hey guys

i know its nice and early to be posting but figure i will get in early for you all to mark it down in your calendars

final date yet to be confirmed, but on either the 26th or 27th of january we are holding our grand opening of the new workshop and dyno day

will be having different classes obviously and over hundreds of dollars worth of prizes for winners of each category as well as gift packs for all dyno entrants

FWD

4cylinder RWD champion

6cylinder RWD champion

8cylinder RWD champion

HP per litre champion

the whole day will also be covered by both HOT4's and FAST FOURS so if you think your car has what it takes to score a feature in either magazine make sure you come on down and get on the dyno or let your presence be known in front of the guys :D :D:D they are specifically here to cover the event and on the look out for feature cars so dont be shy :D

there will be your usual sausage sizzle etc etc on the day as well as a few models doing signing including MISS FEBRUARY from the 2008 australian swimsuit calendar who also features on the cover of JANUARY hot4's and fast fours!!!!! magazines and calendars will be available there to be signed by the lovely Felicity, or bring your own copy along to get it signed and some photos :(;):O

dyno entries will be $60 p er person with only 40 cars to be running on the day -- no charge to come down for the day and have a look and be part of the day as some workshops i know do yo pay for their dyno days :P - what better way to spend the australia day weekend by making some noise with some cars, having a bbq and checking out models :D :D:D:D

all enquiries, please email [email protected] or 3359 5466

hope to see u all there

i will now just to prove u wrong. def in aslong as noel brings his black beast for some number crunching.

my number crunching will be at qr on tuesday. revving the shit out of your car on a dyno for no reason is a waste of time.

Come to the track day. you get hours of fun for 100 bucks. far better than fangin the shit out of your ride and going nowhere while paying 60 bucks for the privelage.

bragging rights dont mean shit these days unfortunately, atleast to people with half a brain and built cars. Its a shame all the kiddies like the whole dyno wank wank brag brag thing.

When the flag drops the bullshit stops! Atleast my old man tells me that all the time haha.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
