Just off the phone to Thor racing and they are reporting that the mapping is going well and everything will be finished on Thursday morning. They have only ran it up to about 8 or 10 psi at present and are getting good power from that. He asked me what sort of power figures i thought would be achieved, but i have got no idea!

 

So,

 

I would like to run a small guess the power competition!

 

The member who guesses the closest to the final flywheel power figure that is achieved by Thursday afternoon i will donate £20 to a charity of their choice.

 

All the engine information can be found on my rides page.

 

Good Luck!:D

Just off the phone to Thor. Mapping is finished and they did the power run.

 

Pretty pleased with the result,

 

 

575BHP at the flywheel, which was 513.9BHP at the hubs!

 

 

I havent seen the printout yet as i am collecting the car from centre of gravity on Tuesday so will post it up then.

 

Am i correct in saying EvoluZion3 was the closest.....bang on 575! I will verify this on Tuesday and make a donation to his charity then!

Man that good but that is a high target you've set :slap:

 

Well done, bet you can't wait to drive it!

I'm going to guess 510 at the HUB for THOR's dyno

 

cough cough :) flywheel is just a guess anyway

how much boost did they run?

Dont know mate, didnt ask. Overlooked your 510 at the hubs guess! I will wait till i get the printout on Tuesday and you may have won! Think i need an independant ajudicator LOL!!!!

Just received printout via email. They said it was running 1.8 bar of boost for the power run. This means nothing to me! They said they took it for a drive and it is slightly damp outside, said it was very lively!

Bet your well chuffed with that :)

 

I would say in real term BHP at the wheels its going to be around 480-490 if you took it to a proper dyno ;)

 

So from experience of that power in a 300zx you will be a very happy bunny :)

I thought Thor's dyno was if anything, more accrurate because the hubs are bolted straight to the machine?

No bud nearly all the top dynos are all wheel dynos so the weight of the wheels etc are included in mapping and the power figures.

 

If you do a search on all the clubs its common knowledge that hub dynos are well out to what a real dyno will read, the hub figure is closer to the flywheel figure on wheel dynos and thors flywheel figure is a guess based on a persentage of the hub figure.
