Yet another big thanks to APT!!

Post by V8_EATR »

I went into APT Wednesday for a full brake swap, cam gear change and timing belt change. Gary noticed that the timing was wrong on my engine when he was changing the timing belt and decided to pull the rocker covers off to see what the deal was. In the end, he found that my timing was off a full 25 degrees :o :o :o He then sorted that issue and now my car sounds, well, like a new car!! :-D :-D :-D :-D Gary recommended that the car stay with them to see whether or not the car would need to be remapped. I could trust no one else with that car except them! Next thing to do is to see what she pulls on the dyno today! 8)

I didn't forget about the teamwork on the brakes either! Chris noticed that I didn't have the mount bolts for the front Brembo's, so while Chris continued with the rears, Gary dashes off somewhere and sure enough has for brand new mount bolts for my front Brembo's!! Great work on the brakes guys, top job!

All in all, it was great to see professionals at work Wednesday and the tea wasn't bad either :lol:

Words cannot express my gratitude towards the team up at APT!

Thanks guys!!! :-D

Results from the dyno are that now I'm pushing 545... on low boost (1.4bar)! Also the graph showed that I gained an extra 500 RPM early the entire way up! So not only is it a lot more powerful, I'm feeling it a hell of a lot earlier! He couldn't go any higher as the injectors and AFM's were maxed out though. So now I'm looking for 750-800cc injectors, Nismo AFM's and possibly a Tomei 276 Fuel pump, then a remap from Gary of course! :-D Onwards and upwards!
