i didn't hear nathans car pinging its date off, i did hear/see it wheel spin excessivly tho..

the was a fair amount of tyre smoke after the first run..

can anyone, ant hopefully confirm what gear they did the runs in, because his and nathans cars seem to come on very hard and very fast, a lot faster than i expected..

or is it just possible the new formax guy running the dyno, got the ramp rates wrong?..

I saw someone mouthing "fourth" when they had one of the GTRs on the dyno ... can't remember which one it was though ...

Yes denver, the ramp rates were definetly wrong (either to low or high i dont know i dont know much about controlling a dyno) from what ant was saying to me, if u look at the graphs from both cars the power and torque lines are extremely short, which indicates the car reving to quick. Steve said they were know where near the 126 (*edit) they use in shootout mode

Both cars were definately done in fourth, but the ramp rates were around the 170-180's, which is way off the 100 they use in shootout mode. God only know's why Formaz chose ramp rates like that. The ramp rates for both Ant's and Nathans were very similar and didn't cause the difference in power, but I don't think either were strapped down anywhere near enough.

Still, everyone was dyno'd on the same day, under the same hot conditions ... Ant got 600-odd horsepower, Nathan got 475-odd ... well done to the both of them, it's still a shitload of power.

But, lets not bring on the excuses ... it's like the drags

The first 10 is all that matters.

Anyway Ant won and proves the new Wolf GTR plugin ECU with 6 ign drivers has the edge with more to come.Shootout uses 126 ramp rates and using 180 looses power in turbo cars but both Rs had the same rates.

The main problem with Nathans tune is the Dyno used for tuning reads craze power and has very quick ramping ( I have used it and can't get the boost on like other dynos)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
