Dyno Results

[Paul GTS]

Hi Guys.

Well I got the car back this afternoon and although I havent really had a chance to put my foot down I have the dyno graphs to post. The car feels strong now, ive only been using 0.5 bar of boost but its pulls like it used to on 1bar! And I havent stalled it yet with the new clutch! bunny hopped though! lol

The first two are at the high boost setting which is around 1.25 bar.

These next two are the low boost setting, just under 0.8bar

Cant wait to get her out on a dry road and see what she now feels like!!

Looking good. I noticed the boost @ 1.2bar tapered off after peak torque, and then had a bit of a rise at the end. Might be calibration of your controller?

Also the scale on your plots indicates crank hp. Given your spec, I'd think that power delivered should be at the wheels.

The 0.8 bar plot @ 367hp has a very nice, smooth shape - I like it. Should be very driveable and I notice that the high rpm torque does not drop off. There's the turbine efficiency working for you, not choking the engine.

Very nice overall, and give us a drive report once you've done a few miles.

cheers

Nice: Approx 270rwkw.

You had me confused till i noticed you first graph was "approx flywheel hp" and your 2nd graph was "rwhp"

very nice wont sneeze at those results

Trouble is I am still using the actuator that came with the kit.

This was only a 7psi one so when we tried to go over 1.2bar the boost became unstable and spiked quite a bit, it also couldnt hold the boost at high rpm. We did see over 450bhp at the fly though. When the better actuator goes on i am sure we could raise the boost to say 1.3 - 1.4 and keep it stable meaning 450bhp +

Still havent tried it out on the road yet as its been too wet!

isnt it an adjustable acuator? wind some more preload on it so the EBC isnt working so hard and it should hold boost more stable

I dont know mate the tuners just said it wasnt great and thats as high as they could go on that one.

There should be a pic of it in one of my others posts.

there it is

not a good pic as you cant see the rod, however the HKS ones are adjustable from mem, So you should be able to adjust the preload up a lot. For example adjust it so that the target boost is 1 - 1.1 bar and then let the EBC do the rest.

Agreed.......

100% sure the actuator has an adjustable rod, as i had one myself.

Do not waste money buying another actuator as these are great and can hold boost without any problem. Wind the rod in (make it shorter) till you have set your desired "low boost" setting, then use your EBC to achieve the "high boost" setting. I am disappointed to read that you mechanic is not aware of such basic principals

Caution: Set too much preload on the actuator, and the boost will spike; set too little and boost response will be "lazy".
