whats the story thumper?

 

samo--samo.. The car is ready to swap cams on the rollers.. modified the cam Bolt, so I can remove it without having to jack the engine and get the cam sensor out of the way.. pulled the front strut bar.. worked out the cam chain tensioner to be able to collapse it enough and not have to remove it.. so I can remove the cam gear from the cam and lift it out... removed the Nitrous system, all is ready!! yes??
NOT!!

Talked to Tony Of "HP Performance" to set up a full day on the Dyno.. and he is going to be gone till the 10th.. and then I will get the use of his Dyno...
SOOOOoo.... I will be doing it this month... yeah, yeah, I know.. I am slow.. sorry!!

Just me......................................

Thumper

 

i'm going to have to take the plunge and order blind I guess

 

Knew u always wanted to try one

 

not 100% yet there's a $100 price gap

 

hahah...thats what I felt too...but go for it...you wont be dissapointed

 

did you ever fit the newman?

 

nope, was scared when the first one broke via transit...recceived a second cam from newman directly n it was packaged like a fortress this time...

So, i tot if it can break at transit...then it can break underload in the head....scaaaaaaaaaary P.s.And this actually happenned in a few cars already

 

Can you please provide info on this? Link? Definitely worth a look.

 

i will try to dig up the info....been quite a while since i last saw the site...maybe Keith can provide it..

Im not saying the newman is bad...but from seeing first hand that it broke in 2 (I can provide u with pics) via transit...then my guess is that the core isnt of the best quality....but Ken Newman (being a gentleman that he is) sent me a replacement in quick time...but I sold it off to a friend n got the Crower/NS1 cam instead...

Although i dont have comparative tests between the Newman n NS1 cam...i love the performance the NS1 cam gave me over my stock cam...monstrous performance even on my stock tune

 

ugh hearing stuff like that makes me want to stick to parts i can make myself or have a long history of use like wheels, atleast that way i can control quality of materials etc

How about some numbers off a dyno for your monstrous performance gains. Do you have a dyno in your area?

Thanks

 

I'm not interested in getting into any pissing contests between cams, but I got 223 WHP on a Dyno Dynamics with just the Newman cam and RMW header.

 

We do have dynos my friend, but havent got down to doing it, I do have a job..anyways, there's only a few dynos in the country and the closest one (a dyno dynamics chassis Dyno) is about an hour away....

Will try my best to get on it once I can...be patient k?

but my butt Dyno says its 600 WHP...LOL..you can write that down

 

223WHP??? on just Newman/Header/tune combo??? WOW!!! Lucky you have a strong car...

223WHP equates to approx 255 BHP....thats crazy numbers!!!! Well done by the way

 

http://www.750formula.co.uk/forum/vi....php?f=4&t=189 one that I could find....

I have a job also. Just looking for some numbers off a dyno and a dyno plot. Everyone wants real info, not butt dyno's.

Thanks in advance.

 

I was joking bout that butt dyno stuff..but I will try to get on the Dyno as soon as I can k? I wanna see the gains myself

But things to consider:

- my car has stock tune
- my car has stock injectors
- My country has an avg amb. temp of 33 deg C and amb humidity of 97%
- Base is 223HP (last Dyno run before the install)

 

No problem. Whenever you can is cool or hot where you are.

Thanks

 

Really? So this has happened to a few people already? Can you please send us a link to these customers who had these failure in their cars. This is the first I have heard of this.

Longboard

 

will try to dig it up Bryan...but its not Minis thou....

 

I don't get the "rolling eyes" smiley. You doubt my truthfulness??

 

is that WHP or BHP? I tot Dyno Dynamics was a rolling road type dyno and measures BHP

 

WHP

 

Really? I didnt know dat...dats good to know....cos we only have Dyno Dynamics in Brunei
