Did you get the bonnet with the sale? Are you going to try and match the paint or paint the whole car again?

How much more power Mike? Did you do back to back dyno testing of an aus spec ECIMulti vs Cyclone?
I've been scouring the net for the last week looking for info to see if anyone has done any comparative dyno testing. I was thinking to do it myself but I cbf taking that chunky ass Cyclone off. If you have some dyno results with only the manifold changed between runs that would be epic..!
I was going to swap mine out for an aus spec manifold but I think I'll try tinkering with the Cyclone before discarding it. I prefer low rpm response over high rpm peaks.
Mike, what do you think the best way of switching it would be? RPM vs MAP? Using the stock vacuum actuator, you can set it to whatever RPM you wish. Ultimately I think the best way would be to do two dyno runs with the runners fully opened and closed, and base the switchover point to where the torque curves cross over.
Though by the same token, if using a wastegate actuator, the runners will be switched over only once positive pressure has built up in the manifold, and you'd assume that once forced induction comes into play, a long high velocity air route wouldn't really play much of a part in volumetric efficiency and the higher spring tension and/or options to use a flow control valve would offer progressive transition of the butterfly valves?
Opinions? I'm leaning towards the former, you can't argue with results, but it would be nice to hear from people that have more experience with them.
Also Dre I believe the gaskets are steel. Nigel pulled one apart the other day and said so.
Here you go. The bloke reckons there was a lot in it - http://www.dsmtuners...-ported.302154/
EDIT: Sorry to hijack the thread, but I thought you might benefit from knowing too Dre. Otherwise, feel free to PM me Mike - cheers!

Hey folks,
A few of us 4G guys getting together for a Xmas sausage sizzle at Somerset Dam this Saturday the 12th.
Meet point is BP truck stop Archerfield, 166 Boundary Road @ 9AM.
4GT members are welcome.

I get what ya mean by 'doing it while ya there' or 'while its apart' - thinks its called "getting old" lol
Keep at it man cos it'll be worth it when ya get reacquainted with the boost
All mine needed was new brake pads in January. It has since been put up on stands and pulled apart, now waiting on new manifold/turbo/dump, bigger brakes, some of these brace things, suspension, LSD, various bushes, 4WS delete, intercooler etc etc.. So I bought another VR4 to get around in. Lol

evo_zro couldn't connect the other day after we installed ECMlink. Used my cable and it worked.

It is the OBD to USB comms cable which is necessary if you plan to make any changes to the memory (i.e use it for what it was intended). You need it if you don't already have one Lars.
Nice job Ben! The interior is looking much better.
When are you going to put that 60mm turbo on?
