Frink,

It has been pointed out to me before that our Dyno reads lower then any other dyno in Canberra.

Ours is the only Mainline dyno here so its hard to compare with another one.

I dont think that our dyno is inacurate but nothing is impossible.

Cristian

its all good mate :D. i realise that all dyno's will give you a different reading. i was happy with the way you and your team performed on the day. and your setup is just awesome. big screen, car facing out so you can see the engine working rather than the back-end of the car and a great printout with lots of detail. will be back when i need something like that done again...

Is the correction ratio set near 8% due to the temperature? or the height of Canberra itself? ie around 500-600 metres above sea level?

CeJay,

The correction ratio changes as the weater changes.

So in one day you can see as many as 10 - 15 correction values.

Dyno readings and power figures are all relative... You can get one result from one dyno and a completely different one from another... What matters is how the car FEELS.

Who cares what the numbers say... I have been trying to get my car perfect on the dyno for months and I have recently realised that they're just numbers... If your car feels quick and responsive and does as much or more than you want it to then thats all that matters.

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me not to say anything about what your numbers say and a certain flower? :thanks:

Just had my (delayed) dyno, got 142.2kW and 224Nm, pretty happy with that seeing as I've only done the exhaust. PFC, boost and FMIC on the way!

I would have expected more than that... especially seeing as you have a Power FC installed.

My RB25DET made 186rwkw with only a front mount, exhaust and boost up... Ive seen standard RB25DET's pull 200rwkw with only a front mount, exhaust, PFC and boost turned up... Are you sure its tuned right?

That seems pretty low.... No offence intended.

i think he means he only has an exhaust currently, and the the PFC, intercooler and Boost will be done in the near future.

so 142rwkw for stock car with an exhaust is pretty good.

Hah yeah I, PFC isn't in yet :) I'm hoping for 180-190 when the PFC/FMIC/boost+ are in.

Baconer: Yep, saw yours pull similar. I've got a lightened flywheel which probably comes into play. Can't think of anything else it would be if yours is as stock as mine. Guessing you might have a FMIC or something I don't. Either way, close enough :rant:

Edited by sl33py

nope mines stock except for turboback exhaust aswell. Will be interesting to see how your car goes after the mods, will give me a basis of what i should do to get similar power (aka, you do all the work and ill copy you later) :)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
