I am considering swapping my Vortex afterburner b/b for a Blitz Nur b/b.
How do they compare sound wise on tickover and at high revs, would there be much difference in the noise levels?
Thanks.

I have ear defenders if you need to borrow 'em Bob.

pslewis

I have a NINJA and, I can honestly say, it's probably the best compromise - lovelly idle burble but not booming on a run.

andythejock01wrx

Doesn't it annoy the neighbours early in the morning/ late at night Pete ?

Daft Lad

Bit abrasive for you Pete, I thought you'd be happy with the standard peashooter?

Swapping all those parts that Subaru spent so much time and money developing for some nonsense aftermarket stick on bits? I'm disappointed in you Mr Lewis, I truely am.

andythejock01wrx

**** me, it's crowded in 'ere !!

Jesus.............have you got the modding bug finally?

pslewis

I still have the pea-shooter available .........

But, I must admit to enjoying the burble at idle with the Ninja - and it really isn't loud (remember I do NOT push the engine over 3000 RPM)

andythejock01wrx

Shhhhh - he's on the phone to Bob Rawle right now !!

pslewis

I draw the line at a BackBox ..................

Getting LV to accept it on the Insurance was a major bloody task!!! Imagine if I had done something really stupid, like a Re-Map!!

andythejock01wrx

Yeah, imagine having better mpg, wouldn't that be awful.

pslewis

Better mpg????

There is only ONE way to achieve better mpg and that is to burn LESS fuel.

Burning LESS fuel gives LESS power ..... yeah, riiiiiiiight, sounds a good idea

Or perhaps remaps, decats etc simply result in greater efficiency, better than even the almighty Subaru with their millions could come up with.

(Sorry Bob - you knew none of us could resist)

Tell you what would improve your fuel economy Pete - buy a car without a turbo on it. Seeing as you apparently never drive over 3000rpm you never use the bloody thing anyhow.

pslewis

I see - you mean take the vehicle outside the legal parameters???

Well, that just won't do!!

andythejock01wrx

Go on Pete, "expand".

pslewis

OK, for the challenged ..... Subaru WOULD extract 500BHP and get 60mpg if they could - agree??

So, the only thing to get more mpg / more power is to either drink more fuel or to ignore emission regulations ......

You are plain daft if you think that a mapper on here knows more about mapping an Impreza than Subaru do themselves

THEREFORE, the mapper MUST do something that is NOT good for the engine OR ignore emission regulations OR not care about long term reliability ...... there is NO free lunch!!

It is painfully simple ..........

Understand now?

*must rise above being baited into another topic where pslewis is wrong.. *

All I'll say is, production tolerances.

and the difference between a vortex and blitz is? ...............................

bob r

Thats why there is a part 2.

andythejock01wrx

Or perhaps not all engines are identical, the same fuels aren't available around the world, so Subaru's (less expensive on mass production) generic map is not as good as custom map for that partictular vehicle ?

Prasius

iTrader: (1)

Your not possibly suggesting that every Impreza engine isn't balanced, blue-printed and hand built are you? And that the ECU map isn't programmed for each and every single engine individually? I'm shocked, I truely am.

Yep, just spotted that one
