Yet another keyboard god that knows everything from behind the computer screen just ask him....

Try geting some real world experience old boy instead of just reading the interwebs then thinking your an expert on everything

dude, Hadouken wasn't even having a go at you, he was commenting on the Canadian GTR vid posted above. You're (as in 'you are') taking swipes at people who aren't even talking about you.

If you honestly don't care, you certainly have a funny way of showing it....

and as for that Canadian GTR, in the link posted to the GTR forum... it says 94 octane, not VP 109, so about 98-100 here.... 470rwkw.... that's seriously impressive! Only 21psi as well!! That's a farken good effort as we know the numbers are legit.

*goes to have a word with my 26*

:D

He was actually right.

People are questioning things, that's the purpose of the forum. It does not give you the right to go on the personal against them all however - time to pull your head in.

Fair call by bad.

I definately don't know everything and I'm still learning i was simply trying to show my experiences in regards to my setup.

It just seemed like a few guys thought I had fabricated the dyno results out of thin air or something which gets frustrating after the dollars I have spent.

End rant

I think everything needs to lighten up as we are talking about cars here & not kids.

I too am extremely passionate about cars & I probably sometimes over do it as well haha, but we should all feel privileged that ppl choose to share their results of their pride & joy after heavy investment...does it honestly matter if someone is making mid 400's or high 400's? pffft

Mark-32: It is evident that you are making serious power on that track (don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out). I'd like to see more ppl push the envelope like you have - congrats again & enjoy it.

Yeah I understand that and I wasnt even going to put the graphs up but someone pm'd me so I emailed them to him then he posted them up.

I dont have the recent graphs on me but the car now runs a haltech and with a normal boost curve on the same dyno it makes 430-450kw in 5th with a fair bit of wheelspin.

That figure seems to be the norm for dash 5's

Thanks mate appreciate it.

Dyno figures are not god and overule! Too many factors that can be changed to alter power readings

I would have to add something to that in saying it's more often not changing of figures rather than incorrect setup of the dyno. Strap it down too loose and the wheel pulls up too far on to the front roller and bam, there's another 50hp. Air temp in the wrong place (by mistake) or just an inaccurate uncalabrated dyno.

Most times the dyno operator isn't doing it intentionally but mph on a drag strip has always been the best way to determine how accurate that power figure is.

That is completely true but.....

I think SAU has been around long enough to be able to make claim to being the absolute best source of information available in the world. It's really nice for people to share their passion and their joy here but at the same time, the figures MUST be open to scrutiny if they are more than expected or even lower for that matter. It's a public forum, people have different opinions and knowledge.

The worst thing for us is when we build/tune a car that has a specific setup based on what a mate has or what he read on a forum and it doesn't get the result they hoped for. Sometimes by a long shot!. They go down the road and get a higher reading and then suddenly tuner #1 is a bad tuner or their dyno reads 'low'. Get a print out from the other that says 550hp in your 33 GTST but only run 122mph

Well f**k low, f**k it in its arse. Go out and run it down the 1/4. I guarantee you'll run the mph that's accurate for the power and weight you have.....if you make it to the end in one piece hehe.

Reading, learning from others and pulling ones head in can often make you a smarter man, but only when you know what information to listen to and what information to hear.

Finally someone with some backed up proof.

How much does your car weigh? I suspect you have more than 480kw

... why?

I used to run 136/8mph in '06 with just shy of 400rwkw and a little hit of gas (50hp). Full weight r32GTR.

Your mph suggests you have more like 620-650hp (462-485kw)

What did it make with the gas included?

lol, i can understand people thinking Ash is a flamin mongrel some times, ..lol, ..having said that, after being made a moderator

on another forum, it ain't as easy as it looks and gets old very quick..not many people have the time or the patience for it..as well as

it being unpaid for.. its all basically for the love..if you did it for a while, you'd be just as harsh or worse, i can guarantee it..

cheers

It's all water off a ducks back to me really - but I know you get it Darren :)

End of the day people get their backs up too often when questioned... If they didn't want to be questioned, don't post.

Thread cleaned - I did try to give a friendly warning, seems it lasted about 4 posts and off topic it went again.

If its water off a ducks back then why delete my post.....

You still didn't answer my question either where is your 400kw results...?

Remembering what you said if you don't want to be questioned then don't post....

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
