What Turbo, Cams, Valve Springs, Valves, Head Work Do I Get?

[usmair]

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

[R31Nismoid]

0.63 vs 0.82

Exactly. Least I didn't have to say it.

Slightly less power, with bigger rear housing...

[R31Nismoid]

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.

some of us prefer tracks that have corners...

However your approach to corners is a little different then most

[kitto]

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

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"

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.

[R31Nismoid]

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.

only thing i've seen make a significant difference in my mph was wind direction. 112mph with zero wind vs 106 with a 15mph head wind.

Mines rwkw

you done?

[R31Nismoid]

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).

[Simon-S14]

Funny how status gets similar results, had done back to back testing and doesn't find the same losses you claim

[R31Nismoid]

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

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

[Piggaz]

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.

[R31Nismoid]

LOL

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

Now now kids, it's Friday let's all play nice.
