Hey,

Just had a quick retune on my car, last time it made 353.8HP, this time it made like 320HP however i have upgraded a few things, new coils, fixed a blown out turbo to manifold gasket and installed a thermo fan. The car now feels faster however its less power than before? now when he showed me with air temp correction on it showed 449HP which is closer to what i would believe it to make based on everyone else that has the same mods? im running 1.45BAR and hits full boost around 3800RMP this time it was about 10 - 15 degrees hotter than last time though however. It was done on a dynapac hub dyno.

Also are peoples cars normally dyno'd on a power run with air temp correction on or off? also does the shootout mode make a big difference?

I have PFC with Boost Control kit

HKS 3037 Pro S 0.68 rear

740CC injectors

Splitfire coils

Full exhuast.

Bla Bla Bla who cares right?

and a fully stock motor.

Thanks for your help guys.

The old "seat of the pants" rule is the best. If it feels faster, then generally it is!

Temperature does play a bit role whether its hub or roller dyno.

The thermo will have removed alot of paracitic drag from the motor.

Shoot out mode always reads higher because of the ramp rate the dyno runs at, hence some exagerated dyno figures but no proof on the track!

Slower ramp rate (more load on the cell) = more exact power figure :P

Thats not true, if cars are set up differently less laggyer but maybe a bit less power, different turbo setups etc some may feel faster but loose top end depending on tune etc.

Post up dyno sheet.

i noticed the thermo fan straight away, car was less rough and went to redline heaps quicker. And it was the same dyno. Checked the compression before the run and changed coils was between 148 and 151 across all cylinders and dont think i had any vac leaks.

    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it. 
    • Save the youtube time, I can explain in a couple of sentences:   Internal Combustion Engines run on smoke which is factory installed. If at any time the smoke escapes (generally via the exhaust), the engine will stop running.
    • That specific R33 GTST issue I ran across was putting a PowerFC into a series 2; it required a fuse added into an existing but unused circuit to fire up the PFC. That won't be the issue here as I assume the ECU powered up (OP surely would have mentioned if they couldn't connect). As Matt said, Haltech do have specific information about wiring in the Platinum Pro where there are minor differences across the 2 row plug models (R32/R33 from memory). Quick Start guide at this link: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-055101-platinum-pro-plug-in-ecu/# At a quick glance, it is more likely to be a local wiring issue than ECU wiring (eg that connector near the left headlight might have differences) Start with the age old question....are you getting fuel and spark, at the right time
    • Stay away from Enkeis for track use, they crack, just ask the Evo kids. I'd take Murray's advice and put the widest forged wheels in the right offset under them I could find
