Lol.

Not sure If my Arse Dyno needs calibrating but the Extractors may well have freed up a little bit of response and midrange. :D

Sweet. SkyHatch aint no Snarling Beast but she's fun.

Got my rego sorted!

The 34 is officially ACT registered!

Man first time rego is expensive, it cost me $800 for 3 months because of stamp duty

yupppp

well done though, will keep an eye out for spots :woot:

Awesome!!! Well Done Mate.

Stamp duty sux. Unless the car only cost a Grand. :banana:

took off my intake manifold out for painting

was surprised that how clean it was

I think the engine was rebuild at some stage because the bolts on the engine mount has marks of spanners and the other little bits and pieces has marks of spanners

Time for more boost :banana:

Chipped N13 ECU installed yesterday. (Tuned for port/polish and Camira cam)

Even with just Pod and Extractors I THINK??? it feels a wee bit Quicker. ;)

A Camira cam? So a toyota cam fits in... cool Japanese.

I wonder... how easy would it be to find one in a wreck, and how cheap it would be.

I spose there may be other issues like lifters and bearings, whats the go, is it a thing people do?

As far as I know the Camira was all GM. When discontinued the model was replaced by a Holden/Toyota hybrid thing though.

There was a model that had the same 1.8l as Rob's pulsar.

Edited by dontyellpl0x

The 18le engine in the N13 is a GM family II engine. The leaded JD Camira 1.8 cam is the cam to have (Not the unleaded 1.8 variety).

Apparently it has the highest lift and longest duration of all the GM family II cams.

Dunno if I'll go there or not but it's interesting nonetheless. :)

I think it's kinda cool that the SkyHatch has a Holden engine and the SkyWagon has the Nissan engine that Holden used. :cool:

A n00b question incase someone knows...

As this ECU was apparently tuned for: Extractors, Freeflowing exhaust, Port n Polish and Cam to make it richer at higher RPM,

Having it installed with Pod and Extractors but stock cam and exhaust, No port n polish etc... Would this likely cause issues?

Should the timing be set differently etc? Would it be likely to run lean or rich? Detonation possible?

Learn me! :D

likely has more timing to compensate for the lost dynamic compression after fitting a larger cam.

but given its a kinder suprise tune id be erring on the side of nothing would have changed more than a couple of percent

Cheers Zeb. Was kinda hoping you would reply. ;)

So what do you reckon? Should I retard timing slightly or just have a play with it and see what works best and avoid audible ping?

I guess the Sensible thing to do would be Dyno/Wideband etc... but meh. Cheap Car is Cheap.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
