Did lol.... at:

Hamish getting mad bro
Realising a 2.2L is bigger than a 2.0L and there's near 3 times to power output from the little baby evo compared to the 5S-FE
The commodore because it looks like a decent burnout car and not a street skidder's first time at an event...

Yeah, I've been on many a different Dyno...

Not wanting to get involved in this jerk fest... but yes... one did read quite a bit higher than the rest. But at the same time, different tuners work with very different styles of tuning...

But... car was pinging on trents dyno and I NEEDED it for a DECA on the weekend so we pulled it way back for a "safe tune" of 230rwkw... a few weeks later (no mod changes) it pulled 212rwkw on RTR (Simple retune and it was back up to a safe 242 (which I'm estimating 260 on trents)

The only real reason I don't go back to Trents is because its too hard to get a hold of them and get a tune within a week of when you need it. Too hard to plan mod installations etc if you're not even sure if you'll be able to book in some dyno time before a track day.

Spied a black 32 gtst on Center Dandenong Road with SAU Stickers this morning near Moorabin Airport as I was getting coffee on my way to work, Pat?

Surely its the only one left...

Haha unfortunately not. Just dropped off car at traction tyres for some much needed lows.

In before Xmas defect.

There is a tuner in SA that uses a hub dyno and massively over inflates his figures which has been the source of much controversy over the years, however this is due to the tuner and the correction method he chooses to run.

Leigh and Birds just run with it in VWL purely as a jimmy rustling exercise.

Oh I love rustling jimmies left right and centre, but I legitimately believe there's a significant difference between Trent's power figures and roller dynos. Have seen too many of his customer cars produce different results elsewhere at several different places, and no one in the country seems to be able to replicate mr HG's turbo results, except those who get their cars tuned at Trent's. It doesn't say anything about the tuner, unless they are in denial of the power reading difference.

The only reason I get rustled over the differential is because people masturbate to a 350kw run, talking about how responsive it is for so much power, when the thing would make 300 everywhere else. That and these people whinge when they go to other dyno days and are down 50kw, saying it's a shit dyno that must read low cause they lost all their power. Case in point: our SAU dyno day at RE customs 4 years ago.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
