Soooo true hahahahaha.

[mynameisowen]

at least its running now! How much did you skim off the head?

Owen not sure ill check and get back to u but i know i told the guy to skim it to near max. That was near the markers on head for skimming.

Done a quick 0-60 tonight and getting 7.26 secs ! is this good ?

[Dodo Bizar]

It's unbelievable... I guess 60 on the dial? Not real speed, or it's really really fast. Normally for my D14 I aim to get 9 sec... -ish. Officially best is 124 kmh after 10.2 s I think. But that is officially timed on a 1/8 mile.

Hi dodo yes it doing 0 - 60 mph in 7 secondish ! So your saying its quick then im happy at that then !

And done top speed tonight there and im getting about 131mph ! Is this good ?

My old engine that was in was lucky to hit 115mph.

Ill post some pics up here of engine before it went in just for anyone to see ....

Looks really clean, nice.

131 mph is fast... I've got a really hard time topping that. To be honest, I only did pass that speed twice or so.

Normally I top out around 130 mph, even with VTEC. Only once I managed 141 mph, on the dial... had a ram air intake that day which was pretty rubbish at lower speeds... I think... actually I should consider retesting and tuning that particular setup a bit further. In the day my options were more limited then they are now.

Thanx for feedback.

So do you think ive hit a sweet point on the car and i could say im happy with my tuning !
