Performance Mods and Stats (no OT chat)

This thread is to keep track of mods and performance numbers of members cars in a central repository. Each member is allowed only one post in this thread - if you need to change your details, edit your original post. Additional posts and off-topic chat will be deleted... And you don't want to know how that will end up.

Ideally it would be good if you could provide as much detail as possible, starting of course with model, year etc of your car, list relevant mods and follow with dyno results, quarter mile times etc. Also feel free to include a single dyno graph and a link to your Members Ride thread so people can easily click to see photos and further info on your car.

It has more than 220kw ATW from 4700rpm to 6000rpm, and more than 200kw from 4200rpm to about 6800rpm. The stock engine torque figure is 363nm, remember this is at the engine.

No Dyno Results as yet
Best 1/4 Mile - 13.93s @ 96.20 mph

Abandoned Mods:
HKS Panel filter in stock airbox (This performs better than the super power flow, but the stock airbox won't fit with the Pro Shop IIda throttle body elbow pipe. I would have kept it otherwise)

Cusco Type-II Front under brace (This only fits with standard downpipes - it also got badly gravel rashed after lowering the car!)

Mine's LCD Boost gauge (Electronic interferance/voltage fluctuations made the boost readings unreliable. It was an ebay item so it could've been knackered).

Innovate LC-1 Wideband sensor (An appaling product. Very sensitive to earthing interferance and nigh-on impossible to install satisfactorily - Just look at Innovate's forums, lots of unhappy users. On top of this my unit was from a faulty batch - each time the unit is power cycled it lost it's calibration data).

Hmmmm so many people have so much....but here is my list

1996 - Finess Green Legnum
Auto

Car came pretty stock standard but came with
Lowered suspension - Coilovers maybe

Things that I have done

600 x 300 x 75 FMIC
Hard Piping from turbos through to FMIC and to throttel body
8MR BOV
Metal Air intake piping with POD direct air intake surrounded with heat shield
Top Gun MAX ignition leads
APEXI SAFC 2 - not tuned
3 inch High Flow Metal Cat through to a 3 inch system

Last things I am looking at doing are
SAFC 2 Dyno tuned
Dump pipes
Probably a few other bits like brakes etc

Oh... here ya go (My lane results for 1/4 mile run are shown in Dark Green/Lower on the screen):

























j/k

I really didn't have a chance to get it down the 1/4 mile in a proper way... my best and only 1/4 run was 12.6@111 at around 1.3 bars with outside temp ~ 29C. Full weight, street tires, pump gas... bad start and shifts... Yeah and I drove after a work day straight to the DragStrip... just switched off A/C and music.

Best 0-100kph - 4.1 sec on winter tires... Maybe in a weeks time I will try again with C16 in the gas tank (1.6 bars and more agressive timing), mildly stripped interior and better launch/shiffting.
