if converters kill dyno readings im scared... haha my tce converter wil stall at 5200 on the trans brake... in saying that pannic has a 5500 stall and made 580rwkw so i probably shouldnt b to worried... at the end of the day every1 has there favourite workshop and tuner, the bu l ls h it wil stop when we all go 2 heathcote and put some numbers down. who agrees??? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my argument wasnt with u. it was with those who used ur figures to say that boostworx' dyno reads less than hi tech's dyno, which i thought was bvllsh1t.

Rob, 5 rwkw difference isnt much, but i have seen a bluebird wagon with SR20 that made 330rwkw on hi-tech dyno, then in the same week only make 285rwkw on boostworx dyno. Corran- If you had of fixed that fuel pump problem, your motor would probly still be alive.

Yeah, i think his name was Alex, i dont reckon he changed anything coz he wasn't happy that it made less power than it should have. It is a massive difference in power. You can't make a dyno read lower power than the car makes, but you can make the figgures read higher.

john detuned it on purpose (sr20) he told alex his dyno or no dyno... john doesnt trust some people with keepn there foot in it 4 2 long or putting enough load on the dyno... shaun also knew that car was from hi tech and i wouldnt b surprised if he tinkered with the dyno 2 make alex, john and the car look stupid... ive seen the car go on lonsdale highway- rolling start from 60km beside an R1 yamaha was side by side. it b like that if it had 285kw

Thats the silliest comment.. One second your saying John detuned the car then your saying Shaun probably fiddled.. If you know Shaun he really couldn't give two ****s. And hell.. Why would you detune the motor for reliability, the idea is to tune for reliability, not dyno queen style. Have another read of my origional post.. I'll highlight the areas of interest. Quote: There was a little controversy last year as a one person came from other dyno making 30-40rwkw more and then ran away having a cry; another ran up up his LS1 and made a little less but thats dyno's for you. Shauns does tend to read a tad lower than some. Its definitely not a happy dyno. That last little bit... That actually states it reads lower than SOME, and that it is definitely not a happy dyno but rather quite spot on and 'realistic' from what I have seen.

explain when i c u in person next time... im not writing a novel... sorry carl p.s carl, look at the chicks next 2 my car in the vote thread... wat u think?

I think the bluebird must have been down on power on the day as when it left it didn't look like a genuine 330rwkw. But as you say... it was detuned.

do u know wat feul he was running that day? it was originally tuned on martini, but he was driving it on the street abit around then so mayb it had pump in it???

I strapped that bluebird down, and sat by the back wheels, it made 330rwkw at hi-tech the day before on pump fuel and some additive. It made 285rwkw and the thing was weak to watch, it just doesn't get up on the rollers like a big v8 or turboi 6, he blamed wheelspin , but i can tell you that it wasn't, it was obvious as, Sky30's car has more traction problems than that car. i coudn't care less care less whos dyno reads what, the track will decide that, but that's what happened on that day cheers darren
