flol. I'll bring my laptop

that looks properly awesome. Make it like that again!!!

look at 4500rpm. that's more than a dyno difference ;) +/_ 10 i'd agree with you

and stolen from Bens' project thread

i'll post both graphs so you can compare torque through the rev range if you like

depends who did it (primarily mapping) and which head it runs. ph1 engine makes the best with around 220lb/ft think the 182 made 215, both at 0.5bar the majority are making 200lb/ft....so far ;)

may have raped an M3 at some point :o

that's normal, it's called positive crankcase ventilation. it's basically the inlet vacuum sucking oil vapours out to burn them rather than venting them to atmosphere

all it proves it people who will never do anything interesting like to tell others they shouldn't either TBH

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 i thought they weren't sensitive to fueling ;)

you'd be blushing at a clio going past you

they just lack the testicle

i've had 3

mk1 is something i've been looking at for months, brackets would need to be different, but it's definitely workable

only way you'll really know if you want it is to drive it, and once you drive it, you WILL want it.

they look lush

janspeed exhaust, williams manifold and downpipe, and fabricated de-cat, all in one hit. Technically i fitted the coilovers, but it wasn't mine then ;)

Think i told you before......mates dad worked for BT, came down a pole one day and his van wouldn't start. Called out recovery....fuel tank knicked while he was up the pole

basically you have to "Run in" the cams becuase they're made cheaply. do some reading, but normally 20-30 minutes at 2000rpm

It's something i want to look into to as a DCI would save me loads. Just some good maintenance can give you back power and economy. Blocked/coked EGR valves and boost pipes will cost you a lot power and econmy

I'd want to fast idle those on first start as they're cast, just to be confident in the surface hardening, they'll wear very quickly if they're not correctly hardened and you dont treat them the right way. You dont have to worry about that with Billet

There are, but more suited to bigger turbos I think. David's told you the right thing for your setup really

can if you work the VVT correctly. std cams seem to do alright with a bit of switch point adjusting Agree with most of those saying if you want a turbo then save what you have now and put it towards that. Supercharging however works well with NA cams ;)

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 location of the restrictor could be making it more suceptable to ambient pressure and temperature changes maybe? cold will normally make it rise, but that's quite a lot

check for a broken wire, most likely the ring terminal onto the alternator has corroded and fractured

by the fairly large difference in the 2 figures, the car was probably still warming up on the first run, so slightly rich

not a bad graph. I wouldn't pay much attention to Alan Jeffereys advice though TBH.

that's pretty reasonable power and very decent torque for completely bog standard. What type of dyno was it, and you you have a graph you can post up? :)

it's well known that the stock inlet on those was deliberately restrictive, those box plenums make a big difference
