woohoo..its up! okay..

this graph is not a power run but only a tune to 6000rpm, hence the kmph is only until 135

notice the slight dip at about 100kmph, thats the TVIS being activated, and really, should be activated before it started to dip, but that cant be controlled so I'll have to live with it unless I remove it altogether

the power increases again after this and really, quite constant throughout the run

the dip at the end is when the throttle is off, this is due to the oil blow-back explained earlier hence tuner stopped as soon as smok appeared

the last 1000rpm (6000-7000rpm) weren't tuned as well as could/should, but runs slightly rich for safety reasons

the torque graph is interesting, especially in the beginning with such an increase, otherwise, bar the dip from TVIS, it remains relatively flat.

the timing is funny! while many of the tuners car could run in the high 20 degrees's or early 30 degrees, mine was still conservative at 22 degrees (i think) he noticed pinging anymore than this, i DO run premium! hmmmm

Pod filter made a total of 4kw difference and has 2 cold air ducts, wlthough not enclosed or sealed (future mod)

personal experience: i havent had a chance to drive it much coz i only got it back yesterday and after a wash, only managed to get it to work and back. the 'back' trip was far more interesting its raining at the moment so i wont tempt the hills, which was my original plan!
the car seems to rev A LOT quicker. it doesnt seem to have more power or more torque but obviously it does so it must be just me. it really isnt hard to redline and again, revs very freely so i suppose thats good.

the induction noise is crazy (wwhhhsszzzzz), the acceleration noise from engine and exhaust is noticably lumpier but sounds fantastic, and the idle now sits at 1000-1100rpm!

down side: high idle!! and cold start needs a little more fine tuning. other than that, computer holds no problem at all and i was very happy with instal and tuning. again, i wish i could break the enviable tonne, but like i said, a similarly modified MR2 managed the same result and the readings are not 'final' and remain 'unadjusted'
to give an example of what i mean when i say unadjusted, a Skyline registered 180kw at this dyno, but owner/driver wasnt happy so brought it to another dyno workshop and happily registered around 250kw. THIS IS A HUGE JUMP and this particular workshop has been known to exagerate numbers. so again, I wont abuse your intelligence and bring my car there just so i can boast more than 100kw's from the dyno sheet.

if I can be of any help to anyone looking for ecu mods. dont hesitate to pm or email me

cheers
Jon

It wasn't a ST204 box as I was lead to believe, was actually a ST202 one - but the 'no frills' version. Apparently they came with an ordinary box, one with double synchros and another with the double synchros + LSD? The diff is noisy in my trans, so they're replacing it under warranty - not including labour unfortunately. I'm kinda over cars atm.

Yeh, I dont like the idea of letting the motor hang either. Apparently its ok with the crank pulley resting against the chassis?

I mounted my extinguisher in the boot, couldn't find a spot in the cabin - I'd be interested to see how you did it too jonchai!

edut: spellung! Also realised, jonchai has no interior!? Still want to see pictures tho!

berad wrote on Mon, 11 July 2005 20:36 i have the worst economy known to man so stop ur whinging lol... last tank i got 260k's out of a full tank yes a FULL TANK lol but yours is turboed, of course its gonna have worse economy, but yeah 260k's is pretty bad, unless you've been hammering it every chance you get.

YEP, there is only one way berad know how to drive his 162,
he puts a brick on the accelator pedal and just steers.
im quite surprised he gets 260km's to a tank.
