200whp with stock N/A rotating assy?

[digger]

once over 100 it doesn't mean anything if i understand correctly as it doesnt relate to what the engine wants for fueling

the injector is continuously open all that matters is how lean it got thats how much excess air there was. if it got to stoich then for 13:1 add 10% plus 20% to get it to 80% duty

the injector wont work consistently at 100%

mine made 225whp on 24lb at 78% duty IIRC, my 30lb run at 65% (12.1ms 6000rpm) with same level of power

Put 24lb in tonight and preliminary tuned it, will dyno tune tomorrow.

AFR's on the WB look ok?

[ForcedFirebird]

Yeah. Just tough to get in high gears with a loud race car and industrial/public streets. If they are too small, will order, but the customer is getting antsy about having his car back. Did some rough calcs based on old vs new flow etc, should be in the 80's duty as you suggested. Time will tell though, eh?

Cant wait to see the results!!

Wow, my 2.7i is fun, but i can't believe how much this setup stepped up from oem and can't wait to see what the new tune does!

Had some fun today at the dyno. Made a best peak hp @ 217, but that was with the runners shortened and mid range TQ suffered. Overall best "power under the curve" was a peak of 214hp/202tq.

Sorting the graphs, will post some up.

Nice work John :up: Man would i love to run some of those RHD itb's on my 3.1 with a better cam.

[ForcedFirebird]

Ugh. First I grabbed the wrong folder from the dyno PC, so can't post any graphs right now, but that's not the worst part.

The vapor in the video turned out to be a developing problem. Got worse today, so opened up the valve cover when we got her back in the shop. Lots of milkshake on the back of it, but dip stick looks clean - threw the pressure tester on it and that stupid #6 cam journal cracked :(

i found there was about 10-15ft-ftlb loss in midrange at 4000-5600rpm with 2" shorter runners but only 1hp more

shit!!! mayo

Pretty consistent with here. Duty cycle is close to yours, too. These Ford 24lb injectors are the single pintle and shoot pretty sharp.

Head is off, new core is being prepped/ported/machined. Owner was a bit bummed, but happy it was noticed now, and not after the coolant wiped out his new engine.

Worst part is, the old head was pressure tested and ran for a year before it cracked. Never overheated, but was abused.

[bmwmaster81]

Omg, bad luck.
This happened also to my old engine the head cracked at the same place.
Then i rebuilt it and the head gasket blew out on 5th zylinder.






Now with my new build i try to reinforce the head as much as possible.




With Arp bolts and O-ringing an plates like the turbo guys do.........i hope it will help. Becase when the head will be fu...... up the next time, this will be the finish with m20 in my car and i sadly switch to another engine.

Maybe we should put all information together to research why it cracks and look out for possibilities to solve this problem......
