Funny thing is that I also have used the Haltech system in the Rotary Engine world and they performed just fine. The 3 rotor going in my 914 is going to have a Haltech E11 V2. Not sure what issues you were having but I would be curious to know.

My 968 Turbo is using a MoTec M4. Your numbers sound really good and I look forward to seeing the dyno sheets. Any chance you have pics or video of the car you wish to share?

*slap forehead* Just checked the Link that Rolex provided. Nice car!

I can't recall Solo, it was years and years ago, sorry pal. And yes I did post a link dummy, it is in bright red, how did you miss it? Anyway, let's hope Jason comes back on at some point and provides us with more info. More so, the dyno sheets so we can see how his beautiful car did too.

Rolex: A friend and myself just purchased a Dynojet for the home office (shop) and will be setting it up this spring. I'll be sure to tie down every beast that I own and share the results here. I promise! It would be nice to get a thread going for dynosheets of different configurations.

Not go to OT in Jason's thread, but I don't care about any car you dyno. The only thing I want to see strapped down and tested is the 1953 Kaiser Manhatten - Old & Slow from your fleet!

Well odds are that you will get your wish. I can see that inline 6 Continental engine pushing out a ground pounding 65 hp to the wheels. It's a good thing it's heavy. Nothing like an extra couple of tons to help it hold the road.

If you think you can scare people in a 951 just wait till you take a 5000 lb 1953 bathtub around the track - scary.....for all the wrong reasons.

Close enough, but not quite correct. To recover the initial hp # from a 15% loss, you need to increase the lesser amount by 17.6%, or 1/0.85.

That brings us to 498.8 hp and 460 tq.

498.8 x 0.85 = 424
460 x 0.85 = 391

Thanks.

Rolex, which engine builder's did you ask?
Just curious.

OK,

I'll get copies of the dyno charts...

Rolex, I'll need some of that Magical Pixie Dust to get them posted on here though.

Can somebody tell me how to do it?

Just divide by .85.

Jason,I am on a GT3 forum here in the UK and one of their tyre suppliers is taking delivery of 315-30-18 Toyo R888 on 17th Feb 2007. Is this the sort of size you are looking for?

Paul,

I'm actually looking for 265/35/18 and 295/30/18 for my car...

Can't wait to get them over here.

If you know of any of those sizes, please let me know!

Jason

Should have dyno sheets sent over to me by lunchtime...With the help of Rolex, they will be posted here sometime after I send them over to him.

Thanks for the help!

Jason
