Well done :D They mentioned the owner was from Australia too... good on them.

Not really into Kei's but with those 'bargain mods' how much power did it make?

its making 80ps at 0.9bar boost.end of next month ill be fitting a bigger turbo which will give me around 100ps at 0.9bar.tossing up wether to get forged pistons too so i can run around 1.4 bar boost.at the moment its got massive midrange torque and great throttle response,the bigger turbo will shift all the power to the top end.4500ish to 8000rpm. The mechanic did a really good job tuning the E-manage.very smooth and very good response.a lot of the other kei tuners just go for maximum power but the response is very bad.

Rezz - i think you might have misread the articles title.Its "batsugun" not bargain

lol yeah misread it... :happy: stupid mistake.

I'm wondering what that Suzuki Cappucino was running to hit 242km/h (can't remember who modified it)? I've heard someone getting 200+hp from an F6A... doesn't sound like much but I can only imagine what it would be like to drive.

the mechanic that did my car has an alto with 250ps at 12000rpm.he's just developed a forged crankshaft and hes gonna try for 300 ps from 760cc :happy:

most of the race prepped keis here get around 150-200ps from either the f6a or k6a.

If he can get 300ps thats gotta be up there as one of the most powerful F6A's yeah? Gotta remind people reading this thread that 760cc refers to engine capacity not injector size :happy:

thats what hes shooting for.hes using the old k6a.the newer one like the one in my car with individual coil packs doesnt seem as good for insane power levels.its better suited for street use,much wider spread of power but not so much topend. 250 is the absolute max he can get from 660cc so hes upping it to 760cc

its a year old.shakken in 2 years.the e-manage will be ok.one of his customers even got his car passed without a cat.they really dont care about keis here when it comes to regulations.it only costs 30 000yen for shakken but from what ive heard its around 100 000 yen for a normal car.i also dont have a cat but fingers crossed i wont have to put the cat back on.

Yeah shaken for my HCR32 was around 100,000yen. Ever driven a Honda Z? I know they look more like a mini 4WD, but Honda factory turbo does have a ring to it... I've never seen any modded examples around, just the odd one in traffic.

Like I said I've never really been into Kei's, even after 5+ years in Japan never really bothered to check them out... although I did borrow a friends AT Suzuki Wagon R RR (with BOV) for a couple of days lol... but this has been pretty interesting. Thanks for the insight :cheers:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
