Not a win exactly, but impressive

yeh ive herd of the specs and seen that article before. but just wanna hear things, ya know get a convo going and then more mighty boy owners may possibly get more modivation and knock back those comments like ha! a mighty boy no chance against my 2.0ltr RX or something like that.
Its other peoples experience and adice/articles that give me my modivation. Brayden is the one that basically made me want to buy a mighty boy and then colin and edave made me want the speed.

Cheers, its also kool to keep a forum like this going aint it?

what evers next to me at the lights
theres not many 4 cyl cars that are as quick as the esky
1/2 the 6 cyl cars are slow too
and have blown off my mates worked 253 vc wagon a few times

For some reason this myd-80y goes alot harder than the first 1 i tested which claimed to be a 800cc also. do you reckon its the fuel im using lol 98octane?.

*lol* No Scott, 98RON fuel won't give you rocket-power. In fact, in my experience 98RON fuel will actually give you less power than say 95RON fuel in an unmodified F5A / F8B engine because the burn rate is so much slower than the 92RON fuel it was designed to run on, and the engine has too low a compression ratio to really take advantage of it. You can pick this because you can advance the ignition timing to the point where you're losing power through very early ignition without suffering any detonation.

If that's the same engine the Chris built up for MYD-80Y several years ago then I recall him saying that he had a Stage 2 cam machined up for it. It certainly seemed to go alright when I drove it. But those plates and that car have changed hands a few times since then, I have no idea whether that's the same engine or not...

...and have blown off my mates worked 253 vc wagon a few times

Ha ha! And therein lies the problem!

dam loosing power.? but i thought 98oct was better for your vehicle? yer its got stage 2cam and 1 3/4 exhaust i want to get a k&n filter but how do i get a fitting for a mighty boy? (im going to liverpool tonight let you's know how i go when i pull up at the lights ).

[Josh]

98 RON fuel can assist in the production of more power and better overall fuel economy in an engine built to take advantage of it, but at best in an unmodified F5A / F8B you're going to get a little less bang for your buck for the reasons outlined in my last post.

A lot of the "98 RON fuel is better for your car" hype really refers to the additives put in the fuel by manufacturers - Shell and their product Optimax in particular. Many here and elsewhere will attest to the additives causing them grief and that the fuel products containing them are to be avoided.


The appropriate K&N filter to suit the standard Suzuki MightyBoy air intake is K&N Part No. E-2570

hey man i just wanted to post that i just took on a honda gsr 1.6ltr civic hatch from like late 90's and munched it from take off all the way up to about 65k's it slowly caught up but i still munched it by a good 5metres i was full proud the civic was an auto everyone that saw it loved it i was lieeek yeeeeh mighty boooooy!

also josh thanks for the info on the fuel and thanks for the filter number going into super cheap auto now! or should i go somewhere else?

[Josh]

Super Cheap Auto will order it in for you for about the same that anyone else will...

[Munchskinman]

does f8b count as the stanard mighty boy air intake also?

[Josh]

I believe that F5A and F8B have the same intake assembly and accept the same filter type.

Could somebody else please confirm?

[Colin]

the air filter units are the same the carburettors and inlet manifolds are different

[Josh]

Tops.

I'd like to know what magic ingredient can get an N/A MB to keep up with an 85kw Corolla - I tried running a 1.6 'rolla sedan once and got raped at about 90kph when I ran out of puff in third. (and we all know that there is NO torque in 4th)

Very ture......4th is dead.....
I dragged my Hatch with a friends hatch [both stock!!!] over a km, i won!!!!
Ive also raced red light to red light with a 2000 Alto and won......

not a very long list....but it'll get long some day!!!!
