That's right, John, and more importantly FASTER

 

nice one, be looking foward to it.

 

i need help lol,
will an open neck stainless steel downpipe assembly for a 2001-05 be ok for my car? and what sort of price are these normaly? its also a hayward and scott

 

Open neck is fine - is it the year you are questioning? Yours is an 04 isn't it?

Not much in it between twin dump and open neck, but open neck is technically slightly better.

H&S is a very good option - not sure on price. You going for 2.5" or 3"

lol dont know the size mine is an 03

 

Probably will be 2.5", you only get 3" if you specify it. Worth a thought if you are planning a VF turbo upgrade and more power

Scoob is fixed!!!!!

Well sort of

But I will be a the meet, although I might feel the odd one out, what with all the Evo's about at the mo

hi mate got a fav to ask maybe getting the full decat pipes, down pipe and the centre but not the middle box, fancy helpping me fit um?

 

oh yeah if i fitted full decat would i have to have a remap, or would it be ok with out?

 

Ok without it, but you will gain further with a remap after decatting.

Would advise a Knocklink and boost gauge regardless..

I believe I have an open neck exhaust and mine is a full decat - needed nothing doing to engine cept I had an air induction for better airflow and more performance.

It sounds the dogs danglies too.. a really nice rumble.

Im waiting for that guy from the IOW to come back to me about a chip I know he got my emails coz I tag them but he hasn't replied

 

SG - Your STi2 is a different kettle of fish to a UK MY03.

You need to be careful on an STi if you decat and then add an induction kit. Even with the earlier MAF, most induction kits will cause the fuelling to lean out on boost - added to that the exhaust has speeded everything up too and you may have a problem. My decatted STi4 and 5 both detted on boost with a full decat - octane booster toned it down a little, but still not right.

The gains from most induction kits are usually negative if not housed off from the engine bay - due to hot air draw. Any gain will be from leaning the mixture, and they also do the torque no favours IMHO.

Just my 2 penneth

Ive had mine installed 2 years and gained around 20-25 bhp.. no problems yet. Perhpas coz I have an import? I noticed immediate sustained power that gets better after a service - cleaning out my valves etc.

 

SG

Dave (IOW) is usually pretty busy, I'll prob speak to him over the weekend, i'll get him to email you back if you havent heard by then.

20 bhp from a full decat on an STi is about right - filter really will be not much - if anything. I lost torque, power didn't change with a K&N on a uk car, did a before and after test

The info I gave above was specifically for STi (ie an import) still an issue on a UK car but a fair bit less of a prob as thy are in a much less state of tune, and only require 97 RON - rather than the 100 RON we need.

The filtration is crap on the HKS / Blitz and the power gains they claim are from allowing more air in, but also more crap (engine bay oil mist too) and hot air. Also the standard airbox is great design in terms of keeping out heat and only needs changing above 320 ish bhp

Cleaning out valves??

MB

 

I have one valve that gets carbon in it and they dust it out for me

cheers Myk, but he has already contacted me and we are arranging a mainland meeting

 

Nice!

Beware of carbon induced det

I will be there to represent the Legacy Crew... On my own

 

Fear not!...

I shall also bring my current weapon of choice on Monday.

 

Amused me!

im bored

 

i just join'd scoobycity. not bad but not as good as here

 

What do you want to do?

 

Andy, get yerself down to DFS!!!!!!!

 

Ah Ron, just the fella, wanting to change my downpipe. Have done the centre section and the front catpipe, by doing the downpipe do I need to re-mapp? still unsure as to what this is/does.........HELP. (didn't have this problem owning a Vectra, bl**dy modding) Theres a downpipe group buy going on so need to find out

 

Hi Ron n all

I dont think ill be able to make it to this meet im busy atm maybe next time

Thx

Tim

 

Depends on what year / model it is Paul. Generally Uk cars are fine, a remap just adjusts the fuelling / timing / boost to suit your mods, therefore the gains will be more. Adding e TEK remap after a full decat is like adding another decat on all over again, well worth it.

MB

 

Paul, the only real thing you need to do is fit a little black box which stops the CEL coming on all the time!!

Will chat Monday!!

 

Mark, its a my01 bugeye wrx
