You almost had me? You never had me you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

There's Morpowa, no residential houses along that street & pricing should be around the Tilbrooks range.

i would hope to think there cheaper than Tilbrooks and i dont think skylines would be much louder than revvy toyota's but would have to ask shaun what he knows he can get away with

i think on said night we could all put in maybee for pizza pie and cokes wot ever your poison

try and find my extra 20kw that i lost :)

my extra bits are

BP: 101.3 RH: 60 AT:25 IT:39 RR:013 TN:3.454

Steve didn't they say your car was leaning out? Or was that just Seans car? Maybe your fuel pump is on the way out or you need to start using 98 octane.

Interesting the IT temps are consistent.

Didn't feel like 40degree air inside there. yer was warm but not 40.

Was shaun placing the sensor on the pods/inlet snorkle etc I can't say I looked. :)

Yeah I did notice Shaun was placing the sensor in the snorkel.

Still surprised that my IT was 49, heat soak, a hot engine & maybe a bad fan position too is the only explanation I have.

yeah my last dyno run when i got 175 it was leaning out but on sat shaun said it was fine :)

i need to book sum time with him i think

From my experience with dyno's its more your rear tyres getting to hot that drops the power/ torque on the second run then heat soak.

If you sit back and think about how much load is placed on your back tyres as there screaming away on a nearly smooth metal drum. also when you add in the fact that shaun straps your cars back and down, in my eyes thats pulling your rear wheels away from the front roller. how are you supposed to get good power to to the dyno with out getting up on top of the front roller for maximum traction?

the only proof i have is i was with a friend at boostworx a couple of months ago and he was missing 56kws from the previous day on a different dyno. i felt the tyres after just one power run and they were slimy, and way to hot to use so we left.

on the other hand hitek dyno straps your car very differently. the further your car goes forward the harder its forced onto the front roller, and you get consistent runs.

the other day i was on there for over an hour and as we made changes the power kept rising.

once i got to final reult we ran it up twice and both runs were within 1 kw of each other. yet the back tyres were still gripping stong and weren't slimy at all.

end result 317kws.

He also uses a laptop for tuning the power fc.

The main reason I got such a major power drop I think you will find is due to the fact I've still only got the little side mount intercooler & mine did put out the highest amount of power out of the 33's with the stockie. Many were actually pulling more power on their second run & they had a lot more at the wheels than me, somehow I don't think 177kw is enough to trouble their dyno & I do have some 265's on the back so pleanty of grip.

Both runs were done simitaneously & when you look at my chart torque was dropping off the whole way through (it jumped up when it boost control went into high mode but started dropping off even quicker thereafter) so by the time the second run was carried out my intake temp at the plenum would have been nice & toasty.

I'm sure if I get a beefy front mount fitted the readings will be much more consistent, not to mention higher.

Shaun owns a datalogit. He prefers to use the hc as its faster for him. Using the lappie is personal preference and is no different to using the hc. It just enables us to data log, and change a few other settings when u run out of resolution etc...

Its about consistency. Dont go from one dyno to another and expect it to read the same. Shauns dyno is know to read lower than others.

I was more concerned by the temp of the tyres.

on shauns dyno they were melting, on the other dyno they were fine to touch.

next time you run your car there feel your tyres!

it maybe the reason why his dyno reads low....

If you strap it loose and let the tyres up on the front rollers,

you will get a higher reading:), this trick has been proven many times

in dyno comps before here and interstate. You can apparently also overspeed the dyno by getting it

up on the front roller and let it wheelsping hard on it and get a fudged figure aswell with big power cars

I'm confused, why would you get more traction on the front roller, there is more surface area when you car

is on both rollers! the same reason you tyres get a lot hotter! they are actually touching something!

I dunno about you guys but I don't think Shaun's dyno reads low. It seems on the mark to me. But interesting about the tyres being warm. Its an indication that there is excessive friction.. either being strapped down too hard or not enough?

my old mechanic told me u can also run brake on dynos and sum tunning places will wind the brake on for your first pass pretend to much arround with your car then wind it off and instant more KW your happy and they get paid :(

thats the first time i've heard that about the tires, its interesting to know, i think you guys need to try and stop reading into these figures so much. Remember a dyno is only a tuning tool, the track and your MPH is a real test of the power your making and until we get a track we won't really know i guess! Dyno's can vary so much with their power readings just from the tiniest things, its nothing to get caught up on!

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
