Im guessing you have a front mount? Could get a bit more out of her with a proper tune from Steve at FC tuning. Got a lot out of mine with the standard internals. He knows his stuff and no that far from you (north london, enfield) Happy times are to come!

Welcome matey. Power looks a tad low for 1Bar to me. And heat range 6 plugs are too low as well. Heat range 7 as standard, and probably even 8 for 1 Bar.

You could expect about 320-330bhp with a remap and proper check over. I wouldn't bother with nitrous even though I love it. The spark plugs are far to hot. You definitely want to change them back to stock or possibly heat range 8 plugs (NGK nothing flash or £££££ needed)

Exactly the same as above really, power figures look a bit low for 1 bar (expect 280/300 area) and your plugs are wrong - 7 is standard, I ran 8 even on standard boost on my old pulsar and it was a lot happier.

Welcome to the club fella.

to be honest i thought the power was a little crap for the mods. No fmic at the moment. Kewl il get those plugs changed today. And il give FC tuning a ring see what he says thanx

 

[olliecast]

welcome buddy!!
get those plugs changed get car bonnet (on it)

Okay i'll get some standard plugs in tomorrow. I know it's been asked before but i saw different opinions in posts.. Is the gearbox and transfer box oil shared as in i can fill both through the gear box? Used 75/90 GL5.

 

[MORF114]

gearbox and transferbox oil are seperate mate check through the forum its been answered heaps of times, welcome to the forum.

 

[GTiR-Aholic]

lol i just woke up and realised, course they have to be seperate because of the oil seals round the shaft that goes into the transfer box lol (had a late working nite, brain wasn't functioning).
