Sorry for the late reply but thanks to everyone for making it a great day, I learnt allot, but still don't know which one rinses and washes Cheers for organising it Gazza. As for Sam, was keen for beers at the beach afterwards but we'll have to do it another time. Next time I think we might have to chip in before hand and bulk buy some Iced Coffee's! Have to have a great start to the day!!!

Thanks for a great day Gaz
I was stoked to crack the 180RWKW barrier, still on stock boost (10psi)!
My mods for the 182.7RWKW: Engine supposedly rebuilt ex-Japan, Custom Huge FMIC, Hi-Flowed Turbos (ATS Melbourne), Apex'i S-AFC II, Exhaust (standard dumps), MV Automatics '1.5' Shift Kit, 18x9" Wheels 265/35 Falken Tyres and 32psi, 'Aurora' Heavy Duty Springs, 2nd Transmission Cooler & Pod Filter and PUMP fuel!!
Pen, the car is running a fairly conservative tune, and one of the Morpowa guys commented it was running a little rich, possibly explaining the 'afterburners'
So Gary, it would seem the only things Im lacking are 440s, Dumps and a decent tune.... and boost. Lookout!! ;)

Yeah big thanks from me as well Gaz, Had a great day!
The first time i have had mine on the dyno and to get 181.5 i was stoked! All the extra tricks to run big numbers only come out now of course .Next its dumps, 440's, have my boost controller and SAFC setup and see if i can close the gap to you a bit It was good to finally put a face to some names. When ever the next Dyno day / Drag meet comes around count me in!

is it possible to get some pictures of the day for the poor sods who missed out. Stupid people who decide to get married on a dyno day...i asked them to postpone but they wouldn't have a bar of it. Specifically piccies of the car yard with all the pretty soarers in there.

V8 guys post your mods however minor please! Pics tonight! BFI has so many variations being a DIY thing. The UZZ32 Active has a different type of power steering reservoir to a regular V8 and the TT is different again. I wanted to bolt my cover on the left and right side to keep it taught - that's why I went the full width cover bolted down on each side. Peter N. uses a tight foam insert - Gary's is different again. I don't think I've seen two the same!

UZZ30.
Configuration on the dyno day:
Exhaust - 2.5" from cat sensors back, 2.5" Lukey Hi-Flow, OEM tips. One muffler missing some of it's stuffing - no thanks to Ex-Tech crappy work. Probably worth a couple of rwkw though (coff). Iridium Spark Plugs. Penrite 15w-60 oil, specially run in for about 8,000km. El-cheepo oil filter. New thermostat and O-ring. Front of airbox cut out. Some stuffs to keep hot air out. Temp sensor on air intake. Zero resistance air filter. ECU reset. Temp sensor bypass resistor (runs done with it in and out). 45 PSI in rear tyres. All belts fitted. Windows up for less wind resistance. A few weeks of dirt to aid downforce. RSM to avoid speed cut. Dash mat to look cool and avoid glare. New diff oil 12 months ago. New P/S fluid 2 years ago. New ATF 3 years ago. Car has been trained at Mallala. Malkin steel brake hoses. Vlamos LCA bushes to give the dyno operator a smoother ride. TT front brakes and Lucas pads all round so the operator could stop the car safely after doing 160kph. Michelin Pilot Preceda tyres for better grip in case the operator hit a wet spot. 98RON fuel, about a week old - probably a bit stale and cost me that extra .3rwkw that I needed.

The graph was different but not because of the temp resistor. All the cars tested had different "ramp up" curves as the dyno operator tested how much throttle each car could take without kicking down to third gear. So the first run was usually done a bit easy before nailing the throttle up top to record peak. Then the next run the dyno operator would be more aggressive with the throttle giving more power for each rpm in the low range. This makes the graph go to the left and look like more power down low. Peter's Car recorded highest max power first run and slightly lower after that with the temp resister "on". My car also recorded highest peak first run and slightly lower 2nd and 3rd run. The dyno cannot show a better off the line response as described by Peter with his temp resistor on. The car on the dyno loads up before recording a dyno run - the effects of the temp resistor are lost on the dyno. The temp resistor showed no greater peak power. The dyno did not show and cannot show any difference with the temp sensor.

Well done to all. Good write up and pictures, looked like a great day. It was good see those who took advantage of any possible HP gains - ie no belts, using racing fuel etc, etc ( Pete ....) were honest enough to admit it and shared the details with us.
