It is _exactly_ what my graph looked like when i was spinning the wheels. Doesn't necessarily mean massive power (well maybe for Melv but not for me) just poor alignment or strapping. The dyno calculates your power depending on your torque but Millenium Motorsport was explaining that all the new software can recognise the different gear and modify the output to be closer to 1:1.

We asked all the hard questions today at Gavin's....

3rd gear was because 4th puts too much load for too long on the engine. During a power run its probably fine to do, but when tuning you want to hold specific revs for a bit and its too much load to stay on in 4th. *gasp* At least, thats my dumbed-down understanding of what Gavin actually said, which had lots of complex words in them (most of them were more than 1 syllable so buggered if I could understand them) and scientific words like "torque" and "kilowatt" and Stuff :bonk:

Uhm and the blips are indeed caused by power transfering cause the Thing that measures g forces and Stuff and decides when to put drive to the front wheels gets all confused :headspin: cause the car is actually sitting still. Again, this is a dumbed down version for I am but a lowly fridgie and he is the almighty Running Bear Who Works On Skylines With Sitting Bull ;)

So yeah, I'll bet THAT clears it all up.... :looney:

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.

Why dont you bring it to the dyno shoot-out at all star tuning on Saturday!!!!

I wouldn't trust her Melv.....

Me on the other hand? ........well lets just say they don't call me honest Chris for nothing and not only that, I will come and pick the car up for you, so you don't have to bring the keys to me like you do with Erin :(

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
