Cruiser, 253 atw is very good if u consider that the FD is 255,265,280 bhp (depending on model) at the FLYWHEEL standard.
Kevins figures are impressive considering the limited mods he has done.
An early standard FD, should produce 205-210 bhp at the wheels as a bench mark figure

When stock I had 217rwhp (G-Force 2003) and a very erratic boost and power curve, with pfc and boost controller this was a smoother 215rwhp (CPL 2004) at less peak boost, Geff tried to raise boost a little but identified exhaust as bottleneck.

Back box, downpipe and tuning have added 38rwhp (c.45fwhp) which I am well pleased with.  The car feels a lot quicker and smoother.

Currently maxing at 85% injector duty and undecided whether to go for mid-pipe and another tuning session or whether that will just lead me down the slippery slope - uprated fuel, intercooler, intake etc. Will talk to Geff next time I am down at REworx.

you not tempted to upgrade the secondary injectors and fuel Pump Kevin and put the boost up to 13psi?
I bet your car would make 300 atw with those additinal mods

[kevint]

I\'m not sure, more boost = higher temps, won\'t I also need to look at uprated intercooler?

As I say I\'ll talk to Geff next time I see him as I\'ve always been happy with the work he has done on my car.

You will definately need to get new better IC if you want to run over 12psi.

Perfect Kevin, just perfect. Can\'t beat those rims. Where did you find them? I thought the Spirit Rs all had the gunmetal coloured rims? Learn something new every day!

[kevint]

I had them imported from Japan.  The Type-A has gun metal rims, the Type B & C the silver ones.

I see! I think i\'ve only seen pics of the \'A\', although i knew about the other two i wasn\'t aware they wore different shoes!

Thanks for the info, and congrats on getting a set - they must be extremely rare over here...you must be one happy bunny! :cool
