I'll just leave these here. 

 

Unfortunately I had to work when the tune was finalised, however Benny did do a baseline run for me when I was there. Made sure everything was safe, which it was and ran it up. 

 

It was 124fwkw when I took it to him. So this is the final result.

Sounds good, nice linear power. Should surprise a few other NA bois. 

10 points to me for guessing the range correctly. 

No points for the person who said 180 something kw lol

The video does the sound absolutely no justice at all! That intake sound was making my chest vibrate. Was probably the best moment I've had with my cars, seeing it being revved like it should on the dyno and being able to actually hear it only 3m away. 

 

The way the car drives now, it feels alot more powerful than the 132kw the dyno says... maybe I'm just butthurt from the final figure? ??

 

A 1/4 mile trap speed should clear up the power figure a little better anyhow ?

Why hurt? It's a 2L NA engine that's how many years old tech wise? 

I think over 130fwkw is very good given there are still 4 cyls being sold new right now that make less at the flywheel. 

Plus you know you can also put a small turbo on it later to really wake it up and make an easy 200fwkw, which would be an absolute hoot given the VVL head will mean bugger all lag on a T28 size turbo. 

Enjoy your hard work.

I was probably 'hoping' since my crank is only driving the alternator that it would free up another few kw. 

 

However the thing absolutely hammers. It isn't scary fast, obviously. However the power vs chassis is very well balanced. 

 

I do have another engine in the pipeline with alot more compression, larger cams, alot of head work etc etc. So we'll see how that progresses. 

 

I'll enjoy this over the next 9 - 12 months before I finish the other engine ?

Good.

Goal of what? 160-180? Still a lot for a 4cyl NA. Or are you adding a spooly boi. 

Goal of 150 - 160ish on Benchmark Solutions dyno I think would be somewhat realistic. Depending on a few factors, final compression ratio will dictate fuel I'll be running. Ultimately I'd prefer 98 for simplicity, however I'm not against the corn juice. 

 

I have alot of mates asking me, egging me on to go turbo, a few things hold me back there. 

Driveline is #1 these gearboxes are ordinary at best when it comes to turbo torque, there is a couple of bandaid fixes, although nothing I'm that interested in. 

 

Emissions is #2 I really wanted this to fly under the radar, hence N/A, slightly lowered, understated outside. When I add a FMIC, turbo choo choo's etc it makes it stand out a little more.

 

N/A screamer #3 it's a passion of mine too. I like the challenge of having no forced induction to rely on to make power, there is nothing quiet like the sound of an N/A car at 8k too.

 

I recently had a mate drive the N14, before it was tuned. He's all about forced induction. He said to me, this thing doesn't need a turbo man. It's so well balanced in power/weight and also the perfect mix of street/track setup. 

 

That came from a guy who turbos everything he owns and also before it was tuned, so no big revs.

There's your answer then! 

150-160, NA, at 8k, will be glorious

I really think so too! It won't be for a while. I plan on enjoying what I've got here, I'd like to do some track days in the new year and maybe a couple of runs down the 1/4 before Xmas. We shall see though ?

Have done 1000kms in total (untuned and tuned) since the engine went in, so wanted to do an oil/filter change too. Threw a spanner over a heap of things to double/triple check everything. It's all looking pretty good though! 

 

I'm just enjoying being able to drive it, honestly.

I get excited by na pulsars, what can i say ?

What times did you get at the strip tim?

I did a best of a 14.17 on this occasion. 

I believe a high 13 would be possible, taking into consideration:

- hot day

- fresh setup and not alot of opportunities to practice launching 

- not really setup for the drags

- a better driver, being fresh, I was pussy footing the launch a tad.

How many kebabs did you win?

I won zero kebabs as not hectic enough Uleh.

Any onboard? 

 

I've got some videos on the GoPro I haven't gone through yet. Although my wife came down with me and took a heap of videos which I'll upload today at some stage ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
