[ss ute 01]

well, finally got my ute booked in at 'Active Automotive' for extractors ( pacey tri-y's), high flow cats, otr and a maffless tune :banana: cant wait, i know for most of you guys with cams and FI setups lol it's probably not that exciting but i can't wait, going in on tuesday. currently all my ute has is a crappy soundin catback which drones like a motherf#cker so yeh hopefully it will sound an go a lot nicer when i get it back...can't wait :smilesandbanana:

[Evman]

Congrats mate be sure to keep us updated. The cats will definitely make a difference to the exhaust note :)

[ss ute 01]

[RAVENLS1]

my engine covers finally arrived to day so i fitted them then cut up and fitted the plastic radiator gaurd ( or whatever it's called ) to fit round my new otr. then i bought some pinch weld to neaten it all up, really happy with the result almost looks factory... engine bay could do with a bit of a clean lol

Glad to hear you are enjoying your newly found power mate. Just to add, with that style of OTR be careful not to tighten up the clamp around the throttle body overly tight. They can crack around the neck. Instead apply a little petroleum jelly or similar around the inside of the rubber sleeve and just nip it up so it is sealed but has a little bit of movement if you wiggle it...

[gezz]

wow ,that otr looks great ,well done mate what did it make on the dyno??

[VTV691]

Looks great mate, Eddy and the boys know their stuff at Actives:goodjob:

I bet it drives like new ;)

Only thing now is to wipe that dust and give it a bit of polish:lol:


And yeah what did it pull on the dyno mate?

[Nidz]

your not wrong i couldn't be happier with their work they really did a good.. it made 320.1 at the engine so through an auto i'm guessing around 230 ish at the wheels, it feels amazing to drive, i'd post my dyno printout for you's if my bloody camera wasn't playing up, and yeh lol definately needs a bit of a polish

It would have gone on some sort of Chassis dyno, so you should
have got a printout? Who told you 320 at the motor, would
have to pull the motor out to accurately predict that figure :)
Edit: Their you go, 320rwhp, so about 238rwkw.
