jake1829 119 Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Ok, I've booked a dyno for next Friday am with Ross, so will let you know. Probably need to do the intake also but will look to add that maybe when I do the DP - you recon BMS intake is as good as any? What's the intake supposed to add in terms of HP? From what i have read/seen - intakes could be up to maybe 15HP - BMS DCI's are like $110 US , other kits are like $500 US+ - cold air intake systems may be better option in a climate where its hot and humid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradsteelcock@gmail.com 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2013 Quick question...what fuel you using? I put the Cobb Stage 1 Aggressive on yesterday and performance is awesome. Big diff. Worried about fuel and timing corrections now with boost getting up to 18psi at start of WOT. Will data log and send to Cobb - think it's all ok and can't hear anything bad...but need to make sure I'm on best fuel. There's a lot of miss info on what to use...BP Ultimate is only MAX 98 whereas Gull F10 is better and is it E85...bit confusing...do you (or anyone else) know what's what here?

The F10 is an E10 98 octane fuel (so 10% Ethanol and 90% Petroleum)I believe that still the only place you can get E85 at pump in NZ is in Hamilton and is the Force Pro.

Am using BP Ultimate 98 Ya, car's a lot of fun once running a tune When i looked for e85 options, the only place that is in auckland for e85(Gull Force Pro) is Gull Pukekohe Gull Force 10 is 95 + 10% ethanol from the datasheet, if i was going to run ethanol - imo would only do it if it was e85 and widely available in auckland due to your consumption is higher when running ethanol blends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Just ordered an intercooler so I can also do the Stage 1+ , VR speed factory also have some well priced down pipes. Just after I ordered my cobb they released the V3 so bummed Which intercooler did you get? did you end up buying downpipes? i saw a thread where Cobb is doing a upgrade path - you can send your old cobb to them and pay a upgrade fee to get the V3 version Was at bmworkshop yesterday getting some new dyno baselines before the downpipes & exhaust were installed Current mods on: FMIC, Bov, OCC, DCI, 20inch wheels & tyres Run@factory map - 238HP....i was like..i lost HP - 253HP was the measure before then realized they with the new 20inch wheels, not the factory 19's when i did the initial baseline Run@OFT Map1 - 316HP - afr/boost/torque numbers looked good Will post the graphs once i get them emailed , will be interesting to see the dyno difference with catless downpipes/exhaust Edited September 17, 2013 by jake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jake1829 119 Report post Posted September 18, 2013 I went with the VR speed 7" Intercooler which is due to leave shortly. Haven't ordered down pipes yet as I am supposed to being using my money for a honeymoon. But when I do i will go with vr speed again and I am keen in the injen air intake. Do you have an oil cooler? Yes, just the factory oil cooler Saw this drive down great south road near Penrose few weeks ago. Looking good on the Vossens ty was down there to see chris@autoquip about the KW V3 coilovers, hopefully getting them installed this week if they don't run out of time at bmworkshop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HaNs 226 Report post Posted September 18, 2013 Any of you guys got a factory intake for your 335's you want to sell, customer is after one as the previous owner put pod filters on it and a JB4(horrible thing, was blocking OBD fault codes and the car wasnt happy). All fixed now with a proper remap. Just need to find him a OEM intake system! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradsteelcock@gmail.com 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2013 Yeah likewise. Dyno went pretty well I think. For a Cobb stage 1 + FMIC I got 310 RWHP. And 450 ft/lb at @2400 rpm. So pretty happy. Just looking at those VRSF downpipes - look nice and well priced! can also get them coated. So probably do that in next few days. May look at just getting the mid cats taken out and replaced with resonators...after speaking with Dan at Adrenaline R. Pretty cost effective as he recons stock pipes are a good size. Thanks for heaps up Matt 0 on the downpipes! How'd the skid go? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jake1829 119 Report post Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Had the downpipes, exhaust, and KW V3 coilovers installed Will edit thread when i get the pics and dyno runs OFT Map1 @ 342HP Running logs from some 3rd-4gear runs and it looks like i'm leaking boost somewhere - back @bmworkshop on Monday for a smoke test to find the leak and get some runs done so i can get a new customised map for my setup before next Saturday dyno run Edited October 5, 2013 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a inline walbro pump on it's way so i can run e85 - will be quite interested to see the comparison - only worrying thing at the moment is the torque on the AT transmission ~ 640 Nm Edit****** Looks like around 550wtq is the so called "safe" limit on the alpina flashed AT , - which is about 745 Nm Edited November 22, 2013 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
