40kw @ all 4! - Dyno day pix and results...


Recommended Posts

Thanks to Nick and Sam for hosting us for a fun day :P

Not a huge turnout considering we were keen to do some fundraising for MAS, but many thanks to all those who came along. Ash arranged some fantastic trophies (can someone post a photo, I forgot) and the 'How much power does the Lada have' comp was great fun and helped raise a bit of coin :)

So...

Best power 4WD was JagR33 (Jack), best power RWD was Slayer_1971 (Rohan). Can't remember exact numbers - Rohan, Ash has your trophy.

The Lada made 40kw at all 4 wheels - with a top speed of 136km/h :)

Snowman (Andrew) was closest at 37kw!

The raffle was not run, as not enough people were there - so we'll hold it at AutoSalon, buy tix from the stand, to draw on Sunday arvo when the dyno comp finishes.

Thanks again to everyone who came along :P

Just a couple of photos:

if some people didnt know me i was the guy who turned up in the red ford raider that would easily put the lada niva gtr to shame (a mazda engine is better than a french engine/commy engerneering)

i had to leave because today was a greek festival and it was my final performance after 13 years, so yeah had to rest for that, and i also met steve bracks, but didnt hit him, he shook my hand....sorry guys :P

Wow...Didn't think I'd win a trophy for the best power RWD....I beleave my best run was about 161KW.....Had to leave early but James I've deposited some money into your account as a donation.

Thanks to all the organisers

hahahahaha 40kw at all 4 :(

sorry couldnt make it... had to fix up mine and josies car

i have some things for the raffle... those bendix metals for the rears of a 32... kinda stupid if u dont have a 32 but u could always sell them for some bling bling :D

btw james i xfered the $10 into ur account for the shirts for me an josie cause i only gave u 50 at the last MAS meeting

And the trophy probably would have suited you too INASNT :(

Correction: there were plenty of people who turned up - its just that not a lot actually dyno'd their cars. Including me because I don't want to start all over again with dyno's - better to stick to same brand AND workshop for comparing future mods etc. I know it was a fundraiser but I didnt have the cash to do a dyno just for the sake of it.

Was good to catch up with people and talk to a couple of new people too :D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
