is 140 RWKW good??

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 04:33 PM

is 140 RWKW good for a 4.0 (au engine) ea gl falcon and what would be a good thing for more power other than a turbo??? non turbo, balanced engine, flat top pistons, 2 1/2 inch extractors, exhaust, UNICHIP, WADE cam

Gunns · 06-05-2005, 04:42 PM

So you have 140rwkw or you want 140rwkw?

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 04:47 PM

i have 140, want more.........

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 04:51 PM

Depends on the dyno. I have seen a standard eb pull 130rwkw (needless to say I dont use that dyno).

what mods do you have now?

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 04:54 PM

all those ones i just wrote

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:00 PM

What wade cam?

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:03 PM

im not sure. I bought the car like this and i just want to know if he buggered up doin gall this stuff

santoitaliano · 06-05-2005, 05:08 PM

140's pretty good... stock standard on a pretty accurate dyno will probably only pull round the 100 mark maybe..

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:09 PM

140 is a good result. is it a manual or auto? Dont suppose you have taken it down the 1/4 mile

The cam is probably a variation of the 1004. How is the idle quality?

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:16 PM

hahahaha idle what is idle??? joking lets just say when cold there is no such thing as idle practically but when warm it idles pretty well but still revs up and down every so often, its a manual 5sp. I only just got the car (not even registered yet, RTA is giving me the run around) but the old owner got it to low 14s i dont exact time but its legit

santoitaliano · 06-05-2005, 05:19 PM

hrmm low 14's for 140 sounds a bit to quick.. mayb high 14's... what dif ratio it running?

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:20 PM

I would guess it would be a 1004-110. Maybe a 1521a - they both idle similar.

bugger the 140rwkw, a low 14s pass is good!

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:28 PM

wait no just re read my info, it ran 14.6@99 mph auto, gonna try it again manual soon i hope, doesnt say the diff ratio but compression is 9.8:1 and rebuilt LSD with 3.9 gears, man im so lost over what the hell some of this shit means

santoitaliano · 06-05-2005, 05:29 PM

it is good for n/a i6.. thas for sure..

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:33 PM

diff ratio is 3.9 then

14.6 sounds about right for 140rwkw, 99mph is very high though

santoitaliano · 06-05-2005, 05:39 PM

14.6 is more realistic than low 14's.. still a great time esp. with auto.. 3.9's help..

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:42 PM

ok cool, any ideas how to get even more power other than a blower???

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:44 PM

headwork, bigger cam, NOS

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:48 PM

head work as in polished?? or stroker kit?? i dont know much about doing up cars but im hoping to get right into it. NOS is 3 letters im gonna try stay away from just so i can stay alive for a little longer.....

stockstandard · 06-05-2005, 05:51 PM

No strokers - the 4.0L are already stroked to hell

headwork - port the intake, and port and polish the exhaust ports. The AU head already has good valves so you doent need to touch them.

ilsautomotive · 06-05-2005, 05:52 PM

Sounds like a nice package for sure! I'd focus on making sure all the details are up to scratch - eg are thermofans fitted? Is the diff ratio optimal? Can you do better with the cam or extractors? etc etc. You won't find any magic N/A mod that will slash a second off your time or anything like that.

Valknutr · 06-05-2005, 05:53 PM

yeah its got twin thermal fans, i wish there was a "make quick" button (other than NOS and accelerator) that i could press. Is it menat to rev up and down when it is idling?? or is that something i should get fixed?? im talking ony about 100 revs up then down

neb · 06-05-2005, 06:18 PM

the reving up and down is normal for that cam

santoitaliano · 06-05-2005, 07:09 PM

my cam is very very mild and i get up to a 400rev difference in idle.. anywhere from 700-1100

jonbays · 06-05-2005, 07:18 PM

140rwkw is good its about what you can get with a good modded I6 Without headwork and serious cam.

This power output should put your 400m TS at around 94mph though.

mcflux · 06-05-2005, 09:22 PM

Two words: Jim Mock!

Although considering the serious stuff that's been done to your (sweet sounding) EA, seeing him probably isn't really worth all the $$$ for a DEV5 motor.

sphell · 06-05-2005, 11:53 PM

140 sounds about right. i had 144kw with stock bottom end, svo head, extractors exhaust, unichip and wade 1004 cam. If u want more power maybe port the head.

EFFalcon · 07-05-2005, 01:37 AM

My guess is the car was 1/4 miled with a gtech, that'd explain the high MPH.
the 14.6 time sounds like it could be fairly accurate though.

If you have still got the auto ECU, it is possibly your problem with the rpm hunting.
Mine now idles dead flat after I got a manual ECU.

Sox · 07-05-2005, 10:48 AM

The idle shouldn't hunt up and down even a little.
The mph is far to high for 'only' 140rwkw (which is actually very good), I would guess more like 93-95mph for that power figure.

As someone else said, porting and an increase in CR will gain another 5-10kw.

Next would be a bigger cam, such as a DEV5 or equivalent.
