Yeah, seriously - 4"... do you realise how much of a mad combination you've got here? :worship: I'd probably have gone for slightly larger cams, but regardless - this thing is going to have such an insane amount of power everywhere it makes me fizz.

Same power for slightly less boost. (As im intentiinaly limiting it) This boost chart show Max boost like 4k. He recons more preload will / better tune will knock a bit off that. Made 293 rwkw.

So it was run up on Trents dyno and then Trent made 20 more? or is this 20 more between the 2 dynos? If in the short time Trent had it he was able to make 20 more kw then its certainly got some left in it

Not bagging out Trent but dynos are tuning tools and should not be used for comparisons.

Lol. Dyno are not meant for camparison. Every dyno is different. That 20 is just the difference in dyno. The boost v rpm is alot more accurate to what I feel with my foot to be honest. Very close to my own in car findings.

To those who want to see the real response etc do we want to get the donations started for a tune through Trent if i cant get avo to sort it? I can't afford it after the thousands I dropped for this install.

unfortunately many dyno plots leave a lot to be desired and tend to give you a rounded / smoothed result.... nothing like the actual curve. In this case the the original dyno only had a few plots (often between 10-20 points of reference over whole graph which is very coarse) which were then interpolated to make a pretty average curve.

We were able to give an accurate graph with far more refference plots (plots every 50 rpm on average) based actual time in that particular gear same as it would see on the road, this graph far closer represented the on road feel.

We did not touch the car tune wise at all, i dont think its fair on the other shop, im sure they will rectify it without fuss.

Luckily we are able to extract far more accurate results with the dynapck but we had to pay a premium for it $$$ wise when we first purchased the dyno, as for the power difference it is very common to see around 20rwkw difference from that particular dyno to mine, it is a genuinely low reading dyno compared to the various others in the area.

I know most dynos will read different but we are lucky enough to have at least five or 6 around that read within a very small margin which allows for quick easy comparisons. i even had the opportunity to directly compare a car from HPF on friday and the difference @310rwkw was 3 kw.... but our curve was much more detailed and showed up alot of detail not show on the other dyno plot... not bad tune detail but actual engine characteristics dulled out by roller inertia.

Dyno are tools and as long as you extract the relevant data your chasing in the most detail then the actual number is irrelevant and in this particular case a few simple runs showed exactly what needs rectifying.

My point exactly. Way to many variables that could affect the power output. I dont know why AVO ran it in 3rd gear as it should have been run in fourth but that normally wont make much difference to the kw reading.

Send it down the drag strip now and see what mph you can run with it then get it retuned/sorted out and re run it again. Thats the best comparison.

Our car use to make 460rwkw but only managed to run 128mph on one or two occasions, mid to low 120's were pretty normal for it.... now it makes about 40rwkw less but runs into the mid 130's on a regular basis. Dyno's figures and peak power dont mean shit really :P

I don't think anyone here was expecting there to be much wrong with the final power number. It looked a bit lazy coming on boost to most of us and that implied that there was more that could be done in the set up. Hopefully AVO can fine tune the potential issues you found and get Shifty the best result from his new turbo.

4 inch will be the go then! soon as i have some progress will let you all know

There would be some good gains in the gate preload, i would nearly double it and that should see around 20rwkw @ 4000rpm alone, increasing the map resolution from 120kpa to 180-220kpa will stop it "flat-lining" give more control in the fuelling map. And finally setting the Vct.

Sounds like what we expected for the most part.

Not enough time/effort was put in initially. Thanks for clearing it up :)

Not surprised that there is a bit more response left in the setup, looked far too laggy/unresponsive compared to what seems to be floating around in the GT35R range

Trent - There is a huge difference in a dyno that is setup right versus a dyno that is just set up. It also means a huge difference between brands of dyno as well. We used a DD where i worked and it was pretty decent. But, i no longer work there and another shop looks after our tuning duties now and their operator knows a lot more about the setup and back end so they can work with theirs a lot more effectively. Its all knowledge as Tyson is going to find out with his car it would seem.

It sounds to me that AVO just arent up to speed with what needs to be done. Thats not to knock them, some workshops just arent that way inclined with certain cars, nor are they prepared to take the time to carry out the R&D, but i guess you need to give them a chance before you go elsewhere.

I know the feeling though as i toiled with a high RPM miss fire for quite a while. After re wiring a few things and purchasing a brand new CAS the problem still wasnt fixed. Unigroup tried tuning the car but straight away said it has the dredded incorrect RPM signal being sent to the ECU at around 8000+rpm.

The new Harmonic balancer with triggers that Ross Balancers now market was designed on our car. It works a treat and it sorted it all out instantly. It now revs to 9000+rpm very cleanly. Pretty disppointed thats all it was but I just didnt know how to fix it :( Not everyone knows everything....

we are not interested in the peak, its all the important stuff we were asked to look at.... ie low mid and transitional.

Yeah i understand, i used DD most of the time prior to opening up, i ended up with the dynapck after a really long decision process and after using the other offerings... it was not a plain sailing though as family friends own DTS dynos and unfortunately it did not meet my requirements and they no longer talk to us.. my biggest concern with the dynapck was the "perceived" setup time... i was always told by the DD guys it tok to long to setup but to be honest it takes less time than strapping a car down so luckily it was a moot point.

i reckon if i was offered to swap my 2wd for a new 4wd dyno for FREE, i would decline.. i would rather pay for the dynapack upgrade.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
