and i will be guessing that yes it will be most likely be quickest na fto on the drag strip anyway
yeah exactly.. Suspension is one full days work as well. The tuning part is going to be tricky since we were only given to put these cams at stock spec and advance/retard them from tthere so its going to be a tricky tune!

why do you say on the drag strip?

Probably guaranteed to do well in a straight line but maybe unsure about track performance until its actually tested. Just a guess.

oh god thats always been my paranoia, i get all jumpy when it comes to parking in places where people with no life are most likely going to be, like alley carparks, schools etc. school students who jig and/or have nothing to do after class.. how much to repair that damage ?

yeah im in my final year of college...
im 18.

thanks for the sympathy..

i would estimate around $1500?
probably more...
not happy!
im sick of people doing sh*t to my car.
my car has been egged 6 times so i put security cameeras outside my house.
its hard to park it somewhere at school cos no where is easily visible.

Is that 76kw atw the 'before' dyno? And yes, mivec sounds awesome when it reverberates through those walls

yes it is the before dyno haha would be a bit worrying if it was the after dyno!
havent had a chance to scan or put up the dyno vids
but isntt 76kw atw a bit low?
i know its tip and mivec but still wouldve thought easily another 10kw?
remembering i have done:
UAS Intake Kit
NGK Iridium IX Sparkies
Magnecor 8mm Ignition Leads
sh*tty Exhaust which is probably worse than stock
(but sounds awesome)
thats about it

55.5 hours till she goes in!

I honestly think that power figure is a little bit lower than average.

How many km has your engine done?
Whats the year model?

It should be at least 85kw for a STOCK mivec tip. With your UAS kit, I would have expected 85 - 90 kw atw. But, there are so many variables that come into play its really hard to tell. Im willing to bet if you got it dynoed @ another place it would of got a different figure anyway.

Shouldnt matter anyway, considering what your planning for it.

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 2:52 am

my engine is just about to hit 160,000km's...
it will have a brand new (pretty much) top end but still have the same bottom end.
have been looking for a lower mileage bottom end but havent found one. its also a 1995 model
well we pretty much have the one dyno down here in hobart so ah not much of a decision has to be made.
it was on 98ron fuel as well...
hmm it could be the shody exhaust it currently has on it?
u guys will understand better once i put the dyno sheet and vid up

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 1:20 pm

That figure does seem low, I remember slurppee was about 90

air filter cleaned? Who knows. As said to many variables, but yeah can still be used As a comparison for later

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 5:47 pm

hmm air cleaner hasnt been cleaned since i put it in 10,000km ago and before then i dont know how old it is...
its the Apexi Super Flo thingy one...
i think it could also be the shody exhaust.
would a bit dodgy transmission lower the kw output?

xSlurpee · Post by **xSlurpee** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:21 pm

theres something wrong with the dyno or your cars running on 4cylinders or something ...

i got 99.8 with just a pod filter and stock everything (gpvr tip)

koolio1234 · Post by **koolio1234** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:52 pm

It possibly can be attributed to the exhaust setup, might be less or as efficient as stock. Also the 160,000km may have been rough on the engines efficiency so who knows.

Its still good you got it dynoed though, you can use it as a guide to how much of an improvements the mods made.

What are you doing about your intake though? C.A.I im assuming, what piping and filter you using? I hear the HKS Super flow (mushroom looking one) had the best power improvement over most others in the market.

Post by **vipfto** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:04 pm

yeah mate stuffed trans will make huge difference
same as manual... new clutch opposed to stuffed one means lots of KW

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 3:07 am

yeah thats why i was looking for a fresher bottem end...
intake is completely custom

youll see it when my engine bay is revealed.

well that is why i got nvr2lows old gearbox which has only done half the amount of k's mine has!
my gearbox is pretty jerky especially shifting down from 2nd to 1st and makes a whiney noise..

also really need to get around to putting the vid and sheet up!

31 hours till the car goes in!

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 3:24 am

alright put the vid on youtube...
here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cCjvZNk9lM
once again only got 76kw atw...
u can also see the dent on the rear quarter panel but it looks not as bad as it actually is.

but yeah tell me what u think
