icon14.gif  4AGZE slow as... 66kws at fw slow. Tue, 21 December 2004 10:54 Go to next message
Mad

as you can expect i am not very happy.
was at dyno yesterday to test my car for the very first time, results not good.
66fwkws.

dont know of the problem as of yet, just wanted to raise this question incase some of you guys might have encountered a similar problems.

the mechanic side seems fine, i can hear the supercharger winds in so i know the charger is engaging, i have an 164mm pulley and aftermarket ecu the air/fuel .
but i am shocked at the low power of this baby.
i am to understand a stock standard map 4agze does atleast 85 - 90 kws at the front wheels.

nah i dont have the sheet as it was an incomplete dyno tune.

its an ae92 hatch.
running ae101 4agze with EMS ecu.
had the engine serviced as with the plugs.
also have a nevo 164mm pulley.

car has boost, 10 psi worth but only bring out 66kws at the front wheels.
cant explain why.

as for the compression, i just know that it had a compression test done on the block when i purchased the halfcut with 165 ?
i dont know what that number means.

had a hi-flow cat with 2.1/4 piping all the way back. but i have a feeling the exhaust is busted somewhere possibly the cat. but unsure going to check it out tomorrow
everything else pretty stock.

maybe the charger isn't working..
was the torque output over 150NM?

4AGE'S make around the 60kw-70kw mark
Mine makes about 65kw at top end due to retarding..

your timing could be alot out though. you say you've got an ecu
has it even been tuned yet? the base map would only be enough to make the car run.. not full power which takes 2-3hours on the dyno to get the timing/fuel right.

get it tuned/dynoed again else where for a second opinion. i believe its all in the tune.

with the exhaust thats not too much of a problem. ive had a stuffed cat and flexi pipe. drives the same with a complete new system just has better pickup.

Dude that sucks you should have at least 95fwkw. Hope you sort it out. Perhaps your ems is out of whack. Perhaps a tune is in order


Whats an incomplete dyno? Is there another local dyno you could try?

im pretty sure he had it tuned but im not sure to what extent cus i was too caught up about the 66kws thang.
i would think that he would've done that tuning thing before hand as he wouldnt try to revv the crap out of my car to get max power before that would he?

i mean he specialises in aftermarket ecu's and what not.
i trust he has done all he can do on the electronic side, but im still unsure fully. the only reason why im saying incomplete is im unsure, and cus his letting me go now cus he is closin for the holiday period so im assuming its unfinished.


so mikey93 you reckon its cus the ecu is untuned?
and is running so, i do have doubts now the more i think about it. but thought it was the exaust system as the manifold would glow red after a hard revv on the dyno and i hear its not supposed to.

i noted the torque around 209nm at max power 67kws going around 120kms or so.

but the car drives crap, it seems to bogg alot and is slow like no other i get overtaken on 1st gear.

Did the tuner hook up the electronic clutch to engage the supercharger? That'd be my guess ...

Which dyno was it tuned on, specifically?
Might be time for a new tuner....
Dale (10sec_rx7) from the twincam forums is located in castle hill and does some extremely good work, yet to hear a complaint about him at all. He's not a fan of EMS but is more than capable of tuning it for you. Unigroup engineering is also another alternative how ever I know of a few mixed results from them.

do you hafta hook up the electronic clutch?
the engine was taken str8 out of the halfcut and put straight in so there was no playing around with the charger and whatnot.
so everything was intact so im assuming the charge clutch was already connected in the halfcut?

i took out the cat to see if it was a block exhaust system but no changes just a hell of a noisy car that went no where.

yea, too bad these folks are all near or are on holiday i guess i hafta wait till after new years.
i got my car tuned at incar motorsport at smithfield.
not the best of names but a good bloke nevertheless.

im located near liverpool so if you guys can direct me to some one local it would be great.

thanks for the replies.

are u still runnin stock ecu

if not then the clutch need to be hooked up to an output on new ecu for the super charger

if u are runnin an older plug 4agze and stock ecu aswell then some wires get left behind in the front cut

well is the smc pin on the factory ecu connected to anything


is the ems just a piggy back

the ems should have an output to trigger the supercharger relay

why not use a Toymods Sponsor? such as Silverwater Automotive Services (SAS)?

THey recently did bigworm's RA23, and in my opinion are very trustworthy.

Obviously the car wasnt making enough power, and the dyno guys by the sound of it didnt even try to work out, or give you an explination why.

Yup, sounds like you need to go somewhere else.

Don't forget if you are a toymods member you'll also get the discount at SAS...

the first thing i would do is get the car dynoed somewhere else to get their opinion on the tune, if the car is running too rich u will loose power and if ur not runnin enough timing the power figures will be down also.

Re: 4AGZE slow as... 66kws at fw slow. Thu, 23 December 2004 10:54 Go to previous messageGo to next message
aahh i see boys.

i am planning to take it to another tuner.
most probably JEM but i will give SAS a call does anyone have SAS's number.

the only problem is now that its the holidays and peeps wanna take a 2 - 3 weeks break so i hafta wait which is ok cus i need to make money whilst.

my engine is running soley from the EMS unit.
and the supercharger does kick in you can feel the sudden surge but no go.

i do now feel that its the tuning as the car does not idle so great sometimes after a drive it just stalls for no reason when i pop it back in neutral.
the problems seems to be leaning more and more to the tuning.
but hopefully the supercharger is ok.

if std 4age's pull close to 65kw and you made 66 in a 4agze , then sounds to me that the charger isnt doing its thing.

i dont know how the chargers are set up on these but if theres a clutch to do with them then that most likely sounds like it isnt engaging.

i assume they are direct drive off of the crack so im guessing the thing would still boost up but its just not given it...

just a thought...like i said i havent dealt with the gze's.

Hope this helps.

Nathan


PS i too recomend JEM... always keen to chat and help.

If you can hear the SC whine then its engaging. Get a boost gauge on there and see what it is producing.
I would say either timing is way way way out, its running way lean, or you have a serious intake blockage.

If you are using the original map in the ems , it will be pretty dam rich , get it tuned.
