GVR4.ORG Dyno Shootout FAQ:
1) My mate's car isn't on here? How does he get on?
To get on this list you must comply with all of the following:
a) Must have a galantVR4.org user account.
b) Must be your car (or teams car in the case of race teams).
c) Must be a Mitsubishi car with a
E3XA chassis code.
c) Must be actual measured values from a dynamometer, not an estimated or calculated values.
2) Ok, I've checked all the right boxes, how do I get on there?
There are a few ways to get on the list:
a) Send me a PM with your dyno data - the more numbers the better /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
b) Make a new topic about your latest dyno escapades.
c) Post your run data in here (links to images is better than an embedded photo)
3) What kind of gas is 93? My petrol station only sells 98!
Fuel used is measured in AKI, which is a mean rather than a hopeful maximum - AKI is generally 4-5 points lower than the same RON; 98 RON = 93 AKI.
4) Oh Noez! You've got something wrong!
If you spot a mistake, typo or otherwise incorrect or missing information please let me know so I can fix it up.
5) Your layout is pretty rough/messed up/looks like dogs balls...
Yes, UBB doesn't like tables unlike HTML, but my xoom.com webpage is down at the moment...
6) Hey, where are all my old dyno runs?
To prevent cluttering and smothering the shootout, people will only have their best engine output listed. However, I am still recording all dyno runs for shits and giggles.
7) If you're recording everything, can you tell me what the record with xxx is?
Sure, drop me a PM with what you're after and I'll try and provide an answer.
8) Where do I go if I click on these links in the leaderboard?
If available, clicking the badge number will take you to the members ride page, the chart to a dyno plot and the sound board with a green dot to a video of the dyno run.
9) FWD? I thought VR4's were AWD!?
a) 4WD dynos are not available in all areas. Also, a dyno run in FWD should produce a slightly higher power figure at the
wheels due to less drivetrain loss.
b) Some cars are 2WD (Yes, not just FWD!)
10) Why is the type of dynamometer important?
Simply put, each brand has a different method of measuring engine output, be it directly from the drivetrain (hub dyno) or from rollers driving the wheels (rolling road dyno), which may lead to differences in measured output. Oh, and people swear black and blue that one brand 'reads low' compared to another.
