Recommended Posts

pure_methamphetamachine you are a God! Atleast your car is...GR8 figure dude

Cheers for the remarks peoples :)

Friday 3rd November is the first night drags here in NZ. I SO can't wait... Problem is the weight. All I want is an 11.99 so I can say it is in the 11's :laugh:

Moving 2 tonnes off the line and accelerating it is difficult. It does 100 - 200 in basically the same time as 0 - 100...

Im hitting the dyno on saturday, it is a 4wd dyno what should i run the car in? 50/50 or just normal?

Mine tended to walk around a bit, so I put it in “Snow” mode and it was fine.

:yes: cheers :P

I did mine in 50/50 mode but not sure if that would make any difference since ATESSA reverts to normal operation after say 20km/h apparently. Although I cant really prove this - should've done a run without the 50/50 turned on but too late now...

maybe I could've got 5-10 more awkw's by turning that mode off - who knows...

All the info i've read about the 50-50 mode makes me think I'll never need it. Even in very wet conditions here its still very difficult to make the wheels spin when in normal mode.

don't you mean third? in my understanding comparative dyno runs need to be done in a 1:1 ratio,which would be 3rd in a stag auto. otherwise you're going to get inflated readings.

Justin...

Nope, can't use 3rd because it will kick down to 2nd at low rpm and big throttle openings.

Aside from giving inconsistent readings, that's rather dangerous as well.

Auto's are nearly always done in 2nd gear for that reason.

It's an auto anyway, so there is no such thing as 1 to 1 in any gear.

The torque converter won't lock up under full power, so there is always "slip".

:P cheers :O

Any slip in the ATTESSA clutch packs results in power loss (well conversion into heat, anyway).

So it could be argued that 50/50 mode will show higher power readings.

:P cheers :O

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
