  1. Its only a conservative little 13psi tune through the stock exhaust on 98 pump. Just a nice 'area under the curve thing'. Sled has the dyno graph
  2. The two cars have nothing in common, as I am sure you have worked out by now. Last issue Wheels or whatever it was had one of these 400rwkw blown HSV 0-400m: 13 seconds (around standard HSV times) and GTR 0-400m in 11.2 or something. They would feel - very - different. The GTR would feel like a missile in comparison. Those supercharged HSVs are normally very slow and noisy to drive.
  3. You do the right thing LSX-438, pack all that firepower under the 'hood' Imagine if one of their little kids or a neighbours kid or something got in a GTR with a loaded pistol floating around in it. Something we cant really comprehend over here...thank god

    You want to update our contact details on the workshop listing?

  5. Doing some interesting things to this car at the moment, converting it to full 'Speed Density' operation and removing the restrictive airflow meters amongst other efforts
  6. From Time Attack Round 3 on the weekend -
  7. I have always enjoyed centre exit exhausts on track cars, so here is something we tried on our Willall Racing development GTR This picture makes it a bit hard to see - This picture doesnt - Lots of room for coolers in the back now
  8. You planning on expanding the family even further Munro!
  9. We 'fixed' the exhaust on this car over the past couple of days, its a proper centre exit system now, completely unmuffled, and quite the flame thrower!
  10. I dont think boot access is a real problem with that one. This is the correct way to mount a rear wing, and the same way its done on our factory Porsche built GT Series car. You could stand on it, which is how it has to be Mark, did you receive your WR35OP Extended Oil Pan yet?
  11. Willall have four GTRs out there racing in the Time Attack 3 on Monday for those that want to watch Willall R35 GTR WR600 - Keir Wilson Willall R35 GTR WR450 - 'Carbon King' Sebastian Lip Willall RH9 R32 GTR - Kurt Wilson FBRE/Willall R32 GTR - Our very own Blue32 Quite a lineup, thats over 2000awkw between the four of them or an average per car of over 500awkw..... Note: No Disney Dynos involved
  12. RH9 only appears on the dyno at SAU days
  13. Thats fine, strapping a car correctly - especially a turbo car - can be difficult. I was just surprised he asked, like we had never seen a big power XR6T before. Well we have
  14. Dingo? WTF? Hey was it your mate that came up to Gareth and wanted to know if we had enough straps to hold down his XR6....and it made 245rwkw? That was odd to say the least
  15. Shootout mode is the only DD mode that corrects for drivetrain inertia (makes the numbers higher) and was done to keep the readings consistent for dyno competitions for Horsepower Heroes at Summernats etc. - or thats what DD told me back in the day when we had one. You can easily run the DD dyno outside of Shootout mode where it doesnt have drivetrain inertia correction as well. Hope that helps
  16. Here you go Sled -
  17. There is no dyno debate, there are actually very simple explanations for the power difference. When run in Shootout Mode (6F is recommened for the Falcon) the Dyno Dynamics - ADDS - power to the rear wheel reading to compensate for what it considers to be acceptable driveline loss. In othere words there is a bit of software in the dyno program that says 'Ok this is a forced induction six cylinder so it must have a gearbox that takes this much energy to turn, wheels this big, and a driveline that weighs this much....so lets multiply the rear wheel power by a correction factory as we put it on the screen' to give a nice figure Mainline actually shows you the power - and torque - you ARE HITTING THE ROAD WITH The rear wheel kilowatt figure is what you have accelerating you down the strip The rear wheel torque figure (which is multiplied by the gear/diff ratio) is also what is accelerating you down the strip, hence you accelerate faster in third gear than fourth gear (more torque multiplication) There is no manipulation of the figures to present them in a more readable or acceptable format. Raw data is the Mainlines strength All the dynos that you state read close to each other are all applying the some artificial power reading correction to the figures, hence the warm fuzzy feel good factor for the laminate racers and the equally head scratching track times. Hope that makes sense
  18. There is a lot of confusion regarding torque readings on dynos. The chassis dyno shows - Engine Torque At The Wheels. In other words engine torque MULTIPLIED by the gear ratio used, diff ratio, and tyre size. We can take that into account and correct it by using the Mainlines Derived Torque function which requires we take an engine speed reading during the run. This is something we normally do not do at dyno days as it takes a little longer to implement and 'hook up'.
  19. Lets see some SAU members getting stuck in here Its hard work for Blue32, Seb, and I to continually flog all of the Evo drivers
  20. Really looking forward to this SLED. There are a lot of new techniques in the tuning of these cars that arent being implemented in South Australia currently. I know this as none of the SA Tuners attend the Australia wide advanced Ford tuning workshops....and I am the headmaster Your tune will have 'all the fruit'
  21. Cool its ready to pick up, who do I make the bill out to?
  22. Seb is pretty Fly For a GTR Guy
  23. Not mine, but its one of the Willall family
  24. Off with the Tarmac Rally hat, and back into the Circuit suit Carbon King is ready to go again at Time Attack Round 3 in two weeks time Its no dyno queen
