Newsletter No 30

15 March 2006

 

G’day to yall

 

I had a Land Cruiser 3F come to me for a performance Exhaust system and K&N.

It has been long since I have last seen such a performance increase !

The dotted lines are the before run while he red is Kw (Din) and the Yellow is Torque with the purple being CO emissions.

A day later I did a tune up on another FJ 62 and found it lacking 15 Kw because stage 2 on his carb did not open.  As mentioned in my last Newsletter a Dyno is a Tool, no more. 

I just Unichipped a Corsa and the owner was highly upset that I could not “tune in” 20 or so more Kw.

When is this going to stop ?

 

 

Somebody recently asked me whether I could not look at his Chevota and help it make more power. When I asked how much he was willing to spend, I got a quizzical look. He had proudly rebuilt said motor on his own, and now it was lacking in power. Well there is a right way to build these motors taking the myriad of head, bore, stroke, cam induction and exhaust systems into account. Properly built it should not leak oil either.

I am thinking along these lines “If I sell all my v8 parts to another shop, then I can just refer these people further”. Let’s face it, I have to sell my knowledge to feed my dependants (Bandito, Rindspimmel and Pumuck’l).

 

I will take leave from 17 to 27 March.

During this time my sales will remain open, while the workshop is closed.

I recently got 7.4Km/L on the 3L Colt while checking out our beautiful countryside.

 

Recently we test drove Revolutions in 58 Calcium str. Between Beitels steel works and Modular Kitchens Tel 233972

They don't have a great menu but their fare is excellent and their ambience...    well lets say different.

A lot of people come to me for free advice, now they can get it provided they sponsor the meal.

 

My whole website has been slightly re-arranged.

Erratum            In my last Newsletter I forgot to insert the picture of the inner workings of the Dyno, but if you click on it then it will open on my website.
