managed a wheel spinning 261rwkw with 2 people in the back 1 sitting in boot and 3 straps, 1 of which gave way and I now have as a souvanier(sp?)

couldnt get a final figure as it would break traction, dissapointed as i was hoping for a proper figure so will be going back with differant tyres on the rear(they think mite be the soft compound causing problems).

Thanks to the guys at mercury and SAU-QLD for the event.

couldn't make it.. but looked like a good day..

been spending too much lately on bits for my cars rather than actually doing anything with them... :P will have some interesting things to throw on the dyno in a couple of months :D

thats a shame they couldnt strap it down properly.... maybe they need a dyno refresher course....ha ha....

good power results thou..

good results guys....sorry i missed the day....

Was good fun! Im suprised how well mine did, considering I got the extra weight and all!

** disclaimer, I understand that weight has no effect on a power run, its my weak attempt at being funny...

Thanks to everyone who turned up and to the extras that did to fill the spots of the ones who didn't bother.

Some good consistant results from a few cars and some suprises from others.

I think the top figure on the day was Richard Hull with 312.8rwkw (don' t have my sheet with me at this point in time). Lowest of course being the cappucino with 37.7rwkw.

Thanks to everyone for hanging around and being so patient with the swapping and changing of the schedule of cars for the day. With people having to be gone by certain times and others having to drive back to towoomba, I'm sure it was frustrating, but thanks for sitting it out. :P

Also, thanks to Cameron, Trent and the boys at Mercury Motorsports for running the dyno (they didn't finish till 8pm!), putting on the free food for all who attended and going that extra mile with things that other dyno places wouldn't normally do.

All in all, it was a great day and thanks to everyone who made it :P

Thanks to Erin and Andrew for making the dyno day happen, and the lift back down to the coast too !!!

It was a good day/night. It had everything COPS/CRAZY PLANES IN THE SKY/RAIN/SUN/BIG POWER NUMBERS/LOW POWERNUMBERS/2 CARS UNABLE TO RUN ON THE DYNO

If anyone has any video of my car on the dyno can u please please PM me.

dunno about that they strapped down the 33 4 door fine and that made 311rwkw.. I'll be going on again thursday night hopefully and get a final figure, my goal is to beat that figure of 311rwkw set by said 33.. :P

I'll push more than 1 bar if need be hehe, will keep updated :P

I feel bad that i broke their strap :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
