Mine stock pulled: 160kwrw mark

With Cat back : 175kwrw

So full turbo back should expect up to 180kwrw im assuming? But then i read this thing about how an extra dump pipe could give loss of power without tune.

Also, what i'd like to know is which shops dyno run reads higher or lower.

Apparently UAS claims their dyno reads lower than others, and thats where i did my dyno run.

Belgarage, i heard reads accurately lower than others as well.

CRD, apparently reads too much higher than other places that ppl coming from CRD to dyno at other places get dissapointed with their runs.

Are there any more opinions on which place is accurate?

ah yer i agree hitman is the best for tuning but regarding power runs does hitman show generally accurate kw?

So what i mean is, after hitman have tuned ur car, have you actually went elsewhere to dyno run and see whether it is actually 60+ kw?

And i suppose John "Pelican" at unique fed you that dribble...ive heard him say it to customers time and time again about so called "Croydon Watts"...heres some proof

My car

CRD 439kw...the next day at Autosalon Sydney 437kw

CRD 467kw (at night with cold air) the next day at Autosalon Newcastle 455kw (the heat of the day in an auditorium with not much fresh air)

CRD 486kw...the next day at Autosalon final battle Sydney 487kw then the next day took a little bit of fuel out of it to push it over 500kw with 502.4kw.

Both dyno's are of a different make from Croydon (Dynodynamics) and Autosalon (Mainline dynolog), and the dyno in Newcastle is a different Mainline Dynolog to the one used in Sydney.

They are so accurate because they are used by skilled operators with more years of experience than most people on here have been alive.

So please don't post hearsay dribble you get fed from other workshops.

And just for the record I no longer have any affiliation with Croydon Racing.

lol dirtgarage, for the record i don't take john's word and where ive heard this is from a mate (customer of CRD owns a WRX) who dyno ran and pulled 180kw then went to Autotek and pulled 150kw. And now i don't know how the weather was like but it shouldn't of made more than 10kw difference if it were to be accurate. And please don't tell me autotek is just inaccurately low, cuz then how would they get business for tuning? lol

anywayz no offence to CRD affiliates like youself

P.S. im only giving my opinion here from my experience and my friends experience, and please don't take anything offensive or you might break my engine when i go to u to rebuild it :P

no offence...just thought id post up some reality. Ive heard John Pelican dribble that line more times than Ive cared to remember. Autotek may have their dyno set differently...both CRD and Autosalon use industry standard locked perameters (shootout) so that figures all over Aust. can be directly compared. It is extremely accurate, as most competitors will agree and all CRD's cars have made nearly identical power at Autosalon whether it be in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney or Newcastle. its no co-incidence, its a fact than can be backed up numerous times with concrete evidence witnessed in front of thousands of onlookers.

Again im no longer affiliated with CRD so i gain no benefit from sharing some real results.

You engine is in safe hands at Red R...heck id even build one for Sydneykid if i had too. :D

lol npz ill be there in near future.

Just a question though, about UAS in ur personal opinion are they accurate? apparently Tim from UAS says it reads generally lower especially on cold weather and not hot (due to some adjustments made for weather changes). What is ur opinion on this?

I only ask cuz u said on a cold weather ur dyno kw was better than it was on a hot weather.

Basically no dynos are directly comparable, as Paul said even in shootout mode you can accidently or deliberately get differences in temperatures and settings that give different results.

No doubt some workshops are a little harsh in the readings they give customers before they work on the car, and a little generous afterwards to make it look like they have done more than they have. This is particularly true when people have had their cars "tuned" when they have a stock, untuneable computer....

If you really want an accurate place to compare power output, take it to the drag strip and post up you MPH. No settings to play around with there, just a stop watch

oh alright, the thing is i could never understand how much power a car made by looking at mph.

For example, mine in my sig how would u determine that?

Unfortunately I'm not one of those people lol. But 100mph seems a bit slow for a 13.7? Ask in the drag section they will sort you out.

easy...just use a calculator...like this...

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
