[rally ax 0]

Hmmm, funny you should mention bike t/b's, just heard from Bogg bros that my inlet manifold is ready

and will be getting sent out on Mon . I don't have time to get them all fitted up and re-mapped before

our first rally this coming weekend,but i'll keep you informed of the improvement (I hope ).

I'm hoping to be up from 134 @8000 to somewhere in the 140's .Who needs a 16v, just have fun with

an 8v even if it is only a 1360 ! GIANT KILL its fun Eh sandy309 ? I think you seem to work along the same line of thought ,no?

Deffinatly. Although i haven't bothered tweaking the 106 xsi i drive daily, it get alot of abuse, and still goes as long as i service it, its fine.

 

*TOUCHES WOOD* I think i worked out tonight i've done 1500 miles in it in the last 10 days, and still doesn't cry. *TOUCHES WOOD*

 

i can't be arsked doing engine mods to the 106, im saving up for an mi

I couldn't believe mine still had good, clear honing marks on it after 115,000 miles!

Yes its all about the noise...MENTAL....like my mate mentioned as I overtook his 106 Gti in a tunnel at 7000rpm on 40's. Can you imagine what that sounded like?

 

Dave do you forget the Hatfield tunnel?

What you want there is a bike with TB's and 14,000rpm. Now that is

Quick, while no-ones looking, lets turn it into the longest thread the TU section has ever seen!

 

Muhahahha.

 

 

This should set us off, and is sort of relevent:

What sensors would be need/changed to use a megasquirt with a TU engine?

 

 

EDIT: Ok, then, let's not. I'll get my coat.

yes mark a mixture of tb's and 45's in the tunnel bouncing off the walls ooh i want to get some carbs now

hmm how about a TU5 on bike tb's/carbs.....

[pugrallye 0]

TU's are fantastic especailly on carbs

That's my son's summer project, but we can't get our heads around Megasquirt yet!

Exactly, when the lighter engine helps give you the power to weight of many 16v cars. The 8v engine sounds better on bodies (FACT!) and you get better handling with less weight outside the wheelbase.

p.s. I can rev to 9200 but thats more down to engine than cam

 

Cool! When did you get the steel bottom end? Costly I bet.

 

My new engine should be built soon, not a 1360 though, how come you lot all stick to the 1360??

 

Not sure what RPM this video is but it sounds pretty nice. Carbs aren't quite the same sound but they still sound good. Video

[Sam 4]

I'm not running carbs in that video, its on throttle bodies now as in the avatar(t). That was before the map was tweaked by sandy too.

this was just a one off on the rollers it was off the gti clocks and the dyno hock up read 9150

 

peak was down at 6800 tho but there was no drop off

[Sam 4]

You really shouldn't rev a standard engine that high, I'd be suprised if you had the same power at 8k as 6.2k where peak is. I'd say 7.5k max on the 1360 valve springs, they are pretty soft.

[stu_woac 1]

head is no where near standard bottom end is tho and I'm looking in to that for next built,, out on track like I have said it doesn't go passed 7200 due to risk on the bottom end and no more real gain

 

on the vavle spring issue mine origanally bonced at 7k when car was standard

How do you know when your valves aer bouncing? I take mine to 7000rpm daily!

[Sandy 189]

Dimples in the bonnet.

[Guest smokinslim]

To what extent? Anyone got any pics?
