After having a new camshaft fitted last week ( 72 degree grind), today I had it dynoed. This involved a slight timing change and a tickle of the webers. Approx HP @ wheels was 175, give or take a few horsies. He took it up to 185 kph,@ almost 6000rpm and it was still pulling, f-k it was loud, but nice to listen to, that weber roar is a wicked note.

Car goes in for painting finally this week. 2 Pac "Bleached White" Chrysler colour apparently.

Being an ex Kiwi I may get the number plates "BLEACHED AS", been hinting ti wifey that they'd make a great Chrissy pressie.

I just kicked myself, I didn't even think about it. I was rushing too much this morn as I had an hour drive and had to be there for 8.30. It would've made a good vid as it took place at a warehousetype building that housed a private collecton of motor racing cars. Whilst most of the work was being performed I was sticky beaking at all the 1915-1930 something race cars. For example one had an 8 ltr 6 cylinder, one had a V8 spitfire engine( the aeroplane) All told there was about 15 pristine vintage racers. The dyno use to belong to the guy who did the tune for me, he sold his business about 7 years ago and the owner of these cars purchased Daryls dyno.The owner of these cars races regularly and has his own mechanic servicing these vehicles as per needed, or when they're about to go racing. They may not have liked the idea of me filming at his residence as it's not your typical dyno shop. Daryl also cut and adjusted all my spark plug leads to make them nice and tidy. Just had to pay the mechanic $50 and all was settled. I was stoked, but as Daryl pointed out , this was all included in the camshaft job which set me back $800. Cam $390, lash pads about $60 and the rest labour which I feel is still very reasonable as it's quality work from a very experienced person.

You get a torque figure too?

What are you calling a 72 degree grind Ricky?

Cheers, D

Hi D, I'm calling it a 72 because I was told my old cam was a 68 performance cam from nissan and now I have a 72 from Clive cams in the East.

Grind No 396

Lift@lobe in 331 ex 331

ADVERTISED TIMING:

Duaration: Exhaust open 288

Duration: Inlet opens 280

VALVE TIMING

Duration: Exhaust opens 252

Duration: Inlet opens 246

The Dyno run was more about getting the fuel mix/timing right. I really didn't even think about all those other things.Like I said it's not a Dyno shop where they give you a print out, it's a privately owned machine used for someones private collection of cars. Next time, as there will be a next time I'll ask for those figures. As Daryl pointed out , all my HP at the mo only comes from bolt on components and a small amount of match porting on the head, oh and of course it being bored to 3.0ltrs.Next year the head is in for some serious work as there was no problem with clearance with the new cam in place. The head hasn't been skimmed at all, it's still stock pretty much.So comp will be going up. Got to go to work now. Bye

Mmmmmmmm, there interesting figures.

Not common to use staggered inlet & exhaust on n/a motors here in Oz.

Very common in US on turbo L28's.

Mine isn't that big, but fairly considering I'm adding boost, all be it rather low @ under a bar.

Will be interested to see how it turns out & what figures it produces.

Cheers, D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
