Martin do you compeat nationally in drag racing?The dyno sounds good, how does it control load? and what are you useing to check AFR? also what gear do you run the i30 on when you do the testing? and have you noticed any change in the power runing in different gears?thanks. also at any stage do you ever plan to test the i30 at the strip?john
however for ease of testing I have used fourth gear on the i30

Annually we organise and host a national drag racing tournament - http://www.ls1dragnationals.com.au. Our VX SS twin turbo sedan is the fastest four speed auto in Australia with 9.9 @ 145mph. Our Skyline GTR is the quickest radial tyred Skyline outside of Japan with 8.8 @ 163mph :geek:There should be no problems coaxing an i30CRDi to a 14 second pass down the strip when modified correctly
Thumper,I have often wondered about the speeds and times in the videos you put up for us. You seemed to get better times than the official Hyundai i30 times for acceleration. I never said anything at the time, but thought to myself that they may well be whole or partly due to the error in the speedometer readings. I know that at 100kph on the speedo, my GPS is reading 93kph. That's a 7.5% over error. So, 110kph on the speedo would be 102kph.The dyno would, I assume, give accurate measurements. Could this account for the error you are seeing? I'll be interested to see what Martin's response to your query is.I am going to be really interested to compare the speedo to the GPS to the speed readout I get from OBD2 port via the Scanguage II (when it arrives).Bob
Hey Bob are you getting that scan gauge? if so i can't wait to see how it works for you and how easy or hard you find mounting it somewhere.
Mine doesn't sound anything like a VW.......More like a WRX with a sports exhaust. and know they had an aircooled resognator sound, the WRX is same layout but water cooled and has a hair dryer i like how it works, and will be very happy if i see an economy gain.cheers John
Hi Guys,It's all good, A bit louder then before but only slightly (sounds like a diesel with a sports exhaust - surprise, surprise) more like a WRX than a VW.. thankfully. Will get the wife to take her for a spin and get her opinion over the next few days as she is pretty perceptive.. I reset her litres per 100km reading then took her for a 20km spin with some good revving, then cruised home and she's showing 4.7 (will be interesting to drive normally and monitor her over the next few days) Will keep you posted
Hi Lakes, Dazz, Thumper.I am still considering the flow through exhaust. Now some of you have had the system fitted for a while. what is the general concensus? Do we all agree that there is a noticable fuel economy improvement? Is it worth the expence?
