I love the sound it makes.
130hp at the wheels is a very good achievement in my opinion, well done. Manufacturers don't deliberately make underpowered engines, so you normally have to fight hard for every extra BHP, even then it's very easy to end up with less.
Bet you can't wait to get it on the road.

Need the VVT hooking up.....were you @90% DC with both banks of injectors?

Is the figure of 130 ATW or corrected.....if at the wheels it's not bad at all for NA!

Regardless of the power it sounds mint! Very cool

Thanks, I do like the sound it makes. I did sneak a quick blast down the road and back, suffice to say I will wake the neighbors on an early start :ohmy: :whistle:

90% duty cycle was just on one set (the original Jimny ones). The VVT is hooked up and it responds when you use the laptop to test it (can hear solenoid clicking). The S60 ECU only has so many outputs, annoyingly it wont do 2 sets of injectors as well as vvt at the same time, the next model up (S80) is needed for that. It is an option to go to the next one up still.

I need to ask Johnny if its a corrected figure or not, I remember a correction factor of 0.23, but dont know if thats applied or not. If it is then she's not making what i'd hoped for by a fair way, in which case the questions about why start. Its still a massive improvement on what it was doing though

It sounds amazing Riccy, it will be a giggle to follow it. Blipping the throttle at the lights when your sat next to Mr Clio and his drain pipe exhaust..... Ace...

Power numbers are spot in too, when I suggested running a book on the result, I guessed at 165 bhp which will be somewhere near at the flywheel.

Near enough max torque at only 3700 is very good too, the crawler gears will be unstoppable.....

Fantastic build all round....
