I just took Scooby back from Ah Chai today. She has new throttle body, induction hose, fuel pumps and new brain. Ah Chai also changed few old worn out parts as well which is due to be replaced. But the best part is her new brain.
Ken from Edge Tuning - Singapore (turn out he is Malaysian - talking about brain drain) came down and brought Scooby's new brain. After some wiring work, he tuned Scooby to the max. According to him, my engine is still good thus the numbers are on the high side for a standard Rex (that's what they call Scooby in other country)
My dyno chart showed 228bhp at wheel. It may not looked much but that is an increase of about 50horses from standard (25% hp increase). This also translate to 270-280bhp at flywheel. Wah! I am impressed.
I am a bit worried cause the exhaust sound louder a bit and there is smoke coming out from exhaust. The guy said the smoke is temporary. I hope so.
I drove it out and the first straight road I see...pedal to the metal lar. Damn, the car accelerate faster and it feels lighter. The torque started somewhere around 3500 rpm. There is a lot of difference. He he he ........... I love it.
I am happy but very much poorer. This is probably the last significant mod I am going to do. It is getting to be a very very expensive passion.
