Pipe down you twat.

When I post on a SECS post, it's because the guy is a rip-off con merchant.

So by your theory, are you suggesting that's the case here then?

At least I say what I mean....... what's with your constant digs at Harvey then, as it's certainly not the first time?

Come on - grow some balls, and get it off your chest.........

so whats the point of the dyno if it all has to be double checked on the road?
A good question, common too.

All development work is finalised in teh real world, even on modern cars like, say, the new BMW M3. Do you realise the new M3 is ALREADY on its seventh software revision? Yes, thats its MAPPING, and its been on sale for 1/2 a year, BMW keep updating as the REAL WORLD finds faults in there original layout, and they update it whilst its in for servicing..

Once the cars get out into the real world, there are various factors to take into consideration that a Dyno simply cannot prepare you for. Factors such as:

Restricted intake airflow
LESS Restricted intake airflow
Restricted engine cooling
LESS Restricted engine cooling
Restricted intercooler function
LESS Restricted intercooler function
Restricted exhaust system
LESS restrictive exhaust system?
Higher ECT's
Lower ECT's
Higher ACT's
Lower ECT's
Higher EGT's than present in static dyno area.
Lower EGT's than present in static dyno area.

The list goes on, and these are just dynamic factors right off teh top of my head... There are better ones:

The engine is now fuelled via your own fuel system.. can it play the game? Or is it failing to supply the rail with pressure at 7000RPM due to a shonky regulator or a regulator pipe clip slightly leaking?

The ecu you had mapped at 13.7volts is now powered by your own electrical system... is it still 13.7volts at 2.5bar of boost?

I could go on, but if i need to, please all just sell your cars and buy Micra's......

No I very much doubt that.

So any answer then?

It's just the "full 'o shit o-meter" was off the scale, and I wanted to see your reaction would be when I questioned it.

So come on then. You seem to have an idea that there's a better way to check the engine as suggested, and you seem to ridicule the idea of having to pay for a det check after a dyno session.

I just wondered what your idea would be........... well?

Damo,
What gap ? My auxilary radiator runs from the top of the standard one, all the way to the slam panel, so it is pretty much sealed in...

Obviously not, because on page 1 you wrote:

i thought this was the point of the dyno also?

so whats the point of the dyno if it all has to be double checked on the road
.... or did you ignore the fact that you wrote that?

The way it's written to me looks pedantic and condescending, so as such, I want to know, purely in the interest of sharing of information of course, as to what the better method would be.

You know full well you're not taking the engine out to dyno it for a simple turbo swap, so obviously that's not what's being referred to in the above.......

pon i refer to what i wrote on page 2:

lighten the fuck up pon you grumpy old c-unt!


I know im not taking the engine out, i think its pointless. I spoke to mike by PM about getting a turbo from harvey a while ago.

My point is whats the point in dyning an engine to within safe limits and then being told you cant run it flat out until you've had another check.

Its a wonder how all these engine builders cope with out dyno's isnt it.

Mapping on the road? who would have thought it

Plus what stu has added above, about all the additional effecting factors when the engine is back in the car!

Can you not see the thick peace of foam at the botton that they sit on that seals the two together, or do you need to go to Spec-Savers?

The Grp A cars don't have an intercooler in the way of the radiator .

The WRC cars run a HUGE radiator that goes to the top of the slam panel and a custom intercooler that runs the full width of the opening on the front spoiler .

...well i certainly dont want a shonky installation like yours...high temps must drop the BHP if mapped properly....but atleast you got a nice ACT

Why the as i was asking what they ran?..and assumed it was like the std setup
