Hello all

can you check out this video : http://youtu.be/AefKQ4Gk53k

and tell me does it seem rather slow considering it ran 246 kw on the dyno. I'm wondering if they made the figures look more atractive than what they really were. i was thinking 80-160 should be around the 7 second mark instead i'm seeing about 8 and 100-200 around the 12 second mark instead of 14! before i go and maybe try another dyno i thought i would see what you all reckon as i know there are plenty of you on here with similar mods and similar power.

Thanks for the replies, i didn't realise the video was going to pop up on the page (when you goto YouTube itself i have listed mods in the comments) turbo is GCG high flow with the usual supporting mods. Was dyno'd by a reputable workshop so i wouldn't expect them to mislead me but i don't really know

it looks alright, on what basis are you basing the whole thing on.. ie. 80-160 in 7 seconds ? is that what they were doing in Fast and the Furious ?? yours actually looks pretty good, especially with only 246kw's

ok i think i know where i was going wrong i was overestimating drivtrain loss then comparing to my boss's ISF, which with my miscalculation i was thinking should have similar acceleration. looks like i still wont be overtaking him down the straight next track day.......ahh nuts.

well i just wanted to get some opinions anyway from people who would know.......so thanks......

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
