Congrats to Dave for your blistering 617rwkw run... which he followed up the next day with a 593awkw run.

He took out the Tough as nails, outright power and AWD dyno trophies at Melbourne Autosalon this year.

The dyno runs were pretty consistent, with most cars getting around what they've recorded on other dyno's.

Also of special note, the Osman's $300,000 yellow bathtub recorded a mind boggling 102awkw.

Now all we need is a scan of Leewah's Dyno sheet printout.

More details and discussion in the VIC section.

617 at rears (hence rwkw) and 593 at all fours (hence awkw), think they removed the driveshaft on the front or something to cut off power to the front wheels.

He also has a torque splitter which could have helped.

Thanks for your comments peoples. It was a long road to getting stupid numbers out of the car without it blowing itself to kingdom come.

I haven't scanned the dyno sheet yet but will when I get some time quiet time at home. Should have it up soon.

We'll go racing soon, prob early May once we make sure the car and engine can sustain these power levels for a few runs.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
