You missed the point. Nobody said anything about "not enjoying" the horsepower, it's more a case of getting used to it & then wanting to experience that, 'WOW this feels fast' feeling again.

Show pony? I've never entered a car in a car show in my life, not intending to either. I don't give a rats arse if someone has more rwkw than me either. Do I enjoy putting that power to use on the street & strip? Hell yes!

... whats the point of horsepower if you can't enjoy it... why keep chasing more if you don't enjoy it after 2 weeks.... seems completely stupid... hell, i drive a piss-poor '88 Honda integra everyday, and enjoy it thoroughly everyday. and that's by no means fast....

Point being, if ya don't enjoy it, why the hell bother... or are you all show ponies??

I had my car dynoed just for fun because it only cost me $40 . Made 130rwkw on a 30 degree + day . Dont know what mode it was in , and the car is stock except for a 3" mandrel bent cat back .

Whenever my car "starts feeling slow" , I go take my mums daewoo for a spin . The skyline is heaven on earth after that torture :P

Hi Guys, one of the issues with Shootout mode is ambient air temperature correction. What the dyno does is compensate for the temperature of the day. Lets say its 36 degrees in the dyno room and as we know 8 degrees of temperature is worth 5% in horsepower. So if the dyno corrects the horsepower reading to 20 degrees ambient it adds 10% to the true power reading at the wheels. So the car might only be making 200 rwkw but the dyno will show 220 rwkw because that's what it would have made if the temperature had been 20 degrees instead of 36.

There is also altitude correction, where the dyno allows for its height above sea level. ie; it increases the power readings in an attempt to duplicate the horsepower that the engine would develop if it was at sea level.

Adding these two correction factors together, it is possible to have a car that actually produced 190 rwkw, show 220 rwkw on the dyno chart. The idea is of course to enable comparisons between dyno's in summer and winter and at different locations and therefore altitudes.

Maybe there are some dyno operators out there who use correction factors (there are more than these 2) for other purposes. Then again it could just be that I'm a suspicious kinda guy.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By Lithium · Posted

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
