Dyno Tune

Decided to go for a dyno tune to rectify the bad low end power & torque of the black top and also the overly rich top end. Arrived at Under 5 Performance Shop around noon, Alan the owner waited at his shop and proceeded to strap my car to the dyno machine to start his tuning.


The beast is securely strapped onto the dyno machine
before the run.

Did a base run first and managed to get 105hp. The graph showed a very lean mixture at the bottom half going to rich at the mid and top end point.

Did a few runs and found out that the ecu keep changing its settings whenever changes are made to the fueling and ignition. Seems like the power will fluctuate from one to another run. He had done a few black tops and all also shows these types of result. The 16V & silver in the other hand doesn't have this problem. Sigh!!! Think I need to really invest in a stand alone ECU.

Stacks

Should i make it this long, wonder hows the response

Gonna custom made the stacks, from the local exhaust shop,
Have taken the measurement and its going to take bout a weeks time, before I can get it install & dyno tune.

AE86 from HK

Found some nice photos from this link.

Another Carina Coupe

Checked out my PC hard drive and found out a lot of photos from my collection of carina to be share among lover of this car.
This was the car that prompted me to get mine, long time ago, owned by my friend.

Front view of the car


Drifted in one of the local events when drifting was still in its infancy in Malaysia


Nice long corner


Front stance


Tofu colour


Its running on 1-gte from a soarer, with all the dashboard
and meter panels grafted to this car, no pics though.
The electronic meter looks cool .

Clutch Changed

After the run yesterday got the car limped back to the garage and had it dismantled to get the things sorted out before I go for a dyno and fine tune the engine, better get it done rather than had it slipping when we do the dyno pull.

Car is in the garage to have the gearbox dropped


The worn out clutch, Jeezzz I'm using TRD clutch cover and three puck racing clutch.


T50 gearbox on the floor


New clutch, cover & bearing being fix to the engine,
Its a normal OEM clutch and cover from
Mitsinbo (No idea of the brand).

Need to run in the clutch first before I can go for a few spirited run. Its not so noisy now. haha.

Drive Up Genting Sempah & Bukit Tinggi

Half way point at sempah, notice the neg- camber at the rear

Over the past week went for a drive up the hills of Genting, passing through Sempah and Bukit Tinggi. It was a slow drive to test out my rusty driving skills and also to check on the reliability of the car after a long storage period in the garage.


The way leading up the genting foot hill


The front stance of the carina

After a few spirited runs found out that the clutch was slipping badly and was not able to rev past the 4k rpm point. Sighh!! need to get a new clutch already. Damn, the existing clutch was only about 1++ yrs and very low mileage coverage. I suspected the clutch was not in good condition when i got it. It was whining a lot when i decelerate when I first got it.


From a different angle, the front seems to be higher than the rear


Reached the top of Bukit Tinggi at the Colmar Tropics

The engine really needs a fine tune up and also needs more torque at the low revs, was having problems at the low revs with the trumpets all open up, the sudden wide open of the throttle causes the engine to choke full of air while the fueling not able to compensate the a/f ratio. The E-manage that I hooked up really needs a tuning since I din't get it sorted out the last time it was installed in the car. Drive was great just need some fixing on the clutch and tuning to blast this hills once more the next time I decide to touge here.
