We need a price of investment v mods v kw approach for assessment on this forum

I have paid lots of $$$$ to get faster

Other times I have paid bugger all and the car was just as good

Would be a awesome feature on this forum

If you are happy, it's a bargain.

yeah.. Yavus is the professor. His background is from a engineering / emissions development on massive diesel machinery.

He gave all that up, big $ job so he can focus on his hobby... Unigroup Engineering.

+1 for unigroup!

I have quite a few people I have a lot respect for the opinions of who rave about Yavuz, so this thread doesn't surprise me :) Very nice - good results, and good show giving credit... often feels like there are too many threads bitching about tuners and products so it's a refreshing post to read :)

Thats a damn solid result with 5's on a 2.6L Marko nice area under the curve! Looks like a blast to drive. Was at unigroup when your car was on the dyno and and they were just starting to add 98 to the mix... Very nice car mate :)

Thanks for the compliment Mick :)

The guys too were impressed with the results and exceeded their expectations, the head is stock! Literally just has some bolt on mods, very mild setup.

Brett - it does skids only with the handbrake haha, I'm sure u would be happy that I followed suit with Paul and replaced my GTRS's so now u can update your Sig :)

One of my mates has had his S15 tuned at unigroup, mild mods, only making 214rwkw, it feels more impressive than other much more "powerfull" cars. (tuned elsewhere)

Well actually, its awesome, chalks 3rd. Customer service is beyond good, will be getting my cefiro tuned there once I've got the highflow on.

lol no won't be needing to change my signature cause it's still true and the word needs to be spread to the people

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      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.
