Can we squeeze more BHP from this smokey Daihatsu?

Jon of Autoshananigans has just recommissioned his BMW V8. Does he know something we don't?

[@tomwinch9107]

It might have a fair bit of power - will Kitch dyno an S reg BMW 735i soon?

[@tomwinch9107]

Can Kitch's dyno measure automatics ... Do you need to put in the clutch to get the rollers slowing down as part of the measurement?

[@sjcuk]

@tomwinch9107 I never thought of that. It's not really in the Hubnut/Up&Down category either. We'll see.

[@stephandolby]

Bella's new MAF sensor may elevate it a bit, and while that may still not return it back to "full" "power" (I wasn't sure which to pop in ""), you'd at least hope it was above its current position.

[@ashleyjarvis954]

Truly fascinating! Keep at it 👍

[@mikeallan7814]

So quite impressive performance for a 1.0 l car !!!

[@HowardLeVert]

Really enjoyed geeking out to that!! Also have to say, "Yaris from Wish" had me spit my Pepsi out... the 1.0 engine on what is now my ex-Yaris is a four cylinder version, 1SZ-FE (I think); it didn't smoke at 150,000 miles but it had begun to make "I am tired of this life..." noises. So that, and having terminal rear-end rot means it's going on the Bay for bits...

[@ferrumignis]

Love this video! I'll watch any amount of old bangers being thrashed on a dyno by a Citroen nerd with a great sense of humour 👍

[@Space_Reptile]

no longer smoking? i guess its out of oil

[@Lasercapri]

I enjoyed that as it’s interesting what little things we do to our cars make difference in performance 😂😂😂 keep up the good work

[@lesklower7281]

I really enjoy your references to Bella can you beat Hubnut and it really good to see the Daihatsu Sirion has stopped smoking because of potions and the Sirion nearly got there but did improve with the spark plug replacement and you are the only you tube channel that does dyno runs with ordinary cars the ones people daily drive

[@Fubar_The_WEF]

I own a first gen Sirion. The take away from this is if I want to improve the real world usable power I should fit a free flowing air filter. Like a DNA or K&N. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful.

[@UPnDOWN]

Think they have a different engine?

[@Fubar_The_WEF]

@@UPnDOWN Good point! I think they went to Gen II in 2005, maybe?

[@UPnDOWN]

Gen II? I'm not sure what that is, but this 1KR-FE engine went into this shape Sirion and replaced the one before it (the same engine as HubNut's Charade - EJ I think?)

[@Fubar_The_WEF]

@@UPnDOWN As I understand it there were two generations of the Sirion: the M100 (mine) and the M300 (yours). I wonder what happened to the M200? I think mine has the EJ-DE engine or maybe EJ-FE. How can you tell if the engine has VVT? I believe some did and some didn't.

[@Jamesthesnail]

I like to call this the daihatsu sirloin.

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

“Magnetic Aluminium” sounds like something Lord Percy would try to invent in Blackadder II…..

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Temu Yaris. I have heard that small toyotas can respond well to pcv valves an they are also pretty cheap.

[@JakeH_530]

I’ve heard side gapping a plug add hp. Not entirely sure if it’s possible but you have a dyno and your testing 😊

[@xbodyrocker]

love the power runs i had a mk1 peugeot 106 1.4 and put a decat pipe on it it went to 81hp and 99flbs torque

[@Klutch58Customs]

Bit of fine mesh on the throttle body held on with a jubilee clip! Good to go. Just avoid the storm eh? Them little Toyota 3 pots can be surprisingly under quoted. I had a Aygo show 77.5 on a Dyno with no more than cleaned injectors, a good service, a cheap universal BMC airbox and three foot of flexible ducting . Unfortunately I never had a 'before' reading so no Idea if I had a good motor from the box. I'm tempted to buy another one and shelter from the storm with a Dremel porting/ polishing the head. You can have first Dyno dibs if you want!!

[@Nino500]

I love screaming the t*ts off my Sirion but it is doing a bit of that smokey stuff so I need to go back to the potions video and work out what to pour in mine. Any idea what made the most difference? I'm guessing the Seafoam in the bores? No, she's not a great handler but surprisingly smooth ride for a small car!

