i believe the 5 speeds are dynoed in 3rd.

Im not sure what type of correction is done to account for the differences in gear ratio, but i wonder how that interacts with the difference in load.

I dont know too much about it, but on the road, boost builds much easier in 4th than 3rd, and similarly, much easier in 5th than in 4th, b/c of the increased load.

 

That makes sense, becuase the 5 speeds ramped up much quicker than my car.

 

I should have stayed, then we could have seen the real world comparison on the 10

 

Since I'm kind of new to this dyno stuff, can you really have a correction/compensation for the heat factor ? My reasoning is that a car dynoed in hot weather will not make the same power as it does in cooler weather. Cooler weather will always make more power hands down. All us guys that were at TT this past weekend definitely made less power on the dyno due to the heat factor that weekend.

 

Here are a few pictures from the seminar. Note Gary Busey was in attendance.

 

And a few more...

 

I thought that was Tom Busey

 

Here it is! Once again, I have to say that the WR lives and is not too bad! Just not quite as good as the hype. The blue is Alex Alex, the Red is Atlvalet. Atlvalet's car has WR, no cam upgrade, high flow cat. Alex has 10.5 Ti, cams, no cat. This is race fuel. Does anyone want to see the same graph on 91 octane?

 

Smog, in this chart directly above ^^^, is the blue line my dyno chart?

 

Yup, you're the blue. Just like the car

And just for people who are new, the dyno sheet I have doesn't have a drop-off like that right before fuel cut. Shiv may have been messing around or something.

I am also speculating that Alex's chart is smoother because his car had been tuned before (and there is plenty of history with that set-up) and this was my first run with Shiv and the WR. I could be wrong though...

 

i'd say the WR is good for maybe 400whp MAX on this dyno, 110+ octane, 280 cams, no cat, and a full out drag race only tune.....about 380whp with a "regular" race fuel Shiv tune.

 

I'm not liking the 280's with the stock or WR turbo. In fact, Alex switched back to a 272, 264 combo.

 

even so, your car should gain 20-25whp with a set of cams, and no cat.....that puts you at 360-365whp given the same tune.....get more agressive with the tune, more boost, lower temps...I think that is where the WR will shine.

 

And remember, that's 360 to 65 hypothetical whp in horrible conditions.

I think you're right, though. Zeus was telling me the WR likes things at about 2 psi more than the stocker does. We're all still on a learning curve here with this turbo.

 

Put up the 91 comparo if you have a chance.
