Yep, it arrived..

 

OK now I know it's anyones guess as to how accurate it is right now, since my Renault has never seen a dyno in its life, but I tested it tonight (handy sliproad!), pumped in the various figures you need (gear ratios, car weight, drag coefficient, frontal area, air temp, humidity, pressure, tyre size), and ran the test..

 

Came out with 127hp at the wheels, assuming ~15% drivetrain losses that would be 149bhp at the crank - stock is 137bhp, I have a filter, straight through exhaust, and hill power chip, which is probably ~10 or 15hp over stock tops, so I reckon it's not that far out really..

 

here's a pretty graph; http://www.mind-design.co.uk/images/dynorun1.jpg

 

It's a bit of fun, if nothing else

Looks good mate, that does sound pretty fair!

 

Right hurry up and get it rigged for the Z then show me how to do it...LOL...so that I can get one ordered!

Lol.. Steady on, first things first - get my Z running! Still waiting on parts from nissanparts.cc Looks like they sent it surface mail ffs! No tracking number.. Hmmmm..

 

Anyway - be a giggle to try it on your kirk, thats standard isn't it? So we'd actually know what the book figures are.. (Unlike my Ren, which isn't standard)

Yeah but my exhaust is currently a special one that helps me lose about 10-15 bhp...ROFL But still sounds like a corking performance one, loud as fook due to the down pipe and centre pipe not being together properly.

 

Book on him is about 175bhp though I think, 2.5 litre Cossie was 197bhp Not wheels obviously.

Where can I get one from? how much?

 

Phil.

Much reZZpect to the Senna and the 190 Cosworth LMAO!!

Excellent

Az,

Would be good to compare this with one of the cars that was on the dyno a few weeks back.

Yep that was my plan.. Have to figure out exactly how to wire it into a Z though first

 

Actually I have two ideas - either break into the timing loop (by the PTU) and take a signal there, or use one of the firing signals (that go to the PTU) from the ECU - either should work.. The method they reccommend in the docs is to insert a dress makers pin into the wire and croc clip to that... Hmmm!

 

Anyone want to volunteer their car? Andy?
