last year my car made 195rwkw,

this yeah 197rwkw, simular conditions and i have no cold air set up..

interesting to hear you guys were down on kw...

[Deluxe]

Yeh seems as tho there were mixed results!

[J_Red33]

Are you running a Pod Jazza? Would most likely explain the temps, used air from the radiator was probably being passing over; either that or the temp sensor was slightly placed incorrect.

With my CAI I see temps pretty much spot on the AT temp. Within a degree or two.

No I'm running the stock airbox actually, just with an APEXI panel filter. I must admit I was surprised that the reading was so high, though the fan could have actually been directing air around in the engine bay before heading into the CAI (I noticed the fan was completely missing the airbox as well as the intercooler), not to mention the whole car was hot from only just being driven & sitting out in the sun for 15 minutes.

There was also clearly heat issues with the smic as it did drop 7kw on the second run (you could see on the graph the torque dropping off right through the rev range. even though the boost creeps up a bit), though I'd be curious to see what the IT temp was on the second run.

Just out of curiousity how much power correction would you say there was Cubes? I do still very much agree with the dyno reading as acceleration at the top end for my car is far more explosive than it used to be with my old split dump (not as good a design & it cracked).

Thanks for letting me in in the traffic this morning by the way DriftR_33, made it to work with only 1 minute spare thanks to the fire at Jaycar

If assuming that Dyno Dynamics use SAE J1349 reference conditions, the reference temperature is 25C. If your IT was 40C, the correction would be roughly +3%. Conversly if the IT was 10C, the correction would be -3%.

[Cubes]

bah so stuff all then..

[J_Red33]

Hmm if this is so, then my actual reading was roughly 164kW before power correction, which is 6kw less again than even my second run came up with.

Hmmm, would be interested to know what others were getting on their IT readings now.

[Busky2k]

My IT was 37.

What I wanna know is what the reference BP (barometric pressure) units are that DD are using. If its kpa, then I would assume that a BP of 101.1 would have a negative correction on all our readings as the SAE reference is 98.8kpa.

Might shoot Dyno Dynamics an email...

try and find my extra 20kw that i lost

my extra bits are

BP: 101.3 RH: 60 AT:25 IT:39 RR:013 TN:3.454

[Cubes]

Interesting the IT temps are consistent.

Didn't feel like 40degree air inside there. yer was warm but not 40.

Was shaun placing the sensor on the pods/inlet snorkle etc I can't say I looked.

[Madaz]

maybee next time we organise a night time 1 last week he did a corrolla club dyno night troy didnt tell us much cuase my mate was talkin to him about it

[Cubes]

Interesting.... re the night time.

Would be good to go somewhere different also..

Blackwood auto and dyno has a good setup; from memory I remember they had windows that you could stand against and see the car running up.

There's also Hitech dyno.

[Busky2k]

Sorry Madaz can't say much from your Shootout parameters. Either your car has really lost power or the parameters from your last reading where whacky beacuse the current run seem OK to me right now.

And yeah a night time dyno would be sweet. But even during summer where its mid to high 20s over night, its still gonna be friggin hot!

Btw Cubes when I was in the cell I was sweatin in there? It seemed pretty hot. Or maybe because of all you onlookers expecting 1000rwkw. lol.

[Cubes]

lol... yer but 40degree air is damn hot..

[vange]

i was quite a bit out. n i only got tune 4-5 months ago at boostowrx

197 to 184

[Cubes]

Probably just strapped down a little different + the hotter weather.

mr_rbman had 2 runs on another dyno, made something like 214rwkw then another day 230rwkw. Just strapped down different

[Deluxe]

try and find my extra 20kw that i lost

I found it......... I found it.......... It came to my car, i was reading 18kw more than last time on the same dyno WITHOUT touching a thing!

As for the night time dyno thingo........ would either have to speak to residents around the area or find a dyno in a industrial area, cos i don't think they would be too happy!

[Rolls]

My IT was 39

Wilall Industries... Might wanna speak to M Donnan

[Nozila]

Wilall aint exactly the cheapest.

[EnricoPalazzo]

well thats teh only dyno i know in industrial area
