SO many variables. Believe it or not other cars have had a much harsher life than others.

Correct........you take 2 cars with identical mods yet one has a fresh motor while the other is lacking compression with crappy plugs and I guarantee a difference of at least 20 or 30kw.

How much effect does the ramp rate have on the over all figure. it would be the same difference as doing the run in a lower gear because that is effectively what you are doing by altering the load. I.e. there wouldn't be 10% difference in a 200kw car due to RR more like 2 or 3.

Also this engine had extremely good compression, i posted the figures up in the wasteland when i did the test because I wasn't sure what the range factory range was, but they were all around 169 mark with very little difference between them

Actually sorry steve have to jump in here noone's actually said he didn't make the reading there just questioning the equipment they used to get the reading!

comprehension i never once said he didnt make that figure just what were the dyno settings was what i was implying

remember people its just a number.

yeah but to some it seems figures are more important than where their car is at!

i only pulled 185kw with a pfc (got a restricting exhaust) but some how i still manage to be right next to my mates skylines even though they have more power! as long as i feel the result i'm happy

The more power the car has the more dramatic the power difference is going to be when you vary to ramp rate. Ovrtym33's R33 made 325roundaboutrwkw on moderatly high ramp rate which was around 270 i think. Due to the fact we had to dial out alot of wheel spin on the dyno. On a more modest / realistic ramp rate the car would probably make around 340-350rwkw....however the same ramp rate differences on a 200rwkw R33 would be around 10rwkw difference. not too much but enought to make a customer drive out happier lol.

well the car was actually on the dyno to find an ignition fault which turned out to be the No. 2 coil pack. The figure was just a bonus, i told Zac that he wouldn't make 200 until they played with the SAFC but you never know, that's the thing with playing cars.

He's now giving me shit about how much effort i put into my CA to get 16 kw more :) . But I'm only a decent actuator away from 235.

Yep, but that's what you get when you try and 18 psi through a 9 psi actuator.

I only put 2mm of preload on it though so I might try a little bit more and see if that works but i suspect it'll just make it spike higher and then drop to the same point. I'll by a 13.8psi actuator and bring that along when it goes on the dyno next.

hey im in the same boat, took my car to turbo tune bout 6months back, i hav a fmic, hks cat back, walbro 500hp pump, pod filter and running 11psi flat (earthed out solenoid). My car got a read out of 221.1rwkw. My engine is a bit weird tho you cant run the pod straight off the airflow meter cause my car will just flood up wen hitting boost. i need an extra bit of pipe on the end and then it runs sweet, turbo tune said they hav never encountered a problem like that

dynos are only good for tuning. and bragging rights :P my car made 235rwkw on tilbrooks dyno with standard ecu and turbo running 13 psi.

thats way too high..... since then the car has had a haltech e11v2 installed at boostworx and runs the same boost but made 197 rwkw on boostworx dyno :P .... that being said the car is heaps more responsive and pulls heaps harder.....

Your right that is way to high but that's Tilbrooks dyno for you.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
