haha dammit, hoping nobody checked the new SAU jumpers out, theyre pretty comfy but the models need work lol

for everybody scratching there heads check out the NSW section and look at the NEW Merchandise

Sarge's car made 244kw at ADVAN performance on 11psi, then 1st run on our dyno it barely made over 200 from memory, after we had tuned it it made 244kw on 19psi, there is something holding this car back, according to Tao the intake pipe on this car is a 60kw restriction, Sarge is in the process of making a new intake pipe but has run into major issue's since doing so, looks like his car will need a full retune due to the different position of the AFM.

Harey what makes you say the dyno i use is a happy dyno? that is actually quite funny cause if it was a happy dyno than everycar i have tuned would be making unrealistic numbers which they don't. even funnier that before we started tuning Dave's car there was a comment made about atleast 1 person on SAU saying i bet its a happy dyno.

So back on topic, Tao how's things going

I never said you had a happy dyno?? All I was saying is if you are using a different ramp rate then the full boost @ X rpm will be different. In this very thread Stao did back to back tests and proved this.

Using the same dyno and tuner as Stao uses, I have never seen a HKS2835 Pro S hit full boost before 3500rpm using a 9 second ramp rate. Just trying to compare apples with apples.

Come one Sarge fix ya issues :P

BTW these discussions are more on topic then SAU jumpers or zombies :whistling:

I would rather a longer ramp rate to better match the car being on the road.

Eg from 1500rpm to 7500rpm in 4th is going to take longer than 9secs when you are on the road

Is pulling from 1500rpm really indicative of on road performance? The only time I pull from 1500rpm is when I'm going to shift at 3000rpm. If I want the car to get up, I'll give it a gear or two and be pulling from 4k or more.

I'm not particularly concerned about performance off boost or below about 4000rpm (as long as it's not dire).

It it absolutely indicative on on road performance in my book...you dont drive every where like its a race track, so being able to pull cleanly away from low revs and big throttle is important.

And to me is a key difference between a good tune and a crap tune...even if they both make the same peak power

Its also the key difference between a decent and crap turbo...

Well that just says a lot about the performance of my ss-1 then doesn't it. :(

A tune of arse aside (which is obvious so a 9 or 12 second pull is irrelevant), not driving like you're on a track supports my belief. If you're driving around "normally", assuming the car isn't running a T88 or the tune isn't borked to hell, it's not really important what it's like pulling from 1500rpm. How many times do you have WOT at 1500rpm? if it's often, then you're doing it wrong.

If I am WOT, then it's pretty unlikely that I'm going to wait around for 2000rpm for my turbo to come on the boil. I'm going to give it a gear or two and get it into lots of boost and then go WOT.

Ok then if the part about the happy dyno wasn't aimed at me then its all good.

In relation to ramp rates, i used the same ramp rates on dave's car as i did dynafits ss1.5 and sarge's ss2 so tht would have to be the best comparison seeing as its the same dyno. And its not in victoria or wa lol :P

So if we can dig up sarge's and dynafit's sheets we can hv a looksy. Once sarge has his car up and running again i will do a full tune on it.

Harey i know ur not a believer but come for a drive and get dave to take u for a run. His car really does do exactly what he says.

Yes yes :)

but sometimes you dont have time to go back a couple of pegs...eg merging.

There are huge torque gains to be had by spending an hour or so on the off boost low rev area of them map.

I.e when I get the JZ tuned with the t78...I'll need to spend ages on the off boost part to make as much torque as possible for the around town drive.

Not sure how relevant this is but Trent gave me a simple way of thinking about the ramp rates, 9 second ramp rate is similar to having 1-2 people in the car, 12+ second ramp rate is like having 3-4 people.

Zeb the only thing u need to be aware of is advancing the timing in off boost area can make the boost laggier. Sometimes u need to use less timing to get the turbo spooling which promotes power, even a few psi is going to help.

Any chance of posting up some dyno sheets directly comparing the 3 turbos on the same screen?

I am sure Dave's car is a beast! My point was that there are other turbos that can do similar. Is Dave's car with the sexy shiny engine bay? Thats another thing that car has aftermarket plenum etc etc, not a true comparison to bolting a turbo on with a new exhaust, afm and injectors. The 2 Hypergear turbos you have tuned dont necessarily show what they are capable of either. Thats all I am saying is I would love to see a direct comparison.

Yes I am bitter that I cant afford a setup like Dave's :worship:

Isn't it more like driving in 1st gear, or say 4th gear? Or say driving up a really steep hill?

Yeah thats the one :blush: Just dont tell the wifey how much i have spent!!!

Thread with dyno sheet can be foundhere

We are going to tidy it up a bit in the next few weeks, time got away from us on the friday sorting out some other issues

Yeah, Its a bit of a catch 22 lol

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
