exhaust true dual system by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I have heard the standard airbox with a drop in panel filter produces better results performance wise also neil I have a JWT Popcharger so will stick with that - if I have time to change it to something a little more aesthetically pleasing before they come, I might though!

I have no idea why they would do that to be honest, but a cone filter which is exposed in the engine bay (such as the Nismo one you mentioned) will never be as good as the standard induction which has a properly sealed box. Cone filters will always suffer from heat soak. Found this out myself the hard (and expensive) way! I guess people buy them for the noise and the fact it looks nice, I know I did!

Stew Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 1. Stew - DC SportsTD exhaust, Injen CAI, Kinetix V+..... probably have a flutter on a few more mods if I'm doing an UpRev 2. Kenny (tt350z) - Power Enterprise TT running Haltech Platinum 3. Dblock - Japspeed k2, Japspeed Y pipe, (hopefully) Dc Exhaust manifold, K&N Typhoon, (hopefully) Plenum spacer (02 JDM auto) 4. srobrien - 2005 UK GT, Pipercross Induction, Pure 5/8" Plenum spacer, K1, (maybe japspeed y-pipe) TOTALLY UP FOR THIS. 5. JT1703 ( John ) - '05 GT , Powerflow Custom Dual Exhaust ( Cats back ) , JWT Popcharger. Would definitely get Plenum Spacer etc etc as recommended by Abbey as well. 6. Jason - Japspeed k2, Japspeed y pipe, AEM CAI Or pop charge depending on readings. Will purchase a plenum spacer soon. 7. Chadwick - k1 exhaust, plenum spacer pipercross induction 8. maz - pop charger / exhaust 9. Jim - JWT popcharger (JDM tiptronic - do you need the ECU number?) 10. chriswatson99 - MY07 hopefuly with some mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIE MOY Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I have an 08 HR 350z with no mods...........

Not meaning to be rude but just wondering what's the point of them then? Cool mate, it would be interesting to run both on dyno with each setup and see the differences. So if I box my nismo in a pipe it from front, I should get better gains? Seems mental that nismo state power gains with it and then most tuned cars run it when really you could just use standard. Very good question! I have no idea why they would do that to be honest, but a cone filter which is exposed in the engine bay (such as the Nismo one you mentioned) will never be as good as the standard induction which has a properly sealed box.

Your right but I like the noise. I personally wouldnt take it off for 1-2bhp but the Uprev can limit the power lost I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of what I said is mixed in the above quote, sorry but blame it on the iPhone. I had a HKS induction kit and when tested on a dyno against my standard intake we found the HKS was losing 3-4 bhp across the whole rev range. I was speaking to the guy doing the tuning and he said that was very common and that after market air intakes usually don't flow as well as the standard intake. I've spoke to others from here who have said the same thing. Don't know how successful just boxing in a Nismo intake would be, doubt it would be as good as just using the standard air box, as even eliminating the heatsoak issue, it still won't flow as well as the standard intake. To be honest, it's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it's worth knowing when considering a re-tune as every bhp counts.

srobrien Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just get a cone filter with a heat shield like the pipercross system, should give all the benefits of free flow air with no heatsoak, and it sounds awesome R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
