had a good day good to see my car is still consistant of last time it was dynoed

only thing when i went out to my car to go home i realised we did the dyno runs on 14psi instead of 16, so i would of made more kw's oh well next time i guess

good to have chat with every one cheers to paul and dark for the photos you cant see the dints in the light makes my car look great

and as ash would say internally gated screamers sound shit :(

i personally would have one external is a different story

cheers

Good effort by everyone involved in this day.

Haven't been to many SAU-Vic events at all so it was good to meet a few new ppl...

quite happy with my 172.7rwkw - considering i've only got pod, zorst and a bit more boost :( Definately gotta get me an ecu...

Hi All,

A great turnout for the day, plently of cars and some new faces too. We had cars on the dyno all day from 10:30am through to 4pm so certainly no shortage of cars. Plently of nice food and some good drinks. For those that missed out it was a good chance to run your car and check out how it compares to others and to also ask some of the finer tuners in melbourne for advice and suggestions.

All in all a great day and a fine SAU bbq. Thanks to all of those for their efforts in this event. Pics @ http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/pics/dyno-...029/page_01.htm

Thanks guys

dark had a video recorder and inark did, not sure if footage will go up. will try and sus it out

Hey Paul, If i remember correctly you had the same power - 181rwkw as on the dyno-mite dyno? Shows that the 2 dynos are pretty consistent - a good thing for comparability :D

nah i made 193 on the dynomite dyno and 181 on the ice performance one, the ramp rate on each was different so this would certainly affect it and probably why i made more on the dynomite one. we didnt have any gtr's run and dave didnt run his car

hmm, how much boost were you running on the ice dyno? Cause i remember you put up a graph with 13psi and 180rwkw from the dynomite one?

same boost, havent changed my boost for like a year now

my first run on dynomite was 180rwkw then 193rwkw some time after

same boost again, just different tune and ex cam gear install (even tho it didnt add any power)

the dynomite is in shootout mode as to is the ice performance dyno.

but they can be easily turned on and off. when it in shootout mode all the parameters are locked and you cant change anything. ramp rate well means exactly that, the amount of "ramp". i believe its how much load is placed on the rear rollers to give the car something to apply its torque to, not entirely sure. but i believe the more or less ramp rate affects the output figure

yes if its run in shootout mode it prints it at the bottom. it will clearly say "shootout mode" and will print the shootout mode settings such as ramp rate, intake temp, ambient air temp etc

Hey all, I made 128.3rwkW in my r32 gtst. I was really happy with that, only mods are catback and pod filter.

Thanks to Nige and Gerald and Ash and whoever else was involved in the organisation of the day - i had a great time and it all went really smoothly.

It was a shame i rooted the calibration of my DFA so couldnt get it tuned on the day. I fixed it when i got home, it was calibrated so the output voltage was constantly a fair bit lower than it should have been, resulting in the car running lean all the way through the rev range by about 1AFR. Ill post the dyno graph at some stage, its quite remarkable how similar the AFR traces are, only shifted upwards.

Thanks to nige again for spending extra time on me and my car on the day, much apprieciated.

And to all those people who say screamer pipes on stock internal gate turbos sound shit, I thought Matts car sounded awesome!

It was pretty funny when the cops rocked up, noise complaints in an industrial estate on a saturday? I think they must have just smelled the wang burgers!

Rhett

cops came cos they thought people were drag racing

its just cos it sounds loud as all hell and the local neighbours would have rang. no biggie, they just came in for a ciggie and a chat, even said cool at the r33 on the dyno at the time

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
