Tuf-057 insisted we do the "2hole mod" on the barge, I kept saying yeah, yeah Tuffy Mcfluffy, my airbox has 2 holes in it already but he nagged and nagged until I agreed. VXSS346 bought along his old collection of adjusted airbox bits as did Panelman, Tuff and myself.
We sorted through the bits and found that the lower half of the airbox VXSS1764 brought with him had some huge holes in it 110mm & 90mm as well as a Monaro shroud with huge holes in it too and in the right places so we glued together his lower airbox shroud, my HSV Maf pipe and lid, Tuffy's connectors and we moved the temp sensor to the maf pipe. Took it for a run and it felt very nice...
Chev has had a little play with the barge, mainly because he can't help himself and must make everything better. he did sneak the output from around 178rwkw up to 199.7rwkw with a little tickle after a service or on a dyno day.
Today I went to visit Chev and Big Rob as he was tuning a Nissan 4x4 (355ci V8 mongrel)Off Road racer that he set up fo the Safari a few years back. I showed him the mod Tuffy had nagged me into, chuck it on he said so we did we also did a run on LPG just to see how it followed a PCM tickle, Chev also had a little play today too Can't help it. I will let the dyno sheets tell the story.
Note check out the torque difference.
