Yep, it's true, an honest to goodness 242 whp with 201 tq.

Where did it come from...the exhaust. Changed from the Stahl header and 3" back to the RMW header and exhaust.

 

10+ bump in torque. Very nice. Imagine how much you could have if Jan knew what he was doing.

 

Witchcraft I say! .

Glad you got home (Finally). It was cool hanging out after AMVIV, hopefully we'll see more of ya out here .

 

1-million?

 

Wow Nate! Very impressive indeed.

I had the pleasure of being there when the exhaust was being installed and I have to say that its a very very pretty system! Looks great and put together extremely well

From these charts its an amazing gain as well holy crap

Rob

 

I had the pleasure of driving it after the work was done and I can assure you, it's even more impressive from that angle!

 

Nice . It was great seeing you again Nate. I got your call for dinner but it was to late by then. Thanks for the invite though.

Have fun at the Dragon. I think I'm going to plan a trip there next year.

Great numbers Nate That is a nice improvement for just switching exhaust. I guess Jan is not as dumb as some may think

 

UNPOSSIBLE

THESE NUMBERS CAN'T BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FAKE

 

good job Nate!

 

Yes he is. Someone needs to teach him how to use that software.

 

Do you have RMW cam or non-stock intercooler?

What was ambient temp. at time of test?

Thanks

 

Cam is OEM MINI.

IC is GP

Mid 60's I think. The tune was preformed this past Tuesday, mid morning, in Wilmington CA. Not quite shorts weather but T shirt was comfy.

 

Nice going!! Your torque is really impressive. Has your car always been pretty strong for its level of mods? Did you "break it in" with a heavy foot? (really seat the rings well??)

 

I believe Nate is still on stock pistons.

LB

 

Affirmative .

 

some exaust "experts" will STFU about backpressure and learn that pulse velocity and scavaging is king! Too big is just that, too big.....

Matt

 

The bottom end is still OEM.

The car has NOT been strong all along. Jan and I have spent countless hours chasing demons on the dyno and before the exhaust swap I was not able to get above 180TQ and 230WHP. Once the Stahl header was pulled I knew exactly why we've been having issues. The flange was leaking at the #1 and #4 cylinders. Add to that the constant issues with gaskets breaking apart and leaking at the Flex/Cat joint. What I had been running was just to big for the car too. The Stahl was a 1 5/8" stepped to 1 3/4" primaries into cone tapering to 3" cat back. As Doc says above. Too big is just that, too big. BTW, the Stahl header is for sale, don't worry, it's been decked and checked to be sure it is 100% straight now.

 

Any sound clips with the Jans exhaust system fitted?


James

 

Congrats Nate did sound nice on the pull I heard while on the phone to Jan, how many miles you clocked now on that RMW head??

Good numbers on a stock cam as well.

I miss your track reports as well.

 

unpossible!!

 

24K on the head now. I wonder if thats the highest mileage RMW head out there so far.

3 Weekends in a row of track days Paul. Tomorrow is with Lamborghini Club, next weekend PCA and the following is a run what ya brung deal. I did write about my only other track day so far this year. Thinks keep getting in the way this year. Like I could have done 5 weekends in a row but I'll be going to the Dragon.

 

That torque curve ROCKS.

Yummy.

 

We're doing a track day with EVO magazine at the end of the month, cant wait to try the Cross's out and get some tution this time.

Danny is at 266.7whp and 200tq on the second pull


Nate.... you ready for W2Air now?
