Im interested to find out what modifications people have done to thier cars, and what Kw increases they were promised/looking for.

For example;
Performance Air Filters - Up to 3 Kw increase
Cold Air induction System - Up to 7 Kw Increase

Just wondering about the gains from chips, xorst's, bigger injectors, etc

I've got a chip in my EB2 and it makes a difference.. they say 20kw more power.. but wouldn't know how much really! sounds about right.. maybe 15kw

EFXR62

this is what i know..

Extractors + 2.5" system should give you a 20% increase in power. So, if fitted to an EF-AU Hp XR6, You *should* get from 164 kw's to around 190kw's.. Add a nice cold air induction system and maybe a bigger camshaft, and you might be looking at about 200kw's at the flywheel..

Though, 200kw's on a straight six does require those mods above which ain't cheap.

Extractors ~$500
Exhaust ~$600
Cam ~$800?? help me out here guys, i'm not sure of the cam..

Cold air unduction can be done yourself with a little knowhow :)

Good luck

-------------------------------------------------------------
After reading your post again for a second time, i realised you asked what people had done to THEIR OWN cars, and i haven't done the cam or extractors yet. I've only done the 2.5" exhaust system, with the extractors coming soon..

As for the cam, i'm not sure as i have the XR6 model already, which has a performance camshaft and bigger exhaust valves, so maybe just a nice cold air induction using the bonet scratches and some kind of sequential scoop..

I'm looking for 200kw's at the fly, but, i'm not the kind of person to get their car dyno'd.. if i'm happy with the drivability and responsiveness, i don't need to prove it by putting it on a machine that is only partly accurate anyway..

Cheers,

Exhaust and extractors will only give around 10% increase. I think the max you should expect from a pre-BA six is around 185kw without going to forced induction.

And if you pay that much for exhaust and extractors you should be getting a damn fancy exhaust and the best mirror finish extractors

If you get a decent exhaust and extractors fitted in a good place your probably looking around 15 to 20 kws @ the wheels. Depending on the car. Filters dont give you a lot of power but they are a good investment. Depending on the brand and style (panel or pod) it can give you around 2 to 5 max at the wheels. A good chip can give you some decent power and also economy. A chip works best on a car that has a couple of mods already. It can probably give you from around 6 to 20 kws at the wheels depending on the car and what mods have been done.

My Ef 6 cyl. has 150RWKW + more to come hopefully when i get some cash. :)))

What mods have you done to get 150RWKW?
I'd like to get that much out of mine

Would steer clear of off the shelf chips (powerchip and the like) a guy in the tickford club did a dyno run before and after the chip. The car produced more power WITHOUT the chip.

I also spoke to the guys at POWERCHIP as i was interested in powerchip gold....the guy could not provide me with a dyno chart of falcon they had tested the gold chip on...when asking how they verified this figure I was given no response and that was the last time I ever heard from them....wouldn waste my time IMO.

unless you get a chip that is programed in real time on the dyno (eg UNICHIP) dont bother.

SICk-EF-II do you have a mock dev kit to get that power? if not what mods have you done?

also those of you with generic off the shelf chips, how have you verified increased output....on a dyno/down the 1/4 or just by what the car 'feels' like......
