No, below 60% i run low boost, above that i press high boost.... Only picked up the car Monday so i am yet to try high boost.... Am up to E54 or something....

aahh

my boost is going to be controlled through the Haltech solenoid so its going to adjust it accordingly...

really interested to see when its all finished

Would still very much like to see some MPHs out of these cars to see where it all sits, to date there isn't for any of them.

Thats because MPH readings are over in 13 seconds... Dragging the average uleh commodore isn't that appealing. Sprinting is where its at.

I'll do the 1/4 mile one day, but i actually have to get my car back together before i can do any event lol.

:yes:

However your approach to corners is a little different then most :P

Nothing wrong with that. As long as it has corners you can take at speed thats all that counts. :P Unlike events like power cruise :ph34r:

With "360rwkw" it should be well and truly over in 11 :)

But then you did say "at the hubs", so at least you get that it's not really "rwkw" :thumbsup:

We like to use a hub dyno because nothing such as tyre pressure, tyre grip, wheels size, wheel width, tyre temperature etc etc can effect the outcome. Its always the same, no ifs or butts.

If you use Temperature correction then the results are as real as they come. YES there is a difference between power at the hubs and power at the wheels. Personally i dont care if its making less than XX kW @ the wheels.

Personally i want the most accurate figure possible so the tuner can do his job even better. The torque accuracy of the hub dyno is second to none. It calculates diff ratio and will give you the actual torque created at the flywheel by the engine.

MPH times really aren't an accurate way of proving or dis proving a car/engine setup. Far too many variables. Different drivers, different cars, different suspension setups, different tyres, reaction times the list goes on.

Just because a car makes a gazillion kW on a dyno doesn't make it the be all and end all. But on the flip side a car that only produces a 'low' power output doesn't make it a car that can't perform and put serious numbers down.

MPH never lies, the slight variables only ever have a 1-2mph effect at best as we are not talking tightly set-up 9 second cars where things like tyre size will actually make a difference to peak RPM(limiter avoiding) and so on. MPH has called the bluff many times over the years on here and will no doubt continue to do so for many years to come :)

Group dyno days also work in the same fashion (and the same excuses for not going come up) - It's always a laugh to see a car having a "bad" day when its 50rwkw down for "no apparent reason"... Or should I say, suddenly making realistic figures.

I've also seen @ some dyno days, the operator playing with the old temp correction trick for their own cars so they make more than anyone else's :)

Either way I wasn't having a go at you - you say it's @ the hubs and not "rwkw" like other claim - that is a damn good thing.

It sets realistic expectations for other users so they suddenly don't come along thinking you can make XXX"rwkw" from a set-up that simply put, will never make that.

Then we end up with threads here "Why am I down on power", "Is my tune shit" - list goes on. Other users face palm and then such threads end up a lot of time going nowhere.

Mines rwkw :D

you done?

I'll be done, when you are done claming rwkw** for hub results and misleading users.

(**as proven to be inaccurate to the tune of 40-60kw, by other users who've done back to back tests).

That's cause he sets it up right. He even have you pointers to do the same in a thread a lil while back :thumbsup:

Claims? Other users have proven it with evidence! That is not a claim.

For the love of god Ash, don't go onto the pommie site. Had one guy the other day '550-600 HP "at the fly" when he hadn't even stuck it on a dyno.

You will have a heart attack and die I'm sure of it.

All my tunes have been done in the same set up mode, ramp rate and temp probe on as what Trentuses, sorry to burst your bubble.

One time it was tuned and made over 400kw however that was due to the temp probe not beingon thanks to the last user in the dyno taking it off

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
