captint Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Its the dollars man, the dollars Quote
rickya Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Exactly, you wont get a better time than now at $2 to the £1 Quote

captint Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 No, want to sort out the power and handling side, aesthetics can wait Quote
Sarnie Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Including fitting £10K (no Shipping vat or duty as I'm special) What kind of figures you expecting all that to produce? Quote
captint Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 No more than 412 bhp as I' not doing the internals, but is should be nice and progressive, and should handle very nicley too Once this is done the it's time for the Zed to go on a diet and loose some weight, I reckon that will be the key to the optimum performance Quote

Just so i can correlate it into my simple mind: What will 412 bhp take off the 0-60 time? Quote
sl114 Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Sounds good Marc, weightloss is my far the best mod when you start upping the power. Quote
captint Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, mate your not wrong, all part of OBC Ball park 4.35 0-60 0 - 100 9.5 Quote
sl114 Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, mate your not wrong, all part of OBC Ball park 4.35 0-60 0 - 100 9.5 sweeeeeeet! you have to take me for a spin when its all done mate Quote
Sarnie Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, mate your not wrong, all part of OBC Ball park 4.35 0-60 0 - 100 9.5 4.35 0-60 Shiiiiiiiiiit Losing 1.6 seconds over such a short time is massive reduction Quote
captint Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah no worries, this time its 100%, cash in my pocket, just want to know if I've missed anything or spec'd incorrectly, but it looks right to me Quote
Stew Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Looks good. Couldn't tell you if you've missed anything though! Quote
Guest prescience Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 EMS? If you're using SplitSec, you'll need an immediate re-tune with the Walbro; the stock map is set-up for the Aux in-line fuel pump (which is Walbro 155). The 255 might overpower the stock injectors too. The Vortech install recommends tapping (cutting) into the oil pan well above the oil level rather than using a spacer. I think its fine to use a spacer (StephenG has one) but be aware it will immediately invalidate your Vortech warranty if you do not install as per spec. Your figures are a tad optimistic too - 395BHp and probably just under 5 0-60. Remember your top end power is good but torque in the mid0range does not compare to a TT - and your true dual exhaust will not help that low-down torque either BTW Quote

Remember your top end power is good but torque in the mid0range does not compare to a TT - and your true dual exhaust will not help that low-down torque either BTW I have the JWT oil pan spacer but my tap-off is still from the main sump as there were various concerns in the US of the oil not flowing correctly, or something like that, so I went for the Vortech approved method. Agree with the realistic figures (395bhp, 4.9sec 0-60), but it will be noticable. Not sure I follow the low-down torque comment; I saw no difference when going Nismo to true dual. Seperately, I got Abbey to retune my SS box to give me as much mid-range grunt as possible, which in effect was only a moderate difference. Quote

Seperately, I got Abbey to retune my SS box to give me as much mid-range grunt as possible, which in effect was only a moderate difference. I can understand from a technical viewpoint why modest back-pressure aids the torque with S/C and N/A but of course it's a 'No-No' with TT. However, I do agree its modest and accept it may not be noticeable and can't disagree with you not having done a back-to-back comparison myself. I did not know that about your oil tap - so the spacer is not really much benefit to you then? Also, captint you should get a wiring harness if going with SplitSec to avoid cutting wires - I regret not doing this. Was your's the Autosport Stephen? The main issue way above all the others is the fuel pump; I cannot see any reason whatsoever in paying for a 255 install without a full fuel return system and larger injectors. It will add to your grief, I guarantee it Quote
captint Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks chaps, comments taken on board, will be finalising arrangements over the next 2 weeks and should be finished by 15th of March, lets see on the stats, will update on dyno etc. Will speak to Spill re fuel lines etc My understanding is that 412 would be safe on standard internals, but no more, thats my goal, but if it doesnt happen then the dyno will tell Quote
