how is the car going prash?

the cars going hood..sorted out a couple of issues with the ecu that were fixed in the firmware update and the hood clearance with the AC hose has been fixed (caused due to the skunk TB)..
in terms of driving...dont really vtec/full throttle any more..way 2 scary..crazy torque steer and it srsly takes off after 6k..but it revs so quickly on full throttle..u cant really enjoy the high revs before u have to shift. Fuel economy isnt an issue for me since i dont drive much so idk abt that.

how is the car going prash?

[crashprash]

i guess the best way to find out is to use a hu dyno in a controlled environment with air flowing into the gruppe m scoop. i was expecting the rbc and tb to get more than my cams..but i want reliability as well so make do with what i have.

[stevan]

ah ok then i was misinformed.

[RichyR]

hmm yeh i wouldnt have bothered with the A spec cams though Prash got them cheap, how does b spec cams perform on k20?

There's no such thing for k20. Toda comes in A2/A3/C/C2/D/E/F for K20a.

[stevan]

Remember crashprash is running A2 cams which are entry level cams so you can't expect too much. I would be running spec C or if fully built spec F. Combination is everything. He has a decent gain once vtec kicks in ~20-26kw all the way to red line. You will get a bit more out of it with a bigger cam.

Anyways, take it to the track and enjoy the extra power Crashprash.

Dyno numbers means nothing, if you're worried about numbers, run it on a high reading happy dyno.

they mean everything when you run a before an after run

and especialy after cams increase of only 20kw is bullshite.

peak means nothing your right but if prash's car was dynoed on the same dyno at about 120 and only gained 16 kwatw after cams/tb/haltech i would have thought it would be a bit higher

dude was that 136.3kw atw after H/E rbc , TB + cams+ Haltech ECU??

if so that's bloody low!

all that stuff woulda cost you least $5000 and all for what 20kw increase??

WTF something not right here!

yeh man agreed something aint right here, should be up around 145 at least

Hey Prash, i just got word from the guy tuning my car that i'm getting 138kw with headers, exhaust, intake, and the ECU. Without ECU was 121kw.

thats great numbers eddie thats what i was expecting when i get mine tuned, good to see the haltech getting some decent numbers.
