RobPhoboS Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Looking forward to finally checking this beast out when timing is cool man. Just regarding the hiss, I had that with a stillen y pipe (sure different car but..). 1 Quote
dajw Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Cool. Let me know. I'm mostly around now, no more India trips for a while. 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Awesome news mate just spent some more time in mine tonight it is a machine now want to do somthing with the exhaust would like Adrians but I haven't got the co Jones whatever they are lol:) 2 Quote
dajw Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 After much shopping with Torqen this is what an Ark GRiP system looks like under the car. Also red Eibach ARBs. Green-ness from the grass underneath the car! 1 Quote
Kev T Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Cool, great to hear ....... Got to laugh at the way you describe the exhaust sound ..... No clue what Shirley bassey sounds like gargling malt wisky !! And yes the infamous hiss at 18-1900 revs , seems every HR or 70 has this with aftermarket exhaust . Mine hasn't : Motordyne XYZ downpipe with motordyne decats and HKS SSM rear exhaust = no drone or hiss. Quote

Mine hasn't : Motordyne XYZ downpipe with motordyne decats and HKS SSM rear exhaust = no drone or hiss. Then I give up .... Every car is different then !!! Got my art pipes on now Still a little rasp but probably 60-70 % less than before with the normal decats . So much nicer Quote
dajw Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Mini update: I'm taking the car back in to Horsham for a few adjustments to the tune: The torque falls off a wall below 4k, where the car feels gutless (this is all relative). It manifests itself as a lack of urge when you drop down to overtake until the revs climb. What would have been one cog on the old map is two on this map. Gearbox fine tuning, plus fluid level check at the appropriate temps. (It makes a strange noise now and then, and doesn't always shift promptly). Mini issues: its a never ending list of tweaks coming up: Rattle from ARBs somewhere. That's what it sounds like anyhow. A knocking/rattle at low speeds when the car rolls over a bump Fix a little bottle round the stillen coolant bottle overflow pipe. Don't want that dripping down into the wheel well. Move the ambient air temp sensor to a better place (i.e. not right behind the oil cooler). Project ideas: Either sell the Frozenboost type 101 air-water intercooler or figure out how to fit the bloody thing without damaging the crash bar. Make a divider to separate the oil and steering radiators from the air intakes like this thing that swiss370z did on the US forum Play then win the lottery and buy a Ferrari 488 GTB That thing looks amazing. ps. I figured out a way to normalise the data between dynos so that I could see whether the torque difference was significant (as a trend, rather than an absolute comparison). It looks like this: Edited June 11, 2015 by dajw Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 That's not too bad a list ! Suspensions sounds link Arb links . Dom , on part throttle as in keeping a constant speed does yours have a slight hesitation to it ? Like you're slightly lifting off and on the throttle a little ? Quote

Dom , on part throttle as in keeping a constant speed does yours have a slight hesitation to it ? Like you're slightly lifting off and on the throttle a little ? Yes absolutely. I'd describe it as a nervousness to it. Its fine if you are going or not going, but just keeping up with traffic with light throttle has this nervy feeling to it. I wonder what causes this? Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I've spoken to jez about it and it's turbulence in the induction side around the maf sensors ..... He's going to have my car for a week soon and do some R and D on it , to hopefully cure it . It's the only thing that I want I sort out really . I'm going to whip off the bumper when I get a chance and make up some shielding for the air filter as I'm led to believe this might help the matter as well . 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Just flip the bar and get a new thread put in for the towing eye ..... Job done ! Quote

I'm going to whip off the bumper when I get a chance and make up some shielding for the air filter as I'm led to believe this might help the matter as well . I'll ask him about this also. I bet Nick would be interested too. What do you make of the shield between the hot oil cooler and air intake as per swiss370z did? Looks sensible. 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Haven't seen that ...... But mine is all different as I've ( h- dev ) have had to relocate the air filter to the other side of the bay . It doesn't have a shroud around it though and I did get one with the stillen kit , so will try and squeeze it in. Do you have a link for the said bracket ? Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 The one that's the Swiss dude has made ...... Found the link to it but doesn't for some reason show me the pictures in the thread You should have has a metal shroud / bracket that goes around the air filter ....well at least mine came with one . Yours might be different as you have 2 air filters and only have one . Quote
nissanman312 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Also had turbulence mine switches to speed density to cure this is smooth as a baby Charge temps on the other hand dam I've just been out and I'm hitting ians safe map easily which is set around 60ish degree's Quote
dajw Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 … smooth as a baby What? Babies are wrinkly! Heheh Quote
nissanman312 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Dom what is the fan your running on your stillen rad? Quote

You can't even get a temp sensor put in to inlet as you have Nic that will work with the uprev Jez did say something about phoning uprev about a sensor of some sort. You need that frozen boost on mate , flip the crash bar , get someone to Ali weld the tow eye back on . Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I do have the shroud thingy. Want pics? Yes please mate Quote
dajw Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Not marvellous pics but it is there. These are what I sent to Nic to help him figure out where it should go. Quote
