    • @KiwiCarLife
      @KiwiCarLife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CU2 is definitely more of a boat and thus would be harder to make quite as sporty as the CL9 because it's always got the weight disadvantage. But the K24Z3 engine is superior because it already has a 50deg vtc and more agressive cam so it's possible to make more power with fewer modifications. Also the stock CU2 gearbox has shorter gear ratios too...

No check engine light with reflash and defouler. But the header was touching my frame, I had to hammer it, not happy but it was only a small amount.

    you need to weld the PLM headers. I’ve watched a few vids on this header setup & if you don’t weld it, it tends to leak & sound super raspy.

      For some reason your last comment disappeared but yeah I've seen that video before. It literally sounds identical to mine. Similar level of rasp. Personally I'm fine with it. And tbh its not a great idea to weld the slip joint because it needs to allow some movement...

    Not trying to be that guy but i believe the correct term is Header not headers, now if it was a V6 you would then say headers. Any chance you can start doing dyno runs between mods to give people an idea of what to expect if they too go with these mods.

      Yeah true probably is header. Then again we don't say pant we say pants even though there's only one of them... I would do a dyno run between mods, however it's like $1000 per run over here. So a 0-100 time and or rolling race is a cheaper alternative
