[Euro] Hondata Update

[aaronng]

A stock std manual Euro does the quarter in the mid to high 15s. The 350z usually does it in the mid to high 14s.

J-Toda got 15.2 on WSID. If you are getting your figures from magazines, you can't compare them to someone running it on the track. How brutal someone is on the launch and shifts will make more difference than 10kW of power.

The Euro feels slower than the RX-8 and 350z but feels about the same as the Aurion (but not as torquey). Power to weight ratio is not a reliable way to determine how fast cars are. There are many other factors that come into play.

And Sodaz I support fully your comment above....

Actually read these so Aarong you are wrong based on these articles. But this of course is based on the US model.

Those 3 links say that the 350z pulls 14.3 and 14.1 second 1/4 mile times. That's much better than 14.8 seconds.

So peekay how does the Euro drive in cooler conditions with JTune Extreme package ?

You can't compare numbers from different dynos. A 350z on a rolling road dyno pulling 155kW means a stock Euro put on the same dyno would show 105kW. Unless you get a gain of 50kW, the 350z will still be ahead.

i will have over 50kw gain form stock soon hopefully!

im aiming for most powerful n/a euro in aus

Well just let me say I hope you have good tyres....... Also a lot of effort went it to this the car was even dynoed at 4:00 am in the morning to be certain for the sole reason of having intake tempatures at a stable cold level.. safe for the car also at lower temps the car made another 5KWS at the wheels.....

i made 130kw/atw in 6degree outside temp

ive devised for stages of mods... stage 1 is nearly complete! stage two will be done before christmas, and 3/4 before winter next year... by then itll be -4degrees in canberra, so my dyno will kick ass! lol

Interesting well I think I am there already...... but you will have competition....

I will have The Jtune package extreme version custom tune up to 50deg cam angle, with new cam gears and soon some race cams

competition is gooooood

lol but i didnt think 50degree cam was good for the k24? isnt the piston to valve clearance way tooo close for that? hence why on the k24 the VTC only has 25degrees of change, but the k20 has 50?

im gonna grind mine out to about 40-45degrees of VTC

Nice can't wait to see it...

Althought I'm still skeptical about your 130Kws with those mods you did....



I can go on my dyno now and recalibrate the settings and make my 134kws read 180 kws on a 40 degree day if I want too LOL!
