Great thread except for the cat fights...

So is this car going to be raced, or is it a purpose built dyno weapon? If it does hit the track it will need full cage and chute i'd imagine.

For a daily driver did anyone think for a moment about the fuel consumption of 6 x 1600cc injectors...

I had a thought about the issue with dyno comps and light ramp rates. While talking with some tuners at a training event last time i was down south someone mentioned the issue of ramp rates being so light that some of their turbo dyno comp cars were barely achieving full boost for their runs. Where as this wasnt an issue of course for the supercharger croud.

I've read of some of the pro-mod drag cars in the US that use a nitrogen gas injection anti-lag system to pre-spool the turbo onto boost. As its not dependant on engine load this could be done to overcome lack of dyno/engine load during a power run. Basically they have a nozzel in the header before the turbine housing and inject nitrogen gas briefly to spool the turbo onto boost. The moment the gas is in the header it expands greatly because of the heat and eliminates lag. I'd imagine all the top dyno comp cars are running engine management capable of turning on a solenoid at say 60% load and above 5000 rpm, and off again at say 80-90% load and perhaps above 7000 rpm, thereby allowing the engine to settle and run on just turbo to max rpm. Just a thought...

we ran athids car on RE customs dyno the other night and it came up within a poofteeth of mine.... they dyno operator told athid it should be run in 4th (car was s15) and it ran 240rwkw..... ran it at re's and it ran 280 in 5th on 19"s with wheelspin... then ran it in 4th and it made 259rwkw.

not trying to wind you up here but your example is a little poor...everytime ive ran my car on a dyno in the night air its made more power...say 10kw minimum. Autosalon is run during the day and the conditions/air is not ideal compared to at night at workshop. Say you take that 10kw off the night reading...the dyno was out by 9kw!

Real world example...my car ran 467kw at Croydon the night before NAS last year...the next day with hotter more humid conditions combined with fuel/exhaust gas in the air it rolled 450kw. Was it because the dyno/ramp rates were wrong...no its because the conditions were not ideal for the car to perform to its optimum.

All cars in dyno comps are supposed to be run in 4th or 5th depending on which gear is 1:1 eg 5 speed in 4th or 6 speed in 5th

The role of a professional operator at a dyno competition is to eliminate as many variables as possible. The thing people forget is that a dyno is a scientifically designed and constructed piece of precision equipment and by far and away the biggest variable is THE CAR ON THE ROLLERS!

You can regulate tyre pressures, gear ratios, ramp rates, dyno modes, corrections etc all you want but the biggest variable will ALWAYS be the car.

Period.

yeah everyone was out, we ran athids car on RE customs dyno the other night and it came up within a poofteeth of mine.... they dyno operator told athid it should be run in 4th (car was s15) and it ran 240rwkw..... ran it at re's and it ran 280 in 5th on 19"s with wheelspin... then ran it in 4th and it made 259rwkw. If it had had been done properly athid would have taken out 4cyl turbo EASY... (LOVE THE BULLSHIT ABOUT HIGHER READINGS IN A LOWER GEAR)

DARRENs supra from ran well below its hp level (400hp off on sat) until sunday when it got tweaked to suit and rocketed to top position... only to be outdone by GAS on the last run of the day.

Angelos r33 GTR from racepace ran mid 314rwkw.....well down so it was pretty much all workshops with odd readings..... not foul play just poor operators.

shit even a R32 GTR pulled 140.... talk about sad..

What GTR ran 140kws?

mine is the evo that ran up 310.8kws (they only gave me 2 runs) dyno was probably out but not by 50+ kws.

ummm you just posted it yourself... :dry:

I knew Osman's did some strange things like remove all the seats in a WRX convert it to a ute and run a single seat in the middle of the car....but remove the turbo's off a GTR is wrong in the extreme.

The "No" refers to no NOS, the "turbo" means it is running a turbo - notice some others have N/A in this field.

haha you spend too much time typing...... and coming up with conspiracy theories :laughing-smiley-014: dont get me started with you just plain reading into things that just aint there..... i dont know how you find the time... im too busy on the dyno all day to keep track of it all...

just thought id let you know that i looked at athids dyno time (@RE's) it was 2pm about the same time as MAS ambient temp also about the same (within 2degrees of MAS) dyno graph below. didnt check baro as frankly i couldnt be fkd.

agreed cars are always run in 1:1...thats why athid had the whinge every one knows s15 are 6 speed, and 5th is 1:1.

oh and ignore the boost levels ray had some boost scale issues on the first few runs, all runs were 23psi. feel free to ring and ask him if you think its another conspiracy :P

Well that is within a KW or 2 of what it makes @ Dr Drifts but then again he has a chassis dyno which means lots of wheel spin :P

would be interesting to see some other cars on your or rays dyno, might see if some can pop down next friday to RE

yeah ive done 4 cars now, one on rays, one str8 from sabbadins and two from T&E ?? in paky all with in reasonable limits. Rays was a good test for differrences between 4 and 5th. I ve also had heaps of remaps come in from DRDRIFT that i have tuned that pulled close to thier sheets on my dyno before we started any work. Pretty sure DRDRIFT's is pretty much always spot on... it should read the same as MPC's as its the same dyno :) There should be hardly any wheelspin at a lowly 260 rwkw...

But you said in your post "the other night" so was it at night or 2pm...lol

it took of a minute or two reading your excuse to come up with the theory at 11pm after a few of Coopers pale brew's.

LOL mate i understand i dont know if im martha or arthur im that busy little own the time of day or nght i went down there, had a few mag editors in here the other day doing a BEFORE and AFTER article which put me even further behind.... days hours have no meaning anymore :P its just light and dark and lots of dyno noise.... if im lucky i get to visit the engine room....

ahh well...while your busy $$ are rollin through the door...and your not at the pub. :(

what are you doing posting in here anyway...i thought you were tuning all day ;)

now get back to that dyno where you belong... :P ...bad tuner...bad tuner!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
