My Car In A Jap Performance Mag :)

[Hungryhippo]

Its not a skyline but I'm sure someone here will be interested in this.The mechanic I go to called me and said that K-Car Special mag wanted to do a feature on one of his customers cars that he'd fitted and tuned an E-Manage on.

Well done They mentioned the owner was from Australia too... good on them.

Not really into Kei's but with those 'bargain mods' how much power did it make?

Nice, show us more pics!

its making 80ps at 0.9bar boost.end of next month ill be fitting a bigger turbo which will give me around 100ps at 0.9bar.tossing up wether to get forged pistons too so i can run around 1.4 bar boost.at the moment its got massive midrange torque and great throttle response,the bigger turbo will shift all the power to the top end.4500ish to 8000rpm. The mechanic did a really good job tuning the E-manage.very smooth and very good response.a lot of the other kei tuners just go for maximum power but the response is very bad.

Rezz - i think you might have misread the articles title.Its "batsugun" not bargain

lol yeah misread it... stupid mistake.

I'm wondering what that Suzuki Cappucino was running to hit 242km/h (can't remember who modified it)? I've heard someone getting 200+hp from an F6A... doesn't sound like much but I can only imagine what it would be like to drive.

[Hungryhippo]

the mechanic that did my car has an alto with 250ps at 12000rpm.he's just developed a forged crankshaft and hes gonna try for 300 ps from 760cc

most of the race prepped keis here get around 150-200ps from either the f6a or k6a.

If he can get 300ps thats gotta be up there as one of the most powerful F6A's yeah? Gotta remind people reading this thread that 760cc refers to engine capacity not injector size

[Hungryhippo]

thats what hes shooting for.hes using the old k6a.the newer one like the one in my car with individual coil packs doesnt seem as good for insane power levels.its better suited for street use,much wider spread of power but not so much topend. 250 is the absolute max he can get from 660cc so hes upping it to 760cc

Your car still looks fairly new, when is it up for shaken? Will any of those mods (particularly the e-manage) have to come off to get passed?

[Hungryhippo]

its a year old.shakken in 2 years.the e-manage will be ok.one of his customers even got his car passed without a cat.they really dont care about keis here when it comes to regulations.it only costs 30 000yen for shakken but from what ive heard its around 100 000 yen for a normal car.i also dont have a cat but fingers crossed i wont have to put the cat back on.

[Rezz]

Yeah shaken for my HCR32 was around 100,000yen. Ever driven a Honda Z? I know they look more like a mini 4WD, but Honda factory turbo does have a ring to it... I've never seen any modded examples around, just the odd one in traffic.

Like I said I've never really been into Kei's, even after 5+ years in Japan never really bothered to check them out... although I did borrow a friends AT Suzuki Wagon R RR (with BOV) for a couple of days lol... but this has been pretty interesting. Thanks for the insight

[Hungryhippo]

nah.only driven suzuki kei cars.alto and cappuccino.oh man, u drove a wagonr rr auto?????ouch.

ive always liked little cars.and with the price of petrol now im kinda glad ive got a kei.even bouncing off the rev limiter in the mountains for a few hours i get around 11 litres/100kms.

[CircusMonkey]

Nice.

Do people drop Busa, GSX-r etc engines in?

[Hungryhippo]

I havent heard of anyone doing that here in japan. they generally just stick to the standard engine but increase the capacity and rev limit so they can run big turbos

[Ryosuke Takahashi]

so how big is the engine generally for kei cars?

and how light are they?

[Hungryhippo]

they are restricted to 660cc engine capacity. they generally weigh about 700-800 kg

[PhantomS14]

Nice work Hippo, get some more pics of your car up! And on 7Tune too.

[Rezz]

Your cars looking a little different now too Stephen (in your avatar)... what've you done to it?

[PhantomS14]

lol, not as much as what's in the pic, that's a photoshop! Still just the 17s. No money for any mods with the upcoming wedding 7 months away.
