At the Holden vs Ford show this weekend (just gone), Eddy Tassones VZ Commodore ute made 1899rwhp, which is a new world record. The car has a 383 stroker V8 (based on the old Holden 5.0L block) with twin turbos, custom cam and manifold using 40psi and C16 fuel. Apparently they backed off before the redline because the engine was leaning out due to the fact it was not tuned properly (they only put the engine together the day before the event), so it only revved to 6500rpm, and the dyno graph indicates it will keep going. Summernats, here we come.

Edit: here are some pics. hopefully the guy I stole them off doesn't mind.... :)

The dyno sheet below was taken after the second run, the third run was 1898.9rwhp.

thats just insane,do you know if he is definitely running the same engine that he had in the vk

Yes it is the same engine from the VH, but it has been changed a fair bit. New turbos, plenum/intake, probably new cam, intercooler etc, I think the only thing the same is the 383 bottom end. It is making about 500rwhp more than the VH, so it has changed a fair bit.

Interestingly enough, if you were to see the boost graph, it makes over 600rwhp at 2000rpm, so the turbos may look laggy, but there is plenty of power down low. Don't forget they only revved it to 6500.

The official record was held by Brett Waine in his twin turbo 372ci VC commodore, that was 1470.8rwhp on pump. Eddy's VH made 1376 on pump, and 1525 on C16. This figure was done on C16, but once the car is tuned, I would say it will get a tune for pump fuel for use at Summernats. Also, Brett Waines car is street registered, not sure about this thing.

looks like the same plenum,do you know what gear box he runs

Not sure what box, I will see if I can find out. The logical choice would be the T56 6 speed. He used to use a T5 in his VH for dyno runs and a powerglide for the track. I know that this thing has a manual, I will find out exactly what.

Well, the guy who owns the TRYHRD VX Clubsport (1200+rwhp), reckons that the Clubby is more drivable and better behaved than his Ferrari F355 that he uses as his daily driver.

If set up properly, there is no reason that it can't be driven. Mind you, Eddy Tassones cars are alot crankier than TRYHRD too. TRYHRD is so sedate, that if you didn't see the dyno readout, you wouldn't even believe how much power it makes. It is quiet and well behaved, it almost seems stock.

Good power indeed

What turbos are they?

gotta love the BOV's pointing to the sky :(

Every 15yr old kid's dream hehe

Just looking @ the numbers though

Ambient Temp: 19 deg

Intake Temp: 230 deg

If going from IT: 30 to IT: 60 can give a large power increase... imagine going from 19 to 230... the power correction figure would be astronimical.

I wonder if they had it on an engine dyno before putting it into the car.

They would be interesting numbers, not Dyno Dynamics "interesting" correction values.

230 degrees intake temp indeed.

I asked that very question myself. I have been assured by someone who was a competitor there (not sure if you have heard of the PSI-355 VR SS commodore with 900rwhp - the guy who owns that was competing there on the day) that on that particular run the inlet temp sensor failed causing it to revert to it's default setting which is 230. He said that Dyno Dynamics have assured that it did not affect power figures in anyway, and the sensor was fixed for the next run which was 1898.9rwhp. The guy who owns PSI-355 said that he tried putting the inlet temp sensor in the exhaust to see what would happen, his 900rwhp car gained 20hp, so it appears that the inlet temp does not have as much of an affect with high hp as it does with low hp.

I am no expert, just relaying information from people who were there. This is the actual quote which the owner of PSI-355 put up on the Street Commodores chat forum when I made a comment about the intake temp:

UD_LOSE: ALL WRONG..........This was the first issue they sorted out last night

Halfway through the second run the intake temp sender failed and went into default as 230 is the default code!!!!!!!! it was confirned last night that this had no affect on the figres by Mr Dyno Dynamics, Peter Humphrys so b4 you start shootin ya mouths off get ya facts STRAIGHT

Eddy will back up his numbers as he always does time and time again he does'nt need to defend himself he is as has been NO1 for years and proved this in every state!!!!

I hope he does roll this into summernats would be entertaining 2 say the least

good day

Does that one have to be pluged into a power point to get the electricity necessary to run it? The alternator doesn't have sufficient output to run the fuel pumps, igntion etc so it needs to be plugged into 240 volts to run.

:( cheers :D

PS; How can it be a World Record when I saw a supercharged big block door slammer make 2500+ hp on hub dyno is Las Vegas about 10 years ago?

eddy must have found himself a new tuner

last time in the vh the engine was still on the original anthony roderigeous tune from two years ago ( of course with some tweaking but nothing major changed for two hole years) and still goin strong

the last time i saw eddy run his vh was probably the last time it made good horse power! - it was spewing water out every where and did its final two runs with the radiator cap loose

im sure that alternator tucked down there would be decent sucker 100amp or something

fuel pumps would cause a draw but the car only gets run flat piss for 30 seconds MAX at a time so the load would beable to be kept up with for that short while

any ways

will be very interesting to see him again at summernats should be a good show down with craig munros vx

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
