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).

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
