Just and update
Hey fellas, its been a while since I last posted.
A few things have been taking a lot of my time, but I have made some improvements on the car which has netted some surprising results.
I recently ditched the plastic elbow between the TB and the s/c in lieu of a mandrel bent pipe with silicone joiners and some professional hose clamps. This helped seal the TB off some what as I was losing boost somewhere. I gained about 0.5lb of lost boost and instantly felt the difference.
some time went by, and I was in the process of doing more until I found out my house was struck with termites.
So in the past 4weeks we have been frantically rebuilding part of the house so we can move back in. Alot of our savings had to go into the house as our insurance didnt cover us for termite damage. *note to home owners - CHECK YOUR POLICY*
So in spite of having this potentially finance crippling disaster, I was still able to have a small win just yesterday.
Thanks to Peuty for helping me out with the ebay purchase of a new Delco coil pack, I needed to replace my old one as the car was becoming increasingly difficult to start when hot. I ended up getting this off ebay for what I would regard as pretty cheap.
I also noticed that there was a black plastic plate that sits between the TB and the ISC that is used for LPG reasons. This I reckon was also contributing to boost loss as it was directly connected to a one way valve in the rocker cover for vacuum reasons. A one way valve is ok for NA applications, but for boosted applications I believe it leaked up to 0.5lbs. This was just a theory of mine.
I booked my car in with Bruce Heinrich about 3 weeks ago to get him to:
1. remove the black plastic plate between the TB & ISC
2. block off any leakages around the TB and ISC
3. fit the new coil,
4. install a valet tune to my flash tuner
5. retune the car and add more timing/fine tuning.
This all happened yesterday.
The results? They are VERY suprising by my standards. Im not willing to post up numbers just yet, but I will say that Im extremely impressed with Bruce's abilities to safely wring out extra grunt in an otherwise stock engine, and all in standard dyno settings. (i.e. not shootout mode)
After this weekends dyno day on Sunday at Towler performance, I will post up the NEW dyno power readout.
But to explain the changes made, there is heaps more throttle response, more torque across the rev range but mainly from mid to upper rev range. The car just wants to pull even harder. Torque readings I forgot to ask Bruce about, but I would certainly say they have increased to well over 500Nm at the engine. (previously was at about 480ish NM). The engine is running smoother, starting is almost instant. But I reckon I could be getting some injector leak if only minor.
All in all, Im massively excited and impressed with that has happened. Plus I didnt have to pay thru the nose to get it done per KW extra.
Possible future plans according to what is recommended by Bruce are:
* Intercooling. still deciding between WTA or ATA.
* Cam change
* Pulley change on the s/c to increase boost.
Dont forget, Im getting this great increase with a auto slushbox. Heaven knows how much extra Id gain IF I did a manual conversion.
POWER FIGURES AND DYNO PRINTOUT TO COME.
supercharged hey ?? 
Nice
