Thanks Nelson.

Chad, how does your EH Enhanced Automotive Mainline dyno run compare to your PGA Graham West Mainline dyno run from earlier this year - have you made any significant changes since then?

I've had runs of 366, 364rwkw on a Mainline and a few runs of just under 350rwkw on a Dyno Dynamics over the year - two weekends ago the most recent.

From what I've seen over the last 10yrs of dyno use and across a range of roller dyno's, most are within 15-20rwkw at worst.

Thanks Nelson.

My first run with new turbo's was 316kw at Willall in Jan this year, then 311kw at Grahem West in March. Only change is the straight through exhaust.

I just had a look at my peak boost on my boost controller from the dyno runs and it was only 1.22 bar which is less than 18psi :P

I was trying to turn it up after each run but it wouldn't go any higher, maybe i was doing it wrong?

So the Willall and GW runs were damn close - 316 vs. 311. The low tyres pressures (resulting in excessive tyre distortion – a sure-fire area for dyno losses) and reduced boost pressure would easily account for a slightly lower than normal figure.

At this point I’d like to borrow a line from Sesame Street, and announce that the info’ above was brought to you, Chad, by the letter E, and the numbers 8 and 5 :P 1:18’s and beyond are there for the taking.

i have also found that GWW dyno and boostworx dyno readouts are about 5rwkw give or take.....and thats mainline at GWW and dyno dynamics at boostworx.....all depends on calibration i guess and maintenance

    • 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
