Who? Wetheringtons? The first Wetheringtons was a mobile service that went around to all the goldfields in Victoria so the miners could have their horses dynoed before they bought/sold a horse. The guy who had the mobile service, Arthur Wetherington later set up a workshop in Bendigo which was a great success. The business model was then franchised out to different people and I believe for a short while there was a Wetheringtons franchise in Perth.

Were they related to the pigeon racing wetheringtons from Woy Woy ?

He aw He aw..... He awlways asked this question.

If only the rep buttons were still there, that's a plus one :thumbsup:

Back on topic, I believe that donkeys are the diesel of the animal kingdom, Not huge power, but heaps of torque

That was borrowed from the LULZ thread I believe. The Kings Speech.

Anyway, I will leave you with the history of the boost.

As far as horses making 1.5 HP it is very possible. I mean we all know horses have power-bands, like any engine. You know how when you ride a horse and when you squeeze your boots into it and it goes from a trot to a canter to a sprint and you feel the increase in torque, they called that the "boots" but somewhere along the line it was misread as "boost", so the term boost that we all know so well actually comes from the good old days when we all used horses to get around.

While on the subject of donkeys and horses.

What other animal would you say a donkey would be closely related to?

If you said horse you would be correct. They are in the same family tree as say a cat and a lion. A dog and a bear.

A donkey's DNA and a horse's DNA are so similar that they can actually mate and produce offspring. Only animals with similar DNA can do this. Therefore a cat and a horse could not produce offspring.

Now to my point.

The closest related primate to humans has DNA that is even closely related than that of the horse and the donkey.

Therefore the primate and a human could actually mate and produce offspring.

Food for thought.

That explains so much about America's last president

I think the point has been missed. When a horse does a dyno pull it's a measurement of how far the horse can actually pull the dyno, converted into horsepower. This may explain the difference between dyno readings, as some dynos are heavier than others. I understand the distance can be improved by the fitment of a Polarhorseariser.

Explains a lot of the dumb shits on this planet lol.

EDIT: I swear the gods are looking down on me some times.

I just got a personal message that explains my DNA fact above.

This was a message I just received from a guy called NSNPWR.

Hey mate, remove head from ass anytime youre ready...let me just say a few things...I, like old mate in that thread ran 12s in my VL with around [email protected] to be precise with 205rwkw (on a DD dyno) out of a single cam RB30...Hiflow T3, T04B front, Haltech ECU, STOCK inlet and exhaust manifolds, STOCK head, baby Waggott cam, Jatco 4 speed and 2800 stall...I have the time slip right here if you' like to see it?...Pound for pound, a single cam RB30 will make as much if not more than a 25 and will hand a 20 its ass all day everyday!...Have you ever driven one with a decent setup? didnt think so...I know of one car here in SA that went low 10s at near on 140mph with the stock MX7 manual, 35/40 (1.06), Tighe cam with the stock head! That car made over 400rwkw on a hub dyno...I could go on but suggest you go do some reading before shooting your mouth off in future.

Cheers, Darren.

This message was aimed at my comment about no way in hell the OP in the previous thread made 200rwkw from a NA RB30 from spending $2000.

Any one notice the key factor that NSNPWR has some how missed? One key element?

How we survive as a species is beyond me.

Well chimpanzees are most closely similar except we cannot mate with one since we have millions of base pairs of DNA that's different. Not to mention the fact that we have 23 pairs of chromosomes and they have 24.

Mating a female horse with a male donkey - Mule

Mating a zebra with a donkey - Zonkey

Mating a female tiger with a lion - liger

Just a few of the bizzare examples :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
