Big thanks from WRC Tech

[weltmeister]

A big thank you to all of those who attended, I hope you were all pleased with the results ? Some nice big numbers were demonstrated today. I am sure that you will all have some numbers that are comparable with those in Australia.

It was nice to see our competitors in attendance and LSV even ran one of their 440 CAPA cars. The others declined to run their cars for various reasons.

Regards

Allan & Chris

Hopefully I can arrange a weekend sometime and get some rollers and Santa Pod in together.

A good day at wrc with around 15 cars in attendance. Nice to put some more faces to forum names.

5 Monaro CV8's, a new 6.0 litre VXR, a Comm SS V8, 3 utes - one from Vauxhall covered in VXR graphics, thanks stu - a some GTS's and a GTS-R.

Highlight of the day had to be the 2 supercharged vehicles with around 550 bhp! Was happy with my result of 382 bhp at the rollers. Surprise of the day went to Booster with his immaculately polished red CV8 - 390 bhp with cai, remap, standard headers (!) and custom exhaust. wrc reckon holden built it on a Monday morning (not friday afternoon..) and dropped a hsv block in it! Well done Booster - although you must get rid of those bicycle brakes!

Was hoping to see caspys vxr on the rollers 'cos it sounded soooo nice (and looked great too lowered with new suspension)... but it wasn't run

Many thanks to wrc .... but next time can u get your coffee machine fixed

A few pics from the day ...

A HUGE thanks to WRC for hosting this day. I found it extremely enjoyable and highly informative. My new WRC 300BHP+ hat goes off to you

It was also great to meet old and new faces.

stevieturbo & all; I'm sitting here with 2.5GB of Photo's & Movies of some cars on the dyno. I've also got around 500MB of CD quality audio from exhausts & dyno-runs. Thanks to everyone who contributed and I'm sorry I couldn't get around everyone but a combination of battery life, rain, & lack of storage media for the camera are my excuses. 2.5GB goes nowhere now a days. I might get to record some more exhaust notes tomorrow (Sunday) all being well.

Anyone able to assist with hosting this amount of data after I've cleaned up the images, audio, and movies?? I'm thinking DVD here so if anyone has any media that they would like to contribute please send it to me at (steve [dot] scargall [at] gmail [dot] com). If people are able to scan their Dyno Charts and send them to me I'll add it to your section of the DVD.

If anyone wants to assist with the DVD drop me a line.

Anyone able to suggest appropriate songs that we could use on the DVD?

Slow response from most guys because I think most are at Silverstone.For what its worth my figures are as follows for HSV GTS-R S/C:-

544.9 bhp 565 ft lb torque at 6200rpm /// making 515 ft lb at 2300rpm
Max torque developed at 3000rpm.lamba readout looked nice and flat.
On fuel consumption,total miles for day to WRC and home cruising at L/L +30 and including warm ups and 3 dyno runs came out at 22mpg.
Had car from new with 4 years of immense fun,doing all the work myself and full documentation of mods: decided to SELL and going to attack a new project.
Any interest mail me.

[caspy]

Great results for all.

Nice car Booster, great results, a HSV block ? Just a wortec tune, exhaust, cai and some great attention to detail.

Which tuner turned up and didnt run any cars ?

[jagsy]

Thanks Alan for event. Interesting stuff.

[v2hsv]

Allan,

Also a note to say many thanks to you and the guys for the Dyno day.
You guys displayed a well sorted and very professional organisation.

The dyno day was very enjoyable and I was very happy with my 245RWKW (406 bhp @ 6000rpm / 390 lbft @ 4600rpm @ Crank) also the straightest power curve!?! I have ever seen. The only thing that stopped it climbing was the rev limiter.

Chris performed 5 runs and every one went straight on till the rev limiter.

It behaved more like a forced induction engine: All 5 runs also perfomed exactly the same, the lines were all on top of each other. What an engine!

Now I have a baseline it's time to play.

Will see you guys again in the near future.

Thanks for the great day.
Eric

Thanks Allan for a professionally run and enjoyable dyno day. It was gratifying to note that both our dynos are giving virtually identical results, and that customers can get reliable benchmark figures.

Hi there, I was the chap with the note book talking to everyone and collating the power figures for Total Vauxhall.

Nice to meet you all, I really enjoyed seeing so many fine cars in the one place. The power figures were highly impressive and WRC were very well organised. I had no idea so many of the cars were modified.

I'll let you know what issue of the mag the feature goes in.

Cheers Dougie @ TV

Oh, and if you want them, I can post up the results if you like.
