Got it 2nd hand. But unsed for $400 off fb mate.
Also the grill isn’t a manta. It’s actually Custom from who ever painted it.

November 18, 2017 at 11:07 pm #25160You can see where it’s been cut and smoothed. It’s actually the bumper.

Posts: 535Are you planning on adding a coolant expansion tank for the cooler IC system like the guys in the US are doing to increase the total coolant volume?
November 20, 2017 at 9:33 pm #25184Are you planning on adding a coolant expansion tank for the cooler IC system like the guys in the US are doing to increase the total coolant volume?
ive got a 15L ice tank in the boot.
IMO the IC system is as good as it gets without going into the interchiller sort of setups. I done a fair wack of reasarch on what the yanks are using.
This is pretty much on part with some of the fastest.
Not to sound like a wanker lol

November 20, 2017 at 9:34 pm #25185Scored a bargain today. Some LSA headers and cats for $200
I’ll keep the cats for emissions and sell the headers for $200 lol
but i will have to buy 4x o2 sensors

Yeah the ice tank in the boot is the best option
Most of the yanks are fitting a tank in the engine bay, it increases coolant volume but is still subject to engine bay heat.

Sorry cava i’m a bit lost on this part but what is the reasons for it as I’ve only known cars to have two ,,,, I suppose you have to run cats

I went boot for simplicity. Funny you say that. One of the forums im on a guy does a lot of back to back testing. Trunk vs bay tank. There was no difference. Ambient heat didn’t effect it all that much.
I dont know why they do post and pre cat. It would be something ecu related.

Posts: 535Yes, later model run the 2 sets of O2 sensors to monitor catalytic converter performance.
Be interesting to see that comparison. I guess if you’re letting the vehicle cool down between runs it wouldn’t be much of an issue.

Posts: 535Depending on what PCM you run you might not need the 2nd set of O2 sensors behind the cats.
It is possible that the tuner will also be able to turn em off (again depending on the PCM) as I believe high flow cats can stuff up the readings and trigger a engine check light in the later model cars with the 2nd set of O2 sensors fitted and non standard cats/exhaust systems. Not that I’m recommending defeating a anti-pollution device

November 22, 2017 at 9:39 am #25206The factory cats purely for engineering. I also have 100cpi on the exhaust system.
