Quite correct. Books are next to useless, they are nothing more than a conglomeration of the trends of the time and the opinions of the author which he has built up over his years. The real info you simply cannot afford, and it certainly isnt going to come in an off the shelf book...

Your question is too simple, there is no straight answer. Exhaust tuning is a complex system and to sum it up is quite possibly impossible to give you a true answer. A few OEM manufacturers have their own proprietary software that is into the millions. Your main problem is space, there is...

Re: Finally, a little update! ta, me too......not been able to hoof it downhill for a while at a decent rate.

Re: Finally, a little update! I'm not meant to be back yet.....still waiting for the chairwoman to appear.

Re: Finally, a little update! Rpm range is limited on the stock bottom end, so the entire engine is geared towards torque production. Cam is not that wild, valvetrain is stock, but we have incorporated ultra high velocity porting to shift the curve left and offset the short inlet. Simply...

i'd worry far more about stock pistons than i would about stock rod bolts.

Re: Finally, a little update! Before you all rush into saying silly things, some valuable information might be that i'm recovering from a broken elbow, 2 fractured wrists, a torn thigh muscle and a dislocated thumb. So yes, work has taken a massive hit.

we have a new program for the RS lowers aswell, sharing the program between RS and non RS manifolds wasnt 100% spot on.

the trophys have really bad plenums, probably a poor batch which went through at the time when the trophys were being assembled.

boost activated kits are very heath robinson, a mappable water injection system makes a big difference to MBT and resulting torque curve.

Yea, thats why they are such good friends now. Either way, even if there was a commisioning, if you paid for the dev then it belongs to you correct? I can remember fred showing me all the bits they had made by jenvey since they are good friends with whats his face at jenvey. And thats...

omg i'm so bored. F3, 235bhp on a 26mm hole...............go figure. Is it the size of the hole, or how well you use it? If a bigger TB is all thats needed to make whopping power, why wasnt the factory item made 70mm?............ Infact you've lost me.........who builds what for...

I dont see whats so hard to understand. Throttle area is hardly the main restrictive feature of the inlet system, as prooven by running a mk1 172 body on markm's and ross's car. However, a soddingly tight 90-100 deg bend right before the TB had a marked effect on the transitional flow of air...

call renault, gsf or any parts factors...you lazy sod ben.

Evo's arent that much fun unless you spend silly money to make them silly powerful, and they just have a horrible image and sound crap. Recently finished a 600bhp evo7 engine and that cost him about 8k just for the engine, no idea how much more he spent on the chassis but he had all the top...

Its called a PM, part of what we discussed tom.

damn right i dont.

Dont be so evian Jim.

i had a family emergency and there is no reception down there. So disregard what they said.

oh james.........can i buy you a new record?

I thought they sat under bridges and asked for tolls?

Who did you speak to here, as i never say anything like that about Schricks. Only think i say about them is that their cam data doesnt add up as technically the data provided shouldnt idle on a stock ecu, however it does so i must be pure geometrical data not lift based data.

6k! where!

because he bought a big fuckoff fancy vice.

buy new ones.

buy new whole arms.

Pads tend to squeel with time as they thin out or if a slide seizes etc and the leading edge of the pads touch first.

Yes, noises on OEM and fast road pads should not be there, but if your running race/heavy track pads then expect it.

Simply put, audiable register of high frequency vibrations. When you rub any 2 items together, despite it feeling smooth, its technically slide/grip/stop/slide/grip/stop. If these vibrations are too large then you can get pad squeal as it vibrates against the caliper housing/piston/backing...

Deffo junk the SMT and get an RStuning remap, you'll feel the difference.
