Hi Kev,
I think I've found a couple of extra neddies with some careful (and
cheap) tuning of the (mostly) stock exhaust. Fuel economy has
improved and the needle climbs the tacho much quicker in all gears.
Another thing you might like to try is to pull the restictor out of
the airbox. This is a black plastic tube that is pushed into the case
downstream of the air filter. Unscrew airbox from hose and the tube
just pulls out.
This won't give you a massive power rush but it reduces the airbox
retriction by 70% and sharpens throttle response.
So far, I've spent about $30 on the exhaust, nothing on the airbox,
and got an extra 70 - 80 km from a tank of fuel, and more torque
available down low when towing (6x4 trailer). Other than that, car is
stock with 33000 km on it.
Cheers,
Peter.
