3' stainless cat back tomorrow morning at 7:30, then off to get a tune by Adrian in the afternoon.
Using the following mods, the car is stupidly quick, and doesn't even feel like it's being pushed
- K20a2 tune by Adrian
- Toda headers
- Mugen Twin loop cat back (Which fouls on the chassis :( )
- Pod-on-a-pipe (Mugen Airbox doesn't fit any more:( )
Oh man, so keen to hear more about this Robi!
very interesting indeed
Can't go wrong with Adrian.Quote:

Adrian did get it to 160kw, but there was some slight pinging, so he put it back to 156kw tune. This is the reason I get him to do ALL my tuning... because he tunes the car to be driven, not to make power.
Also, as you can see from the torque curve, it makes the same torque across the entire power band... so while you drive it, there is no major spike in power, just nice and smooth.
So much win right there mate, excellent work! I'd be so proud of that. Must be a lot of fun to drive.Quote:

I am. And considering that I had a hand in part of the work, even if it was only cleaning parts, holding stuff or tightening bolts, I am proud of the fact that I can stand back, look at the car and say "I built that". It's very fun to drive. It's predictable, and you can put your foot down, in any gear, at any RPM, and it just pulls.Quote:

Awesome work man, love it. I think it deserves it's own thread! I want to see more!
There's no better feeling than doing the work yourself, that's for sure. It's satisfying as hell. I'm planning on doing this exact same swap except into an EG... Can only imagine how much fun it will be!
Keep it up mate, good to see it done and done properly :thumbsup:
keep your dc2 , its clean and still has that new feel. why downgrade to eg
