240-250kw at the rear wheels MAZFIX Australia

Mazfix will finish my car by the end of the 1st week of October...
We - they have just put in a new petrol pump in as part of stage 2 as well as the extra injector.

The Turbo, light flywheel and counter weight, radiator upgrade, huge intercooler large oil coolers, custom exhaust, new computer, airbox, new clutch and so on... was put on earlier,.... Now we are waiting for the custom ceramic Apex seals to come in from the U.S. to finish up the bottom end after porting....

This car will be the fastest 8 in OZ ! Will supply all the relvant proof for all the none believers... when it comes to hand.

When I last drove it,... the power was violent (with no lag !) 219.8kw at the rear wheels.

And, that was before the double sized petrol pump.....and extra tuning that it's going to receive...

Cheers
db


Im just too excited - I had to start another thread re my car

What's the conversion rate for KW to hp? Like 1hp = .97xx kw?

Oh, and what PCM management are you using?

What are the oil coolers being used? And do they fit OEM, or are new brackets needed?

Thanks for the link. Looks like a nice kit and really nice HP gains too. They need to start exporting that turbo kit to the U.S. and even Japan.

I believe an extra oil cooler was added, since Australian spec comes with one oil cooler only.
