Sick Of People Claiming Ghost Rwkw!


Recommended Posts

According to most Holden owners their cars make about 1000000000000 rwkws fwkws awkws in park on a dyno that is upside down using a volcano as a fan.

I have friends that do it, i think everyone has "that friend" that claims fantastical power outputs from either their own car or some car they "read about." Who cares, its good for a laugh! It definitely can get annoying though, so i feel your pain there.

unless its a dyno queen, its the torque that matters most anyway.

haha love this thread i got a mate with a supra thats booked into get a gt35 fmic and computer on monday for $5000 and reckons he was told it will pump out 450hp atw.

sounds a bit cheap to me i guess ill find out sometime during the week :D

my 5 speed v6 vn commodore is making a good 368 kW at the wheels. all its got is a 2.5 inch exhaust that has snapped underneath. its easy. all you need is an imagination, and to keep a straight face when you tell people this sh!t :(

worst is my mate. his older brother had an evo 3 mock up. just an old lancer with an evo 3 kit and an exhaust.

my mate, daniel, thought it was the quickest car in the world, it was able to eat gt-r r34s for some reason. this guy who works for my dad, arthur is his name, he used to work as a mechanic for nissan. he owns a 1999 s14. sleeper, hasnt been dyno'd, hes done sum silent stuff to this car, it has an r33 gt-r exhaust, so no big exhaust or anything, looks stock standard. this 200sx tho, has keeps up with s15s, r33 gts-ts even r34 gt-ts lol, not gt-rs tho :banana:

this daniel guy thinks that his brothers evo 3 was able to keep up with porsches. we had an arguement over whos car would win. the lancer or the 200sx.

mind you, this guy knows nothing about how cars work. after wrecking him with all mechanical talk, about how easy 200sx can win cause it has a turbo and other stuff, he thinks that the lancer will win cause it has 4wd...its a lancer..it has front wheel drive..but he thinks 4wd. in the end all he could say was that cause his brothers car has a bodykit, the aerodynamics will allow it to beat the 200sx.

sorry for the novel

My mums VE SS puts out about 550hp at the wheels....

Its twin turbo but.

horrible waste of money...

My mate has a 5.7ltr fully work engine forgies soild cam big bux spent on it, The work shop told him it was makeing 280kw. He told a diffent tuner and he laught and said no way put it on the dyno and it only made 250kw. I ve heard most V8 joint's dyno are way out so it looks better for them.

So i guess the V8 fans are liveing in Fantasy.

Ps has any one ever heard a v8 fan say there engine rated at 500hp Thinking that makes the car 500hp at the weels. :ph34r: .

whats so unbelieveable about 300rwkw from a 5.7L Holden?

Do you know how easy it is to get massive power and 11 second 1/4's out of these cars?

Engine power from V8s is no prob, especially with performance shops like Harrop's, Air Power Systems that super/turbocharge. It's traction from only 2 wheels that the problem. They wheelspin like a bitch.

Wow, your mum turbo'd her SS? Nice one! Although might be embarrassing to be owned by your own mum at the lights every time.

This is great guys! I knew that there would be an army of f*ckwits out there that we have all met! They are the sort of guys that go paintballing and think they are Rambo or go Go-Karting and think they are GP drivers. All in all I just smile and nod and prey that one day they'll pull there 10 second stock monster out for a play one day. It just always seems that whenever your around and want to see what their car reall has there's a problem. Like oh I don't have my keys here or the trans is playing up a litlle or whatever the hell they can think of.........

Great input guys. Good to know I'm not the only one out there with this hatred.

I dunno. The price does sound a bit low, but Supra engines are fing tough. I've read you can put up to like 400-450rwkw through them before you need to start upgrading engine internals.

I don't even waste my breath on people who crap on that their pieces of shit or their mates pieces of shit make x power or can beat x car.

my VN has 160rwkw with a slightly lumpier cam than stock and exhaust. Thats about right for a 5 litre with the usual minor mods.

A standard VX LS1 should make ~180rwkw, a standard HSV 5litre around 135rwk or so (what i've seen off runs on a Dyno Dynamics dyno).

best mates VX SS made 240rwkw with a full twin DiFillippo exhaust and LS1 Edit. This translated into real world performance too, the only cars I can think of which were faster were a WRX with a 2.2L stroker, dogbox and a heap of other goodies, and ironically one of our mates R31's with an RB30 and a highflow ha ha ha.

My GTS-4 has a sheet for 240rwkw, but I'm thinking that CRD had a happy dyno that day or somethings out in the Microtech cause theres no way it makes that power at the moment.

Most of the genuinely fast cars i've seen don't make the most impressive dyno readings though.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
