Front Pipe + Dump Pipe (Before/After Dyno Results) - 203rwkw Stock ECU/Turbo


Recommended Posts

my r33 is stock atm except today im installing a K&N poddy, next will be the exhaust, what exhaust would you guys recommend and where should i get it installed ? as i wanna get the best performancew i can get out of a new exhaust except i dont want much noise, jetspeed had a 4" tip that seemed to have a valve u could open and close in it to make it louder and softer which is good for me except i want much bigger than 4" :D something like 5 or 6"s :( can any of you guys help me out plz ?

Ben, haven't you been told? For each inch over 3" it will give you about 10rwkw gains!!!! :eek:

I'm saving up for a 12" muffler tip as we speak!!!! :lol:

just pull the exhaust off completely... or route the dump to the side drag style. no back pressure at all :D

better still reroute the exhaust back into the cabin, so u will look fully sick when u r cruising and u will feel fully sick in the car 2!! :lol:

I guestimate the afr based on the amount of timing I can give the thing and the new information provided by the S-afc.

Basically, you need very rich mixtures to enable lots of timing and if you run leaner mixtures (ala my new S-afc) you must peg back the timing. If I had 12's at the top end to begin with then I couldn't lean it off anymore than a few % at light throttle at 5000+rpm (just forget even full throttle). And I certainly couldn't run a base timing of 35deg +. 15 degrees is about it for 12/1 AFRs without some toluene.

Rev210 why don't you put the car on a Dyno and set the SAFC up properly, what's all this guessing A/F ratio according to timing crap?

Its his toy, if he cant play with it the way he wants, why have it???

turbomad,

Your right the AFR's guessing is crap. I don't give a rats arse what the AFR's are as long as the 'knock' and 'ping' situation is under control and the power is there. It's kind of like the rearwheel horsepower, I don't care to know. It actually won't make my car go faster knowing either. 'Tuning' the thing on a dyno makes a case for knowing but since I have yet to do so....

BTW,are you so sure I haven't set it up properly already without the dyno?

I said before somewhere else there might be a little more (5-10HP maybe) I might get out for the dyno time. Dyno time is expensive and tuning the S-afc is pretty easy with the knock sensor read out.

Does anyone remember the days of carby's and jetting? I never once did any 'dyno' tuning for that. I even tuned a Haletch F7B back in the days when it was new, without a dyno.

Tuning 'properly' does not necessarilly = dyno.

Unfortunately yes - got more than a few headaches trying to adjust mixtures on multi barrel carbs, and as for jetting, I dont even want to start...hehehe, that side was a nightmare.

MIC33R,

hear what you are saying. Dyno's are a tool for tuning and like sidchrome sockets and spanners I can't afford one, or afford to use one.

It is possible to get consistant results without the dyno in the same way as many people have got inconsistant results 'with' a dyno.

I suppose with or without a dyno, in the end it all comes down to the person doing the tuning. I went to Hills in Sydney because they have a good reputation for their tuning and they don't charge too much.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
