perhaps. Or the dyno you tested your car had adjusted its ramp rates etc....giving it an inflated read out figure. No two dynos are exactly the same readout ! My old Si pulled hard for what it was and beat many a SSS back in the day too. But it had a low kw @ the wheel and ultimately would not get any better

dyno's can read low too. lets not forget that. They're only a tuning tool at best.

The real world results is what counts. 1/4 times and comparisons to other cars in the real world is the best way. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Rock what ya got :cool:

Looks like you'd have to source the snail from elsewhere though

So will also need snail, pipes, radiator....what else?

havnt looked that much into it. im not that cluey with turbo setups either

For my D i've spent 100 for genie headers... a VAFC2 is the next point of call after the extractors are fitted as the tune will be of help and if i go b-series later i can still use the VAFC2 as my piggy back but most of my cash is being thrown at suspension

Smart thinking!

Can't go wrong with those genie headers for $100,great score!

what do you use in place of a VAFC when your car isnt VTEC?

SAFC? or is there something else?
