My dad's AU VCT 5 Speed has pacemaker 4499's, they seem to work well, but we can't really comment because they were on the car when he bought it. I have some 4480's in the garage that will be going on my EB in the next week or so, will I let you know how they go.

Had the Hurricanes in the V8 - no good the car had absolutely no bottom end power and it would not idle properly when hot - always hunting between 500 - 1200rpm with and with out the air con on and drone to the max at low speed ie:60kmh in 4th
Put new O2 sensors in even as there was no codes logged at all , reset the ecu - no difference and the fuel econ was shite went from about 450kms per tank to 300 kms per tank and the pipes were as black as night and there was black fuel dust on the back of the car.
Left these on for 3 weeks then put the Tickfords ones back on, thank god I did not toss them out totally differnt car - back to normal
I might try pace makers next.
The only mods I did before hand was twin 2.5 with X pipe exh , K&N filter and a SS CAI and I always reset the ecu after any tinker

Resetting the ECU after every mod, is that a good idea, or will it re-learn any mod made?

It should re-learn by itself but I am an impatient bugger
i have heard to disconnect the battery for about 1/2 hour after you have a fiddle.

If anyone is interested, I have a set of month old Pacemaker 4480's for sale. I believe the market value is around $ 460, best offer can have them!

mik · 17-05-2005, 01:10 AM

probably is a bit big, but thinking of goin the turbo way down the track,also already had bit of 3 inch around from another project, think it should be ok but needs a resonator, have you guys seen how small the outlet is at the flange after the cat on au xr6 series 2 very crappy , you might be right Tornado well see how it goes, the tailpipe section came out really good, full marks little bro

I just wanna check one thing regarding the 4480 headers and my car before I do anything. Otherwise, they'd be gone.

Try the difilippo stainless 4 into 1's, people bag them because they are too big and you lose too much bottom end torque, but thats a load of shit...
I have had them on my ute for a few years now, and have not lost any torque whatso ever, the thing peels the tyres at idle.. :evilsasmo

I beg to differ phil - the pacemakers are far and away the best option for the windsor.

Use a try y 1 5/8 pacemaker and save yourself some pain.

Phil, the reason why you aren't running 14.50's is because of the pipes. Im not basing this one one car, but the many i have modded.

lol, mate, i think different, the reason im not running 14.5's is that its hard to launch the thing hard, it wheelspins to 60 ft mark very easily...
the car is making plenty hp, enough to run 14.5's, but its just a mater of getting that run together...
A trip to calder with a tight diff and some decent tyres should see this quite easily, as it has already run 95mph before this round of mods.

You will lose 2-3mph when u hook up

Phil, phil, phil the car will make more torque and horsepower everywhere bud with the pacemakers. I use difillipo pipes on cars, and have no issue with the product, but those 4-1 on the windsors dont work. Ive done more of these than i can care to remember mate. whether its 347 stroker, 5.0, TFS heads of GT40's, from 150rwkw to 280rwkw, we have tried all the pipes.

You haven't tried the pacemakers on your car, if you did u will know what im talking about.

So which ones would you recomend for my 347 stroker ?
T3 TE50 stock auto

Pacemaker Try-Y(PH4001) / Hurricane Try-Y

What are the differences between them ?

**Chris** · 17-05-2005, 04:50 PM

Tornado, PM noddy, ive been through this issue time and time again, I shouted Noddy a set of pacemakers. Noddy will tell you how good the paceys are. Steer clear of the liverpool pipes.

Phil, phil, phil, ive driven your car mate, remember?? it wasn't earth shattering, it needs try y's.
