winning or not, wasnt the issue,

i wan to see the mods i added improved by how much.

hence the future mods as well.

the readout figure i can not relate to anything,

that is my frustration.

ps.

sorry for bragging,

i'll stop now! :P

and not sure how the dyno reading can be out when everyone else was getting less than expected figures or close to expected! maybe something happened later in the day?

not sure why everyone is getting worked up? it was a fun day!!! and i'm sure ben was feeling pressured to get all those cars off and on! its not like its a proper tune!! so why is everyone hassling?!

either way.. thanks to adam, charlie, jas25t and steve for the day :P was good fun!!!

Moanie. Go and have a look at the previous posts or just postwhore somewhere else please.

The point is that not everyone is happy, and not everyone was up against "Mr Stock".

Enjoy!

if anyone is after an accurate power figure they are best to go to WSID and go by MPH or put their engine on an engine dyno... a chassis dyno is really only a tuning tool which has way to many variables that can affect the readout.... just losely strapping a car has yealded an extra 30rwkw, changing wheels has made near the same so i wouldnt be to stressed by differing read outs

A great day none the less and was great to catch up with quite a few people. Cant wait for the next event :P

oh, :)

maybe i expected too much out of a dyno run,

that is it.

calder time :P

woh, got a bit heated in here.. wasnt it ment to be a fun day? not a, "im gona beat u and if i dont, its a dodgy dyno" or sumthing.. settle down a lil ppl.. fun day.. not a comp. i had fun for sure as did many others.

Fair enough. Well put but......

You arrived after the event. I hope you enjoy the next event as much as this one (30 minutes).

its cool now,

my lack of knowledges, thinking that dyno run will tell me the exact power figure of the car. (wanted to know so bad, the mods i did)

until IDO09S shead some lights, :P

so yea, :)

I thought it was meant to be fun but Adrian made it a big deal to my Son, when he said that he will get 206rwkw (to beat my Wife's 205rwkw).

He said he wanted to make sure that he took home the trophy that he had asked to be "shined up" for him.

woah!!! i didn't realise that my comments which are on topic equate to postwhoring! i keep that to the relevant threads!!

who is mr stock?

and yes.. i see that not everyone is happy.. i'm just saying that there were alot of cars that were on that dyno... and uas were obviously having some probs... but at the same time, alot of people got power figures they were expecting.. so who can say!!! ben was rushed to put cars through.. maybe he forgot to connect his cables properly on a few runs... someone said there was a faulty connection! so MEH! shit happens! this was meant to be a fun day, and i think most people had fun!

and there really is no need for you to be so rude!

ps if anything i think adrian has a right to win... he has a stock turbo... with nos he owns the stock turbo catergory!!!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
