krawler - dont know mate u will have to ask them.

it was done at DYNO SOURCE a 4wd dyno and was just be re-calabrated a week before hand.

gavin sayed another one of his gtrs made 617hp on a engine dyno and on the dyno source dyno it made 387hp@awhp

and that car has the works done to it with a HUGE single turbo.

wouldnt mind seeing what it would make on another dyno, prob another 60hp all depends on the dyno and how it reads.

Looks like you had a bit of wheel spin - that's what usually causes the dips and rises.   It's the wheels gripping, then leting go, then gripping etc..

Nothing to be worried about.

Well it is something to be worried about actually, if this is what happened, then why didnt gavin tell melv and then dyno again. Surely wheel spin of any kind on the dyno would alter the final results significantly

What I meant was just because the dyno graph is up and down as it is, doesn't particularly mean there is something mechanically wrong with the car.

Only got to 3rd?? Err... Have you seen a dyno work before?

I'm sure there are many good reason as to why Gav did what he did. My car is going down on monday so I'll ask all your demanding questoins then.

Who cares what the graph looks like, it's an awesome power readout that I'm sure melv is happy with.

no erin i have never seen a dyno before fill me in

I think she's probably wondering the same thing I'm wondering... What do you mean "Only got to 3rd"?

Normally dyno runs are done in 4th gear. Thats because it is 1:1 (or at least, the closest to. I dont think all cars are actually 1:1) and gives you the most accurate estimate of HP cause you dont get the torque multiplication you get with lower gears.

So when you said "Only got to 3rd gear", it sounds like you are thinking that he revved out 1st, revved out 2nd, revved out 3rd and then gave up? I dunno, you're crazy as a coconut :headspin:

And the other thing I was wondering was why the curve has all the blips. Apparently due to RWD swapping to FWD as it lost traction (yay GTR!) but I was thinking if thats on an AWD dyno, that shouldnt happen... Unless the HP is only actually measured on the rear set of rollers and the fronts are just there so the front wheels dont just do some 200k/hour static burnout on the concrete? I dunno enough about dynos :rant: Anyway, if thats the explanation than I'm a bloody jenios (nb - you are still crazy as a coconut :headspin: ) :)

I would think that there was a calculation done to account for the fact that it was done in 3rd and not 4th. There was no doubt a good reason for this!

Mindflux, a cars power isnt determined by the top gear at top rpm! by the sounds of things thats what you thought...by saying it only got to 3rd....

Nice figure, but I do wonder about it being done in 3rd not 4th. Also i doubt those dips are wheel spin just friday i ran my cefiro up on the dyno and thats rwd and it didnt have any of those dips.. Nice figure though :)

suprised power delivery isnt that broad though seems pretty peaky, mite be due to the gearing though

Wheel spin is very possible on a dyno. It depends on the ramp rate used and the power of the car (not to mention the grip on the tyres).

If the ramp rate is slow, it may tend to spin a little. Happend when I had my car on the dyno, and then again with a R32 GTR when I was there.

I wouldn't say it is common, but it does happen.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
