Have you worn that dyno and Johan car out yet

Why not just put up where you were when you started where you were when you posted this and where you are now.

If you could post IAT as well at each rpm that would be cool

Sorry guys can't post any graphs yet, but we're trying to get a video loaded to post.

Still testing different configurations to find out what makes the most usable power.

I will ask for IAT's as well, good idea!

I know, I got the motor and the clutch that can handle it and all the wiring is done...but I don't think i'm going to go that direction anymore. I may change my mind in the future though!

Why the crazy hammering of the engine on the Dyno?

P.S. What are you doing up at this hour?

that WOT pull was 9 seconds. the vid I have of mine with redline set to 7200 (low) took 11.5 seconds for the same pull. Did they let off well before redline on yours?

Sounds fantastic Johan... I can tell she's worlds apart from the last time I drove her. I'm guessing the "hammering" is some tuning going on inside, and also guessing that the 9 second pull is short for one of two reasons... A. It's that much more powerful and spooled up that quickly, or B. just a semi-run also for tuning purposes.

To end the confusion it’s a full pull to redline. On the video the quick throttle slaps refer to a process involved in part throttle tuning. While the process won’t be explained due to obvious reasons, drivability makes the difference in a properly tuned vehicle.

Fortunately for us our dyno dynamics dyno is viewed by the world of "tuners" as the best tuning tool capable of simulating loads and events no where comparable to that of standard dyno systems.

We could have a conversation explaining how each dyno is different and why the Dyno Dynamics is the best but that’s a conversation on its own and like everything else we will be meet with opposition of some sort.

Johan your car rocks……….Ask Recoop we took him for a quick spin but we don’t expect him to come on here and actually make a factual statement in our regards, but hey you never know we will remain optimistic.

We will upload all the data at the same time. We want to make sure that we cover all relevant information its not as simple as a dyno graph that most wont know how to interpret. I apologize for the delay. Till then

We can only speculate, but dyno loading and "Ramp Time" could have something to do with it. I know on a DynoPac you can vary the ramp time (Aka, load the dyno up with x load and pull up to redline in 4 seconds and Y load and pull up to redline in 12). From what I understand longer ramp times give more accurate readings.

Gintani, always talking smack without showing the proof. Seriously....it was a fair question - I wouldn't want my car driven by anybody. Obviously if the owner was ok with it, no big deal.

Just got off work...sorry not to put this fire out earlier.

The owner of Gintani called and asked if they could put some miles on my car so the computer will adjust and then they could put it back on the dyno and tune some more. Since I'm 2716 miles away (and diesel fuel is $4/gal) I trust Gintani with my mini. So yes they asked and I authorized.

Good question PGT thanks for bringing that up

Yes battery box has been Fabbed...I am now using a light weight battery from Helix

--going to work...almost late too, this daylight saving time has been rough the last couple days

I'm not sure of the exact red-line, I think it was somwhere around 8K...When I talked to Gintani, they all were amazed on how fast this thing can rev up...not only on the dyno but on the street as well! I am very excited and can't wait to get this thing on the track!

Thanks! It was FAST too the last time you drove it. When I shipped it to Cali it only made 180 somthing on the dyno out there.

Who know's how to work this you-tube button on here??? I couldn't get it to work this morning.

Sounds lower than 8k from the video, but the audio quality is lacking, so who knows. I'd say 7200-7400...
