sorry guys i came early this morning at around 8:30 but didnt introduce myself as i was on delivery and had to go to croydon

just went past to get soemthing from sam and had the pleasure of seeing the 1600

hehe go the 1600 ;)

What I found most interesting was the power curve of my car compared to say cortide's car, which is dead stock. This fairly linear curve is no doubt due to the extractors - _turtle_'s car with the same extractors as mine (Coby) showed a similar curve. To actually see proof that spending money on my car gives real results is pretty satisfying - it's not all just for noise making purposes :)

All dyno results were taken in 4th gear (except for one of funkys runs).

Looking at my dyno sheet attached, is my car running too lean or too rich??? Yes i know i asked this about 3 times today already but i forgot!

Yours was too rich i think. i cant remember i think richer was lower.

It was good to see the comparisons.

Power graph

I hope you guys dont mind, this is the graph of the 5 cars for power. So you can see what greg means.

Mine (Blue) - Stock

Gregs and _turtle_ (red colors) - not so stock

from memory Dr_drift said that he tunes turbo cars to 0.8 but n/a's can run a little leaner, I think 0.9 was acceptable??

I don't like tuning turbo's leaner than 0.82 on full boost, but NA cars are under less stress and can run well a little leaner.... I would think 0.9 would be a bit lean for good power, but basically tune the N/A's wherever they make best power between 0.82 and 0.88

Doc.

Hey doc, would advancing the timing a few degrees make any difference?  

Ever since I had my timing belt replaced the car has not been the same, wonder if that could effect anything.

depends where it's at now??

depends where it's at now??

Not sure where the timings at now as i dunno how to rig up the timing gun to it as theres not spark plug leads, i remember someone else told me some other method but dunno.

Anyways its a good indication of how our cars are running, and for those totally stock cars they can compare again next time they have put an exhaust or something on.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
