If the tuners were prepared to submit their product for controlled, independent testing, ie same dyno, cars, conditions etc, then we'd a better insight into what claims were real and what weren't. Maybe we should contact Choice magazine and get them to do it

I think Revo need to get off their backsides and get a dealer in Brisbane

I've only ever heard 20% for FWD, 25% for RWD and 30% for AWD or something like that.
yeah i'm 99% sure those are the correct figures. i have asked several mechanics and also our last dyno operator (who seemed to be very knowledgable), and they have all said pretty much the same thing. they have all given a percentage range ~3-4% on those numbers above.....for manual cars.
i didn't ask the real "drivetrain loss professor" however....google
Yeah, good one. Every result on Google is the same isn't it.
You never have any useful input into any topic. 4000+ posts, not one of interest.
I have no idea what you are talking about.... However if you keep on this topic which was about Unitronic and do a search I am sure I have seen it before were and I think I'm right where Timbo posted once about 15-20% figure for fwd
Good to discuss anyways. I do agree with Tosspot in regards to difference % loss on different wheel layout. Having said that, 20% is too much loss assuming the drivetrain are in good condition
Take a look at the dyno graph of fully stock FD2 Civic Type R K20A rated 225PS:
All cars are obviously different, but so are all dynos. Also, many car manufacturers understate their figures while tuners tend to overstate. Which is how we got onto this *looks at REVO*
I think its time to get off your pedestal man... Google may not be the best place to look, but its a start, and the figure he gave are pretty accurate.
I was asking a genuine question as to where he got it from.
I've seen it discussed here before, but never those figures. That's why I asked.
Stop hijacking threads to try to be cool with the useless crap you post. This has been a useful discussion without your interjections.
I'm not hijacking I am just saying that this has been discussed before and the fact that its about Unitronic chips not dynos, if anything it should be put on a new thread about dyno readouts.
I put google as a link so it can be used as a search engine a far greater one than a forum if you ask me even though this forum is a great wealth of knowledge to anyone.
