I have a mint 1989 gte pretty much standard tucked up in a garage at hoe in ireland, dude that looks $uc*king awesome!!! send me your email and I will send you some photos, ps I have a set of 5 original sport wheels at home just waiting to find the car lol!!!
PS ill let you in on a secret about me, my first love is actually vauxhalls from "when I was a young fella" :p mainly the nova because of its rally heritage in Ireland and NOT its chav status over here!! lol so by the looks of things we share more in common than we think lol
Chip did you not just say advance till about 40deg or till you det whichever comes first and fill fuelling map will a desktop cal of some sensible values and allow closed loop to look after the rest LOL!!
I have a yozza with a decat, I do about 40miles a day, and between 65-75 mph it is silent, either side of that its load and raspy and sounds awesome but can give a bit of ear bleed, I guess depends if you have a stripped out back as I do so there is no sound deadening, what I have found is if...
No worries at least we can bounce ideas off each other in the future :), as for getting rid of your de-cat, at top end you will see an advantage of the freer flow through the exhaust its just at the lower down slower speeds that you wont get maximum benefit but the standard manifold is a 4-2-1...
There is a downside but, the knock control will look after this (but there is the question does this ecu have both r****d and also advance control to make the most of the high octane fuel or recover the loses from a period of running $hitty fuel because if it doesnt it will store the corrected...
Im not a fan of any automatic mapping TBH, there are certain circumstances it works ok, but personally I always just do the whole map myself so I know whats going on with it, especially with stuff like hot cams as often they wont actually want the "textbook" lambda values anyway due to all the...
Thats person you are talking about is me! and I run and engine dyno day in day out as my job as a calibration engineer, so I may just have a little bit of experience, and as getting mixed up, maybe I didnt spend enough time explaining but im fairly busy and only grabbing my lunch while reading...
It will definitely be affected by octane, as the octane level is directly connected to the burn rate of a given fuel by means of the mass burn faction chemistry equation and specific heat of the given fuel (which will take into account the air burned with the fuel) ie changing your lambda/AFR ps...
Its grand if you dont because the fuel trim should look after itself (just means you wont get the full potenial from your car), and if you want to run 99 etc it can let you exploit a little bit more from the engine and trim it the other way!
wel thats good for a start lol, but if his spark/burn isnt that good at that point, and which from what everyone is saying is a prone point for torque dip, any poor combustion is only likely to be made more prominent, which would mean more retarding!! this is only a quick guide not "law" lol my...
You cant really tell whats going on unless you have in cylinder traces, or at least see what the output is for the knock sensor at this point is. At a quick look the ph1 box obviously doesnt flow aswell as the ph2 (only a guess as i would need a flowbench to prove) not only is there a dip in...
Might seem like a stupid question what fuel have you been running in the car? and have you changed it very soon before your power run? reason I ask is that the closed loop fuel trim might not have caught up with "new" fuel and with your mods might not burn as efficient with that fuel yet! which...
lol mines fully stripped out and has decat etc and I use it every day aswell I know what you mean but its not all taht bad if you drive it a certain way when you are poodling around and then when you rag it its fun lol
That would be awesome if I could have a look, I would ideally like to run slider because my missus wants to drive on track to she is quite a bit smaller!
Cheers lads, thats the worry I was having, fears have come true lol, where can you get the cobra x low frames for the clio? and can they be used with runners?
Scott been looking at drilling but think where the lap strap comes through will stop the frame rising if you get me!
