Dyno And Compression Question

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.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
