Congrats to Dave for your blistering 617rwkw run... which he followed up the next day with a 593awkw run.

He took out the Tough as nails, outright power and AWD dyno trophies at Melbourne Autosalon this year.

The dyno runs were pretty consistent, with most cars getting around what they've recorded on other dyno's.

Also of special note, the Osman's $300,000 yellow bathtub recorded a mind boggling 102awkw.

Now all we need is a scan of Leewah's Dyno sheet printout.

More details and discussion in the VIC section.

617 at rears (hence rwkw) and 593 at all fours (hence awkw), think they removed the driveshaft on the front or something to cut off power to the front wheels.

He also has a torque splitter which could have helped.

Thanks for your comments peoples. It was a long road to getting stupid numbers out of the car without it blowing itself to kingdom come.

I haven't scanned the dyno sheet yet but will when I get some time quiet time at home. Should have it up soon.

We'll go racing soon, prob early May once we make sure the car and engine can sustain these power levels for a few runs.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
