First up Unique Autosports is cool. :P

Took the car to them today to do a dyno run, and encountered some problems (weird curve) and not much power gain. Anyway, out came the console (sp?) and timing gun, which revealed that the base timing was retarded,...so they advanced it. The car was then run up again, and there was a significant increase in the power throughout the rev range. Whoo! Cheers UAS!!

The last time the car was run on the UAS dyno it managed 166.9rwkw @10psi. Today it made 184.2rwkw @ 11psi with the new hybrid FMIC. (The red lines are from the last run, blue's new.)

I can definently feel it in the seat of the pants dyno too! Put it this way, I just got home 30mins ago from a quick drive and I'm still smiling.

There's some weird stuff going on high in the rev range still. A power FC will fix all that up, and should net me...ummm...lets hope for 200+rwkw. :)

(dyno sheets attached AFR, and PSI)

Wilch - well done mate :P

Nice results.

UAS have a really great team and facilities :)

I was gonna come down to UAS today, but had to get a new turbo water hose

Once again - good effort and well done to UAS.

Go Adam and Ben :)

There's no torque line there at all dude.

The first graph shows AFR's, the second graph shows PSI. Have a look again.

The blue lines are the new ones (w/ intercooler), the red lines are the old ones (from the run without the intercooler).

Wil - have you got SAFC or anything ? Or are you just using standard ECU ??

 

PFC will make a big difference :P

Heya B-man,

Nup no SAFC. Just the stock ECU, full exhaust (except w/ stock cat), pod in cold air box w/ cold air feed, and the profec b2.

I will eventually get a PFC. I just need to wait for next months pay packet. So within 2 months and I'll be cheering even more so :)

I had my car dyno at unigroup. I got pretty much the same results as yours but i got a bigger dip at top.

Had Hybrid front mount running 12psi with avcr, exhaust and pod filter

Dam thats a huge Dip, u gotta feel that lol

1 thing i dont understand why my line is a curve when i dont even have a boost controller, just running a cheap Bleed Valve. Would expect the boost controller to atleast not have any Dips in it.

The dips in my power line are due to the stock ECU going, "Hmmm, there's a lot more air than normal, oh s#!t, time to retard the timing...wait...things are ok, advance the timing...oh s#!t, retard again....etc etc etc"

I'm guessing you're either running an after market computer, or piggy backs. You'd never make 249rwkw with the stock computer, nor would the power line be a nice curve. I'm assuming your turbo is high flowed too, or you have some schmick bigger turbo in there.

hehehe...cause if you don't, i wanna run my car on the dyno you ran yours on! LOL :P

wil..

Hard to tell....... Do a dyno run where they chart your psi.

I know of another that runs a bleed valve, and the boost runs up smoothly, then falls off significantly higher in the rev range (ie. doesn't peak, and hold... the ebc's tend to peak and hold if set properly, or like mine, spike right at the start then hold. LOL).

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
