    Kpro in 3 days...What can I expect ??

    Dont worry about figures mate, usually gets in to a figure war, each dyno is different. You will realise how quick it is when you put it up against another car etc. Paul's a good mapper, but i know cars with more mods mapped by him, with lower power. Each engine is different, so you might just...

    Kpro in 3 days...What can I expect ??

    Im shocked at that result. Most cars with intake/header/exahust/kpro dont make that power. But to be honest figures are figures. Its how it feels at the end of the day. For me the Manifold give alot more torque than any other mod. Jay

    Engine management light on only at high speeds?

    You had problems with TDI South didnt you? As Simon and J30l say, it will be a knock, no major worry, but try not to abuse it until you get it checked out, will need a tweek.

    Kpro in 3 days...What can I expect ??

    If you change the manifold it release's alot of power, the last thing you want to do is get a KPRO, have it mapped, then go for a manifold and then re-map. I think its best to change the whole manifold, ive only ever used TODA on my DC5's as i was happy with them, but i think Spoon / Buddyclub...

    Kpro in 3 days...What can I expect ??

    Your standard manifold is going to be very very restrictive, you'll be down about 15 - 20hp compared to if you have a manifold.

    Engine rebuild advice

    Depends what you need to replace. If your bottom end is dead, then you might be best of going for a K24 bottom end then adding TODA A3 cams etc, car will be very torquey. Other option is you get a 2nd hand k20a motor, probs cheaper than re-build. All you need is breathing, mapping, cams...

    most powerfull na car on here ??

    I think it should be seperated abit, so people can read it clearly and see the difference between general mild N/A+ Cams to BC engine builds. ________________________________________________________________________ BC Engine Builds: BUDDYCLUB TA2009-305bhp 212.6ft/lb after a bit of tweeking...

    No you've had your fun with noise, take it off, the cars performance will suffer, especially with the hot summer days.

    Ep3 wheels

    Think that might be a stretch. are those wheels 6.5 or 7? think for 225's 7.5 is ideal. Give Julian a shout he will know.

    any one noticed with the rbc how many miles to the gallon?

    If you have had an RBC you need to re-map the KPRO, compared to your old map it will be well out. James i dont know how you do it, my last DC5 was just intake/mani/exhaust/kpro and all i was achieving was 240 max to a tank :oops: and mine was part throttle mapped very well too. I think like...

    bottom end failure!!!

    I think for 10mins flat out, im not suprised. Ihad my EVO flat out at gps 173 for mins, but knew if id kept on it could be disaster. Best of luck with the re-build.

    Fitting cams etc or 5psi Jackson Racing Supercharger

    Spot on! I think if Buddyclub just swapped there motors out for a supercharged k20 but kept the rest of the setup, i cant see how there would be any difference in times etc.

    front brake setup vs cost

    If your not geting any fade you only need OEM discs and a set of DS2500. I used these on track and can still brake really late, get briaded lines on and some better fluid. Once you start getting brake fade you know its time to upgrade, until then your just not driving it hard enough to warrent...

    Fitting cams etc or 5psi Jackson Racing Supercharger

    Before you decide what to do matey go out in both cars, and make sure there around what you want, because a S/C DC5 is very good as a road car. If your going cam setup then id recommend after mucho research when i was deciding. TODA A3 Cams and Springs, Toda High Comp Gasket (deffinatly no need...

    whats the best exhaust set up on the dc5 (opinions plz)

    20bhp with an intake? Where the test / link for this? Us this adding a Intake to a car loaded with cams, kpro etc, but OEM airbox? or something, becuase 20hp from an intake is unheard of even on Boosted cars! Mike i love you :D
