Hi guys

I had a full 3" exhaust fitted today on an otherwise stock GTT.

BATMBL 3"split dump and front + big bodied stainless steel cat + cannon cat back with midmuffler/resonator.

First impression, loud! haha power wise, didnt feel that much of a difference, a tiny bit better but not like a 20-30rwkw gain. Boost increased by roughly 2psi from about 5000rpm onwards.

Anyways, I hadnt chucked my car on the dyno before so decided to give it a go. I know the R34 manual GTTs make roughly 140-150rwkw in stock form.

Put mine one, 163.5rwkw. Quite disappointing actually. I wanted to crack the 170 mark, I know all dynos etc are different etc etc. I thought my car woulda made 150rwkw stock, plus another 25 at least from the exhaust.

Here is the dyno sheet, what do you guys rekon?

Tuner recommended getting a FMIC as inlet temps were getting high.

Else he said everything is running fine (which is probably the best news).

Too much expectation with the exhaust, everyone was telling me how it would make a huge huge difference, hahaha ah well, the saga continues.

Thanks all!

163kw @ 25 PSI_g?

wat the hell?

please explain?

the power graph look nearly perfect?

very linear power.

U got POD?

i believe POD makes a different.

did u feel diferent with BATML dump?

i gona be instal BATML split dump in the weekend, and wana throw it onto dyno, c how much am geting,

interesting~!~

Oh so I am making 10psi with this setup? Fair enough then, no need for EBC or boost tap then haha

I know its a linear curve and all which is good for a stockish car. I dont have a pod, just a apexi panel filter. And I dont think Im making 25psi, I believe its 10? Correct me if I am wrong hahah And with regards to BATMBLs pipes, doesnt seem like it made much of a difference, maybe its just my setup but the 16rwkw claim for the dump pipe alone just doesnt add up with my sums.

I expected:

10-15 from the split dump

maybe 5-10 for the cat

and another 5-10 for the cat back.

So worst case should be a 20rwkw gain, best case, 30ish??

Yeah I wanted at least 20rwkw, goes to show that maybe an exhaust isnt what its all cracked up to be, I now find it hard how CES can claim to make 45rwkw on a S15 full exhaust.

No bleed valve no nothing, pretty much stock except for exhaust and apexi panel filter.

True, I should dynoed before, maybe the car wouldve only made 140kw, make this a gain of 23. The R34 HPI project car made 148 stock. Satanic's website mentions a R34 with only a catback and panel filter making 175! hahah ouch

i dont think the exhaust would make 25 kw extra.. maybe 10. That S15 might make a 45 kw gain on a full mod setup, turbo, ecu and supporting mods.

i fink the BATML claimed the new split dump front pipe and the new Hi-flow CAT with stainless steel inside claim 27kw increase for R32,

i am gona instal it in the weekend, on my r33

would be interesting to see wats the increase goin to be,

but i wont be dyno as stock, cos too much hassle, already got KnN and 3" from hks cat back.

got r34 intercooler and bleedvale on its way.

Either this one is a little low or my one is a little high... but my first dyno run was when the car was dead stock. Pulled 156rwkw which mind you is from an auto.

Stock manual should get what you are getting if not a bit more... on that same day there was a stock manual who pull about 165rwkw from memory.

Just my opinion don't mind me...

Gorgasm: from what it says here http://www.cesracing.com.au/Products/ it looks like 45rwkw on a stock S15 except for their full exhaust and pod filter. Maybe they respond better to exhaust mods coz perhaps their stock piping is very restrictive, and the R34 not as much. Maybe they didnt mention the other mods

Elushun: its a manual

Satanic: really? coz I saw a HPI DVD with a stock manual GTT, pulled 148rwkw.

ZXFIRE: Yeah the claims were for a R32, but seeing as a R34 has more power, I wouldve though that the gain would be more if anything. note: I have the split dump and that huge cat that flows at 706cfm.

Well the dyno reading that I got (156rwkw) was at a dyno day using a Dyno Dynamics dyno in Shootout mode.

As I said, I don't know whether your reading is a little sad or my one is a little happy.

Everyone else on the day seemed to get quite accurate readings though. Both Links and d00dz were also at this and can probably confirm :D

Whose dyno was that Stan?

There is definitely enough variation in dyno readings to account for what you got there. I got 162rwkw from full exhaust, panel filter and more boost. That's with big name parts too.

Putting a fmic on will on decrease response, you will not get any more power from it. I would go so far as to say that if I had my time again I wouldn't have put a front mount on until I upgraded the turbo. The r34 smic is bigger than the r33 one.

I don't think there is anything wrong with what you've got there unless that wierdness at the top there is not dyno operator induced.

It was the OCAU dyno day out at Dumar Automotive? From memory it was out near Berowra...

I'm still in touch with a few other guys from the day (TT Supra and Ford XR6 Turbo) and they are both getting consistent readings.

I'm confused now... I thought 156rwkw was quite good for a stock car :D

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
