Great work Nick! I remember years ago you told me you wanted to get your Euro to 200hp at the wheels naturally aspirated.
You are getting closer...! Well done.
By my calculations this would make your Euro peak at roughly 185kw at the engine. Given it is the same dyno I think that is not an unreasonable estimate. That sort of power would make 1375kg move quite nicely I am sure.
Any plans to test the 1/4 mile again?
I will be happy when the car passes the 150Kws mark, that will give me in excess of 40% gains from stock on the NA motor... Of course, the more the merrier, need to see what Ray can come up with :)....
1/4 mile is definitely on the books when it's done :)....
so what mods have you done mate? and how much did you end up spending all up to get these gains?Quote:

My DC Sports headers will be swapped out for the TODA ones (Thanks to Adrian from Toda AU), 3 inch metal cat and a Skunk2 Megapower cat back.Quote:

Ok, how much difference did the cams make to the driveability of the car and how do you rate this cam mod? Expensive?
Car drives normal, not as responsive on the low end though but the surge on the middle/upper range of the rev range is where the powerband is, it just goes and goes... If you are not keen on having a lumpy diesel sounding engine, then maybe go for a milder grind is the way to go.
Why do you say you have a diesel cam?
Can you Cam for the lower range?
Like i mentioned in the other thread id love a cam but dunno about the Cam-Jtune Mild marriage....
Whats it like on fuel?
That's because my car sounds like a diesel engine now due to the lift of the cams... Tick tick tock tock tick tick tock tock hehehehehehehe.....
If you compare the stock cams with that of Skunk2's lobes, the lift and duration is quite massive...
Fuel wise, it's drinking a fair bit now but will go down to almost normal levels when the fine tuning is done by ART.
Cam + Mild tune can work, I don't see how it won't go together. It all comes down to the tuner's capability to read parameters and tune accordingly. My tuner is going through every possible parameter to get the right mix for my car. Same thing JTune is doing, I believe that they are going through every parameter hence the amount of time taken by them so far (too damm long IMO, but no puns intended)
