Very impressive, throw in that 100 octane and lets see 430rwhp!!

haven't made it yet. beedub a flying question LOL did you just fill the race fuel into the tank or you have to turned to another map that already made for the race fuel like HPF did? becoz I'm not sure if I'm going to gain extra power and I'm not really sure if the race fuel I bought is the proper one to use? which one do you think is the best one to use?

yeah i just throw it in the tank..... the dme adapts to the better quality fuel and you get more power, its a very different think on the hpf setups as they run more boost, timing ect ect... our boost is the same, our ecu just advances the timing and gives you alittle extra...... true 100 octane will make the world of difference but its not just the power, its the smoothness of the power and the way the engine behaves on better fuel, you should feel it pretty readily!!

One of the main reasons i run a catch can is because the oil that our engines ingest as part of the breather sytem alters a/f ratio, lowers fuel octane increasing chance of detonation..... i feel so much better with it in place...

which fuel did you use? is it from VP racing fuel?

i use shell 105 octane fuel...... i have a 100 litre drum @ home and pump it into a 5litre can.......

went you filled you tank with the race fuel did you mix it with the normal fuel which is 95 like us or you get empty then you fill it? I'm getting confused about that becoz I dont really have a full idea about using a racing fuel. all what I know about HPF or the 135,335 when they use the racing fuel they have to get the take empty then they will fill it.

[Beedub]

nah because we are not map switch you can mix it in with your fuel...... run low and just dunk it in!!! i usually fill with 98 octane to half a tank and then fill with 105 to get to a nice mix and i can see the difference on the a/f gauge......

I used the torco 100 with 1/4 tank and fill it to the half of the tank or you could say between the half tank and the 3/4 tank mix with 95 Octane becoz this the higher rate of Octane we have anyway honestly I didnt feel any difference. maybe becoz the race fuel I took is not the right one.

try it on the dyno after a few tanks of high octane stuff, remember on our cars you not going to see huge gains, cleaning running, less chance of det, more hp...... i think my car runs better on the high octane stuff, even more important on a car that was never designed to be FI, then blown imo....

anyone up to date pics of the car/ engine bay?? hows the car running generally??

car is running cool just having some issues, clutch issue slipping in 3th gear while fast shitting from 2nd to 3th gear, a delay while shifting fast mostly I felt that in 4th and 5th. I went back to the OEM 18'' wheels I had a difficulty finding tires for the 20'' wheels. I tried hankook Ventus S1 Evo for the 18'' I feel like they grip very well much better than Nitto INVO that I have on the 20''. going to make a couple videos show you up how the car perform.

[tikamak]

Why don't you try the NITTO NT05? it likes our warm weather.

lebanon here.

i bought a set of NITTOs NT05 along with some 18 inch sportline CS.16 forged wheels

i think you need to look at cluch replacement soon, you will damage other components with a slipping clutch that will cost you alot more.

my car has an oil service soon, id like to strap it down to the dyno to see what we get with all the little mods added in......

The part of the difference in traction is going from a 20" tire with a small and very stiff sidewall, to an 18" one that allows it to flex under acceleration and grip much better

Sounds awesome , thanks for the info that's makes me better becoz I got worried actually . I thought that cozed by the slipping so many times.

no update to the car was too busy, only made this video by My new GoPro Hero 2 HD camera. hope you like it

[Beedub]

huh i wont lie i expected a better picture from the Go pro Hd....

you last camera you used was 10x better in terms of resolution and sound.......

Well done on the car please post some up to date pics of her :-)

this is the Hero2. The hero1 is even WORSE in the night shots. much worse

Make sure you turn up the youtube settings too.


really cool clip by the way, car looks very very fast. Is your clutch fixed?

yah that Nikon I have is a way better than GoPro whatever. The only reason of buying the GoPro it's small and you can fit it any where you like. will post a pictures with the new Cousin's Z4M R

yah it's fast . the clutch still not fixed actually I need to take a free time to make a full check up of the car becoz I feel like the car somehow in some reasons get weak. I need to fit a boost gauge 'n oil gauge to see how do the car run exactly I may loose some boost with some reason. overall the car looks a monster in the street. never compare it to another car. if I did I post a video.

[ZStig]

When you get your clutch fixed you should borrow/buy a Vbox and see if you can match my 0-60 and 0-100 numbers

[ZStig]

I strongly recommend a boost gauge with a peak recall feature to let you know how much boost you made. It will read too high by 2psi if you hit your rev limiter. But you do NOT want to be looking at a boost gauge during a run

I'm trying to make a review of the whole car but work always cut me in half cant even enjoy it. I'll be working on other things also. need to ask how did you guys install the boost and the other gauges? what did you do with wiring along the car from out to inside?
