I'll just leave these here. 

 

Unfortunately I had to work when the tune was finalised, however Benny did do a baseline run for me when I was there. Made sure everything was safe, which it was and ran it up. 

 

It was 124fwkw when I took it to him. So this is the final result.

Sounds good, nice linear power. Should surprise a few other NA bois. 

10 points to me for guessing the range correctly. 

No points for the person who said 180 something kw lol

The video does the sound absolutely no justice at all! That intake sound was making my chest vibrate. Was probably the best moment I've had with my cars, seeing it being revved like it should on the dyno and being able to actually hear it only 3m away. 

 

The way the car drives now, it feels alot more powerful than the 132kw the dyno says... maybe I'm just butthurt from the final figure? ??

 

A 1/4 mile trap speed should clear up the power figure a little better anyhow ?

Why hurt? It's a 2L NA engine that's how many years old tech wise? 

I think over 130fwkw is very good given there are still 4 cyls being sold new right now that make less at the flywheel. 

Plus you know you can also put a small turbo on it later to really wake it up and make an easy 200fwkw, which would be an absolute hoot given the VVL head will mean bugger all lag on a T28 size turbo. 

Enjoy your hard work.

I was probably 'hoping' since my crank is only driving the alternator that it would free up another few kw. 

 

However the thing absolutely hammers. It isn't scary fast, obviously. However the power vs chassis is very well balanced. 

 

I do have another engine in the pipeline with alot more compression, larger cams, alot of head work etc etc. So we'll see how that progresses. 

 

I'll enjoy this over the next 9 - 12 months before I finish the other engine ?

Good.

Goal of what? 160-180? Still a lot for a 4cyl NA. Or are you adding a spooly boi. 

Goal of 150 - 160ish on Benchmark Solutions dyno I think would be somewhat realistic. Depending on a few factors, final compression ratio will dictate fuel I'll be running. Ultimately I'd prefer 98 for simplicity, however I'm not against the corn juice. 

 

I have alot of mates asking me, egging me on to go turbo, a few things hold me back there. 

Driveline is #1 these gearboxes are ordinary at best when it comes to turbo torque, there is a couple of bandaid fixes, although nothing I'm that interested in. 

 

Emissions is #2 I really wanted this to fly under the radar, hence N/A, slightly lowered, understated outside. When I add a FMIC, turbo choo choo's etc it makes it stand out a little more.

 

N/A screamer #3 it's a passion of mine too. I like the challenge of having no forced induction to rely on to make power, there is nothing quiet like the sound of an N/A car at 8k too.

 

I recently had a mate drive the N14, before it was tuned. He's all about forced induction. He said to me, this thing doesn't need a turbo man. It's so well balanced in power/weight and also the perfect mix of street/track setup. 

 

That came from a guy who turbos everything he owns and also before it was tuned, so no big revs.

There's your answer then! 

150-160, NA, at 8k, will be glorious

I really think so too! It won't be for a while. I plan on enjoying what I've got here, I'd like to do some track days in the new year and maybe a couple of runs down the 1/4 before Xmas. We shall see though ?

Have done 1000kms in total (untuned and tuned) since the engine went in, so wanted to do an oil/filter change too. Threw a spanner over a heap of things to double/triple check everything. It's all looking pretty good though! 

 

I'm just enjoying being able to drive it, honestly.

I get excited by na pulsars, what can i say ?

What times did you get at the strip tim?

I did a best of a 14.17 on this occasion. 

I believe a high 13 would be possible, taking into consideration:

- hot day

- fresh setup and not alot of opportunities to practice launching 

- not really setup for the drags

- a better driver, being fresh, I was pussy footing the launch a tad.

How many kebabs did you win?

I won zero kebabs as not hectic enough Uleh.

Any onboard? 

 

I've got some videos on the GoPro I haven't gone through yet. Although my wife came down with me and took a heap of videos which I'll upload today at some stage ?

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
