FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKK!!!! now that is a burnout machine i want one of those for christmas

one turbo that size is scary 2 is just plain wrong, im speechless that thing is f*ken physco.

i wonder what 1/4 time,how it would be to drive it and how much it cost them to make it

[sky^rkt]

bah power figures on a dyno mean sweet f**k all to me. put it on the black stuff and lets see what it can do. dynos are for ladies *hides*

Well he did run 8.1 @ 170-odd-mph in his VH.

Eddy isn't afraid to race em!

[CruiseLiner]

awesome results and as said above eddy tasone was previously a big figure in drag racing in WA and he was running 9s on a N/A 383 stroker years ago (low 9's i think from memory) in his slr torana.

then the vh ran 8.1 or so and this thing is obviously abit of a dyno car rather than an out and out drag car.

why does everyone have to hang shit on any figures that come up with lame comments like "its only making .... hp, etc etc.

where is all these keyboard warriors dyno graphs? if u aint got something remotely close to that then how can u say it only made X amount of power?

all i can say is good work active automotive

You need to get yourself over to the 5 pager on Street Commodores where you will see the official response from Dyno Dynamics and what the actual result was +/- 10%.

Where's your dyno graph by the way?

GO EDDY!

I am known as DARE U on the Street Commodores site, you will find several posts by me on there, that is pretty much where I got the info (and the pics) for this post.

There is a report on the dyno dynamics website in regards to this, until yesterday, they thought it was a new record, and they don't make any attempt to estimate what the figure should have been, so I am not sure where "Do It Again" on the SC forum got his info from. Here is the link for the official Dyno Dynamics response http://www.dyno.com.au/news.htm#june01_Altomak

And I agree, world record or not, it is still a valiant effort for a car that is not tuned on an incomplete run. Good luck to him, I hope he does back up his figure and breaks the record.

I think you'll find that this controversy (just like the NOS/Summernats issue) will spur Eddy on to bigger and better things. Watch out Summernats 20!

Why did they run it untuned?

cheers

[2rismo]

Because they barely had time to build the motor after cracking the block on the old one.

That's right, they cracked the block on the old motor, and the new one was only put together a day or two before the event. I just heard that Eddy will be running the car again probably today or tomorrow to "see where it's at".

An interesting point though, is the fact that the power run was cut short by 1500rpm because the twin-retarder dyno was maxed out and displaying an error message. That didn't happen with Brett Waines 1470rwhp run, and no one seems to be able to say what the limit for the dyno is, but it stopped at an indicated 1895.9hp.

Does that one have to be pluged into a power point to get the electricity necessary to run it? The alternator doesn't have sufficient output to run the fuel pumps, igntion etc so it needs to be plugged into 240 volts to run.

cheers

PS; How can it be a World Record when I saw a supercharged big block door slammer make 2500+ hp on hub dyno is Las Vegas about 10 years ago?

ALWAYS something to say

[Zoggy]

pffft is that all it pulled

[Cubes]

Its no good if it doesn't return respectable fuel economy plodding around town.

[GT-R32]

Credit where it's due. That is an awesome power figure and a credit to all involved.

Why is the inlet temp 230 degrees celsius?

Why is the inlet temp 230 degrees celsius?

This was explained before. The sensor failed during the second run causing it to go into open circuit mode and read 230 degrees. As a result a correction value of over 30% was applied. Meaning that the run was not a record, and should have been between 1300-1400hp. Still good for an untuned car on a run which was cut 1500rpm short. Apparently Eddy is going to tune the car and re-run it and go for the record again.

My RB20 can beat that, it just doesnt want to....

[FLYSKY1]
