And on it goes.

When can we expect some numbers!

[kiahatsiu]

My source tells me it is at 192 at the wheels on 17 lbs, with 17lbs from 3600ish rpm. Happy thus far.

With TC slipping?

[kiahatsiu]

Nope, it is a manual.

I am so confused. I honestly thought you had an auto. God damn I'm silly.

[kiahatsiu]

Into the 200s.

Good work! Do you have a final figure yet?

[kiahatsiu]

Edit: final one was 205.something at 19.something psi.
To say i am pleased with the results is somewhat of an understatement. It picked up near 30 kw peak with much more throughout the rev range.

The proof of course will be in how it drives, not so much the dyno number. *

Interestingly enough, it was leaning out around 5800 rpm, which seems to be a common issue with DAVCS motors. Anyone else experienced this, and how did you work around it?

*but who doesn't want a big number, seriously.

Went out to willowbank tonight. Took it easy as I don't want to blow the gearbag. 3 runs, all of which were 105mph with 2.5-2.8 second 60 foots. Best time was 14.2. The good news is there is plenty left in it.

Thats hardly leaning on it, 6 speed that sucker for 1.6-1.7 60's. Looks good in the flesh.

Low to Flat thirteen is almost a certainty with that sort of mph and a good launch

Well done Ian - more importantly though, how does it feel to drive???

[kiahatsiu]

How does it feel to drive? After this tune it is just effortless. Drives better than stock. You cam putter about town and it feels likes torquey albeit slowish car, say a corolla, rev it above 3 and the nose points at the sky. Plenty of top end.
Just to reiterate; I expected it to be quick, but my mind is blown by how well it drives. A credit to Coyote and PITS.

[dr20t]

Thats fantastic mate well done.

And kudos to Tony and pits for their work too

Kinda makes me more anxious to pull my finger out and get my 6 speed in and tune for sugar cane

Congrats mate. Sounds like you have some great practical power there. You sound stoked . Glad it came out as you where hoping.

Stuck a set of Remsa something a rather pads in this thing today. Just bedded them in. It stops rather well now. Has DBA series 5000 rotors too.
