awesome results and as said above eddy tasone was previously a big figure in drag racing in WA and he was running 9s on a N/A 383 stroker years ago (low 9's i think from memory) in his slr torana.

then the vh ran 8.1 or so and this thing is obviously abit of a dyno car rather than an out and out drag car.

why does everyone have to hang shit on any figures that come up with lame comments like "its only making .... hp, etc etc.

where is all these keyboard warriors dyno graphs? if u aint got something remotely close to that then how can u say it only made X amount of power?

all i can say is good work active automotive :D

You need to get yourself over to the 5 pager on Street Commodores where you will see the official response from Dyno Dynamics and what the actual result was +/- 10%.

Where's your dyno graph by the way?

GO EDDY!

I am known as DARE U on the Street Commodores site, you will find several posts by me on there, that is pretty much where I got the info (and the pics) for this post.

There is a report on the dyno dynamics website in regards to this, until yesterday, they thought it was a new record, and they don't make any attempt to estimate what the figure should have been, so I am not sure where "Do It Again" on the SC forum got his info from. Here is the link for the official Dyno Dynamics response http://www.dyno.com.au/news.htm#june01_Altomak

And I agree, world record or not, it is still a valiant effort for a car that is not tuned on an incomplete run. Good luck to him, I hope he does back up his figure and breaks the record.

Because they barely had time to build the motor after cracking the block on the old one.

That's right, they cracked the block on the old motor, and the new one was only put together a day or two before the event. I just heard that Eddy will be running the car again probably today or tomorrow to "see where it's at".

An interesting point though, is the fact that the power run was cut short by 1500rpm because the twin-retarder dyno was maxed out and displaying an error message. That didn't happen with Brett Waines 1470rwhp run, and no one seems to be able to say what the limit for the dyno is, but it stopped at an indicated 1895.9hp.

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.

:whistling: cheers :laugh:

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?

ALWAYS something to say

Why is the inlet temp 230 degrees celsius?

This was explained before. The sensor failed during the second run causing it to go into open circuit mode and read 230 degrees. As a result a correction value of over 30% was applied. Meaning that the run was not a record, and should have been between 1300-1400hp. Still good for an untuned car on a run which was cut 1500rpm short. Apparently Eddy is going to tune the car and re-run it and go for the record again.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
