You will start to 'hear' pinging at around '80 to 90'. 40+ isn't good. I try to tune my car to stay under 20 at any time 0 whilst under acceleration is prefferable.

jtir, I reckon you block the exhaust pipe and the airflow meter as well for good measure. For added performance block the door locks and the ash tray. Finally bock your own mouth and rear passage.

280rwhp with the standard turbo? My can of tuna is on that being more like 290hp at the engine. If you can run easy 12sec passes at the plex with street tyres then I'm wrong.

you can vent the stocker if you have a S-AFC or run a new ecu package. Otherwise the overfueling will cause poor idle and decelleration

The fuel pump pumps less volume of fuel the more the pressure is raised. So to squeeze every last drop from the std injectors then you need a very big pump to be sure of decent fuel supply. A bosch 044 would be the go and then you can get quite alot out of the std injectors.

mate you probably have left one of those hoses you unplugged from the solenoid 'open'. You need to have one of the hoses plugged with a screw. There should be only one line (in the middle the bleeder) between the intake pipe and actuator. The other hose you block off with a screw. It sounds like there is a vacume leak.

RS500, I won't tell people not to dream but, the 1bar figures assume 0% flow losses to your motor and ambient s.t.p. In the real world you would need more boost than 1bar to achieve the quoted figures let alone higher. It is better to expect less and be suprised with more. Try testing the theory in real life and be very dissapointed in every aspect of real performance. Building dyno daisy's is not my bag baby.

RS500, Sydneykid is talking about flywheel horsepower, given the usual losses from the drive train. 250kw@wheels Vs 420HP @ motor.

CRC 'So easy' is pretty good to clean them up.

No... we just love telling bulldust. If I had a dollar for every poor deluded sucker who claimed this or that power and for some unexplainable reason couldn't get a corresponding 1/4 time or for that matter beat other reputedly lesser powered vehicles in any manner of accelleration test. If in doubt..doubt some more.

$1500 will buy you a hiflow of the stocker with plain bearings. 250rwkw a goal? Why not just phototshop a std turbo dyno run and make it 350rwkw? Seriously what do you want the whole car to do? (a certain 1/4 time or time around your favorite circuit for example). This information can help determine the type of size that would best suit and whether the wheel should be back cut etc..

good stuff. The auto clutch unit I have is great and if you get good equipment ,like you obviously have, any back yard hero can install the flywheel & clutch assembly (except for getting the stupid ass gearbox back on). I'm sure PSI have done a great job. 281HP ... with the std turbo still?

Interesting... The colder air 'leaving' the intercooler is definately 'slower', kinetically, than the air traveling from turbo to intercooler. As such the shortest pipe needs to be the interccoler to plenum one. It is therfore at least being 'slowed' at an atomic level' as heat energy is taken out/lost from the system. I am not sure if the same principle can be applied to intercoolers but, in an exhaust situation, thermal shielding adn trapping the heat engery in the pipe increases substancially the speed of the exhaust gas exiting the engine. the paradox would be that hot air is faster to get from 'a' to 'b' and yet cold air is better for combustion. At some point there is less benifit from a colder intake charge then there is from keeping the air speed up. Don't know if this is right but, someone want to comment?

well unless the 2530 is not really a 2530, they flow less than 350HP @ motor.

I reckon that's definately a three ply extra soft peice of paper that dyno was printed on.

Miko, As long as those few contacts aren't those dodgy dicksmith and tandy boys. I need to flog some big ass mono and colour lasers (plenty of them to make 1st 1/4 target).Then again I'm sure they would find a way if your head office didn't have such crazy ideas about not letting them do that. Double the states revenue figures for this half (as against last year) and I'll make sure you go

Dude want to sell some printers for me? I haven't sold a thing since Feb.

*Full zorst (not real cheap but, very good for $$$). +20HP @ motor. *Bleeder valve set to 10psi * K&N panel filter in the std airbox (no defects and just as good as a partitioned pod filter for power). +5HP @ motor. * Remove the panel behind the stock intercooler for better air flow. * thermal cover the 'hot pipe' from the turbo to the intercooler. And wrap the new dump pipe in thermal tape. Yes there is a point to doing the dump pipe first even if it's a 3 inch dump into a 2.25 inch std pipe. You can always do the rest of the zorst later when you have the money.

It'll be very groovy I'm sure. I'm hoping to go in 2004 as well.

apparently the paper they use at that dyno is three-ply extra soft.

Always... Ping pong is a great game.

Contiki to where? Yeah the gold coast is good fun, we had the last conference over there a few months back. If I get my target I get to go back for the Lexmark Indy Car race and do all of the lead sponsor parties over the weekend. Since we are the Major sponsor (thanks for dropping the ball Honda) we have got the biggest marquee right on pit lane.

ping....

pong..
