so its rwkw but fw-torque :unsure:

did i mention i dont like mainline hahahah thats the weirdest shit tho

the bloke who took out the day bosko(ba f6) reeled off 510rwkw on a d/d then 447rwkw today with a very same torque figure 1088nm i think it was but that would definately be doing high nm @wheels running 24+psi through a 4litre i was totally shocked at the torque figure of mine in relation to kw but what bosko made 447/1088 seemen on the money........got me all a little confusious :mellow:

Last year i put my BF XR6T on the rollers at Willalls and reeled off 270rwkw compared to 327rwkw on Bruce's dyno (16psi, Process west surge tank, E-bay cooler, 40lb injectors, BP ultimate). TBH i wasnt too fussed with the difference i was actually expecting it. Next stage is bigger injectors, .7 front cover, E85 and decent clutch, will be tuning on 20-24psi. Be interesting to see the difference E85 makes....The Skyline was like night and day when it was tuned on E85, hoping for the same from the XR6.

Hey Sled the FG looks the goods mate.

when you need a clutch get a quote and get in touch with me ;)

Will do thanks Steve. Was thinking about getting an Extreme which is what i have in th Skyline (Very happy with it). What can you get your hands on???

Thanks Lee..........again we see a difference of almost 60rwkw between a Mainline and a DD (Disney Dyno) :P

I would've thought a difference of 10 - 20 rwkw would be the expected norm, but 60 - 80rwkw is just crazy and worth investigating as to why the huge difference......................MARTIN, WHERE ARE YOU!!!!

when you need a clutch get a quote and get in touch with me ;)

But it's a Ford Stevey Boy :P

Don't listen to the plebs Jet......you're more than welcome here bud............they're only jealous cause neither of them have ever experienced an 11 sec car (let alone a potential 10 sec job) :spank:

I've experienced a 10 second bike! Actually, I still ride it frequently ... does that count? :P Built a turboed 9 second bike, but that scared the shit outta me, so I guess I'm still not quite a 'man' yet :laugh:

Fords I can put up with. But if we start venturing into Commonwhore discussions, oh there'll be hell to pay :down:

are you sure that you guys aren't quoting tractive effort instead of true torque. XR6T's are making around the mid 500 Flywheel Nm mark from factory and you aren't doubling the power so there is no way that you are doubling the torque, since the two are related. So either your are making the power a lot later in the rev range or you aren't making 1000nm.

I'd also like to say a big thank you to Matt Sherlock, Nightcrawler, Matty T, and Vu for coming over today to move some f**kin big H beams for my floor ... and drinking my beer and eating pizza!

Happy to help Roo! Let me know when the phase of the project is taking place and I'll bring some rigging gear over.

On the subject of thankyou's, Andrew and Matty T cheers boys for the carbon wrap job. Awesome effort :thumbsup:

Was a pleasure meeting you guys today.

No worries Matty, hope you like it! Nice to meet you too mate - happy to help out one of the SAU community. :D

mate you addicted to that stuff, looking for and suggesting what we can wrap on my car the other week.

hopefully catch up for a drink once your back from Kadina

assuming thats flywheel torque, thats still pretty decent (550-600nm at the wheels?). nice power

-D

There is a lot of confusion regarding torque readings on dynos.

The chassis dyno shows - Engine Torque At The Wheels. In other words engine torque MULTIPLIED by the gear ratio used, diff ratio, and tyre size. We can take that into account and correct it by using the Mainlines Derived Torque function which requires we take an engine speed reading during the run. This is something we normally do not do at dyno days as it takes a little longer to implement and 'hook up'.

yeh original were off heinrichs 510-421 and yeh both running e85 as u said if u can reel off a 300 on a mainline its guna cut the mustard nicely.we have done some back to back runs across adelaide hpt vs k.p.m vs southern hi tek but they were all d/d and were showing very ball park figures but the mainline seems to be the differ

There is no dyno debate, there are actually very simple explanations for the power difference.

When run in Shootout Mode (6F is recommened for the Falcon) the Dyno Dynamics - ADDS - power to the rear wheel reading to compensate for what it considers to be acceptable driveline loss. In othere words there is a bit of software in the dyno program that says 'Ok this is a forced induction six cylinder so it must have a gearbox that takes this much energy to turn, wheels this big, and a driveline that weighs this much....so lets multiply the rear wheel power by a correction factory as we put it on the screen' to give a nice figure

Mainline actually shows you the power - and torque - you ARE HITTING THE ROAD WITH

The rear wheel kilowatt figure is what you have accelerating you down the strip

The rear wheel torque figure (which is multiplied by the gear/diff ratio) is also what is accelerating you down the strip, hence you accelerate faster in third gear than fourth gear (more torque multiplication)

There is no manipulation of the figures to present them in a more readable or acceptable format. Raw data is the Mainlines strength

All the dynos that you state read close to each other are all applying the some artificial power reading correction to the figures, hence the warm fuzzy feel good factor for the laminate racers and the equally head scratching track times. Hope that makes sense :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