[@UPnDOWN]

I think the Engine Restore probably, but I can't say as I did both!

[@Madpegasusmax]

BX :D ... Daihatsu is a very good JDM manufacturer that makes small cars ,the sirion is not pretty for me, but you must try on the dyno one YRV (looks like a later mitsubishi colt) Turbo, but bare in mind that some of them are 4WD ...

[@iangrice329]

Beat Bella 😂😂😂 she's fixed now.

[@Nino500]

You could try an induction kit?

[@UPnDOWN]

I'm not *that* bothered haha!

[@StephenJones-m9h]

Remap should be 68 to 75hp on average and with k&n panel filter should be around 78. Then back box may allow to creep to 79 ish. City car cup spec is around 79 if I remember. Our Peugeot 107 has a different style airbox on same engine however. We have just a trumpet on the end of the box and not the snorkel. Wonder if that would make a difference as it’s a factory change…

[@Mickhanic-garage]

Please one day move the number plate up a bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Waiting to see the results of the Dyno..

[@UPnDOWN]

Would it floor you to learn that it's actually in the right place. I've checked behind it!

[@Mickhanic-garage]

@UPnDOWN Oh dear 🤣🤣

[@marcusaurelius9886]

Do you have stuff to do remaps/tunes? Would love to see what you can get out of a basic n/a engine, your already getting mad gains

[@UPnDOWN]

No, nothing like that sadly.

[@SteveDull]

So 35 mins to share that driving normally, revving to 3/4000, they're exactly the same power output, filter/filter box in or (don't do it) out. Just keep up with the service items. Nice. Snow foam gets a 👍

[@chrisschofield-te4hi]

Bella is happier so may come and retake the lead😂

[@tichwykes]

Bella has had a new Maf sensor fitted & its driving better now so maybe all to play for lol, maybe stupid bloks (Tim) would bring the shitter down for a run

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I’d love to, but I’m MIIIILLLEESS away 😞

[@tichwykes]

Shame but then that would be a hell of a trip in a C1 I'm guessing. Still good to know that all the potions worked & stopped it form smoking so that's a result.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@tichwykes yea mine has pretty much stopped smoking, and did gain a bit of compression. It’s using far less oil too! There’s a video on my channel of it if you’re interested in that type of thing

[@johnbelwell2461]

A suggestion is to next time take the wheel covers off, you don't want those go flying around in there 😂😂😂

[@Zadster]

That torque step at 3000-3200rpm is a bit odd. A bit like V6 Duratecs opening secondary throttles. I've never run an engine with the airbox off - should the cranckcase vent chuck out so much oil vapour? That would infer quite a bit of gas bypassing the rings. If you need a bit more power, maybe a gearbox oil change?

[@Sid3300]

I’ll be along at some point to claim top Daihatsu spot 😜

[@stephenmorrish]

We need more nerdery!

[@Simonicusmaximus]

Best to do as std vs non std I think on both. 😊 g Glad you are trying it with new plugs, be good to see what difference it makes with 99 octane too 😀

[@darrenwilson8042]

btw -has anyone worked out why this 3cyl engine when in a Daihatsu smokes so much with higher mileages but doesn't seem to do so in the 3 City Bugs that use it?

[@UPnDOWN]

Apparently it does

[@jamesward5721]

These ickle Daihatsusus suffer much the same as all the toyota engins - oil burning/smoking. Most of it stems from the PCV system - it blocks. This is also a huge problem for lots of other makes - I'm looking at you, recent year Fords... PCV blocks, engine pressurises itself, oil burning ensues. Replace the PCV/rocker cover. Thank me laterz.

Panel filter would be marginal at best. Full induction kit might unleash 1bhp!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

This sounds like a perfect candidate.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

You can put a cone aritfilter with out the restrictor pipe and drive it on the road.

[@Zadster]

That would need a cold air inlet too, otherwise you are drawing in hot air, which is less dense. Whilst it would make the high speed power better, It might also make the low-down torque worse.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@Zadster Yes absolutely since it's is an N/A car. But it may still be better than the restrictive airbox even wihtout the CAI.
