Accuracy is not an issue in this case anyway, DJ are really really consistant. How generous (or not) the dyno is the only point worth baring in mind here imho. In anyone's language this car is making a LOT of power, I'd be picking this car would still be making over 500rwkw on a DD dyno. I'm a bit iffy about the spool in this case, though - I'd have hoped to see better on a 2.8.

My phrasing was iffy there, i meant how generous or not the turbo is, not consistancy, as that had been established to be a non issue amoungst the dyno brand in quesiton

We just had a factory 2012 Camaro on a few weeks ago made the power GM said it should make 1 hp off.

As for the we part what dynos do you make?? You work for the company or what?

I wouldn'thave a Mustang dyno to many people saying they're wrong in the states nobody likes to hear Mustang numbers high low whatever. I just tune with it sorry if it's not the one you like. :no:

I believe he took your statement as you saying ' if it ain't our dyno then it isn't worth having one'

Did GM say the camaro make 'xxx'Whp or 'xxx' hp? Because factory statement is usually engine hp. Which is greater than WHP. Guilt toy was pointing out to the rest of us that this rwhp figure given is inflated in comparison to rwhp that we usually see.

I have used all of these dyno's, Dynojet, Mustang, Mainline, Dyno Dynamics and to be honest I don't care about how consistant a dyno is, I rate the dyno's on how they are when you are tuning with them.

Does your dynojet that you are using even have eddy current? usually no.

I do stick with my statement that the Dynojet is junk compared to the other dyno's (just look at the price of them compared to the others to start with!!!) , the Aussie dyno's are known to be the best in the world but after using the American Mustang dyno I would have to rate them as being the easiest and quickest to get the job done well and fast, some of the massive trucks we have had on it - sooo stable, I used to fly a Dynodynamics flag but after using the mustang ive been converted, they are the best tuning tool.

I was simply stating that the power figures are different, yankie power and aussie power is different, just go look on the american forums and look at the WHP figures they claim then see the MPH they are rolling out at the track, what are they doing ? towing 1500lbs of concrete on the back of the car when racing? when a car with the same power on the dyno's we use to gauge and claim the same horse power are rolling out 10mph + more down the track.

At the end of the day the best dyno is the big black dyno, the race track! Take this skyline down the track and then compare the MPH to our cars and you will find it will be comparable to 550 - 600rwhp cars on this forum.

Thats all I was trying to point out, should have kept my mouth shut it seems there are people on here with a happy trigger waiting to fire whenever I open my mouth.

Must of missed something turned all world war in here. At the end of tge day the number is good but the car would feel not fun to drive I think but each to there own

Not fun? Do you wear beige knitted jumpers every day?

i have to agree. We had a tuner come over from the states to tune a few local euro cars and was used to dyno jets and could not match the power on my dyno he was averaging 10-15% less across all the cars.

Are you talking about rwkw against rwhp readings or hp to hp?? Different readings we all know that but you are saying that along with Mustang the down under dynos read lower. I'm good with that as I didn't buy a Mustang dyno because they are the minority by a long ways here.

I'll look around for one of your dynos if I find one close I'll run over and see how far apart they are just to end the " I think this or that " about power numbers for everyone.

He means your rwhp figure is closer to an engine hp figure... Therefore your rwhp figure is actually ~100hp higher reading than what other dynos would suggest... Making what youre producing closer to 633rwhp

You shouldnt have to go on another dyno if you answer if GM gave you the camaro's whp or engine hp. Because if they gave you an engine power figure (what factories usually Tdo) then you're figure would be spot on with what is being said.

And as this is skylinesAustralia, he was just giving everyone a heads up that it's not as high as what most of us thought it was.

jangles: someone on the same page :3some:

listen Anthony, its good that a american workshop can get some good results from a RB engine, its not easy to do and thumbs up to you for your good results, even if its 600whp if the engine is staying in one piece well done !

no need to take it to another dyno, I do not need to be proven wrong, the race track will show you who is boss :)

good luck with it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
