Haha. Ill stand by the bet
Which dyno in newcastle did you go to? Your dyno shert says ultra tune??

The 2006 tbSti made 170kw on the Pulse dyno in Sydney - bone stock.
The 2007 GT made 150kw on the RTR dyno in Melbourne on an e-tune (and then Matt Kido squeezed another 10kw after tuning for 3 hours). So for a total of 160kwatw, with a full TBE, AVO TMIC, TS BOV, silicone turbo inlet etc.
Guess which car was significantly quicker and more impressive to drive? The GT, even on the e-tune.
The mods and a competent tune make a good car. Same mods, both with decent tune? You probably have an identical car.
Dynos are tools for tuning, not for comparing top end figures between different states. Take the same car to the same dyno on a different day, it'll read differently. Imagine what happens between different dynos altogether.
Also Shav, I don't believe you have a TC function in your car (same model as mine). Have you ever seen the TC light flash?
Seeing as everyone got somewhat low figures than standard, probably just a tough dyno.

Yes this dyno had a really big vibration from the front which was a bit weird and there were some read outs that were higher and lower than expected from members there. Hard to say other than I need to get it redynoed from another independent place to compare. In saying this, when I had the car first dynoed, it made 135kwatw with just a tune when I first bought the car. Towler Performance Dyno. Different time of year/day. A 28kw atw gain between now and then is good I guess, but I was expecting better. Im not gonna cry over spilt milk about it. It's just a number and the car feels strong and torquey. I reckon a VF52 would probably push it closer to 180ish yeah on 98/100 ron and lots more mid range? Not worried about eflex/E85.

sorry bloke. The deal was too good to refuse and I want the car finished off in the looks department. Hoping this will do the trick.

If you get it dynoed again - play around with the switch. It will be interesting to see if it makes any difference, and you'll have your answer
E85 is a game changer on turbo cars, and vf52 is what the GT should have come with from factory (I wouldn't spend more than $1000 on one though - for the gains). Any serious torque increase on an ageing EJ255....you'd want to save up for the rebuild, which will inevitably happen.shav wrote:jacks-GTB wrote:I almost bought those damd skirts shav....you beat me to it

Congrats shav! Mine are finally going on in a month or so (after 5 months of being garaged ). Jackson and I would have had an almost identical exterior...bar the wheels...

150 kwatw wheels is what I would expect from mine, so I reckon if you had another crack on the dyno- your figures would climb a bit more.-scientific as hell , I know .
When it was my run on that same dyno a few months before your run Shav- it failed. I definitely think that dyno is a little rough ha
I'm starting to lean to the side of selling my Lib to get something a little lighter and manual , because I'm starting to feel chasing power to level which I think is fun, isn't going to worth the cost. Even if I get an NA LIb wagon and cheap GC8 WRX to flog ( which seem to be popping up so much in the last month or so )
I'd be frothing if I had all these extra bits on my car Shav, your car will look next level with skirts and pods!
