JKM Dyno-Day - Saturday 27th October....
Statller-Stevo:
Understood , but think of this as a demo of what can be done with a bone stock K04 motor, specific hardware and a well developed custom tune for that hardware.
I would imagine Nick can easily tune chassis specific for 2WD or 4WD , this however was a show of out + out grunt & power on JKM's famous 'low reader' and I believe it has opened some eyes very wide so good for them!
Janner_Sy:
ah, i didnt realise this was a one off 'look at what can be done' setup.
Impressive though.
RedRobin:
^^^^
When on the same day, a completely stock Mk5 GTI plots 199 bhp and a completely stock Ed30 plots 229 bhp, surely that doesn't indicate that JKM's Dyno-Dynamics is a "low reader" but suggests that SOME others around the country might be biassed as 'high readers'. Though of course, conditions vary every day and generally rolling-road sessions are only a snapshot at the time.
No-one wants to take away how clever Nick at R-Tech has been but the plots on James' car are very extreme. A conversion to '4WD' has been mentioned, surely for improved driveability reasons.
If, on this occasion, Statller/R-Tech's dyno numbers match with JKM's on the same car, then that is at least reassuring to all concerned. :happy2:

James has all the bits for the 4WD conversion at home :wink:
When I was out on the passenger ride, James explained how drivable it is with the linear map (the "tabletop" like power curve suggests this isnt a "peaky" power delivery), combined with the response of the K04, although you can't fully utilise WOT until doing motorway speeds, its smooth and drivable around town (although his paddle clutch is a bit hardcore :grin:).
Nick has used James's as a development car, but could re-create the setup on anone elses :happy2:
Surely this setup is a great alternative to a hybrid K04, and fills the gap in the market between standard K04 setup and LOBA?

Sorry Sy... misunderstood... easily done on the interwebs!
