DYNO RESULT: T517Zs on GTR

[JAGR33]

Hi Emre,

Its not that I want more power (not yet!!), I was just stating that how the JMS drag car can get 385 rwkws on 1.3 bar boost?!?!?!?

Emre, Actually a few of perths workshops pride themselves on being able to achieve big HP on PUMP fuel as show pony race fuel figures are useless to the average Joe off the street who is looking at a big HP package.

[Emre]

It's cool Jack, i know what you are getting at.

My point is, why see a power figure or a boost level and get fixated on it...? Without knowing any of the other variables, figures are just that : figures.

Don't forget, it is a business funded car promoting that business.

summoner,

Good on them all mate, but they are not the only ones that are doing it. There are workshops getting big hp on pump fuel across the country. Are you insinuating that, the Perth boys are a step ahead...? Cause that's the feeling i get from some of the posts, hence the reason i put that remark in ( ) in my previous post.

[summoner]

Emre, its a known fact WA is ahead..

Nah not at all I know other workshops are getting good results. But I can mostly comment on experiance and what I see here in WA. I'm all for more workshops getting big HP as it stirs competition and friendly(hopefully) rivalry

[JAGR33]

Emre, yeah I know what you mean, its just a figure at the end of the day!!!! I guess 1/4 mile times speak louder words than dyno figures.....

summoner- I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not but how is WA ahead of everybody else?? Is there any proof??? And you also say that you can comment from 'experience' and what you have seen.... At the age of 21???

[summoner]

Yes at 21. Does 1 need to be old to have experianced anything? Also yes I was being sarcastic hence the use of and

[JAGR33]

OK... It just seems like your portraying yourself to be someone who has been in the industry for many years and knows everything!!!! Not meant to harm in anyway....

dont most of the guys in wa use dynapac, we see dream figure coming out of the states also.

unless i see it in the flesh, i take dyno figures witha grain of salt.

the seat of the pants dyno works best

This what I got last month at 1.2 bar with 2540's, this figure is at all 4.

The best in the west certainly does not use dynapack and his dyno dynamics dyno is extremely accurate - if anyone can reduce a chart I will attach my latest chart (not the one below)

[summoner]

Jezzzr that you Jeremy with teh daily 33 and w/end 34?

As said, the best in WA use DD units which have been accredited by DD themselves. Only speedworks use the Dynapack and 1 other workshop I think. Majority of places are Dyno Dynamics.

I agree with the SOTP dyno, works best since end of day something like dynapack, Dyno Dynamics, Dynojet and all the others are just tuning tools.

GZ R33 & jezzrrr - great results there guys, I will get mine dynoed again soon, this time in shootout mode to compare with yours...

[summoner]

*challenges JAGR33 to a duel of dyno figures* hehe

question, how do the T517Z's compare cost wise with equivilant turbos?do they handle larger amounts of boost like HKS turbo's or more of a mild boost(1-1.5 bar) turbo?

[meshmesh]

Jack,

I'm taking my car into ICE either this Saturday or Early next week (just waiting for the boys to let me know), see if you can have your car there the same time. To add a bit of spice to the showdown, lets put a wager on it "Winner Shouts".. in that case I'll have a bottle Chivas Regal Royal Salute, an espresso & maybe some dessert if you don't mind thanks

yeah mate thats me.

On a serious note is anyone really claiming that one side of the continent has a mortgage on tuning ability ? I am certainly not buying into that sort of shit, at the end of the day its a science (and perhaps somewhat of an art) and the "formula" is available to all good tuners.

[JAGR33]

summoner - ready for battle!!!!! hehe

meshmesh - sounds sweet, let me know exactly when and I'll try and organise it... Do I hear a challenge?!?!? j/k

Well guys just got back from Calder tonight and if dyno figures aren't your cup of tea, well then heres the results form the 1/4 mile:

11.6 @119mph

Not a bad effort, was expecting mid to high 11's...

One thing I noticed was how hard it was to launch the bastard!!!! With the standard turbos I would normally launch it at 6.5 - 7k rpm, and it would more or less braek traction but tonight, it was bogging down hard off the line at about 7k rpm, and couldn't better a 12.3 all night, with 2.2 60ft times!!!!!

This became too frustrating so there was not much else to do than hit 8k rpm and side step the clutch!!!! and presto, an 11.9 followed by an 11.6 on the very last run...

Obviously being the 10cm version of the T517Z's, it wouldn't get boost off the line at around 7k rpm, causing it to bog down to 2k rpm, which resulted in 2.2-2.4 60ft times...

So therefore I might have to do something about the lag, not too keen on 8k launches, maybe adjust cam gears for low end power, or even change dump pipes, just to get the turbos boosting earlier....

nice time and mph there
