I've had to tighten mine several times. Just my preference but I would drive around the issue until I could sort out the parts. I'd fit them myself and then get it tuned, thereby making the most of my tuning money so the hp per dollar ratio stays good. Yeh I hear you mate, but it's also sh*t on fuel think if a retune it now then hold off for a few months I'll get my money back on fuel saved lol, plus I feel very uneasy driving it after hearing it detonate the other night ☹️️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked those when I changed the oil feed line. They were all good surprisingly. @RJF6 when you say sh*t on fuel how bad is it? They're not known for they're fuel economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me thinking its in the tune its an argument that makes sense, I've heard the car ping (big time) and I'm guessing that at the times it feels flat its because the car has hit R&R before an audible knock, I started this topic (being a noob) to learn about the limits of the standard parts I'm still using so I could gain a little extra power, and thanks to your comments and the info on the forum I have completely changed approach on this.(Although still an absolute noob) now I'm thinking turn it back to a safer level and save some coin before reaching for more!! and here is the dyno graph!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the first tank I got about 500klms of 6th gear freeway driving from Sydney back home, second tank driving to and from work and a bit of a hoon on the weekend 320klms pretty poor I thought!! Car is telling me it's averaging 15 odd lt/100ks, and I hardly hit boost during the week is that considered bad for one of these? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 14.4l/100 I'd sacrifice a few km's per tank to gain 100+rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I've seen it was 13.5 on a cruise with these crazy kents through the bush. Might change my fuel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
