it's not tuned yet but giving it a little bit to see where she takes off is around 3500 onwards, but i dont know if things will change majorly when tuned... but at the moment it sounds like a bunch of fire crackers going off in a drain of water. Needs a tune asap

as soon as i get it dynoed and tuned ill definatly post the chart. Should be interesting to see what she puts out.

thats a good price, i got quoted 250 for fitted and tuned but no dyno work, one carby place said they woodnt even touch the thing as they can get fined for it not meeting adr emmision laws

I'll have her ready for sure... I'll even do some on the way footage before it was tuned and running like Ass and then while getting dynoed and then the thrash on the way home [:x)] cant wait.

Yeah, hes recomended by so many people and not one and not bad thing said, i hope he makes some HP out of my setup, i'm sure ill be happy with what it makes and what he can pull out of it.

i wood say that when the auto elec did the electronic conversion on the dizz they have retarded the timing more than what it was before and have turned the idle up to componsate,(mark ur dizzy inline with the block for a fail safe incase something goes wrong) turn the dizzy anti clockwise very small incriments to advance it and see if it pings (sounds like a chain rattling in your extractors) its a matter of trial and error just turn it up till it pings then back it off a fractions, with such a large cam its gonna need to idle reasonably high any way, i have to run 98 octane and pro strenge octane booster in mine as the timing is real high to get it to idle and drive nice because the cam is to large for street

i would love 80Kw+ The guy i bought it off said she had about 66Kw in her when he sold it to me, so i hope to crack the 80's... Ahhh the 80's

at the moment it runs sooo bad like it's hard to not stall it and has no excelleration or power behind it.. all the fuel is spittin out of the far webber.


Needs fixys asap [(#)]

Fiuck!!!!!!!

Definatly not the result i wanted..... I dropped my car off at john collins dyno today to get tuned and dynoed at 8:30am whole day on my car which was awsome... went back at 5:30pm and he hadnt tuned it... there was somthing stopping it from tuning properly... so after a few dyno runs we were starting to cancel out some problems, dizzy was lined up and ok... cam was lined up and fine... plugs were new but there was a suss movement with the linkages, it had a "added" part welded on.. but john said wasn't enough to cause a major delay although they were not twisting at the same time. anyways he didn't solve the problem and i didn't get it tuned and i didn't get to see how much power the old girl can put out... im booked in for next week to see what he can fix.

But....

On the way home driving it it was running like a dog in low revs but in the mid to high it was a little rocket... i didn't flog it at ALL. but when i hit the freeway at 100 the car was starting to die like it was losing tune by the minute...

And then come the BANG...


lost a cylynder and i could have sworn i dropped 2. The car was losing speeed couldnt excelerate just kept pitter pattering along.. head lights dimming on and off and i had to literally rev it and drop a gear to sustain speed...so you could say the day i thought my car would be sweet fine and ready to thrash... was the day i was devoed and my car is even more bullshiit worse then before...

so ill keep you guys posted on what goes on... thats if i haven't set a light to the car. I've got a vid of it on the dyno but im not sure if its worth putting up. Maybe if you guys wanna see it just tell me and ill upload later.

Cheers Rhys
