I'm sure Abo bob will post the results for all catagories,

but Boosted Zed squeezed out 427 rwkw from his VG30DETT,

go the cardigan wearing, tea sippers . :/

Sorry Mona, got there after 1.00, had to work.

You had a little scare, 500+ ?

See you @ WSID

Just had a look at Stan's dyno graph - from the SATANIC. Very surprising to see that UAS backed off the run before it even ended... meant that peak power wasn't even reached??? The dyno graph just went vertically downwards at the end, power curve hadn't even started to dip yet.

Anyone else see this on their graphs or was it just Stan's?

If I recall his A/F ratios were running a little to lean to push it too much farther.. was a good run.. could have held on a little longer, got a video of it here.. I think the main issue with power was his boost dropping off 1psi..

anyways.. good day.. stuck round for a bit.. than left.. stupid whining gearbox.. shits me to tears now sounds like i'm running a dogbox or something..

you the guy with the white shirt and camera? LOL!!! any vids of my car?!?! :/

Did anyone happen to get a vid of my run?? If someone did i would like to get it. 177.1 with a stock computer wasnt bad, and the induction scream nearly gave me a hard on!!

Who had the RB20 GTS-t with STD turbo Stock ECU and heaps of powa....smoky or what??

you the guy with the white shirt and camera? LOL!!! any vids of my car?!?

yer morgs made 365rwkws with 19psi. Top secret car was a little disapointing made 440rwkws i think but had a t88-38k and 25psi i think thought it would pull more then that.

And where was duncun with BBQ :/

:sorcerer: Brad

Yeah great day in my opinion... nice area, plenty of parking (even if it was a bit tight) and overall very well organized! Well done to Adam :D

Personally I was a bit disappointed at my own result, not so much the number of rwkw's generated but the fact that I was running 1psi off from the tuning 2 weeks ago @ HITMAN. Also, I'm still wondering why they backed off the throttle at that specific rpm - definitely wasn't rev-cut. On a good note, I got a torque graph out of it :D very torquey setup :/

However, just like last time - I've come home with new ambitions (oh my god here we go again)... we've re-routed the boost lines and we're now currently holding 13psi flat :) Dunno if it'll be stable, need to get it dynoed again soon or maybe I'll just wait for the Haltech.

Great chatting with old mates, new mates and most of all seeing the turnout to this event!

Mik made 371kw. Boost is typically 1.45 bar.

Thanks to Adam for organising and John for running. Also, thanks to Ben for finally listening to me and strapping it down... :/

Did STD turbo GTR make more than last years mark of 284 rwkw?

yeah he got 265rwkw with nos, between 4000 and 4200 rpm he went from 120rwkw to 235 rwkw!!!! Near vert curve. Crazy.

It only took that long as I asked Ben from UAS to ramp it slowly to 4400rpm then bury it :/ Not a great idea ramping from low rpm with nitrous on a dyno under load. Rods don't like it. lol

I was happy with the 190kW no gas - I hope anyone who watched the curve or saw the power vs. manifold pressure graph took note of the values. If there are any old pricks with something to say purely for the sake of saying something still talking i'd be surprised.

Thanks to Adam, Turbosmart and UAS for a great day.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
