Those that saw my earlier post (Exhausts: noise ='s power) may remember my fuel pump/pressure and leaning out dramas from last weekends dyno session?

Well it turns out I had neither an 044 or 984 Bosch pump! It was the little baby of the Bosch range... the 910. It put up a good effort considering the demand that's been placed on it! I found the box that my pump "supposedly" came out of. It had 984 on it.

The 910 will go to a new home (Shaun's RX7 turbo circuit car - coming soon!) and I now have an 044. I watched it go in, so this time I'm 100% sure I have an 044 :)

After a bit of fuel pressure adjustment, some tuning to suit the new pump and f/pressure, and it was time to see what power it could muster? Shaun richened up the mixtures across the rev range (to keep it nice and safe). Peak torque A/FR is low/mid 11's and top end is 11.8.

Even with the richer mixtures we still made a number of high 290rwkw runs, with a best of 299.1rwkw (401rwhp) It made 298-299 back to back :) I was happy with that so we didn't bother with the magical 300. It was worth stopping short of 300 just to see many people are going to go, "ahhh c'mon just a bit more boost and you would've had it" :( LOL Shaun, Wayne, Craig (MAD DAT Motorsport) and myself crowded around the dyno screen and all went OHHHHH! when it flashed up 299.1. If it had've been 299.9 then I would've been pissed :)

Boost was at ~1.5bar (~22psi)

Thanks Jay :)

Yeah we've been around a while us old timers :) Back in the days when a 200rwkw GTS25t was a big achievement! I won my first ever dyno comp at CAS (now CRD) with a 200+rwkw run. That was ~1999-2000 I think?

These days my power figure isn't much to brag about at all. Look at all these big power monsters on our forums! There's about 6-7 300+rwkw GTS25t at least. Then you've got Adrian (2rismo), Brett (Buster), Chris (Doughboy), GOTBOOST and more that are into the low 12's and 11's!

I'm hoping to run the car at AIR on Sunday (6th) With the Nittos, me getting my shit together, no breakages (PLEASE! - touch wood, metal, plastic and anything else I can get my hands on!!!) I'd love to see a very low 12, high 11 and 120+mph.

Congrats Matt! Look forward to watching ur beast down the track! Ill have my camera there, so put on a good show! ;)

Thanks Mark ;) I'll give it my best shot mate. As long as I drive it home in one piece I'll be happy.

Thanks all :)

Brendan, we thought about dropping the exhaust. I wanted to see how much difference it'd make? But we ran out of time.

Matty - 'Slammed Mobile Guard Rolling' Jeff Hughes 0401 400 005 He is only too happy to travel to wherever you want. As long as he has access to 240V ( to power his heat gun) you can get it done while you're at work. Just make sure your wheel nuts are tight when he's finished :) It shouldn't cost you more than $110 for the rear.

I'm keen to head out there at gates open time if you are Matt? 9am or 10am... it's all good to me.

Bl4ck32,

With your new combo you'll do more than just pass me! How long till we get to see the full power of your beast unleashed?

Thanks Mel :) You could always bring your Nan? I'll could give her a special 'birthday' ride in the car :D

Thats very nice to gain power aswell as richening up the mixtures for saftey! Did Shaun add any timing anywhere on the map?

I'm 99% sure no additional timing was added.

The peak power is mostly unchanged from the other day (~2rwkw). Cooler inlet temps may well have gained the extra rwkw. To be totally honest such a small amount is just as likely to come from tyre to roller diferences, or 0.5psi boost increase. It may have been 22.5 to 22.9psi whereas the other day is was 22.0psi? It all adds up.

The A/FR at peak power has not changed much at all (~0.2) It's peak torque and especially the top end A/FRs that are much safer (11.8 as opposed to 13.0!!!)

The real test will be on the drag strip.

Very nice. It's funny how long these things can take, but you've has a lot of ups and downs with your car for so long. With the same fundamental mechanical package it's gone from 180 to ~300. It's good to have that development and optimisation over time.

BTW....GO THE GARRETT/MICROTECH LEGENDS VS THE TWO LOCAL HKS/POWER FC SLY AND DIRTY ENEMY! The war continues :rofl:

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
