spinning is just cause the guy is treating the dyno like its a race track, kinda silly really

Not as silly as you think.

The car is strapped in quite nicely and he was launching it because they were doing 1/4 mile simulations with the guys in the background going " 10.68, woohoo!" obviously referring to a 10.6 down the strip.

i think thats a great idea for gaging a cars potential 1/4 m times. :(

whats silly about it? I just saw a vid of a 2500 HP supra on a dyno. I think if a dyno of ANY make can handle 2500 ponies, surely, it can handle a standing launch from a car only making 600hp..

I think it's clever to bring accelleration into a tune. Certainly analysing the 'time' delta of mods is just as meaningful as horsepower. It picks up non-horsepower changes as a result of things like changes in rotational inertia and throttle response mods that are invisable only looking at horsepower. Enrichment fuel mixtures can play a part in response on and off the throttle pumping and can add precious milliseconds.

The time measurements also remove the 'happy dyno' to some degree, as we can measure the time 'in gear' to go from one speed/rpm to another. Things like gearing and rim/tyre diameter can then be given a chance to factor into the equation.

Certainly doesn't fully replicate on track logging of conditions but, in terms of tune analysis it's the next best thing.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
