pushead - I took off all my intake piping which was suprisingly clean, and gave it a bit more of a clean.

I then cleaned my afm and then took off the thottle body and cleaned that. Out of the lot the throttle body looked the worse (thin layer of very thick oil around it).

After putting it all back i found a noticible difference in throttle response and felt like it came on boost a bit smoother.

It will only cost u 1 bottle of carby cleaner. Would be interesting to see before and afters on a dyno of doing this.

yes it does... it always does... no matter what mods, tyre pressure, clutches all come into play.... put a decent clutch in a stock car and u will probably chop almost half a second off the time.

I made 140rwkw at BMT.

Mods:

* 3"dump/front

* 3" cat back (crappy cat is still the bottleneck)

* Bleed valve set at 0.7 bar (~10psi)

* K&N Panel filter in stock air box.

* Pineapples (prolly wont affect a power reading)

I couldnt give a rats ass what rwkw I've got. I ran a 13.83 @ 101mph last weekend which is similar to others with 180+rwkw.

nigasnt is 100% correct, rwkw dont mean squat!

thanks for all your input ppl. I was wondering ok, instead of measuring in rwkw but 1/4 mile times, did anyone measured their 0-100km/s? if so what results? reason why i asked is most street drags are 0-100km times, please also note i do not encourage anyone to street drag, but im sure we all have done it some stage :P:)

i think bmt dyno is lower (someones already prolly said what im saying b ut i cbf reading the whole thread)

so is racepace's dyno, best way to find out is either test on anotehr dyno or simply ask the guys at BMT if that's the average power they have seen on cars with your mods, they'd know best :P

This dyno is way low for sure!!

RiggaP said he ran a 13.8 or something with a dyno result of 141rwkw... For your car to run high 13's you have to be pushing about 180rwkw plus..

I had my r31 dynoed at Goodguys in bayswater and got 160rwkw @ 12psi and I know my car is probably good for low to mid 14's..

Take it to the track, see what sorta MPH you get

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
