you believe rego papers? :down:

Mine was nothing near what the sticker had, fked if i know where those numbers come from to be honest because they certainly are not putting the cars onto the scales!

Rego is ridiculous, I swear they estimate that shit. They still think my 1994 Soarer is a 1992 Supra.

Going off my current specs the Richmond calcultor is on the money ET wise. It says I should be running 10.0 with 503rwhp. I have run 10.4 with a an average 60ft of 1.7 (radials) so a 1.5 should net me that flat 10. My trap speed was more at 136.52 over the 133 that it said.

However, when I was on a 98RON tune rather than E85 pump fuel making 391hp my car trapped 131mph and 134mph (11.0 and 11.2)

There were other factor such as a 1.87 60ft on both passes, smaller 225 tyres. The Moroso says 10.7 @ 121mph.

Torque is something so often overlooked when it comes to dynos, an example is the above 391hp pump tune compared to 520hp I had with a less active motor with a big turbo and lots of boost.

391hp = 134mph GT3037S, big cams, ported head 19psi BP 98

520hp = 137mph T88, small cams and not much else 29psi Race tune

Same dyno, different engines only different was tyres and of course lots more torque in the engine making less peak hp and way more mid range.

I've found the Morosso calculator pretty accurate with most cars.

With the higher power ones, its almost impossible to get acurate dyno readings with rolling roads or hub dynos with auto's and big converters but based on weight and mph it seems like a pretty good guide.

Mph is where its at as far as whp goes IMO, its possible to get real good ETs with a good chassis etc but the mph V weight still gives a good indication of whp.

I saw a car run 7.3 off a 1.0 60ft with less mph than my 240z running 7.8 but I bet if we worked it out off his weight his mph would accuratly reflect whp.

The moroso calc. works ok.... for calculations.

Until you drive the time in real life you got nuthin. If the moroso says 10 flat and you run 10.999 then 10.999 is what your car runs till you better it in the real world.

Talk is cheap take it to the track. :P

While I agree with part of what you are saying, the Moroso calculator is on the money. Gee the V8 boys would cringe if you dare said something about their bible haha.

WHEN I nail a 1.5 60ft my car WILL run 10 flat but unfortunately no cage = one run wonders at the track and no chance to improve.

I wasn't taking what you wrote personally by the way, I was just using myself as an example :P

I like the glass half full approach too. Keeps you trying.

You may get the 1.5 60ft but, the car may also break every time you nail it. Thats the tragic facts of racing. I know of many who never got to thier goal times even though power and the moroso calculator were on thier side.

The calculator also assumes that you are making that horse power at the track on the day and the time you race and people base this on some dyno they my have had 6 months ago. The dyno is again, another one of thos bits of paper with limited value in racing.

So once again, until it's done a 10 flat it's not done 10 seconds flat. :cool:

The difference is simply average power. If you were able to gear the car for the peaky powerband you would see a big change in ts.

Anything can and happen, I know this. But the Moroso calculator isn't based on you nailing a 1.5 60ft time and blowing a diff, or missing a gear, or engines that have lost comp since they were dyno'd in 1980.

Anyway, I think we've stated the obvious enough already.

Peace.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
