it would have been more appreciated there and advice and know how would have been attained easier aswell.
As was said. Its to show the guys here how things are done on this side. In all honesty I'm not looking for validation. I'm just putting the information out there. Those that wish to believe or replicate will at least have a template to work from. I'm constantly reminded about this in two ways 1)people telling me that I'd never make any power on a CT9 and 2)people telling me my car could never handle as good as X,Y,Z. My friend in Japan made 169.7whp on his CT9 at 15psi on 102RON. A JAM Racing prepped car I saw made 172whp at the same boost level. I hit 144whp with more than enough overhead to get to another 10-15whp. At 144 the car was more than enough for my application. At 160, with my current suspension modifications it would become pretty much invincible on the road. So, there I stopped listing to the nay-sayers long time ago, and concentrated on the information that would help me achieve my goals.
Hello Rory! How is the build coming along? Have you had any further progress with the management, i want to see this beast get tuned!
The car was tested again on the stock ECU, and proved there was no technical issues with the wiring. Its the Microtech that's proving to be the problem. When you have a standalone for an unpopular car, you're starting from scratch, therefore it will take time to build a proper base map, which includes start-up data, etc.
But to me it is a very very poor built and nowhere close to basic enginearing proccess.
It is just poor on almost everything...and i will be surprised if this engine last a year without issues running LOW boost and safe map and standard timing.
I see nowhere its an improper build. It was a working, driving engine, used, removed and cleaned up according to the Toyota 5E manual and put back in. I've refreshed many engines to factory specs without issue. The problems happen when people try to do their "custom work" and screw up their cars then turn around and blame the engine. I saw no where in the Toyota manual I was using about skimming.
never seen standerd rods go over 250 without bending
I have seen the 5E-FHE rods do that.
Will you not be makin' more breather's on the rocker cover to let the gasses out and ease the pressure buildup within the crankcase? What is the method used? Is it jus' a matter of drilling more holes on the rocker cover as i understand there is a few hp to be had there too!
The engine already has a oil-air separator. It will be enough from my experience.
Well, if you guys messure HP the same way as those comboys in USA, then you will be very disipointed if you took the car to Europe and tryed dyno it here...
I will register my bias here for the USA dyno behaviour. Euro tuners tend to focus on flywheel hp, which is literally a made up figure unless you actually test hp at the flywheel.
