don't have dyno sheets with me but will check them out with interest soon...

You might find that the dyno chart just shows the power curve and the air/fuel ratio. Usually that's all that they show...

as you say babs - the last two dyno sheets show power curve & air/fuel ratio on y axis with kph on x axis. as the mods were done in steps i have a couple of other dyno sheets interstate which i'll have a look at shortly. btw, in the spirit of transparency, i forgot to mention unichip was tuned for 98 octane. thanks to all for comments on the car & mods.

175hp is very strong for a 1.6. It would probably not idle very well and be a bit of a pig on the street though. Plus, there's probably no where left to go on that motor. My 1.8 does about 200hp at the fly but there's more power to come from it as I get it properly setup this season. Might be a fun thing in a road car though - probably not for daily driving!

bumping up a fossil thread.

i hope to have some maximworks headers and a new metal cat in the mix by the end of this year, meaning i will have a full exhaust and intake system on my car. i'm looking for some more power + torque without having to touch the internals, so the next step must be an ECU.

there doesn't look like there are too many ecu's on the market that can play around with the vvt. from what i recall, maruha ecu, hydra nemesis, haltech e8, motec and the old SP motorsport ecu were capable of this. i don't want to sell my liver to get an ECU (or a piggyback, more particularly). i had my eye on the SP motorsport (as it was the most affordable and did what i really needed) but it looks like the tuner is getting more ill so if it is tuned now and there is a stuff up later on down the track, i'd be having some dramas because there's no one else that can tune it.

what ecu's do nb8b owners have out there?
