Dyno Shootout

[CMF_c-red]

We've recently installed a new Dyno Dynamics 2wd twin retarder dyno and in an amusing effort to christen it we ran our 2 Micras back to back in shootout mode.
The silver workshop hack ('95 lx) which has a Lukey backbox and an HKS Pod made 71.9hp at the wheels. My blue 5 door which is bone stock apart from a K&N pod made 61.9hp. Not bad figures considering the silver car has done 260 something though and mine 160.
We decided to try and crack 100hp at the wheels on a stock bottom end before the new motor goes in mine.
I have videos which I'll put up on youtube tomorrow.

Hey Jash, want to throw mine on some time as a comparo? Around the 95hp mark on West Racing dyno so would be interested to see what your's reads.

[CMF_c-red]

Yeah, we'd love to Paul. We're aiming to beat your benchmark, but full bunky style

You'd have to say I'd be disappointed to get beaten by anything but a serious effort! pm me if next Tuesday afternoon suits.

i'd be interested to see the results too.. i'd say nissanmania's car makes alot more then it has on other dyno's.. sodaniels made 64.5kw if i remember, and that's almost 88hp @wheels if my calculations are correct, motec, more compression/bigger cams has to be worth more then 7hp!

jash id love to bring mine down sometime and get my SAFC neo tuned would you's guys be willing to tune it for me?

i havnt had it properly tuned on a dyno since the cams and GA15 injectors went in so no idea what sorta power its making

 

[CMF_c-red]

Sometime pm suits. Can fit in around you. Can do mid afternoon - like 2pm or otherwise at end of day when traffic died down, say 5.30ish.

My Blue car is now making 72.2whp thanks to the addition of some Hurricane extractors and a Greddy PEII rear exhaust. Its feels a lot better, but still a little like it has a cork in it. Used the standard mid exhaust section from the cat to the rear box.
My guys have come up with some truly wicked solutions for induction and tuning - stand by...

giggitty, intake mods

Marcus whacked a light tune into the blue car today. Found another 6 horse, so currently at 78.2hp. Oddly there doesnt appear to be any massive restriction in the system - it still feels a bit plugged up though...I'm not 100% sure where its is...

wouldnt this be the problem?? the stock mid section?? that would be like forcing all the exhaust gas into a funnel and restricting flow....

like to see your solutions too!! sounds good!

 

[CMF_Nissanmania]

Once you get rid of the exhaust and intake restrictions you're left with puny valves. Only serious way around it is to bolt on a hairdryer!

 

[CMF_c-red]

We just didnt have time to do the mid section. Its restrictive for sure. There are just so many bends in such a small area - no wonder most people dont change it.
Paul, had thought about turboing it, but as you well know, there is no substitute for cubes...

 

[CMF_Nissanmania]

You're not giving the game away are you? Can't fit a 5.7L V8 into that engine bay, thank goodness!

 

[smidge]

you said you tuned it today? what did you use to tune it?

 

[CMF_c-red]

Nah Paul, much smaller and the correct brand...
