Its seems now alot of ITB set ups come with a full EMS system and there are quite a few on the market now and very comprehensive. Considering my options for the AE86 - Dual carb should be fun but ITB's will give me more power and reliability. Not to mention the problems you'd have in finding someon...

Lastly was many trips to the dyno - result ending up to be 204 @ 7996rpm whilst retaining the std exhaust manifold and downpipe as i had run out of cash!!! Ah, yes, forgot all about the manifold!! I bet there are gains to be made there, although I'm thinking more about the driveability. ISTR that 4...

If i can get 204 fwhp (127.5 hp/litre) out of a 1.6 4A-GE then i'm SURE 220 out or a 3s-ge is obtainable. The absolute KEY is headwork. Regardless of what anyone says - if you dont get that done right it just wont flow what is needed to make this power. Nathan Nathan, I agree with the possible powe...

Oh, and nathanfreke seems like he's gone down that same route with the Mk1, so listen to what he has to say about how it changes the power delivery.

I agree with Patrick, the 3SGE is a good engine, and with the right mods, it could break 200fwhp. If I was doing this, I'd fit a set of throttle bodies with a standalone ECU, and a set of cams. I reckon you could that properly for about £2.5-3k. It won't have much more torque though (not that you'll...

As Muhsin says, work out what fittings you need and what length of hose, etc, and then give Think Automotive a call (0208 568 1172).

I never said he was not a strong figure in the community as he obviously is. But I am good friends with gts chris and with JJ so dont worry, you dont need to compare me to them Dino, I picked up alot of those guys which are also great people. I learnt the rest myself. Poor g1ts! So, despite them be...

Dont worry it makes no sense to me either! :mrgreen: My mind must have been having another conversation whilst I was typing. #-o What I meant to say is that the two pistons that failed at the ring land had been exposed to high boost pressures before hand on a dyno. It however became apparent that t...

Ah bikes, something i can comment on: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/techcafe.jhtml?artID=2&detail=article&part=technical http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve Makes for an interesting lump Ah, nice one, matey!!! =D> The first link showed me *straight away* how it's done - what a clev...

Problem is Dino the picture you see posted by Screech is taken by me, he has another piston which is also cracked in the same manor. He managed to have two pistons dropped - however the failure apparently happened at 8psi? So either the pistons cracked but held out and then failed or somthing like ...

F1 cars use pneumatics to open and close the valves , this system isn't being used on road cars because of the incredibly high noise levels produced . That's the one!!! =D> That's why I didn't say for sure, because the one thing that was niggling me as I posted it was that I doubted F1 teams would ...

Interesting about the MoTeC btw - apparently I didn't read the specs well enough :) I haven't seen mention of it in any other ECU literature though - happen to know if the Emanage or Emanage Ultimate can do individual cylinder trims? (Just out of interest, really). Mate, the basic Emanage is just a...

BTW - regarding EGTs.. All of the 1ZZ-FE turbo conversion folks that are running EGT sensors pre-turbo are seeing over 1000C on a pretty regular basis.. I was quite shocked (and a touch worried!), but it seems to be the norm :? Mate, that don't seem right! :shock: The engines that run the hottest a...

Anyone heard of solenoid controlled valves? When my mate was at ford they developed and engine with solenoid controlled valves. No need for cams. If something like this could be done we'd get perfect timing etc. Do you mean hydraulically driven valves? If I'm not mistaken, that's what kinda valves ...

So which cylinders should be run richer? Or will that depend on the individual build/setup etc? To be honest, it'd be guesswork unless you had an EGT gauge per cylinder, but more ideally a way of reading lambda for each cylinder (not easy to do, as the temps at the points where you'd be trying to m...

You'd need some very trick engine management to do that - I don't know if even the top-of-the-line MoTeC stuff can run individual fuel maps for each injector (though I very much doubt it). You could run a weird-ass fuelling setup, with an RRFPR on each injector, I suppose and then up the fuel press...

I never realised you blew a ringland. Yeah, although mine was from over-revving to 10k when I hit the wrong gear! :oops: The shock was SO severe, it shook the flywheel loose. I fixed that, and sorted out the leaking crank oil seal too (also caused at the same time), but then soon afterwards it ran ...

Guys, that is CLASSIC ringland damage, caused by the excess boost. No det there (can you see any pin holes, or worse, melted sections?). This is what James and I were talking about. When the stock engine runs too much boost, the piston ringlands will break away like that. Mine did this on cyl no 4 (...

James, it seems to me that you and I are beginning to pretty much agree on everything. How scary is that??? :D TBH even if it goes boobs up its most likley that a ring land will go in very boring fashing and its going to be an engine strip and rebuild with a few better bits. :mrgreen: Yep, totally a...

Well I think its time to move and and put the b1tch side of this tread to rest, but before we do i'd like to mention just a couple of things... Mike (as well as quigonjay, Goldy, Mark Edwards and others that have given their support), I *really* appreciate your appreciation but it's something I've ...
