Kym,

As I keep telling you, you need to get it on a dyno, to see what is wrong, we are currently guessing what the problem is, we need to monitor alot of factors to tell you what to do. Yes those two things may help, but then again it could be related to something else.

See'ya:burnout:

Standard bovs LEAK thats why we put after market ones on

Unless your gay then you just put one on that gos choooooooooooooooooo

Strich9 buddy! Dont stress about your Air fuel ratios man, I have to wash the back of my white line every 2nd day and shan gets watery eyes after a few mins of driving behind me, thats if i havent burnt his bonnet by then :D

Rev i got 250RWHP @ Myaree on 10psi pod and cat back, EBC lol

My last dyno at SSTs seemed very harsh i only got 286hp @ 16psi but partly due to turbo and timing issues

Steve... I kinda asked this when I was there last night but didnt get a chance to find out properly.... Are you able to tune my AVC-R on the dyno down there at SST??? I will need someone to do this after I have run my new clutch in ( Say in about a week or two's time )

Thanks

Little $$'s??? I've spent more money than most people who have done their fmic, I did buy a trust unit remember. The whole idea of the trust cooler was to improve intake temps in order to reduce pinging (and I can run 12-13psi all day everyday even in 30 degree heat) without the car pinging. Once I get this AF ratio sorted then I can start mucking around with the timing, like rev210 is.

Just to clear things up. Speedworks dont actually have a Dyno. The dyno belongs to Automotive Power Analysis and resides at JRT in Bentley.

As for Rob's figure? We were all scratching our heads on that one during the dyno day! It was a freak run which seemed a little out considering the other 30 cars done during the day produced their expected hp figures. Including mine.

I dont think the dyno is "high reading" as such. Perhaps a setting was incorrect, we did noticed that it being a hub dyno it was extremely sensitive to diff ratio settings and could calculate way out of whack if it was even slightly out.

Oh well, like VSpec says... just as long as you use the same dyno for your benchmarking, you cant go wrong :D

Red17

Its 273ps not hp. its about 270hp. We're not sure why the dyno read that figure, it was a crazy figure considering what was done to the car at the time. A supra also pulled an odd figure too and everyone else on the day seemed to pull normal figures. I'll be going down the drags sometime soonish and hope to be around the mid 13's.

giz01, the power is not as important as how it generates the power, now with the boost and FMIC I think rob should easily get a 13. Some cars with more power are getting slower times due to wheelspin and lag etc, so power is not always directly correlated to fast 1/4mile times.

"Dyno proven" is a bad mix of words. Dyno tuned or Dynotested

maybe. In the new issue of Perth street car there is a good

example, A Falcon "Dyno proven 502rwhp" STD internals?

and runs in the 12s on slicks mmmmm sounds suss hay.

On Tuesday I had a BIG Valiant 6Cyl non turbo or NOS

make 305rwhp with spectators here saying i tricked

the Dyno and was bull shitting them.

Last nite it ran 11.5@ 114mph full bodyed and 1400kgs

and a XB falcon road car on slicks 293rwhp 12.2sec.

The 1/4 mile should be used to see if your shop is fudging

power figs. "Dynos can lie"

"TRACK PROVEN" is the only true way of proven.

I agree steve.

After all the dyno is just part of the tuning process to get the cars real perfomance when doing the thing you love to do the most... racing!

I have found some tuners do the final dyno tune with the bonnet 'up'. This goes for power runs as well. Although there is certainly reasons of keeping the engine 'cool' for long periods of tune, the final tweaks and power run ought to be done with the lid down I reckon. At least I have asked this in the past- with some strange looks given but, I feel a better tune results.

I could be wrong but, the car doesnt get driven around with the bonnet up.

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
