I don't know what your idea of significant is, surely not you zooming away in second whilst I was in third ? My judgement was that your lightweight car was producing about 540hp - no more.

Lets do some bench racing since you think your Ruf is so much faster than mine - I'll send you the AX22 and you do a couple of 60-130runs (if you can you 60-155 even better, I have data on mine up to there) and send it back to me - we can then see which car is significantly slower OK![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)

if you look at the video on the first straight where we started side by side, from 3rd gear onwards you are being trashed, if we didn't need to slow and turn at that stage you would have been nowhere, as we can see on the other side.
p.s i suppose your nerves got the better of you because we had clearly stated a 2nd gear start on the 2nd straight and i can also see you count to three on the video...surely that's what we had discussed....one, two, three, GO...

I don't think it's faster, I have undeniably proved it at vmax, if you want to waste time with your ax22 go ahead, but when it comes to me vs you in the world where variables are equal (i.e vmax event) there was only one winner

Leon,
Just one question, are you sure you can beat Toby's car in a similar run to 190mph for instance (no gearing issues) or any other acceleration run again, and are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?
Cheers

If your car was so much quicker why was it only 5mph faster - that is not a "thrashing" in my book.

It did not accelerate as quickly as yours because it had less power and was heavier - the gearing was actually in your favour since these turbo engines accelerate fastest with longer gears - I won't even get into that as I suspect it would be a waste of time.

I have seen the curves which your chassis dyno can produce for these engines running with fixed boost and they are very simialr in shape to my curve -so there is your answer, it won't tell you anything
I completely disagree that a torque measurement is the same the world over - I have seen your machine tell people they haqve 800NM when they are running componentry not capable of producing those numbers (Porsche comparable).
BTW I am not picking on you, the classic was the Weltmiester torque monster 996GT2.

Using the "black dyno" is definitely the best measure of a cars performance but we should keep in mind that since no-one accepts uncorrected dyno numbers, unless cars are raced (read measured) side by side (or one after another on the same day) we should look to factor in air pressure, temperature and humidity corrections to the 60-130 (100-200 or 100-300) times. If not poor Jean will always be slower because he tests in a desert and us Manchester folk will be faster 'cause it really is bloody cold "oop North".
One day last week my dyno predicted a correction factor of 4% which would "add" over 20hp to your car, for instance, which would definitely make a difference to your 60-130 time. Food for thought I suppose. Incidentally, if ever you are testing in the area you can always call me and I will let you know the Cf from dyno's onboard weather station, may be useful for Jean's calculations.

What a terrific thread! I am not quite sure if its a "mines bigger than yours" scenario or if it is trying to be scientific. If its the former, well, I will leave it up to you big boys, if its trying to be scientific I would like to add my two pennyworth.
Firstly someone states that a turbo will accelerate faster in a taller gear. Wrong. Its a simple law of physics. Torque accelerates a car and the lower the gear the higher the torque multiplier is and thus there is more torque available at the wheels to accelerate the car. Of course, there will be more gearchanges required and the subsequent loss of time due to each change but I think that an extra gearchange will still give higher average acceleration.
If you want to measure engine power then use an engine dyno. There is no substitute. Changes can be made under controlled and repeatable conditions and thus any gains (or losses) in power can be verified. This is the most important factor in engine developemnt. You must be able to verify the results and without repeatable readings you are simply kidding yourself. If you want to see whose car is faster then the 60 to 130 (or 150) m.p.h. runs are fine. Just dont forget aerodynamics. The aero drag is by far the largest force to overcome and 911 of all derivatives are notoriously draggy.
I am also amused that people believe it is only the RS Tuning and Ruf type establishments that can produce good reliable power. This is simply not true either. Producing good reliable power from a turbo Porsche is not rocket science. Its a case of everything in moderation, heat, boost, compression ratio etc. It is expensive and you do need good components (although you dont neccessarily need intercoolers costing the earth!) but the secret is knowing what works and what doesn't.
Anyway, thats my tuppence worth and I cant wait to read the next installements!

It is this old chestnut which I obviously don't understand which is that when people attempt to tune using the 10sec power run method the numbers just don't perform on the road - if you have found a method of loading and tuning whilst under load then I would guess your numbers are going to be more Porsche like. Certainly Sportec and Manthey and Mr PhD on here seem to be able to tune pretty well using chassis dynos and this "loading" method.
Regarding the 60-130 runs, of course you are right - for my 6.9s run I waited 'til the conditions were perfect I guessed it was worth 20hp- in warmer weather I am a solid 7.2s![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have a my very own hammer now so I can see exactly what the engine ECU is reading, and the obvious thing is how the air mass changes with the weather![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Glad you're enjoying it
Leon's is definately bigger than mine, I have no desire to go over 190mph again whereas he seemed to relish it.
Of course you are technically right with the gear issue however the gearchange time IS important and makes quite a big difference to an acceleration run. Check out this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ghlight=torque
If one has a very broad power curve with for example 95% of peak power from 5000 to a peak of 6700rpm then longer gears which utilise the full 1700rpm will accelerate you the fastest - building an engine with this type of real power curve is difficult and most cannot do it.
I don't agree with your statement about 911 being draggy, relative to which othe rcars ? RS and Ruf proved in '88 that a 911 ccould do 213mph with just 469hp, I'm not aware of any other car which can get close ?
Porsche tuning may not be rocket science, but it is surprising how few tuners can do it right.
Oh and I don't agree about intercoolers, the ones that work cost plenty

Whilst I don't subscribe to embracing men in vests and long socks in the surf, threads like this remind me of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYOTK_6fIh8
I attended the last v-max, and think some further explanation is very pertinent. Am trying to be unbiased of course, since my own car has a little RS Tuning mojo.
TB's car did have some issues; he posted upon realising this here (page 4):
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...8&page=1&pp=15
I recall when myself and Leon did a run together this time he had the lead from the start, and upon hitting 3rd really pulled away like I had shifted into neutral, and left me eating his dust. Now nothing too perplexing in this you may say. But, I recall from the previous v-max to last in July, we ran together and there was nothing in it. I posted my thoughts at the time here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/993-turbo-forum/283629-vmax-today-any-news.html
So, given this last v-max in October I had changed my front splitter and rear wing to reduce drag, plus installed a MAF type Secan EVO intercooler I was bemused to how Leon could have dealt such a Drago-esque blow.
The only reason I can think of is the 102 race fuel Leon had in his car? I was running super unleaded plus 2 bottles of octane booster BTW, the same as the run in July. I am interested to what difference would be seen in the performance of mine and TB's motor's if we were to run such uber juice. It certainly seemed to be analogous to Leon popping a few little blue tablets in his tank. I mailed RS to ask of the safety of using such gas in my car, and in true style they have not bothered to reply!!
So, not as simple as it seems in my honest opinion, and certainly not clear cut enough for
to be banded around.
Hopefully RS will advise regards the 102 juice, and we should be able to see the relative effects at the next v-max.
Also, I feel it prudent that discussions on here should remain civil, and not degenerate into saying people are telling falsehoods and the like. This whole tuning thing is so fascinating, and it is great we are able to see how cars fettled by the different tuning houses compare.
Kind Regards
Martyn.
