Under preforming 20 valve(silver top)

[AE86_4life]

I am a little concerd that my 20 valve is under preforming, I was wondering if any1 who has a silvertop can give me an indication of what kinda pwer i should be expecting. When i rev the shit outa my car like 7.5 to 8K by second gear ive just touched 100KPH if that helps refrence anything also i am running a 3.9 ratio. Also i dnt think my VVTi is working i took out the plug and put out the same power i dnt feel a change in the reves either when it was pluged in.

Ur help would be much appretiated!!

nope, sounds about right there just gutless thats all :greenbounce:

[stefan]

plug in the vvti it will make motr run better

and change ur diff ratio to a 4.3

ull notice the difference alot

and get a lightened fly wheel

they you should be happy


and maybe a new ecu too

hey the info you have supplied has nothing to do with power..... all your giving is revs of engine compared to final drive speed at the tyres.... power would be more comparable in regards to HOW it gets there...

if its a silver top you should have a definate kick at about 4grand ( i think thats the cross over, i could be wrong but on silver tops its a fixed value)

Check basics like ignition timing, spark plugs, lead, coil etc....

Retarded ignition timing will not the power out of a 20v....

[AE86_4life]

Sorry 4 tha lack of info Guys but i should also mention I have an aftermarket lightent flywheel TODA on i belive, I also am running a A freedom ECU with individual coils. So fixing things like ign timing isnt as easy as rotating a dizzy lol but Thanx alot guys for the help

I was concerned about this too... mines using stock everything but running a little rich. been getting a mate to time me on the freeway, i get on average between 7 and 8 seconds zero to a hundred. i can't get it any better then that.... i hope mines at least close to being a good 20v st.

Friend of mine was complaining about lacking performance out of his 20v ae82 also... Ended up doing one of them 'tee-kay' tests and found combustion gases in the cooling system.

Headgasket :rolleyes:

Just a thought.

[rthy]

is that you Anton?

is that your engine in your avatar pic? if so you need some trumpets and a tune on that ecu, most likely a change of ecu all together

i was very pleased with the power of my 20v

i have a w58 and 4.1:1 diff ratio and i will get around the 120 mark out of 2nd and 190ish out of 3rd if that helps at all, engine is stock with microtech and trd 0.5mm HG

[rthy]

how hard do you rev it brendon?

[dr1ft-pig]

7900 is limiter

speedo is prob out a lil bit but speedo says 190 so would be 180 ish i think

Stock speedo eh. you really think it does 190 in third with a 4.1? I thought my blacktop did 170 in third and then i fitted a digital speed sensor and adaptronic vidigauge and its more like 145. Stock speedos are way off after 20 yrs plus.

don't forget the gearbox he is using

true, still wouldn't be 190, if it says 190, i reckon its maybe 170 in reality.

[rthy]

no argument there

[dr1ft-pig]

hey its timmay on brendans profile he upstairs someware gettin drinks.. i would say it is round 180 ay the speed we passed people at on the highway at wen they were doin like 110 we left them like they were standin still ay.. however i ahve drink aloot in my gob dere hehehehehehe

[AE86_4life]

thanx guys and Brenadan that 20v sounds bloody awsome 120 in second i can just make 100 changing at 7600-7900 but i am running the 3.9 but thats not a big differnce to urs. I kept up with one of those new VTiR preludes and i took off crap, i was pleased

[dr1ft-pig]

remeber i have alot different gearing to you so its kind of expected

IMO opinion you should have a w series box behind a 20v anyway as a t50 is weak as piss and if you want to have any fun with it, itll just break
i broke one with a 16v and that was a jap one too

[rthy]

all relative to driving style brendon, people have had T50 gearboxes running behind 4age turbo engines for quite a while. If fun is dropping the clutch regually then I agree with you
