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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
