Came across a fella on another forum today who reckoned he was making 300kw/400hp on 16 pounds with these :D Gave me the lol's

dont laugh, my mate is making 286kw @ 14.5psi with gt-ss

Hmmm interesting. But then and again I was making about 350hp with the ceramics at about 1 bar. I guess that with awesome turbos and an equally awesome tuner these crazy figures are possible.

Also, according to that chart flowing around the twin -9's are rated at about 560ps...but I'm pretty sure that's taken at the engine??? So if you were to account for drive train loses....you'd be getting back down to somewhere around the 480-500 mark. (don't know the conversion factor for ps to hp of the top of my head either....but i think they're fairly closer, a lot closer than hp to kw)

why only 14.5psi?

Very true that one!

Anyone know what the -9 / GTSS sweet spot is....ie, their zone of peak efficiency? I'm guessing it would lie somewhere around the 18 mark as mine go beserk there....

Did he tune it?

what gear is your new dyno run done in? I assume all tuneres use same gear, as max kw at 170kph dosent sound to practical, I pretty much wanna know power in 2nd or 3rd gear at 6k rpm....if thoes sort of graphs are even avalibe? I haven't looked to much into the dyno grqph side of things yet

You cant be serious

Different cars use a different gear on the dyno for a 1:1 drivetrain ratio

Dafaq?

6k rpm at wot and max boost will see the same power no matter what gear it's in

Like i said, I assume, as im not sure, you did not answer my question, let's just say anything over 110 is useless, your dyno shows about 150 kw at 110....like I said not surw how these things work/read

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
