Andrew from AM Performance ran his car on the same dyno at Jason, and made 308rwkw, then went down the road to the Willall mainline and made 249rwkw. just to give you an idea of the difference

at the end of the day its for tuning, not for bragging

tis annoying how some dynapack owners dont calibrate it properly though.

trent runs the same dyno and has his reading within a few kw of a dd for when he does printouts.

makes a lot more sense for comparisons

How is reading DD like dynos "properly" calibrated?

What he means is that most dynapack dynos read significantly higher than a DD dyno in the norm and trents one pretty much is spot on with other DD ones which arent happy so it makes for a better comparison with other peoples results.

There are 4 calibrations for different regions (like usa which use old std) and test procedures:

SAE

DIN

and two others i cant think off.. lol (as i never change it)

some of the operators in sa seem to always run theirs in the old standard which inflates power... have bought this up a few times with them as they give the dyno a bad name even though its actually far more accurate.... hell i could have got a 4wd roller for the price of my new 2wd dynapack...

on top of every dyno sheet from dynapack is the correction type used, if it isnt in SAE J1349 (2004) ask it to be changed. Also like any dyno make sure the Air intake temp probe is set to ambient and is reading real ambient temperature

Almost a direct overlay of my T67 set up on the same type on dyno with the same correction... Actually uncanny!

Which begs the question, how much boost?

Yellow run was 17.10psi

Green run was 18.36psi

Is there SAE J1349 a separate setting to SAE? I always have used SAE... and "inflates power" is surely a relative term, regardless. So long as all details are considered it is what it is, I'd call it more "inflated" where people reduce smoothing in the hope spikes will boost the #s.

Unopened rb25

Gt3076. 82 IW

Caltex eflex

310rwkw 16psi

320rwkw 18psi

Leak in cooler piping/plenum that needs to be fixed then its back for a tune as it wont hold more than 16 psi and sounds like I got a midget under the bonnet blowing a trumpet lol

Damn that lil midget bastard gets around! he was under my bonnet too lol

and the funny thing? both are mainlines.

use this formula:

mods: PowerFC, GT3037 Garret, 0.6 cpm Cover, 0.63 rear housing, 18psi, Nismo 555s, 3inch turbo back exhaust, 600x300x75mm intercooler, Split Fires, NGK BKR7E plugs, Water Methanol injection, 275ml min nozzle.

fuel: Shell 98

power: 320rwkw, 720nm Torque @ 3200rpm

oil: Shell Helix 5w40 fully synthetic

useage: Every day

lifespan: Lasted 4 years, until I decided to upgrade to RB2530. Engine was still 100% compression wise when sold. 165psi accross all 6 cylinders.

failure: none

comments: Was an awesome car to drive. I did all the tuning myself.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
