I had my rb20 dynoed on friday
SPEC . std kit matched to casings and manifolds,Readspeed head, JL3, tmx35, 17deg timing and 4.8 final ratio

Whats the cause of the flat spot around 5200 rpm? is it the tmx?
I had a 30mm phbh on it before i swapped to the tmx i haven`t noticed much of a difference except in fuel consumption :shock: it wasdoing about 75 miles per std tank :D now abut 45m :( so im on the look out for a 30mm flatslide.
When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !

prob becouse of the 4.8 final drive the nk wouldnt have much tourqu low down and hittin a head wind would slow you down or make you change down a gear

What jetting are you running, and what was your Air/Fuel graph like? Did Readspeed discuss lean/rich spots with you or what jetting changes could be made? Top end power after the peak seems a bit rough, any further info?

Just to state that as far as I know Jerome's dyno was 'back calculated' to the crank. So if this is still the case (and it does say engine power on graph) it would be a few hp less than stated if it was run on a more conventional rear wheel reading dyno as per scootering article and comparison. But even say 16 bolt on is good from this cc.. nice one.

Nice to see a Dyno with this specs, i am thinking to do something similar, but with the AF std head and a 5.0 gearbox ratio.
With 4.8 ratio at 8600rpm the speed is 90mph or not?
