Kym,

As I keep telling you, you need to get it on a dyno, to see what is wrong, we are currently guessing what the problem is, we need to monitor alot of factors to tell you what to do. Yes those two things may help, but then again it could be related to something else.

See'ya:burnout:

Standard bovs LEAK thats why we put after market ones on

Unless your gay then you just put one on that gos choooooooooooooooooo

Strich9 buddy! Dont stress about your Air fuel ratios man, I have to wash the back of my white line every 2nd day and shan gets watery eyes after a few mins of driving behind me, thats if i havent burnt his bonnet by then :D

Rev i got 250RWHP @ Myaree on 10psi pod and cat back, EBC lol

My last dyno at SSTs seemed very harsh i only got 286hp @ 16psi but partly due to turbo and timing issues

Steve... I kinda asked this when I was there last night but didnt get a chance to find out properly.... Are you able to tune my AVC-R on the dyno down there at SST??? I will need someone to do this after I have run my new clutch in ( Say in about a week or two's time )

Thanks

Little $$'s??? I've spent more money than most people who have done their fmic, I did buy a trust unit remember. The whole idea of the trust cooler was to improve intake temps in order to reduce pinging (and I can run 12-13psi all day everyday even in 30 degree heat) without the car pinging. Once I get this AF ratio sorted then I can start mucking around with the timing, like rev210 is.

Just to clear things up. Speedworks dont actually have a Dyno. The dyno belongs to Automotive Power Analysis and resides at JRT in Bentley.

As for Rob's figure? We were all scratching our heads on that one during the dyno day! It was a freak run which seemed a little out considering the other 30 cars done during the day produced their expected hp figures. Including mine.

I dont think the dyno is "high reading" as such. Perhaps a setting was incorrect, we did noticed that it being a hub dyno it was extremely sensitive to diff ratio settings and could calculate way out of whack if it was even slightly out.

Oh well, like VSpec says... just as long as you use the same dyno for your benchmarking, you cant go wrong :D

Red17

Its 273ps not hp. its about 270hp. We're not sure why the dyno read that figure, it was a crazy figure considering what was done to the car at the time. A supra also pulled an odd figure too and everyone else on the day seemed to pull normal figures. I'll be going down the drags sometime soonish and hope to be around the mid 13's.

giz01, the power is not as important as how it generates the power, now with the boost and FMIC I think rob should easily get a 13. Some cars with more power are getting slower times due to wheelspin and lag etc, so power is not always directly correlated to fast 1/4mile times.

"Dyno proven" is a bad mix of words. Dyno tuned or Dynotested

maybe. In the new issue of Perth street car there is a good

example, A Falcon "Dyno proven 502rwhp" STD internals?

and runs in the 12s on slicks mmmmm sounds suss hay.

On Tuesday I had a BIG Valiant 6Cyl non turbo or NOS

make 305rwhp with spectators here saying i tricked

the Dyno and was bull shitting them.

Last nite it ran 11.5@ 114mph full bodyed and 1400kgs

and a XB falcon road car on slicks 293rwhp 12.2sec.

The 1/4 mile should be used to see if your shop is fudging

power figs. "Dynos can lie"

"TRACK PROVEN" is the only true way of proven.

I agree steve.

After all the dyno is just part of the tuning process to get the cars real perfomance when doing the thing you love to do the most... racing!

I have found some tuners do the final dyno tune with the bonnet 'up'. This goes for power runs as well. Although there is certainly reasons of keeping the engine 'cool' for long periods of tune, the final tweaks and power run ought to be done with the lid down I reckon. At least I have asked this in the past- with some strange looks given but, I feel a better tune results.

I could be wrong but, the car doesnt get driven around with the bonnet up.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
