Just got back from the Liberty club dyno day at Edge Motorworks, i'm buggered after strapping 23 awd cars down to the dyno but what a great day.

Anyway, my winning result was 341.1kw at around 23psi, just shy of my 350kw goal. Cihan (my tuner) decided not to push it further as the compressor was out of flow again and he doesn't want to see me brake it for no reason. Very happy with the result though, its unbelievable to drive and it's a stupidly responsive turbo for the power output. Also good to hear that the Edge dyno is comparable in output to many of the other local tuning shops.

Shame I didn't get the torque graph, you can plainly see the compressor flow dropping off as efficiency goes out the window.

Awesome effort once again Scotty; you must be stoked with the result. :thumbsup:

Never ceases to amaze me just what you've been able to acheive with this car; sure has come a long way since that 180ish kw dyno run!

Well done.

Thanks Dale. :)

Generally in 4th gear you wouldn't have anything below that sort of speed, its not like you take off in 4th from the lights. The goal is to have at least 4000 revs of usable power then select the correct gear to use it.

Obviously this is much laggier than the stock setup but above 4000 revs it is very responsive, boost hits instantly. its only below that where is comes on slower but it is still acceptable in my eyes, remember most of the highflow turbos going in are around the same wheel size, mine just has a larger rear housing for flow.

Ok thanks for the explanation. When do you get boost in 1st gear then? I can't imagine what it's like to drive our cars with a laggy turbo as they seems such slugs until boost kicks in. I imagine yours would be a whole new ball game with a manual box in it. Are you still considering this?

What did you Rev it out to? I would have thought top of 4th would be over 200. Guess I'll see on the dyno on the weekend. Didn't look at the speedo last time.

The dyno has a speed restriction of 200kph, I have no idea what revs its at when it hits that. Seeing we run the same diffs can you let me know? Are our gearboxes the same ratio?

Boost in first is absolutely useless, especially in rear drive. (It will light up second in the dry) Usually around 5k I would say at a guess. Remember though, I have a 4k stall converter once boost ramps so once the initial second of nothing has passed it is always on boost, whatever gear i'm in.

It was interesting going up a hill on the freeway in the wet the other day, just leaning on the throttle, and as boost ramps the car stepped out at 100kph in 4th. :blink: I need the front diff in soon, before winter hits.

So yes we should be the same ratio's depending on your rolling diameter.......4th gear should just about be smack on 220-230km/h for you!

You mean like a few weeks ago?? :rolleyes:

At least you guys can drive...try public transport in this shitty weather...

At least you have public transport

I have to walk to work 65kms each way... in the snow... uphill... :P

Both self inflicted so no sympathy here. lol.

I'll check it out on the weekend and let you know.

Thanks Alex, it will be interesting to see how much of the graph is missing. Perhaps there IS a little more in it...

I don't think more lag would be a good idea, although I can still hit full boost in 5th on the freeway cruising thanks to the stally. I'm probably going down the built 3.5 path next, just to give you a run for your money Alex. When are you winding up the wick?

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
