Peugeot 309 in the days the coolant temp sensor stop'd working while on the way to a car meet, so i re wired the sound system amp wire to the fan switch and oprated the fan manually usoing the radio on/off button when the tempature gauge got to half way #ghetto fixes

Yuk

If you've never cleaned out the TB, do it while its all apart. I did mine the other week and moved the butterfly manually in doing so. Very mucky and even more grime at the top of the TB as this is were more of the air passes (butterfly tilts top in, bottom out) Long as you carry out the re learnign process with a warm engine, you'll be fine. I noticed much better idle after doing so. Plenum spacer is a good mod, remap or no remap and ideally should be fitted prior to uprev anyways so make sense to slide it in while the plenum, intake and strut brace are off - saves doing the job twice.

I had this recently and it was the raised/extra wear material part of the aftermarket floor mat causing the clutch pedal to catch.

It'll give the intake some welcome roar Ryan, really shows of the big V6 properly.

Under side of your car is mega clean also pal

Best mod I've done sofa, thank you Ian

Immense ol pal!!! Always presentable and magazine shoot worthy x

Sound fantastic too, posh sport cars

First action, replace the clutch fluid. I'd also draw out a bit of that brake fluid, overfilled.

MR2? Lol Pleased you finally got one pal. Love your 370, everything works so well

Sexy as **** mate!! Would love to hear this

Love all these updates, how does it feel with the cone filter now?

True whp and wtq means so much more towards how a car performs more so than bhp. But the industry is geared to prompt bhp and lb-ft figures, well in the UK anyways.

NM figures for all lol That indicates to me that at a big rolling road meet, every car (same make and model) with the same whp would also have the same bhp? Irrespective of size of wheels, tyres, wheel alignment, brake and clutch condition and even completely different tyre pressures 25psi verses 45psi for example. That simply doesn't make sense to use a board % losses figure to obtain a bhp? What percentage figure typically would you use when calculating bhp? David

You're lucky not to have losted the nut

Wlekom return Link to your prev 350z journey? David

Agreed but for every example you can't just add a set percentage figure to calculate bhp ie the op with the seized caliper. What is the efficiency of the 350z drive train? typically Appreciate your time Rich David

But not a set percentage figure, that's why the run down is done I guess. Why does more power mean bigger losses?

I have a habit of trash talking any and all dyno threads, so for my latest I thought I'd start a fresh. No not really , transmission losses are a percentage , the resistance goes up with the horsepower you are moving the same mass yes but quicker and so take more effort I personally don't think you can just use a set percentage figure to calculate the bhp figure. While hosting a rolling road meet, a stock 350z DE puts down 240whp. The next is a fresh JDM fairlady z, so jdm it still has single pot calipers. Anyways owner goes its got exhaust, larger tb, decats, tomei cams, tomei headers and manmanagement. Once warmed up the idle is a tad lumpy tbf. Does its run and makes 250whp, well bolt on UK DE's make that with a remap? You add your percentage and hand the owner a print out for 290bhp. Later its found that one of the rear calipers was partial siezed , maybe sat at the docks to long. So the brakes are now sorted and the car again comes back for a run and makes 265whp. Well all along the engine was 300bhp+ so was it right to simply use a % or should the losses have been calucalated through run down?

Different dyno shouldn't affect transmission losses? Also transmission losses isn't a percentage its an actual HP figure. For example a stock car with 200bhp has losses of 30hp (170whp). If its then boosted and tuned to 400bhp, the whp would be 370 not 340whp (same brakes, wheels, tyres and pressures)

Love 'before' snaps

Post number #166 above, has similar whp and made over 300hp at the flywheel
