I'm not sure whether there breed you dumber over there or not, so I'll repeat myself slowly so you may understand.

The probe is inside the engine-bay, in-front of the airpod, with the bonnet down. After 7 or so power-runs the air gets pretty damn warm in there, the fan is directed at the intercooler.

Oh that's pretty dumb (your word, not mine), we have a 2 fans in the dyno room that cover intercooler/radiator, oil cooler and engine air inlet.

The reason I asked is because ....... well if you know how Shoot Out mode works, you already know why I asked.

Time sydneykid built a car that shows his tru skills.

How many do you want? I have no interest in dyno queens and 1/4 mile is boaring. You know Circuit Racing is what we do and engines are a very small part of that package. My cars have won races all over Australia. Two of them hold the current class lap records, one at Sandown and one at Oran Park. Another has the category lap record at Wakefield Park. We had the category and class lap record at Eastern Creek until last meeting, but we will get it back. Won Bathurst outright twice, won classes 3 times, finished top ten on 8 occasions. I think we still have the Improved Production car record at Surfers Paradise and the Sports Car lap record at Lakeside. Sandown, let's see, 2 outright wins, 3 classes .................

Shooooot, how many more times do you want me to show my true skills? :D

I would strongly doubt no matter where we located another fan that it would stuff all difference to the intake temps from the engine bay. And no, the intake temp would make very little difference to the overall power reading, and this is from DD themselves, feel free to ask them. :D

thats very impressive SK !

from what i know at = atmo temp, it = inlet temp, and that these are used to compensate for diff temps to give 'equal' readings in various environments, am i right ? but what are the true workings behind it, you seem to indicate you know

One temps room temp ones air intake temp and as ppl dont drive with their bonnet open it tends to get hot under there..

You mean you don't have a decent ambient air feed? Surely not.

All you own work eh sydneykid? What is yor real name as you must be famous.

Nah drivers are famous, team members are anonymous (even the team manager). :D

Bullshit.

Funny thing is, that we're calling the same things about your dyno figures... Works both ways doesn't it? :Oops:

Again, in case you missed it in the other thread, lets check the attitudes at the door.

Quote...it seems like either HPI have quoted the wrong tyres or he did use them

Seems like they quoted the wrong track too He ran that time at the Jamboree in March this year at the Sydney track. Mick and I were there but we didn't race.

I guess we need a word from Theo.

Strip, meh. For the occasional bilp down the qtr i dont think there should be too much concern about increasing the rev limit.

If you do sustained big revs/high speed then id be a little less confident to wind in more revs. Punt a car around a track constantly ringing the cars neck over 6,000rpm isnt good for it. Ie change up gears at 8,000rpm. Most of us drive road cars, not race cars on a qualifying lap.

This thread is funny, there seems to be a few ppl getting a little defensive / aggressive :argue:

Big numbers and quick times mean nothing to me. Tell me how many engines therse cars have destroyed, how much coin has been swallowed to get things right...then im impressed if its all been done right the first time. Everyone throws around numbers and times, but no one shares the hand grenade stories :boohoo:

Gary stewarts RB25 totally stock but with 2x 2530s has raced full time at wanneroo raceway for years at 7500rpm and 400rwhp with no engine problems.

Wanneroo... i have only seen it on TV. It looks liek the straight is pretty quick but he rest of its is dancing on throttle stuff?!?!?!?

My new found concern after having driven around Phillip Island ( i suspect Sandown will be the same) is the time an engine spends well over 6,000rpm. Hit high 7gs change gear and the thing is still reving its little heart out at over 6,000rpm. Sydney tracks are nothing liek this, and much friendlier to engine, as i suspect Wanneroo is

I wouldn't say E.C. is a slow track, but with any track I think that it's up to the driver where to keep the revs - Oran Park could be a continuous 6-8k rpm affair.

LOL, come on down and bring your helmet. Your right about revs, i was short changing trying to keep the thing in one piece, but Eastern Creek only has one quick turn and isnt all that fast compared to PI. It has 4 really quick turn like Eastern Turn 1. Only two are quicker :P

I could have been way quicker if i had rung the cars neck, (doesnt the TD06 liven up the top end) but its more then just the rev range. Oran park is like blip , blip , blip on /off throttle, to a certain extent so is Eastern and of coruse Wakefield. At PI you have much longer intervals of sustained load and revs before you back off.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
