+1 no replacement for displacement

lightening the whole car.. cf boonet, fender, door, boot.. remove all seats and panel inside the cockpit.

replace acrylic on all glass..

should improve quite alot on pick up.

Can consider TB charge for 0.6bar.

==> get the low end tuned... if unichip cannot tune low end, change to GReddy E-manage Ultimate...

tune your VTC with unichip

tb charge to 0.6bar ?

do you mean tc?

gearing

learn to flat shift

really skinny tyres

hi all

had to dig up this thread because of recent developments

just installed a dc sports header 4-2-1 (catless)


result

car seems more sluggish from pickup all the way to gear 5..dont really feel torque-y anymore. what could be the reason??

i thought 4-2-1 was for low end.. unless im wrong?

Try fitting back your cat and see how it goes....your described engine setup isn't heavily modified in any way, mostly bolt-on parts, so you may not be pushing anywhere near the amount of power to actually benefit from running cat-less (or a test-pipe). Have you tried your hi-rev hi-RPM performance as compared to before this latest mod? If that is suffering as well then you may be running an overall piping size that is not really that suitable for your ride.

If you really prefer to run without a cat, try going for those hi-flow models from reputable brands. Either catless or hi-flow aftermarket cat will still fail inspection so it doesn't matter, but running catless the resultant exhaust smell is a dead giveaway for any experienced ROV officer.

If you don't wanna do any changes to your current setup, you can try fitting on an aftermarket ECU and have it tuned to "compensate" for this loss, although this isn't really the best way to go about it. Should fix the problem at the source, and not by adding things in haha!

hmm perhaps if i go k24 it will fully utilize the exhaust profile?

alternatively.. i was considering tc

Up to you, it's your wallet, and your choice of headaches when it comes to inspection time.....
