Rev210...  lol  I almost forgot about that.. we got chewed out by that cop good and proper huh..  well we were doing just a tad over the limit.

I'm thinking the reading is a bit high, as a month or two earlier, same mods except 14 psi, i got 219 at Fuel Inj Services, in Belmont.    who knows..?

Yes, we did get an ear bashing. What was he talking about anyway?

219rwhp sounds about right for the car, you don't need much to go quick in the s13's and thats enough power to run 13s easy in your car.

Guys, its simple really. If you want feel good #'s so you think you have a big HP monster, go to Myaree Dyno, if you want the most accurate # you can really get go to Genie(because u can only turn a 3 ton concrete roller so fast). If you want good basis # that you can compare with pretty much rest of australia(which id a Dyno Dynamic dyno #) then go to PSi or Formaz... and both have a 4wd dyno. Or if you want something special go to Speedworks for the Dynapack dyno(but involves taking rims off and lotsa work etc)

SST Anyone ??

They looked after the Silvia WA guys.

I went to a dyno day at PSI and they boosted my car WITHOUT asking me. They boosted it no less with a t piece tube. Then to add insult to injury left the t-piece on my car WITHOUT telling me. I drove off and the car was overboosting. Pulled up and discovered the T-Piece.

Go to PSI if you guys want but it is at your own perril ........

SST dyno reads the same as PSI anyhow .... REAL FIGURES.

Oh and another thing, we almost died watchin the dyno runs at PSI. PSI has no extractor fan and the workshop filled with exhaust fumes. Cough Cough :(

The screen was excellent though. Were ever u go, orginise that !!

should be HAD no fan.

It was pretty bad though. Not only is it well ventilated now, but they have actually moved to diff location. And newer Dyno.. (as mentioned)

Summoner.. i actually went to Myaree cause it was the only one that i could book at an hours notice, was cheap (50 bucks for three runs).. and he printed the A/F ratio on the dyno sheet, so i could see that i wasn't leaning out too much in the top end.

I needed to know the a/f before i took it down to the Plex that night and thrashed the hell out of it.

but.... that said, to anyone who didn't know better, it does bring a smile to ya face.

righto

Rob u call and organise for a mid december weekend day at speedworks.

post a new thread in events when u have all your details and we'll start taking names.

if you say your in and forget to show without a valid reason poor form and it makes it alot harder for us to sort these things in the future as a poor turn out, after much hype from the guy organising it can get the tune shops off side.

also we can organise another in late janurary as that date sounds like it suited the other two shops anyway.

settled after rob has details posted i'm closing this thread.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
