Any thoughts on the accuracy of the dyno today?

I had a confusing result at 215 4wkw compared to my last dyno session of 282 4wkw.... and today i was running slightly more boost. i know all dyno's are different but with a difference that big, something is going on with my car or the dyno. I'm hoping its not my car that's the problem.

The dyno was reading about 40rwkw lower than "normal". Some one tried to explain that this dyno was "accurate", but quickly stopped when i asked him to explain how my mechanic's dyno, the Autosalon dyno and Racingline dyno all produced the same figures when i ran my car, with the previous setup. Hard to believe that everyone else's dyno is inaccurate :P.

At the end of the day you know it's about 40rwkw lower, but it still a good day because the reading were consistent and you can compare your mods and power to others.

Was a great day and good to see such a decent turn out.

Yep, definitely the dyno.

I had picked up my car Friday afternoon where it had just finished being tuned in front of me, and made 253rwkw...I went to Kamikaze simply to compare the 2 dynos, and made 216rwkw....so just under 40rwkw less, pretty much the same as at least 2 other cars I know the figures of (Al and Nick), who also made 30-40rwkw less than what they normally do.

Not to mention Ron's GTR making something like 70awkw less...

Awsome photos guys, so many nice rides there today, a great day to renew.

Ey Doski you were there??! I didn't see you or your car... Ah well theres always the next meet up ey :P

Ps. Great photos PhatBoy, really got some good shots of individual cars and the whole line up in the carpark.

Agreed that the dyno was reading low...my supra was tuned at Status and made 256rwkw and it made 226rwkw at kamikaze today...again...we know dynos read differently but thats a rather large variation...

anyone know when the next dyno day might come up? hopefully before the next member renuwal next year.

ill have my car at its peak by then for sure

more boost and finally............. completely tuned even with a gear box that has all the gears in one piece too

so up to 40kw more hey??? i was happy with my 152.6rwkw lol

ne one got pics of my car on the dyno?? i didnt take my camera as i wasnt gonna dyno it but the i got convinced by wayne to chuck it on lol

Yeah... -40rwkw is a pretty big difference.

I uploaded the two photos I took of your ride to that photobucket account. Should be the first 2 pics. Here it is again.

yep. my GTR made 70awkw less as well. They must have had there settings for GTRs a bit out. Anyway, i'm glad its there dyno rather than my car!

yeh my car does not feel like 180rwkw :laugh:

got anymore pics of the white 4 door?

an can you send me them all (including the ones you took) in hi res thanks :laugh:

any othe2 32 gts-ts run? wat sorta power they make?

i seemed to think the more standard cars pulled power figures they shouldve

but i didnt hang around to see, but me, Dezz, Al, Ron and many others were all down ~40kw, gtrs up to ~70kw

i dont know if its 40kw out or a certain %. My friends 100% standard evo 7 made 150rwkw. Does that mean its got closer to 190 with a standard exhaust and standard boost?

there was one at RE looked and sounded very standard, maybe a turbo back or just cat back.

pulled 211 i think .....

i'll stand to be corrected though

Heheh - is that the one we were betting on at the end of the day?? :thumbsup:

Maybe the correction factor differed or inlet temps were measured differently...so many variables. Sorry to hear so many saddened by their numbers.

Was cool to see so many whales in the 1 location. hehe.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
