Whilst not directly on topic - post 17 of the following link shows the different hp figures obtained using different shootout modes with the same car on the same day ( I knew turbo 4 cylinders were handicapped in shoot 4F :P ).

Notably, the second last dyno shows the effect on hp when the temp probe is placed near a heat source.

1/4 mile/ MPH for finding out how much usable power you have, as stated before dyno for tuning.

Is that still a reliable indication of power, even if my slug auto won't get off the line due to the stock stally stator?

Good friend of mine stopped posting outright power figures on his wall in his cell due to people not liking them reading lower than other shops, and I mean considerably lower, but like the big sign above his dyno reads, dynos lie, tracks don't . I'm yet to see a car that didn't run the mph on the strip that the dyno power figure suggested.

Power delivery. What you lost in peak power you may have gained everywhere else

Could be that. I don't have a dyno graph of the supposed 330wkw run on 98, but I do have a dyno graph of a 320wkw run on E85 (not the 260kw 98 run).
So less power on E85 than it supposedly had on 98, but its surely going to be faster.
I think there must have been some tweaking done of the ramp rate to achieve the 330wkw figure for 98.
This is the dyno graph of the E85 run, does it looks fast? It sure feels fast!

Feels faster or is faster?

Fair point, I've never been to the track so don't have any rock hard evidence.

Lets just say it definitely doesn't feel like it has had 70kw ripped from it!

Dynos are tuning tools. The absolute power and torque measurements are irrelevant unless being used for a comparison to a change being done to compare to a previous measurement on the same dyno but even then changes in the driveline can make it hard to compare.It is used solely for tuning to assess and optimize engine parameters by a skilled operator.

Example is my clubby that with a flash tune and diff gears measured 270rwkw and did 107mph.I installed cams with head work, hi stall and retune and measured 274rwkw and ran 112mph. Based on mph should be about 40rwkw difference. And based on mph it should be about the 285rwkw mark give or take. Moral of the story the tuner used the dyno to optimise the setup and mph told me how much power it really had. Hope this helps.

You can strap a car down to tight and lose power as well :(

Unfortunately there are many things that will effect dyno reads including tyre pressure

As others have said a dyno is just a tool used for tuning and a vague indication of power, that said a dyno isn't going to shop 100hp on a 1000hp car and vise versa, if you think the operator is fudging figures for what ever reason and not just a low reading dyno, I would be going else where

Mph is the best indication of power v weight and ET is an idication of setup

I always take my car to the 1/4 mile track after I do something to it ( power wise ) to see real life gains for both MPH and ET

An example for MPH, I not long ago had my 34 tuned and right after that I went to the strip, knowing it would run a 10 I rolled off the line and shifted to second then nailed it for the first 4 runs to get an idea of mph and ran consistent 131-132mph ranging from 11.6-12.5 et, last pass full noise from start 10.8@132mph so the start doesn't make much if any difference on mph unless your still turning tyres half track :P

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
