you'll find that dyno RPM boost thresholds don't mean shit in the real world, especially with a manual vehicle.

for example, my car made full boost at 3700rpm or so from memory when it was on the dyno.

on the street, it's like this if you mash it from idle:

1st: full boost 4500rpm

2nd: full boost 4000rpm

3rd: full boost 3600rpm

4th: full boost 3000rpm

so dynos aren't really very accurate when you compare it to a real-life situation.

the only reason to be concerned is if the car feels bad on the street, or doesn't do what you want it to do. then you know you need to change things around to suit your driving style. for example, next time i get the car tuned for more power (up above 400whp) i'm strongly considering going to a larger supercharger drive pulley to push the turbo up to a faster spool and get full boost down to around 3000rpm on the dyno. after driving the thing for near on 2000km now, that's the only real change i have even considered making.

y do all the tuners use speed as one of their axis? god it gives me this shits!

Not my dyno - its my mates.. i just change what i needed to - just to get it how i know how to use it :P

yeah, but why dont they just change the bottom axis to rpm? seems farking stupid to me :laugh:

How do you do it on a dyno dynamics dyno ? tell me how and il do it next time ! - considering i do all my tuning by myself it does not really bother me if its in km/h

Guilt toy, what pump you using and do you run a rising rate regulator?

I made 312rwkw with 550cc injectors with 044 pump and rising rate reg, only running around 75% duty cycle from memory.

I am using a Walbro 550hp pump - i wired it to a 12v relay etc etc... im using a sard fpr - i dont know if its a rising rate or what the rate is.

Funny thing is that at 317rwkw my injector duty is only up to 75% - its because it completly runs out of fuel - on the fuel pressure / flow tester it was going down to .5 litres a minute returning to the tank. So i am using pretty much all the fuel thats being pumped down the line. Need lots more flow and more reliable pressure.

Might get another walbro pump and stick it in the tank OR get a surge tank and a 044 and use the walbro to supply the surge tank.

no idea mate, but there should be a variable you can change somewhere...

Use the rpm probe on the dyno, it goes on the ignitor loop, where the timing light goes.

Or input the tyre size and diff ratio into the DD computer and it will work out the engine RPM

Piss off that Walbro fuel pump, they are shyte. The 550 bhp rating is for an N/A engine, they don't handle boost, as soon as the FPR compensates for boost pressure, the fuel flow drops of dramatically. Go Bosch, they are rated for flow at 73.5 psi, so plenty of head room for boost.

:sick: cheers :laugh:

Thanks Sydkid

Could i use the walbro to feed the surge tank and use the 044 from the surge tank?

Just wondering if the walbro would be good for a pre pump.

Cheers

If the dyno doesn't have the rpm input(they are a rip off), then i set the speed to 101kph, and hold the car under gentle load at 100, look at the rpm on the handset etc(not the tacho) Then press "Control R"and set the ratio tacho in the top left hand of the screen to say 31.50 if it was doing 3150rpm at 100. when in power run mode, press control down and set the axis to rpm. you may then have to set the parameters using shift down to say 2000-8000. Im a bit rusty, but that should be right. The dyno should have a piece of cardboard that sits above the function keys and explains all this, but its probably sitting in the draw.

I have my 044 mounted intank(it JUST fits in the stock bracket), not loud, and no surge tank needed.

im sure my emanage will be as good as a power fc ...? at the time i didnt have the cash fot a micro tec and got the emanage ultimate cheap and brand new so i didnt complain

Unfortunately its impossible for the emanage ultimate to be as good as a powerfc as the emanage has limitations due to its design and its piggy back nature (stock ecu limitations, fuel cuts etc).

You'd be better off having the stock ecu remapped. That is providing you don't want to utilize the vct.

cubes i think ya missing some info on my motor /progress

i have a rb25de non vct head with performance springs at 90lbs i was told also been faced and ported.

i have gtr 444 injectors with resistor pak a kkr480 q45afm<= not fitted yet a bosch 910 and surge tank.

hoping for 400rwhp if i can make that with the emanage..?

as it was tuned last time at boost works

as a rb2030 yes a 20 head on a 30 block with vlt pistons no combustion chamber change just water jackets moved 3mm over to fit the 30 ... the problem i had is vlt pistons and rb20 head makes 180 psi cylinder pressure and add 12psi makes pistons fall apart espically after 380,000 ks old pistons made 150 ish and wasnts able to make any more due to rb20det afm neerly maxing out .. pluss 38 degree days didnt help

but my loss .. and ill start again

Yep, Walbros are fine as long as they don't have to pump much pressure.

:P cheers :P

    • All the best with it mate. Hopefully no dramas. I found quite a few issues when i pulled mine out eg fkt trans and engine mounts, throwout bearing, i had not been aware of, so 'any car maint' can be worthwhile it seems.
    • I think it's the alternator, there's some cracked shit going on with the rectifier. But so far, seems to be fine again? No sparks, no weird arcing when the leads went on. I ran this past a mate, he said he had similar issues before and his auto sparky replaced the alternator. All I know is, car works, car not on fire lol.
    • Brother-in-law's workshop. And I'll be doing. Family doesn't get priority over long running customer jobs. It wouldn't normally take so long to get to a task of mine, but there was a series of unfortunate events involving the dyno (blowing it up) that caused a serious backlog in the normal workload, that has toaken literally forever to get out from underneath. I can't do, or more to the point, choose not to do, jobs at home that require tools I don't have or would leave me without my daily if something goes wrong that thwarts me. Gearbox out on the floor with chassis stands is not palatable when I can use a hoist at the shop. But I've only had the box for a few weeks. It's the injectors and AFM that have been waiting on access to the dyno.
    • Thanks for mentioning it on the forums! Much appreciated Jen and I likely can't make it this weekend, but looking forward to see what you folks cook up in the future. Enjoy!
    • Welp, I have been driving it around (a bit) and messing with idle and return to idle characteristics. This is all well and good until I discovered my starter motor... is nearly dead. This is unfortunately after I booked my exhaust and tune in. This is the new section of my exhaust, after losing my mind with vbands and clamps. Yes I now have 4 mufflers. The two middle ones are 5in body 3in pipe round straight through mufflers or incorrectly named 'resonators' whatever you want to call. How does it sound? Muffled.   Car runs richer now in low load. Is it restriction? Or lack of exhaust leaks. I also figured out a way to make the Analog Readout match the serial WB Readout. All of this requires a car to you know.. *start* to tune the maths, which was not ideal when I needed it to get to the exhaust shop and back. It started when cold. 30 mins after the car got home, it was time to get stuck into it. Unfortunately this thing has no identifying marks on it at all. I contacted Mal Wood and asked if he could send me a replacement and he asked me to remove it because they've changed starters with their kits a few times over the years. I asked other companies with LH LS starter conversions and they all use different starters unique to their kits. I did find CAE performance supply Mal Wood - But they are out of stock for this starter for the next 3 weeks. The tune is booked for Friday 30th. Here's hoping the local starter motor repair place (which interestingly has a 5 star review from Trent @ Chequered) can get this rebuilt/sorted out so I can get it on and put the car on the dyno. Here's hoping!
