hello
we have seen this in the past, but what we have also seen is "non comparable results"
that is - a car makes a given power in RWKW vs another car in RWKW and we assume both cars are same & dyno settings
the dyno sheeet says its RWKW, says its blah blah mode etc etc etc so the guy must have made 150rwkw surely - the sheet says so
so you compare this to your car and you make say 50rwkw and the other guy makes 150rwkw
what is a likely scenario is one or more of the following;
1) mangled dyno settings
- wrong mode set, wrong ramp rate, wrong car selected, mangled correction on the dyno
2) mangled dyno environment
- temp sensor in wrong spot, rollers mangled, fan mangled, different temperature (without correction)
3) different diff gears
- higher or lower
4) different ratios in the gearbox
- higher or lower
5) dynoed in different method
- shootout vs non shoutout
- engine dyno
- hub dyno
6) different fuel used
- could be 98, could be 100, could be 110, could be 130+
when i saw wrong ,as in when you compare A and B cars they arent the same
ie if you dyno a bog stockish GTST in 3rd gear you get around 180rwkw ish
we all know a GTST in 4th gear makes around 140rwkw - but the guy has more bragging rights cos he made more
is it right? probably not
but the paper says 180rwkw so he has to be correct
theres more to it than the dyno sheet - and the owner usually doesnt let on to all the of the mods, i mean, the might not remember all the mods etc?
