Yep, they only sell 95oct because our corrupt shower of absolute ba$tards in government tax the hell out of anything over 95oct, probably to line there own or banker friends pockets, pricks.
110 at the pumps, that would be sweet. I don't know how the guys in the US do it alot of places over there only supply 90-91oct, screw that.

Dan, you should know, us guys into tuning are never pleased, LOL, but overall i am happy with it, its a totally different car to drive, its still good for another 10-15bhp and when Bill comes out with this new TIP, it should be very interested.

I think i might shift the focus back onto handling mods again after the Hybrid if fully tuned.

Looking good, been following this thread for a while now, glad to see it all coming together :)

Have one quick question tho, the hose that comes from the top of the throttle body - how did you remove the other end of the OEM hose, the end that joins that pipe that runs to the back of the bay? Also, can you remember what internal diameter hose you used to replace it?

Hope you don't mind me asking :)

Hello,

Yeah this hose is a mother trucker to remove, I had to use a hack saw on the part that connects to the rear of the engine, I just could not get the steel clamp off so i sawed it. Also I just measured the hose i used to replace it, it was 8mm.


Thanks

True, i added *6 timing with WMI alone, if you could get a small bit more torque up top i am sure you could get an even bigger BHP figure.

Was this 3" TIP the missing link in the hybrid evolution??

277ftlb Ewww no thanks

My dyno reads torque lower than most other peoples..... so add a **** load more to coincide with others who think they have >300lbft from a basic remap, let alone the incredulous 350lbft from stock k04's some see on dyno's

you clearly have'nt been in a hybrid of this spec. K04 car same dyno makes 260bhp, this is +70bhp more than a k04 manages here.... Undeniable gain.

you know you want to.. :p

much like 285bhp from a stage 2 on k04... yea.. if you want to believe those numbers.. what ever makes you happy :)

Dan, listen...what you don't understand, Tom's and Ben's hybrid set up are crap, standard downpipe and exhaust manifold, let alone only mapped with Revo stage 2. Do the hybrid properly and it is worth it. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
