There's a LOT of variables.

Placement of inlet air temp sensor, how the car is strapped down, tyre pressure, shootout mode run etc etc.

Its fairly easy to see a variance of 5 even 10rwkw depending on the above.

I believe it actually reads pretty much spot on if not a touch low. R33's with PowerFC's generally see 190-200rwkw; with cam gears or a 13+psi 210rwkw is achievable.

Mine was maxing out the afm and injectors at around 180rwkw; another mates also max'd his out at the same power.

BUT just because the afm is max'd out it doesn't mean you can't go on to make 220rwkw with the stock afm. Its just that the tune is a tad crude but it works.

Agreed, and i know/understand that. Its just i have seen a few cars get roughly 20kw less at some other places.

What dyno Kisin?

Graham Wests dyno reads 'slightly' lower than Shauns and thats a mainline which is known for reading lower than DD Dyno's.

So I'd say the dyno thats reading 20rwkw less which is a hell of a lot has something funky going on with inlet air temp sensor placement, shoot out mode or lack there of or strapping it down too hard.

Strapping it down TOO hard WILL definitely give a lower reading. 20-30rwkw is not uncommon.

Maybe the person strapping the car down hasn't got all that much experience with the dyno?

Which is why Dyno's are only good as a tuning tool; too many variables.

With regards to shootout modes. 'Generally' the lower the shootout mode the lower the same car will read; shoot 6 vs shoot 8 for example. Shoot8 will read slightly higher. This was shown at a boostworx dyno day when Chop's LS1 was run up in Shoot6 mode and made 20-30rwkw less than in shoot8F.

For what ever reason I've noticed Shaun usually runs in Shoot6 mode (should be shoot6f). Possibly more so for tuning reasons as the higher the shoot the less aggressive the ramp. Thats the way I understand it anyway. :ninja:

Kissin,

Same dyno, same customer, same shootout mode, very similiar amb and it temps.

Only variable (that i'm aware of); different strapper downerer and 24rwkw :ninja:

As you can see; only good for a tuning tool; dyno days are a fairly good indicator as they have a common variable; same day, same operator and strapper etc.. I'm not a believer of placing the IT temp sensor on the pod or airbox as it doesn't reflect 'real world' performance.

On the road; the car with the pod sucking that hot air doesn't have its power magically increased because its sucking hot air; power will be down.

So what I'm getting at is two cars side by side same gear same speed; one with a sealed airbox and cai; another with a POD. On the dyno they make identical power. Who's going to out accelerate who? My bets are on the car with the sealed airbox even though it made the same power as the car with the pod due to the dyno's power correction based on IT temps.

Hope that makes sense.

Look the way i see it, Use the same dyno everytime, As long as it's tuned on the same dyno it's all good! And when a a Dyno day......... don't take it too serious, Doesn't make your balls any bigger just cos you have more power!

.....yeh it does :)

haha, nah i know what u saying.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
