why dont you just be a patient individual and wait till both companies release Dyno's and prices then make your comments. no point in hurling insults over hearsay.

 

you
I
Simple enough?

 

wow a lil hostility here!

 

Sometimes I just read this thread for the entertainment not even about the products....lol. Let me get the popcorn.

 

well for those itnerested first photos of the headers fitted into the car on our website now

http://www.rpw.com.au/Customer%20Ca...057mainpage.htm

Only two fitting issues to be rectified - the headers are being moved out 15mm closer to the radiator to clear the heat shield on the starter motor, and repositioning the front O2 sensor further up the headers so that we don't have to cut and extend the wiring.

But car drives very very very nice, lot stronger down low and picked up performance up top. Unfortunatly due to other factors, I can't get to the dyno today so won't be till monday / your sunday before we can put teh car back on the dyno

But fitting wise took a total of 3/4 hour from start to finish with the bolt on kit which anyone can do in there back yard its that easy.

This kit is with the smaller 1 1/2" diameter pipes, next kit with 1 3/4" pipes will be tested in around 1 1/2 weeks time

 

dead link. this one works http://www.rpw.com.au/Customer%20Car...57mainpage.htm

Looks amazing, very interested in results and pricing.

 

looks very good...
but still i personally dont see the point of the cat (weather high flow or not) in a high performance setup..
plant a tree or buy your emisions certificate (sp?)

 

You say that like it's a mutually exclusive thing, a REAL high flow cat doesn't create anything close to the backpressure that the stock cat does. Running around town without a cat on a street car is rediculous, diamond plate floorboard, danger high manifold, motec exhaust, rediculous. The amount you gain isn't worth the headaches. If you want that extra little bit for the racetrack, install a test pipe in place of the cat. But put the cat back on afterwards, a thousand cars w/o cats might not produce the same emmisions as an industrial plant but how much crap do you really want to breathe? A little or a little more? Not being a tree hugging hippie, just being semi-global in my thinking is all.

 

just playing on stereotypes, because I do agree with you, but are you from California by any chance? Sound like a damn hippy

The only place for a non-cat exhaust system is on the track. Either your exclusively track driven car or your weekend warrior daily driver car with a test pipe for the weekend. I am not even opposed to driving to the track with the test pipe, just take it off to commute

 

^^^Xactly! Or as a hippy should it be ? LOL

Aww why not.. go for broke and put them together!

 

well to cut the conversation short, if you don't run a cat the factory computer has a minor heart attack with the CEL light and tuning issues. So run one if you don't want to, but at the expense of some power, fuel economy and possible damage to the engine in the long run.

The question is - is it really worth it.

And with the kit, if you want to you can use the stock cat converter on the car, you don't have to buy our cat converter. BUt it is there as an option being a direct bolt on kit, wiht no cutting or welding requried.

 

Mitsiman - regarding the turbo kit, you mentioned using the gt28r. I was wondering if you might be so kind as to perhaps list the details on the trim you'd be using, (ie gt2854r, gt2860r, or the gt2871r)? etc. Reason I ask is I plan on perhaps buying a larger turbo (gt3071r maybe) and putting it on your manifold, with your emanage etc - basically your kit with a larger turbo. I assume this could easily be done? Sorry if this is a completely noob question and thanks for all the feedback.

 

The turbo we woudl be using is either a GT2530 or a GT2540 being either a 320hp or a 400hp ball bearing turbo option on our kits.

These are the two largest internally wastegated models but are large enough for obviously very very good power, but also small enough to turbo lag is a myth. For the auto models we woudl recomend teh GT2530, for the manuels GT2540.

The next option up from this is the baseline GT25/35 model which is 450hp turbo, ball bearing but requires external wastegate but in all honesty, to justify the turbo lag that this woudl start to create, you would need some very large cams, forged components etc. We have always been on the philophisy of sizing the turbo that will maximise your driveability, power and low down rpm torque.

 

So I have an Auto RA....But also I am José Manuel...which 1 I should use???


Sorry for the joke....I know want you mean....lol


Just keep the good work & the toys coming!!!

 

hahaha
