High Performance Academy was formed as a single place where budding and experienced engine builders, wiring gurus and tuners alike can develop their skills and knowledge from anywhere in the world.
The majority of FA20 failures I’ve seen have been due to rod bearing failures, which people speculate comes from oil starvation. Do you guys have any other possible causes for these failures, or tips on oiling to help prevent this?
Nikasil bores cost more that a basic cast liner, motorcycles use them as they take a lot more abuse from high revving engines....It's a type of chrome plating.
first one hear Andre ,i baught the engine building course from you guys and have to say your a great teacher will be looking foward to futhering my courses with you all when i build some cash again to spare,nice to be here ,quick question off topic ,can you bypass an elecronic turbo actuator on a toyota 1kd ftv engine? from the hilux n70
Thanks YT Algorithm! I have no interest in building a GTR, but this guy knows his customers and makes too much sense! The interviewer knows his stuff too! I enjoyed this as an engine nerd! I do love a straight 6, though. Wish the Barra was common in the US. Cheers from the USA!
Brother, you have an incredible talent for making the audience see whether the person you're interviewing is truly knowledgeable or not. Especially in that video where you interviewed the engineer from the company that combined two Hayabusa engines to create the Hayabusa V8. Your questions really showed their expertise and gave us such valuable insight. Keep up the great work!
Another awesome podcast. Now catching up with the ones I've missed, so much useful information and knowledge in these casts! Keep it up and thanks HPA ✌🏻.
Ok, now have the phone app link up to an AI API, load all the maps and logs into AI, AI analyzes and creates new maps. Then phone app makes regular calls out to AI to keep fine tuning the tune, using logs. An ongoing road tune that adapts to conditions.
MaxxECU is a incredible ECU versatile and good prices. I think that is the best option! Their software Mtune is clear and you can do almost everything that you want with custom tables and internal output. Have many options that only the expensive ECU has.
So well explained. Max mechanical advantage at 16-18 degrees after TDC. Easy to imagine pressing down hard on pedals of bicycle. If pedal at top of stroke, or even just after, most of your force is just wasted into bike frame. Push hard too late, you don't get much bang for your foot. We can just imagine that magic spot when pedaling we should press hardest. About 17 degrees past pedal TDC! Then knowing flame propagation for a given fuel density is same at all rpm, clear you need more advance at higher rpm, as well as more advance for less density (light throttle).
