pushead - I took off all my intake piping which was suprisingly clean, and gave it a bit more of a clean.

I then cleaned my afm and then took off the thottle body and cleaned that. Out of the lot the throttle body looked the worse (thin layer of very thick oil around it).

After putting it all back i found a noticible difference in throttle response and felt like it came on boost a bit smoother.

It will only cost u 1 bottle of carby cleaner. Would be interesting to see before and afters on a dyno of doing this.

yes it does... it always does... no matter what mods, tyre pressure, clutches all come into play.... put a decent clutch in a stock car and u will probably chop almost half a second off the time.

I made 140rwkw at BMT.

Mods:

* 3"dump/front

* 3" cat back (crappy cat is still the bottleneck)

* Bleed valve set at 0.7 bar (~10psi)

* K&N Panel filter in stock air box.

* Pineapples (prolly wont affect a power reading)

I couldnt give a rats ass what rwkw I've got. I ran a 13.83 @ 101mph last weekend which is similar to others with 180+rwkw.

nigasnt is 100% correct, rwkw dont mean squat!

thanks for all your input ppl. I was wondering ok, instead of measuring in rwkw but 1/4 mile times, did anyone measured their 0-100km/s? if so what results? reason why i asked is most street drags are 0-100km times, please also note i do not encourage anyone to street drag, but im sure we all have done it some stage :P:)

i think bmt dyno is lower (someones already prolly said what im saying b ut i cbf reading the whole thread)

so is racepace's dyno, best way to find out is either test on anotehr dyno or simply ask the guys at BMT if that's the average power they have seen on cars with your mods, they'd know best :P

This dyno is way low for sure!!

RiggaP said he ran a 13.8 or something with a dyno result of 141rwkw... For your car to run high 13's you have to be pushing about 180rwkw plus..

I had my r31 dynoed at Goodguys in bayswater and got 160rwkw @ 12psi and I know my car is probably good for low to mid 14's..

Take it to the track, see what sorta MPH you get

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
