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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
