The 1070 hp figure was done during tuning by Sub Zero and is real but the Autosalon dyno only went up to 200kph  :chairshot

Plus the fact that the gearbox blew up didnt leave much room for improvement.

That's all the dyno graph posted goes to... I fail to see your point... :confused:

630Kw != 1070HP

P.S. Nothing wrong with nitrous IMHO... :)

I should have been more clear sorry

The hp read of 1070 was made at Sub Zero on their dyno.

Not at the Autosaslon dyno.

If he had of scored 1070 on Saturday they would have smashed the record.

The dyno at autosalon only read up until 200kph.

thats why the cars with power glides got really bad hp scores.

Nothing wrong with nos just pointing out the fact that Sub Zero will Put nos on anything.

At that sort of power what could possibly be put on the car for 1500 more dollars?

Not easy power just more :rofl:

No one said with a $1500 budget there is anything else that would add “more power”. The point was, people are using the nitrous kits as easy power.

Each to their own I spose.

nos is good but i think for dyno roller comps they should just use the engine power produced and have a totally different section for the nos cars. then it would be easier to judge the cars on there actually horse power not just bolt on a nos bottle for extra kw/hp

I disagree as adding nitrous is EXACTLY the same as bolting on a bigger turbo.

When someone bolts on a bigger turbo, do you stand there and say "yeah but lets see what the engine produces with a turbo half it's size or let's take the turbo off completely and just see what the engine does without any boost". I would think not. Using nitrous is effectively only adding more oxygen to the process and there is a fine art to setting it up correctly. If someone wants to run nitrous, fine....they will pay the price for cheap horsepower if they have not set both it and the engine up properly. It takes skill and a very tough engine to run it safely at high levels as nitrous has nearly 2.5 times the air content of normal air which increases the risk of detonation and engine failure. Just think of it as adding another turbo for 10 seconds.

couldnt have said it better myself

good point. but u cant run nos on the street but u can run a bigger turbo. i wasnt uping any1, i just reckon they should have 2 different areas in the roller comps. maybe im wrong but it would give a more true indication of what people are goin to see in a car driving on the street or at the strip. just my 2c.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
