Me too waiting and saving for the summer. Big clean + polish inside and out and nice deep service. At the moment she looks like I don't care,  but I do...

232BHP eh its the manifolds thats the v6's problem if it could have bigger manifolds i reckon serious bhp gains could be achieved it would also make way for Forced induction more air in = more air out  

That black Irmscher Catera is bloody stunning really clean and right up my street! i deffinatly would pay £8000 for that instead of an elite with 39k (Hope Lee Reads This!!!)

Lol, so all the UNI chip is doing is running richer at WOT!

[miniator]

hopefully in a years time shell see forced induction...plenty to do at the minute N/A wise....just wish i had the money!!

mark...what does WOT stand for?

[Omega6pot]

Good to see the old lady is making good power, i loved that car, If i didnt do 25k miles a year id never have sold her, i had a panel filter in it but it was an oiled one, it scrapped my airflow meter so make sure and get a dry one mate, bought another one there, but im going for diesel this time just for some kind of economy, still getting a diff tho for the necessary lol

al how are you big fella! im definitely in love mate, i can even live with the fuel economy, 240miles outta £40 isnt what im used to lol!
Dry panel it is, did it make a difference to her when you had the old oiled one in it?
Cant wait for the winter time....ive some plans in my head!

[Omega6pot]

I thought the note wasnt as deep when i had the oiled panel filter in, as if it was gettin too much air, thought it actually went better with just a standard item, CDA's are definately the rod, grahams one is goin alot better since he put that onto his,

i removed the middle boxes too, i've installed 'pass-trough' small ones. i didn't notice the power increase, got to check on rollers...

back from dyno...

. Power 225.1 BHP @ 6015,0 rpm, torque: 281,5 Nm @ 4941,0 rpm

. mods: mantzel type air resonator and middle boxes replaced with those shown above...

[going crazy]

What lovely cars...vow, when will my car look the same..

not bad at all, maybe a backbox like mine would like it a little more though with the powerbox i expected you to be higher than mine.
have to ask though, see all the sensors that plug into the old 1 into 2 piping after the airbox....what did you do with them all?

thanks very much

the backbox is Walker, i think it's ok

I'm not sure I understand you well, if you're talking about air temp. sensor and flowmeter, here you can see they're still there:


i only got rid of this valve:



The most important thing now is to isolate thermally the cone air filter from the engine - it has to take cold air from outside the car... This will give some more power for sure...

[miniator]

i would safely bet that the cone is problem mate! cheers for that picture though, i was wonder where the sensors went!
