Hi all,Just a heads up to the people attended on Sat, Mark (Jedi-77), Mike (RedZedMike), Doug & Son (Red32), if I missed anyone I apologise. My dyno session wasn't on until 5:20pm and Doug was on straight after me. I rocked up at 12:30pm, don't know how you did it guys but you guys rocked up around 9am and stayed till the afternoon. Well at least I had someone to chat with To sum it all up, I had a pretty good run, I had 2 runs, one at 7psi and the other at 14psi. I've contact these guys 2 weeks ago to see if they can re-tune my Turbo Link computer before the dyno day, but since they just got the Dyno installed they were pretty much flat out setting everything up. To cut the story short, since I got my car i fixed a few things as in manifold leaks, injector seals leaks, etc.. Now that everything is all fixed, my ecu still thinks it still have all those problems, hense me wanting to retune everything. Anyhow for the 1st run, I managed to get around the 100kW at the front weels, the freaky part is that my little pocket rocket managed to do 220+km/h in 4th gear at 7000rpm (mine redlines at 8000rpm), so they had to back it off. 2nd run was on 14psi, at first it was ok but when it started boosting it started to struggle (Ping,Detonate), so they had to back it off really early, and I managed to pull off 108kW at the front wheels. Before each car starts it's dyno they did a Drive Train Loss Reading and for my car it calculated that I had a 7kW drive train loss, then with that figure thats how they measured kW from the flywheel. I'm pretty happy when results considering my car only weighs around the 800kg mark With a retune, it's expected to get an estimated 140kW at the front wheels. Also watched Doug on the dyno, from memory I can't remember what you got, but it was pretty good for a stock NA Great stuff.Peace Tay
Nice work Tay! Very nice work =) I was there, too, but I either a) didn't know who you were, or b) missed you completely, hehe..I think I left shortly after you arrived, didn't see your car except for in the pictures though...... How a 1.3L engine can manage 140kw's I don't know... Keep up the good work! =) 6:9 :-ZOh, by the way, you can check out the other thread for the day here. Mark has posted some photos, and there's a link to a video of the day too... Enjoy! =)
There is another 5-6% power loss> from flywheel to rear wheels8-} These guys obviously have no idea what they are doing with their "new" Dyno IMHO.Go to an experienced operator with proven ability!Cheers Lloyd :-Z
