Sau Dyno Database

[islade]

Dude,

I love this site. And we keep referring people to the dyno results threads when they ask for "what turbo" etc.

I'm happy to code up a database where people can log their details about their cars properly, and then we can do searches based on what turbo, what power, etc and have rankings etc...

If I was going to do something like this, would you like me to have it hosted on SAU, or do my own thing on a seperate server that you can then link to, or what?

If we were going to do this, i'd love to open it up to suggestions from all members, so i can come up with the ultimate plan before we get started, maybe have a list of parts, and you can choose which ones you are using, so people can search for other members with certain mods.

Thoughts?

Just wanted to clarify, it's all about performance. The current "garage" system is useless if i wanna get an idea for what mods are capable of what, or anything like that, and it's impossible to search on useful things (such as what turbo)

That wouldn't be a major issue to setup.

However what will be - is stopping the ridiculous results and so on getting in there.

Nothing to stop someone creating some bogus claim and entering it in which would throw the results off and so on.

It would also need to convert km/h to RPM based on standard gearing (32-33, & 34) as many people only have km/h

Yea, we'd definitely need some moderators or something.

I figure we could have comments on each result, so people could ask questions / make accusations etc

I think the gearing thing would be very, very easy, i'd just need to find out what figure i need to mutilpy/divide by to get RPM.

Have you guys thought of doing this before?

Its a really good idea.

possibly have someone screen results before they are approved such as they have in the buildups and projects section.

IE

No dyno sheet and no information = f**k off.

Could work easy.
