How much did you pay for the Nizpro kit? I know it ain't cheap, maybe if they mass produced more the price would come down a bit and more ppl would buy it?I also hate the fact the pipes are a mile long. I have always believed that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line... intake box close to turbo, outlet straight ahead to intercooler, other side of cooler straight up into front of plenum... it makes so much more sense that crossing over the bloody engine TWICE, picking up more heat on the way past.If I had the dosh I would do it... instead of squeazing every little bit out of an edit tune I like to have a bit more head room!

Hi there Mr Turbo Your 1/4 mile time in your sig.... was that with the setup shown here...Or was it with the full intake plumbing?tom(aka tubby/68vet and other expletives removed by mods!)

Hi there Mr Turbo Your 1/4 mile time in your sig.... was that with the setup shown here...Or was it with the full intake plumbing?tom(aka tubby/68vet and other expletives removed by mods!)Hey Tom,The 11.5 1/4 time was with the Ford stock setup, plumbing and standard Intercooler. No one has come close to this time yet with the standard setup. I'd love to see what it can do now, low 11's or maybe a high 10. But the big gamble is stock internals. Might be the first T to run 10's with standard internals, if they hold up Rob...

(Who is is made by)Its a custom made plenum made by OMF Motorsport in Melbourne, One door down from G&D Performance in Cranbourne. They did the whole setup all at once and then tuned by HPF. Rob Vickery at HPF said that this setup is good for well over 400rwkw which will suit me fine OMF Motorsport John - 0402 029 227 (owner)Rob - 0419 391 258
Guest FatBAt Guests Posted 07/12/05 11:44 PM Posted 07/12/05 11:44 PM I'm sure replacing the factory inlet manifolding has a benefit, but at what point? I've just squeezed out 330rwkw with the stock manifolding, with probably another 20rwkw to come.Anyone care to comment?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think shortening the plumbing adds exrta KW's. I can see that it would reduce turbo lag (well the little amount we suffer from anyways). This in turn would increase say your 60' times. Over 400m.....not so much. Again correct me if I'm wrong.Cheers

Thus spooling quicker and turning over turbo over slower for target boost (even if it is tuned to the same boost level).There was a photo of a standed engine showing this somewhere, from a Ford display I thinK? hmmm I'll look.BK Edited 08/12/05 12:04 AM by bkofoed
