Damn, thinking about .216s now...

sportsguy · Oct 13, 2006

Thought popped into my head this morning that it might be a nice bump to upgrade from the .205 nozzles to .216s. brian has them, they're reasonably priced, so what the heck - tempt fate and my clutch while I'm at it...

So, would I even notice a difference in power jumping to the .216s from the .205s?

skenny · Oct 13, 2006

I think we'd probably see a slight increase in power, nothing major.. and I think you'd be able to run the .216s without needing a new clutch too.

sportsguy · Oct 13, 2006

I posted the same thought over in the performance section.

One guy said I might not even be using my current .205s to their full potential without ECU tuning - and he might be onto something there...

Slave2school · Oct 13, 2006

Yeah and what is your IQ set at?

Find out what he was referring to...

(BTW, I was playing with your wiper tranny today. I have good news and bad news. Good news, I freed up one side beautifuly...works like new. Bad news, The other side is still solid...and broken in half. Damn white metal.)

Slave2school · Oct 13, 2006

Jeff you have to be gentle with the Trannies. Regarding the tuning, you need to lower the IQ, and/or install an evry mod otherwise you aren't using them to the full potential at all (that would be changed with a chip of course). As it stands there is a bit more fuel flowing, going in in a shorter duration with the larger holes.

If you mess with the IQ, you'll likely smoke more than you would like, till you crank up the boost via map bleed, tuing, 3bar map (not on vnt-15).

sportsguy · Oct 13, 2006

BAH! You're all a bunch of hacks!

Jeff - I'm not sweating the tranny...LOL Brian sells them for $73.50, so it's a consumable in my book.

Jon - meh, I'll just tell someone what i want when I ship the ecu and go from there.

Slave2school · Oct 30, 2006

Hey I got my 216's in baby! Less smoke than before, slight bump in power (only driven them about 20km though). The 12mm pump really likes the larger holes since it can inject the fuel in a shorter duration whahahahaa.

sportsguy · Oct 31, 2006

I'm over it all now - I'm searching for a moped or scooter...

Slave2school · Oct 31, 2006

lol. I was thinking about that in the spring too! http://www.mrmoped.ca/ seems to have the best prices going and Tomos mopeds aren't too bad either. A bit less dough than a Vespa! However for some reason the products part of the page isn't working now that they've updated. Since the laws have all changed lately you also need a motorcycle liscence here so I've mostly forgotten about it since it won't let me take the kids with me anyway...wait...

sportsguy · Oct 31, 2006

Already have the license - just need the whip...

Slave2school · Oct 31, 2006

Oh by "you" I meant me needing the license, not a bad thing to have either but for a 50CC moped I'm having a hard time going to the bother.

sportsguy · Oct 31, 2006

I understood your meaning.

...and I can fully understand why it isn't worth the bother.

But, Honda makes a 250CC unit called the Big Ruckus - tough-looking, good specs and might make it worth getting that "A" next to the "5" on your current lisence.

Slave2school · Oct 31, 2006

I like some of the larger scooters that are nice indeed. There are several of them running around the base here (or were) I think there was one fellow with a 500cc scooter, really nice and fast too.

pozi240 · Oct 31, 2006

Honda and Suzuki both make 650cc large "scooters", that look almost like small "Gold Wing" type cruisers coming at you on the highway..........and they are not cheap neither!

sportsguy · Oct 31, 2006

Silver Wing - $8K USD - 582cc parallel twin efi engines - auto tranny and comfort to spare.

Less of a scooter, more of a motorcycle. Very drool worthy, but I saw a guy on one last month, and through, 'Man, guess his wife wouldn't let him have a bike..."

just had .216`s installed in my 99.5 a4...what a difference!!! just wondering, does anyone know the hp and torque increase that i`m enjoying now?

BMac · Oct 31, 2006

Why not go all the way and get a GSX-R etc.... That will get your blood flowing. Being a former Biker I just don't get the moped thing.

A GSXR 750 should be on my plate come the spring. We'll have to go for a ride.

Not sure of the exact numbers but they're definetly high enough to warrant a new clutch before long!

Drive it like you stole it!

sportsguy · Nov 1, 2006

I might snag a Vespa this spring...

...or a V-Max...not sure yet...

Slave2school · Nov 4, 2006

Guys quick update: the .216's are getting stonger and stronger the more I drive

Not smokey at all just a light haze with the evry mod on

Mike Morriss · Nov 21, 2006

So. . . what kind of mileage can one expect with .216 nozzles?

Slave2school · Nov 22, 2006

The same or slightly better than before actually. Just don't cane it all the itme and there will be no change since it won't decrease steady state cruising.

On my this tank with one trip to Halifax and back ~3hr round trip and lots of putzing around town here I'm at 550km@1/2 tank (mines an auto too and I have agressive winter tires etc). Not any change from when I just had .205's except more power when I want it.

Damn, thinking about .216s now...
