Whilst not directly on topic - post 17 of the following link shows the different hp figures obtained using different shootout modes with the same car on the same day ( I knew turbo 4 cylinders were handicapped in shoot 4F :P ).

Notably, the second last dyno shows the effect on hp when the temp probe is placed near a heat source.

1/4 mile/ MPH for finding out how much usable power you have, as stated before dyno for tuning.

Is that still a reliable indication of power, even if my slug auto won't get off the line due to the stock stally stator?

Good friend of mine stopped posting outright power figures on his wall in his cell due to people not liking them reading lower than other shops, and I mean considerably lower, but like the big sign above his dyno reads, dynos lie, tracks don't . I'm yet to see a car that didn't run the mph on the strip that the dyno power figure suggested.

Power delivery. What you lost in peak power you may have gained everywhere else

Could be that. I don't have a dyno graph of the supposed 330wkw run on 98, but I do have a dyno graph of a 320wkw run on E85 (not the 260kw 98 run).
So less power on E85 than it supposedly had on 98, but its surely going to be faster.
I think there must have been some tweaking done of the ramp rate to achieve the 330wkw figure for 98.
This is the dyno graph of the E85 run, does it looks fast? It sure feels fast!

Feels faster or is faster?

Fair point, I've never been to the track so don't have any rock hard evidence.

Lets just say it definitely doesn't feel like it has had 70kw ripped from it!

Dynos are tuning tools. The absolute power and torque measurements are irrelevant unless being used for a comparison to a change being done to compare to a previous measurement on the same dyno but even then changes in the driveline can make it hard to compare.It is used solely for tuning to assess and optimize engine parameters by a skilled operator.

Example is my clubby that with a flash tune and diff gears measured 270rwkw and did 107mph.I installed cams with head work, hi stall and retune and measured 274rwkw and ran 112mph. Based on mph should be about 40rwkw difference. And based on mph it should be about the 285rwkw mark give or take. Moral of the story the tuner used the dyno to optimise the setup and mph told me how much power it really had. Hope this helps.

You can strap a car down to tight and lose power as well :(

Unfortunately there are many things that will effect dyno reads including tyre pressure

As others have said a dyno is just a tool used for tuning and a vague indication of power, that said a dyno isn't going to shop 100hp on a 1000hp car and vise versa, if you think the operator is fudging figures for what ever reason and not just a low reading dyno, I would be going else where

Mph is the best indication of power v weight and ET is an idication of setup

I always take my car to the 1/4 mile track after I do something to it ( power wise ) to see real life gains for both MPH and ET

An example for MPH, I not long ago had my 34 tuned and right after that I went to the strip, knowing it would run a 10 I rolled off the line and shifted to second then nailed it for the first 4 runs to get an idea of mph and ran consistent 131-132mph ranging from 11.6-12.5 et, last pass full noise from start 10.8@132mph so the start doesn't make much if any difference on mph unless your still turning tyres half track :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
