IS IT worth it? Chasing power? made up my mind... BOOST FTW! - Page 2

Dyno tune then road tune to clean up load.

As said to straight out road tune would, IMO be a mistake for a stock block vtec turbo...

horse

LOL at the clean in here too

VTAKYO · 18th January 2008, 02:27 PM

Non-sponsor advertising cleaned up.

I would get Hayces gear, get someone up here like Paul/2Sifty or Graham from 0800 CARTUNE to build it, and take it to NZEFi to tune the Link.

Sounds good to me, only i dont think his mani would fit, and Hayce- i was thinking about getting an M&H stealth 38mm wastegate, plus a gt28r, Pretty much the same turbo as far as i can find out?

NZEFI Recommended an SSI manifold that they sell? any good? or is there a better option?

Hayce · 18th January 2008, 03:00 PM

Well yeah there's other options, better depends on who's selling it most of the time

Could go the likes of a full race or peak boost but they're on the expensive side of things...

Measure your head-to-rad panel gap & I'll tell you if it fits.

SSI?

VTAKYO · 18th January 2008, 03:03 PM

SSI manifolds are good. The welding and porting is pretty immaculate. Japanese Race Supplies, one of our sponsors, also sells them and could probably do you a good deal on a flange/wastegate/manifold/hosing&fitting/etc package if you asked them. I had a SSI manifold, which VTEC_Junky now has.

^ oh dear...

crx_bob · 18th January 2008, 03:08 PM

Tuning is a fair way down the track for you but PAD Racing has always been good to me.

Bananaman · 18th January 2008, 03:08 PM

Measure your bay and see if you can get hayce's manifold in there. Is going to give better long term results that the SSI. Especially if you are chasing power. (my opinion)

Where are they? il take quotes from whoever i can get. It all helps.

And yes i will have to go check (car is not at my place) Can you PM me a price hayce? If you were willing to sell just the turbo and manifold... Without gate?

And cheers, good to hear SSI are Still an option.
Very limited down here in the south island, thats why i need all the names n numbers i can get

NZEFI also tuned the two fastest cars at the recent chertsey flying quarters, which i believe "hybrid garage" had a car at as well, where did that get?

You really need to try another approch for promoting your business "hybrid garage" instead of bagging out other companys!

I hear a couple of yours have had problems to? I trust nzefi, there work doesnt lie.

Hybrid Garage · 18th January 2008, 03:46 PM

true true it was out of line, they have done good work for example your car

BB4lude · 18th January 2008, 03:49 PM

last i heard not one of hybrids hadnt had problems.. personally id get a custom manifold made from steampipe which will also be the cheaper option than the good stainless manis and will never crack as my stainless one and many others did or get hayces if it will fit your setup . good luck

edit- the other thing is when hearing of such "problems" that whatever tuner has had it pays to find out what setup they were given to work with bruce knows his shit and gave them a good setup to tune and got awsome results whereas many cars are built with cheap crap ie xspower etc that results in blown engines that arnt the tuners fault at all

Ok il retract that statement, heard wrong.
N yeah but where to start, i cant fly up n find a shop to do it for me, there is none down here, that i trust. And im just hoping Hayce's one will fit!

But wont know for a while, moter is out getting a mount sorted out so will have to wait to get the right measurement!

Codeman · 18th January 2008, 04:18 PM

Hayce-- What moter n specs did you make that power on? Did you have any head work? was it stock block? b18 or b16? Just to give me an idea, with your gear, i would still only run 8psi.

How reliable was yours on 9psi?
I wont be pushing for a number, i want it safe.
Cheers

Horny_Devil · 18th January 2008, 06:11 PM

9psi will net u about 200wkw or around 260whp

enough talk now

fr3ek · 18th January 2008, 06:27 PM

NZEFI will treat you well. Brown's V8 killing circuit racing Civic has had their touch for example. Phil is from down here originally also.

And lol You dont have to be apart of the thread or help n answer my questions if you dont want to mate, but some people might.
Thats half the point of nzhondas.

Codeman · 18th January 2008, 08:34 PM

Alot of people have been saying how shit links are, and that there is much better than that to choose from.

What do people on here think? I just thought its up to the tuner how good the result turns out?

Horny_Devil · 18th January 2008, 08:39 PM

u only need to make one post

alot of what u are asking has been covered many time before

nemesisteg · 18th January 2008, 09:05 PM

ignore jase he's not real helpful most of the time, Links are a pretty simple sort of ecu, well the old style links are, just slower processor speeds than alot of other ecu's, in saying that i have no idea about new links. but hey i run an integralink in my car and i cant complain with it at all. by far the best thing about link is its kiwi!! and alot of people in NZ can tune them!! basically when it comes to tuning an ecu its all in the tuner, rule of thumb is base your ecu on who is going to tune your car. soichi at st-hitec = power fc
nzefi = link
just for examples, alot of people say they can tune all sorts of ecu's but its best to stick with someone who knows that particular ecu and its functions inside and out.

my integra makes 280kw atw happily on an integralink, not to mention what bruces monster does on a link also, nuff said 8)
