ofcourse, what else?! ah well, it's just a little windmill I've bought, but I think it will take some time before I'll get used to the wooden shoes, but hey it's an honest way to make the Galant collection in tip-top shape!
Just an update for everyone, our first prototypes have arrived and will be fitted up to a vehicle in the next two weeks. The photo on our website is a rough copy of our first design, which utilises slightly smaller pipe of a 2 3/4" diameter onto the stock exhaust.
Our second design, will utilise 3" diameter outlet, and will have a second flex pipe added into the front pipe for additional flex. We will by dynoing both designs on the dyno to compare differences and see the effect of the larger piping on the turbo wastegate settings for boost creep.
Once thats done, we will be organising a group buy for everyone. Starting to get quite excited about this.

Our test vehicle has arrived and the RPW R&D project has started on a complete stock auto Legnum. Below is a link to our main page with the results as we move through the vehicle.
Good news is that the haltech miniceptor unit is already up and running and exhaust work is next. Feel free to ask any questions you want about what we are doing.

Factory V5 engine? Tc-03's instead of TD-03s??you ozzie boys have been short changed..
This looks like a hell of an interesting project though! it is very cool to see some shop led development on the 6a13, outside of japan. I'll be keeping a keen eye out

Mitsiman,
Do we have an update on this? I am very interested in the downpipes if they're ready?
Cheers,
Mart.
Yeah, I'm holding off my LC-1 purchase and hence my Emanage programming in anticipation of this project!
Yes we had our first sample made and went to fit, but the manufacturers welded the rear pipe wrong, turned it 180 degrees out. I could have fixed it here, but I am insisting on having a completed working sample from our manufacturer to ensure quality control.
The new unit is due here sometime next week and then we will refit again. As I said to our local VR4 guy's, I am not prepared to rush this as I have spent too much money now, and plan on spending more and want to ensure that this is built 100% correctly, even if it means going through 2 or 3 more sample fitments. The one off's are no problem, but when we are mass producing these 30 at a time, I want to ensure that they are 100% correct.
I'd give you some rep for ethics but I can't
I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.
Thanks for the update Mitsiman, I am following your upgrades with huge interest and will be buying from you as soon as your kits are ready!
Keep us updated!
Cheers,
Mart.
I have asked on the Oz site and checked the RPW site but can't find what grade of stainless steel is being used. Can you let us know.
I will advise once the units are produced, what grade of stainless steel it is. Where doing our final fitment next week on our test car and then send our 100% confirmed sample back to manafacturer. Been taking a while which is frustrating but just doing the best we can.
Good to hear there is more progress Dave. Keep us and the lads over at ozvr4 in the loop mate!
Mitsiman, slightly off topic but when you first posted up this thread I had a look over your website at all the goodies you offer. One thing I came across (if I remember correctly) was a bit of news about you fitting an FTO Mivec head to a 6a13TT block. Now I can't find it on your website. How did it go and is the info still on your website?
No update for a while Phil

The Hybrid Mivec motor was never completed, and instead broken back down into a 6A13 Turbo block with forgies for future cusotmer, and the mivec gear sold off. Basically no one had hte money for a FTO for this radical a conversion.
I still want to part with $10k to get a mivec 2.5 dohc in the ST-R
