  1. Cheers. Seems the only real way to know is to test the flow.
  2. Cheers for that. Not quite what I was looking for but an interesting read. Ta
  3. I was dubious when i saw these kits. Good idea for a cheap fix but the standard caliper is designed for a smaller rotor. To get clearance on the larger rotor something has to give, hence the overhang.
  4. Somewhere I read about the difference between the TT and NA fuel pumps and how to identify them. I can't find the post again. Can anyone help?
  5. Check the connections on the solenoid on the steering rack. Dry joints in the "steering" ecu down by the engine ecu. As mentioned above speed sensor (your speedo will come and go with this one) Also mentioned above, the solder joints on the back of the speedo All sorts of cables Also mentioned above, a non hicas steering wheel on a hicas car
  6. Don't block it, just put a piece of tape down one side. This causes a bit of turbulance to better distribute the air and can sometimes help the MAF read more accurately
  7. Like suggested above, check your timing and if that is not bad, try putting a piece of tape down one side of the cone filters to "disturb" the air flow a bit
  8. Think you answered that earlier. A lower gear will give more drag on the dyno and may indicate a lossier transmission therefore upsetting the flywheel numbers
  9. What power are you running now ? without nos
  10. I think the vicous part of the diff is sealed so an oil change may not help
  11. This is true for wheel power but for flywheel the gearbox and diff ratios must be included in the calculation. One of the problems using a lower gear on a dyno is that the engine doesn't ever get to "real operating" conditions and skews the numbers somewhat. An engine can make more horsepower on a short dyno run as the cylinder temps are lower. Give it a more real world situation and the numbers become more reliable. A taller gear reduces wheel slip as well.
  12. Yes. Using a shorter ratio diff is like using a lower gear. Quite common for a TT with an NA diff to get huge figures, but they are not right. The Dyno operator needs to put the right diff ratio into his machine (usually selected with the type of vehicle)
  13. . That's like saying my car should accelerate in forth gear the same as it does in first. A lower gear will alway generate more force, that's why we have gears. The only difference is, is in the way it's measured, one using force or exerted pressure, the other using acceleration.
  14. They either took the gearbox and diff ratios into account or Car B needs a really good tune up :)
  15. The power run must be done in a 1 to 1 gear or you have to apply a correction factor to calculate the horsepower figures. A dyno run in first gear will give you huge torque and horsepower figures. Do it in 5th and it will look very sad. The calculation it does on run down is a drive train loss calculation, therefore allowing you to determine flywheel horsepower
  16. Try CRC contact cleaner. It's normally oils you're trying to remove
  17. Bit like the mesh they put on some water taps to make the water come out more uniform and smooth
  18. The mesh does alter (smooths) the airflow and does have a small effect on the AFM performance
  19. Good to hear you may have found something
  20. Sorry to hear the test went so wrong. At times I forget you're over there. I'm here having 26 degree, sunny, blue sky days.
