SignUp Now!I think what Blastap said is dead-on true, even for cars.
I'm betting he did those pulls on a DJ dyno. I've read/been told the same is also true with cars and trucks on DJ dynos. Some DJ sheets I've seen of 3rd gear pulls vs. 4th and 5th gear pulls show that the 3rd gear pull is usually the lowest. So in this case, if Rex can get around the speed limiter issure and redline it in 5th, it might actually read higher than his 4th gear pull. :biggrin: I haven't a clue about the CF for temp and all that other stuff, I'm just talking about the gearing that is used on the dyno.
This gear ratio argument has to do with engine loading. A motor has less load on it in 3rd gear than in 5th gear. That's also why rear gear ratio changes don't take well to the dyno if you go from 3.15 to a 3.73 or something like that and keep the same tire diameter.
I've also read that because of these loading factors, eddy current dynos are much better at producing consistent power readings no matter what gear you're in. I wish I had both dynos next to me to test this out because I'm 99% sure it's true.
This is from a streetbike website, but I believe the same is true for cars as well. Why wouldn't it be? So read up DJM Direct. Your comments on doing a dyno pull in 1st gear make no sense for producing a high output dyno sheet. Maybe it was a wacky dyno, but you are also contributing to the amount of BS on the net. Scroll down to the "gear ratios" section for more info. http://www.hotbikeweb.com/tech/0808_hbkp_dyno_tuning_for_engine/dyno_testing_and_gear_ratios.html
Nah I wont get booted from here Saving guys money on the site means a lot to others and many dont care that i called bs on dyno numbers so life goes on.
like i said on my site
"I do give him probs on a bad ass set up yes but posting true numbers would be the way to finish the project."
Get that clutch fixed, 10 psi tune or whatever and then take it to the track and ill have some guys show up to race you and will be all fun. Sorry about some guys on my site just like some here they go overboard. We have 12.20-13.5 secondtrucks that will come out and race so im sure turbo xr will give the mid 12 second guys some good runs.
I'll leave it at that and get that trucks bugs worked out and take that thing to the track show us what it can do.
im surprised took you guys this long to figure out my 1st gear dyno and 1000 rwhp lol. Good job im glad people dont believe everything they read on the net.
5th gear/10 psi-- ill say should run 12.70s. 60 foots should be 1.7s easy on 275 40 17 mt drag rads.
Well said Mike. Useless reply DJM. I think the members of this site have made themselves perfectly clear in regards to this matter in a very mature way. All other parties involved have been ridiculously rude and childish.
Like I said, maybe if we stay off that SS site, he'll leave everyone here alone. Otherwise he can join Balboa and Brad as far as I'm concerned. :top:
I miss you Brad.

Rex let us know how much money you need for the next dyno, and maybe at another shop.
I'm in to put some money on the table to get this done for you (us, the real X-Runner enthusiasts). I'm sick of all this stupid bs talk.
my site has a call out section which lots of racing goes on. Shit talking goes on on that section just like street racing i do here in norcal.
I made the site because i talk shit at street races str8 up and thats how I have that section set up. then again you have to watch out for the fisting comments.
