kpr Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 due to lack of free dyno time these days, artists impression of new power curve Quote
D1 Keisuke Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 You were driving awesome man! What made you leave early though? Quote

drivekp60 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 nice driving. nothing better than a sliding kp. Quote
sentra Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 woah!! that much performance on a little motor should not be possible without force feeding????? Quote
mikuni Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 sounds perfect. exceptional driving too, good work man. Quote
ms123crownpimpmobile Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 hell yes!this is the toughest starlet getting sweet angle out there bro mean Quote
kpr Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 sweet, was pretty stoked how it went. anyway, almost time to let someone else have a burn on this thing. as front ride height suggests, ive already robbed parts for the white whale on the right Quote
mikuni Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Any chance you can make up an extra 4 inserts for the throttles to round them? I've been trying to figure out what to do with these stupid blacktop throttles for ages.. haha Quote
kpr Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 haha. yeh could do man, gotta see what material is available. hopefully don't have to go to a solid round. plan was to lathe the outlet of the throttle round. then spin up insert that probably presses in. sounds like the hard way to do it. but i'd rather keep the rest of the throttle factory, than machine out st throttles to take the blacktop plate. will hit up ulrich catalog shortly see whats available Quote
mikuni Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 That makes sense. Only idea I had come up with was to use a resin or something to fill the kidney shape, then machine it back to perfectly round. My idea would be shit if the resin doesn't hold and gets sucked into a port though I didn't realise machine the throttle first is required. Maybe I'll just flag and continue trying to bodge something up/not do anything and just deal with a crappy intake manifold with a sweet flat spot. Quote
kpr Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 i actually filled one of mine with devcon awhile back. was gonna machine it out, as you say. but decided against that idea. looks like can get a 50mm x4 or 50mm x6 tube. either would work and wouldn't need much machining. but thats if they have it / will only sell 5m length. if can get hold of something like that shouldn't be too much work Quote
kpr Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 got some of that tube. was damn expensive. insert is pressed in just gotta machine it. Quote
nothingsfree Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 This is sweet! What size does the ID end up?? Was looking at machining mine out, but looks like this is the better option.. Quote
kpr Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 machined the throttles back to the 45mm part. which was about 11mm from exit. then machine insert on 1 degree taper back to the exit. i think they ended up around 44mm at exit. maybe a little bigger. i cant remember! you could make them what ever size you like though. stuff i used for insert was 50 x 6mm, so 38mm id.
