Thread: First Dyno run

i would use the mazworxs gasket

I wish you the best. I just want to see a 2.2L make 235 plus WHP.

I will then know for sure my 2.3L will make 250 WHP. If it does not I wll have to step up to 2.4L.

I also wanna see one of these builds good numbers. Good luck with the testing.

Dynoed the kelfords at Intec to get another baseline got 210whp 158wtq corrected it was 203whp and 156wtq

Tried the kelfords at 0,0 all the tuning in the world i got 17xwhp 14xwtq

Went back to +4,-4 and swapped headers with a prototype from charles didn't really gain much

finally i switched to N1 cams +4,-4 retuned uncorrected 217whp 163wtq SAE 212whp 158wtq

The funny thing about it is that the N1 cams is that im now making 200whp by 6k rpm. they make more power everywhere compared to kelfords on the high cam and only loses 3-5whp on the low cam.

Plus the N1's are much smoother at idle and easier to drive.

Moral of the story, even for my motor no one has figured out how to make a better cam than N1's

i overlayed my dyno with another bolton 20ve with N1's of course i peaked more but area under the curve i blow him away.

unfortunately there was a printer problem so i don't have the dynos from intec but this is the rundown.

I do enjoy tuning the AEM though

to be clear props go to ASP Charles and Stefan

They were able to give me dyno time and a ton of help with the header, driving the car while i tuned and wrenching.

If an average joe wanted to do this much testing in a day it would have cost them $2k for all the dyno time and swapping things around so quickly. These guys are seriously the best ive ever come across. Miko time for you to move to the PacNW

very nice man, our block is back at the machine shop getting the sleeves bored to match the 12:1 90mm pistons, cant wait, it should be done tommorrow then the build starts, i will be documenting the entire build as well with lots of pics to show it off, haha cant wait, so you actually made quite a bit more power with the cams at +4 -4, thats good to know, we might just start with that for a baseline to see where we are at when dyno tuning it.

"BINGO". Nuff Said!!

Keep up the progress.

Great info for the community on the cams not new but good info.....
I have tuned a VE with both Kelfords and N1's and I have to say hands down to N1's but not everyone have the money to try two set of cams... but as for now nothing better than N1's

Let's not forget about the all important sound

When VVL hits on the N1's children run and hide, women clutch their purses and men stare like it's a train wreck...it's that loud
