Okay guys as promised here are the before/after results of some cheap maintenance + the different between a cat-back and a full exhaust. The graph is shown at the bottom.

Spec's:

BEFORE - Green line on the graph

1995 GTS-T Series II

FMIC (Micks Metalcrafts)

2 Stage Boost Controller (7/12 psi)

HKS Pod filter

3" Nismo cat-back

Stock ECU

Stock Turbo

96 RON Fuel

Motul Turbo Oil done 8,000km (Ouch!)

Results:

7psi = 168 rwkw

12psi = 192 rwkw

AFTER (3mths later) - Red line on the graph

FMIC (Micks Metalcrafts)

2 Stage Boost Controller (7/12 psi)

HKS Pod filter

3" Nismo cat-back

Stock ECU

Stock Turbo

* 3" Custom 1 piece Front+Dump Pipe

* 3" Custom Hiflowed Cat

* 98 RON Fuel

* New Ryco Oil Filter

* New Ryco Fuel Filter

* Castrol Magnatec Oil done 2,000km

(Car has not been serviced by a mechanic for atleast 15,000km, Just been doing fluid changes and sheee purrrs)

Results:

7psi = 185 rwkw (Up 17rwkw)

12psi = 203 rwkw (Up 11rwkw)

Conclusion

Well as you can see some cheap maintenance and a proper full exhaust system can make quite abit of difference. The midrange power in my car is 500% better now that I have a proper full 3" exhaust. Some of the benefits I (as a driver) noticed after fitting the exhaust:

* Heaps better midrange power it almost feels like the Turbo is cutting in earlier

* Much more free flowing when you back off the gas it literally just rolls for ever, none of the sudden jerky-ness it just keels going

* No difference in the note/sound of the exhaust from the inside the car

I don't know how my car drove with just the stock standard Nissan exhaust as the previous owner had already fitted the 3" Nismo Cat-Back, but basically from a novice drivers point of view your exhaust is only as good as the weakest link and if you only have a standard front + dump pipe your absolutely kidding yourself. Go and spend the extra $750 like I did and you'll love it to bits.  

I have no idea if the ECU has been re-mapped or has an addon-card. I've taken the kick panel off and everything appears to be stock, oem nissan stamp, no extra doobie-whackys etc. If you see me out and about ask me if you can see my ECU as no doubt you'll know what your looking for to work out if its stock or not coz I really have no idea.

I'm gonna keep throwing small amounts of money at this car (when I workout a new bank I can rob that isn't local) but keeping the Stock Turbo + ECU and really see what I can get out of it. Their have been HEAPS of people say that 200rwkw isn't possible from a stock ECU/Turbo well im going to get more out of this bitch you just watch me. (Hoping 210+)

I plan on changing the HKS Pod to an Apexi filter and also install the f/glass box I have and create an airduct from down on my front bar to feed the engine some much needed cold air. Maybe also 1 of those oil catch can thingy's and urmmm well I dunno i'll keep reading SAU to workout what else can be done.  

If you have any suggestions throw em hear as i'd love to hear your comments.

well done!

try a cold air feed down low up to your filter if it makes that power with 12psi of

hot air you will notice the diff str8 away being able to push 13psi max n no pingn,

havent followed ur progress but have u thought of using 98 octane and

advancing your base timing couple degrees? cheaper then a power fc too. lol

what about?

water spray mist on cooler when pressure rises above 10psi? all ads up.

:P

This thread is 2yrs old and alot has changed since then the main thing being that the dyno used for this run appeared to record slightly higher than normal power.

    • Hey guys, I’m a veteran detailer with years of hands-on experience. I’ll be sharing quick, effective detailing tips to help you keep your Skyline (or any ride) looking its best. Got a question? Fire away!
    • I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"
    • I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.
    • I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.
    • Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.
