this is where its @

engine dynod first then into the shop on the dynapack.... no bullshit "roller derived tractive effort" figures... just look at the torque (cold hard real torque).... i can tell you now nothing compares to driving something with this much horsepower and torque... and this is a daily driver, that returns 10-14l/100km

So what you trying to say here is the engine dyno gave the same results as the dynapack?

Or are you just flexing your e-wang ya show off...... :D

Ok so assuming a 1000rpm drop of changing up gears, when would you change gears on this monster car?

If your about torque then I would predict just above 5,000rpm and if your about power then around 6,500rpm.

Well if you thought that torque was the key to a fast car you would shift to maintain max average torque over the rpm range, and do the same for horsepower, obviously shifting to maximise max horsepower over the rev range makes a car faster, not peak torque.

You must read this thread: http://www.allpar.com/eek/hp-vs-torque.html

I think that solves all the issues.

we have already come to a conclusion and I believe everyone is happy they understand it, to maximise performance you want to shift at peak power and keep peak power under the curve, not peak torque under the curve, are you saying this is incorrect?

edit: that link says the same thing, so I'm assuming you are in agreeable with everyone?

Yup I am agreeing. I just think its a really good comprehensive explanation of it.

That was an awesome explanation of the problem.. its funny how he summed up so many points me n rolls covered.. with the whole cvt etc,

and this bit

"Hmmm... P = F * V ...rearrange to get F = P / V ...

that means that you get the maximum force pushing the car if you maximize your *Power* at any given velocity. This gives us another useful rule:

Shift to maximize engine POWER, not engine torque!"

funnily enough i had to use all these formulas for my exam today, except i had to calculate the maximum power i could get a car to produce at 80kmph and the equivalent engine rpm with different gears and the diff, subtract the drag power loses, then calculate the maximum hill gradient the 1800kg car could cruise up, P=mg sin(hill angle) * velocity ftw :thumbsup:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
