EBBRO TE27 Sprinter Trueno

After spending a a great deal of effort, time and money to fix my previous car and got stolen really pissed me off, so I decided to venture into sume hobby which is less painful to the wallet, Im starting to collect die-cast, Yeah the replica of the real deal. Found some really neat and detail looking die-cast from EBBRO, the detailing is something you have to see for yourself, Its down to the gear knob and door trim board, so I have much high respect to these models.
Check it out.....

Racing Service Wattanabe Rims

After a long absence from this blog cause my car got stolen, I found a pair of nicely dish Racing service Wattas, for my New Ol skool ride. Running with Bridegstone Gride II tyres the rims measured around 15X7JJ with probably a +10 offset from my measurement. Its only a pair and I'm gonna sell it off cause I've got another set of Hayashi Racing with some deep offsets although its only 13". Gonna do some Hipari style rims. huhuhu...

The Power

First Pull

The first dyno run netted 105hp on wheel, but I noticed he back off at about 6+++rpm, which means that the hp can still go higher. Another point to check was the very lean a/f ratio at the beginning of the rpm which points out that the open stack causes a very dangerously lean mixture at the bottom half of the power range. This was done in wide open throttle application.


Going for a fifth run

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.


Securely strapped to the dyno due to excessive horses

Wheel spinning frantically at 7000rpm

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.
