B4110 Project

[DM3]

yea hopefully 1 day we meet up, normally i go down pj for short trip like coming weekend.
very rush this trip.

wah go to small car? polo? its nice rocket car ,but the ckd polo sedan n passat comin soon.
as usual stupid gvt are controlling prices to protect other car makers. damn crap.

Just did exhaust at Kaki Exhaust, now have complete 4 - 2 - 1 Extractor with new mid section and muffler. Oklah, car feels lighter. Looking for a set of cams to complete everything and move on to the body work mods. Then sell the car. Ha Ha.

 

[stix]

wonder if the 4b11 cams have a more higher timing than our 4b10.if yes then theoretically it should be plug and play?

 

[Sylver]

Hi bro James, how's the car performance after the extractor mod? stayed with single muffler or double pipes like the Evo?

 

[DM3]

james,

wah do up here and there and sell it so soon?
dont la must TT some time together :P

 

[jamesweh]

Single Muffler: But exhaust note, very boomy: May have to tear out the OE 2nd mid muffler and put in another bigger muffler: I will dyno soon. Matspeed has a regrinded cam for B410, it cost RM1800 including installation: Tuning is via open source.
Lets put in a good body kit and maybe the image will be transformed.
I will be putting in my 18" back: Front Conti;s now at 50%

 

[DM3]

yeah 18" nice ,the stock tyres really cant take it

 

[mydvdrom]

totally agree that brakes should be the first upgrade to be done on any car! safety first. getting steel braided hoses will tighten up the braking but best to include a good set of pads. james, have you tried getting the hoses and better pads before changing to the 4pots now?

 

[jamesweh]

Another alternative is to buy the 350mm Tar Ox upgrade disc from Speedworks. But steel braided hoses is a must. Will eliminate spungyness.

james, where and how to get the open source reflashing prog? i m thinking of a remap but A12 costs RM1999. sheesh. i m using 1.8CVT. how effective is the reflash on it?

 

[DM3]

mydvdrom,

so far we know of remap for 2.0 and the MT and somehow had good results fro the MT as on wheel can get up to 117 with knn filter and stock /before remap the 2.0 is already lower than the MT due to alot of losses of power through cvt about 101hp.

 

[mydvdrom]

i m a bit concerned on FC if remap. adverts all say this lah that lah. i m hoping for a balanced increase in power and fuel economy. better throttle response will be greatly appreciated too. lolz. can james' open source do all that?

 

[jamesweh]

Honestly, unless you have the necessary hardware upgrades like Extractors, mid and rear section, intake upgrades etc. You are looking at a small gain of 5 - 10 HP which has hardly any butt feel. My suggestion: Stay away from performance upgrades of a CVT, instead concentrate on Rims and Bodykits.

 

[DM3]

ya cvt are not meant for any heavy performance mods, some of owners already faced cvt heat warning after mod midpipes/remap/extractor

 

[mydvdrom]

hahaha. well, i do plan to work on the intake and extractor with cat delete first. not gonna go for high lvl mod here as its a CVT! juz want some added power without sacrificing FC. feel the throttle response is a bit slow and sluggish. maybe with a decent intake and extractor it will be better.

anyone know where to get apexi power intake and pipings? the one's advertised online are 100% fakes. lolz

 

[jamesweh]

I have a Universal APEXI genuine product ( I won in a lucky draw) : I could buy a ram kit available for RM200+ and connect the Universal Apexi Intake Fillter. But I think it would actually reduce the performance, I have a drop in Simota Air Filter using the stock cold box. Too me, this is a safer bet as any increase in intake temperature has an effect on charge air. The hotter the intake the lower is the pressure. I intend to retune the car as after fitting in the exhaust system, my car is now too lean.. I have some pinking when I engage second gear in low speeds.
If you are interested to see my tuner retuning my car: You can call me at 0123882389
I will probably get it done next week.

 

[mydvdrom]

theres 2 ways for me to do the air intake:

1. straight away go for air ram with open pod like apexi power intake and heatshield (must have heatshield) but it will take time and be expensive. heatshield i plan to make myself out of aluminium sheets and plastic corrugated sheets and will take time and can do only after installing air ram and pod. unless spend more money go buy hotbits ready made heat shield.

2. get drop in filter like K&N or Simota first.

either way, i m too big a fan for open pods but proper heatshielding is important or will have bad effect. maybe i will juz drop in first and mod further after warranty ends. lolz.

 

[DM3]

some of them opt for knn drop in with ralliart snorkels

 

[mydvdrom]

bro DM3 can u elaborate abit on them snorkels u mentioned? not familiar with this item.

oh its jus a bigger nose for more air intake to the filter box.
