Hey all, have made the pilrimage from the Sunshine Coast down to CNJ Motorsport in Underwood (South Bris) this morning to get a Dyno retune done to enhance recent upgrades.
Considering there is no air being forced into the engine (as the car is not actually moving) is there an accepted allowance that people add on top of the Dyno result to gauge the actual rwkw of the car (vs...say a TT!?)whilst it is in "normal" road driving conditions?

Agh, ok I'm actually sitting here now (wireless internet is the ducks nuts) watching them do it. I notice they do indeed have a big arse fan but havent switched it on as yet.

but you have to take away 3 rwkw's for each of the folowing shopping list, GT wing, Dice, Neons, LED washer jets, as these do make your car faster while standing still and are as such an unfair advantage to the rest of us.

Cool piss takes Guys, but I'm sure you can all do better!? What do you expect from a white collar guy with no idea about cars? I've had my car for 7yrs but have only just started playing round with it in the last 18 months.
No the UniChip was installed by Croydon Motor Sports (Sydney) where I used to live........however for any N/A V8 owner thinking of putting one in I'd say go right ahead you wont be disappointed but do the intake/exhust etc etc first or it wont count for •••••
Still working out how to drive this excellent forum of yours or would attach a screenshot of the result but it was................................................................................................. .......wait for it.............................

Maybe I should have said when I started the thread. I have forward ducting from centre grill & under driverside headlight (bit like like the BFI 3 from what I can tell) to an "Ingen Tech" short ram cold air induction kit. I understand this provides positive forced air pressure to the (regulated by the sensor of coarse) air filter then on to the engine. The reason I asked the question in the first place is probably like everyone else out there my car is significantly more responsive when its a cold night & when from rolling start. I just wondered what kind of benifit I may have been getting from the "Ram" as clearly cold air is benificial......guess none huh!?
173.1 rwkw on BP 98RON, air temperature (according to the car was 33 degrees when it was done)......pretty pissy next to the TT boys results I've seen. How do I stack up next to the ave N/A 1UZFE? The Croydon guys told me having 285's on the back of the car was also dragging rwkw down.....personally I can live with it as it looks cool & handles fine with fats. Is it true though?
Benny Gammelmark is pumping out some serious numbers without forced induction from memory. Possibly higher than this figure... hopefully he'll read and verify one way or the other.

Benny
hat of to ya mate,....Drats! The ol beaten by a 1996 trick. Wonder where the extra 5rwkw you have is coming from (I have Neils headers as well) racing cats etc etc much similar to yours. Does the 96 have VVTi?
