  1. From the APS marketing department 5 days ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You crack me up Brian!
  2. Hi all, Yes Brians correct that there's 1.2 metres of unnecssary intercooler ducting pipe in the Stage III APS cars and the the Intercooler Routing is terrible for its right above the HOTTEST PLACE of the whole engine bay ... the exhaust manifold!!! Why APS install such a great intercooler then heat the air charge mass up again with intercooler ducting routed right above the exhaust manifold is crazy ... there no method to the madness!! Nizpro's ducting is mounted not by mistake ... almost entirely mounted OUTSIDE the engine bay where the cooled charge air mass does'nt get reheated again. APS's intercooler with Nizpros ducting n intake manifold would be a wicked combo. Bit of mucking around to change the APS intercooler outlet end tank outlet up to the middle instead of the bottom. Food for thought
  3. POWERGLIDE?????????? Did the superior Getrag 6 speed get lost in the mail between here & Germany :lol:
  4. No, a digital camera is sufficient. Here's a picture of the T56 gearbox, clearly seen above the APS cat & exhaust. The picture was taken at the Brisbane show. Brian Hmmmm, Nice pic Brian ... if I'm not mistaken that looks like a Tremec T56 6 speed :lol: Whats a darn "TRUCK GEARBOX" doin in the APS Phase III+ ?????
  5. Hi all, Please don't get your noses out of joint ... I just find it so COMICAL of APS to belittle the Tremec T56 6 speed then fit one to their own car!!!!!!!!!!!! After passionately telling everone about the T5's CATERPILLAR D10 strength it's all of a sudden been VERY QUIETLY pensioned off!!!!!!! Don't take all Peter says as gospel you guys
  6. Hi all, Has anyone else heard that the APS car at the Holden/Ford car show recently in Brisbane was fitted with a gasp ... T56 Tremec 6 speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much for all the RHETORIC APS carried on with about the Getrag being far far superior. One wonders what made Peter chance his tune and fit such an inferior product as the T56 Tremec to his car. :blink Cheers
  7. No problem at all .............hope this info helps..........see I can actually speak about this from practical experience............which is more than you can............see action speaks louder than words. :lol: Regards Peter Hmmm interesting; thanks Peter, Just as a matter of CURIOSITY & general knowledge for all forum members " how many engines have you pieced together with your ACTUAL own 2 hands"?? You sound like your an expert when it comes to engine building and design Cheers :lol:
  8. Hey Peter, Thanks for the "only for SAFETY recommendation regarding upgrading the rods" and also reminding me the rods lasted the 10.98 second distance in the C&V car .... Very reassuring
  9. Sorry I must be confused, you are looking for an outside opinion on an unreleased product ?!?!? Does anybody have this option installed other than APS???? Hey Jteal, Maybe ... just maybe theres other tuners within Australia who would like to comment on APS 420 RWKW feat with claimed stock engine internals running on 98 RON fuels ... MAYBE THEY'VE ATTEMPTED THE SAME FEAT???? I'd like to know their thoughts ... NOT YOURS Is that ok with you Jteal Cheers
  10. Exactly what are you setting out to achieve? Suggest you take Trumpy's advice and ask APS and report back. On an aside we're still waiting for those dyno graphs you promised for the vct recalibration.............And how many extra rwkw's were released? Hey 3rdTurbo, Thanks for Trumpy's & your own advise re/calling APS :lol: If I'm trying to gain AN OUTSIDE OPINION OF A PRODUCT ... DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU "BUT" THE LAST THING I'D DO IS ASK THE MANUFACTURER!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again for your advise though ... much appreciated Cheers
  11. If you are that interested, call APS and discuss it with one of their people. Then report back here. Saves a lot of meaningless internet tripe. Hey Trumpy; Thanks for the advise on calling APS :lol: Be more interested in hearing FORDTECH'S opinion or Cam's opinion from Knox Ford ect ect ect Thanks again for the suggestion Cheers
  12. Hey Trumpy, Thanks for pointing out Peters reply to CNC's question ... I don't wish for Peter to reply but rather ASK OTHER PEOPLES opinions of the APS 420 RWKW feat with a stock standard engine running on 98 RON Fuel. Cheers
  13. hi all, Yes engine life would be umm interesting As for a Phase IV component adding 70+kw .... that's some component Everyone knows the block core shift with these engines is bad and rod integrity no better sooooooo a 400% increase of boost pressure = what Remember stock boost is 6PSI cheers
  14. Mate, become a Donating Member and you could read what people think of this sort of posting ... alot of people getting sick of the constant "my D!CK is bigger than yours" sort of arguments ... I am sure you have a great car ... as does APS ... please leave it at that ... I realise you don't believe them but it could be true ... Just trying to put some sanity back into this place Hi Jteal, Thanks for your concern also ... much appreciated! If you think I'm comparing pen*s sizes all well and good; for you need to stop being an true believer and question some of these claims. Yeah it might be possible to produce 420 RWKW with a stock XR6T engine on 98 RON fuel soooooooooooo you try it and get back to me Cheers
  15. Hey Cobra, Don't stress ... just asking other people of their opinion ... but thanks so much for your concern anyways :lol: Cheers
