Dude,

I love this site. And we keep referring people to the dyno results threads when they ask for "what turbo" etc.

I'm happy to code up a database where people can log their details about their cars properly, and then we can do searches based on what turbo, what power, etc and have rankings etc...

If I was going to do something like this, would you like me to have it hosted on SAU, or do my own thing on a seperate server that you can then link to, or what?

If we were going to do this, i'd love to open it up to suggestions from all members, so i can come up with the ultimate plan before we get started, maybe have a list of parts, and you can choose which ones you are using, so people can search for other members with certain mods.

Thoughts?

That wouldn't be a major issue to setup.

However what will be - is stopping the ridiculous results and so on getting in there.

Nothing to stop someone creating some bogus claim and entering it in which would throw the results off and so on.

It would also need to convert km/h to RPM based on standard gearing (32-33, & 34) as many people only have km/h

Yea, we'd definitely need some moderators or something.

I figure we could have comments on each result, so people could ask questions / make accusations etc :P

I think the gearing thing would be very, very easy, i'd just need to find out what figure i need to mutilpy/divide by to get RPM.

Have you guys thought of doing this before?

Its a really good idea.

possibly have someone screen results before they are approved such as they have in the buildups and projects section.

IE

No dyno sheet and no information = f**k off.

Could work easy.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
