Lol.

Not sure If my Arse Dyno needs calibrating but the Extractors may well have freed up a little bit of response and midrange.

Sweet. SkyHatch aint no Snarling Beast but she's fun.

Got my rego sorted!

The 34 is officially ACT registered!

Man first time rego is expensive, it cost me $800 for 3 months because of stamp duty

Awesome!!! Well Done Mate.

Stamp duty sux. Unless the car only cost a Grand.

Does washing a week of filth of it count?

[Sinista32]

Sure does

[5hiv]

took off my intake manifold out for painting

was surprised that how clean it was

I think the engine was rebuild at some stage because the bolts on the engine mount has marks of spanners and the other little bits and pieces has marks of spanners

Time for more boost

How long is a piece of string?

Shouldn't be too long. Depends if it gets held up on random little stuff.

Chipped N13 ECU installed yesterday. (Tuned for port/polish and Camira cam)

Even with just Pod and Extractors I THINK??? it feels a wee bit Quicker.

[Anfanee]

mad haha

[D.I.Y. Mik]

A Camira cam? So a toyota cam fits in... cool Japanese.

I wonder... how easy would it be to find one in a wreck, and how cheap it would be.

I spose there may be other issues like lifters and bearings, whats the go, is it a thing people do?

[dontyellpl0x]

As far as I know the Camira was all GM. When discontinued the model was replaced by a Holden/Toyota hybrid thing though.

There was a model that had the same 1.8l as Rob's pulsar.

The 18le engine in the N13 is a GM family II engine. The leaded JD Camira 1.8 cam is the cam to have (Not the unleaded 1.8 variety).

Apparently it has the highest lift and longest duration of all the GM family II cams.

Dunno if I'll go there or not but it's interesting nonetheless.

I think it's kinda cool that the SkyHatch has a Holden engine and the SkyWagon has the Nissan engine that Holden used.

A n00b question incase someone knows...

As this ECU was apparently tuned for: Extractors, Freeflowing exhaust, Port n Polish and Cam to make it richer at higher RPM,

Having it installed with Pod and Extractors but stock cam and exhaust, No port n polish etc... Would this likely cause issues?

Should the timing be set differently etc? Would it be likely to run lean or rich? Detonation possible?

Learn me!

[zebra]

likely has more timing to compensate for the lost dynamic compression after fitting a larger cam.

but given its a kinder suprise tune id be erring on the side of nothing would have changed more than a couple of percent

[Got a Pulsar]

Cheers Zeb. Was kinda hoping you would reply.

So what do you reckon? Should I retard timing slightly or just have a play with it and see what works best and avoid audible ping?

I guess the Sensible thing to do would be Dyno/Wideband etc... but meh. Cheap Car is Cheap.
