hi guys,

I got my gtr dyno'ed a couple of weeks ago, and was wondering if the power figure was normal.

Its early 89, no doubt 200k+ on the clock.

got 225HP at 8psi boost

only mods are Apexi pods (no heat sheild)

Fuel was caltex vortex (couldnt fill up on bp98 at the time)

Its got the stock exhaust, cat, and boost restrictor.

I havnt run a compression test or leakdown test yet, and it doesnt seem to be using up oil.

so is that figure someting to worry about, or is it normal for a car of that age?

Thanks

Steve

That sounds pretty good for a stock 200k+ km GTR. If the car was modified the it might be a different story. The figure is even better if you used a 4WD dyno as you get more drivetrain loss. I wouldn't worry too much about the actual power figure asy dynos always vary, your power & torque curves will tell more about the way your car is running.

Beer Baron: 225hp is about 168kw.

yeah its 168kw, at the rear wheels.

i was just thinking about it last night, and it popped into my head that they are 206kw from factory form.

But then i just thought about it again a few mins ago (after a strong coffee) and remebered thats 206kw at the engine.

So therefore: drivetrain loss + 16 years of abuse + 200K = lower power reading?

did i just answer my own question?

Looks good, nice solid power for such an aged car.

Ring Lumpy and ask him if he'll print you one with the AFR on it. Should still be in the computer.

You won't get a torque graph. Well you can but it won't be accurate, once you start running it through gearbox/diff etc the figures of the reading will mean nothing. all it will do is give you an idea where it's strong and where it isn't. Remember, to get an ACCURATE torque figure you need and engine dyno, once the gearbox diff/tyres come into the equation all it will give you is an ESTIMTAE of tractive effort.

Hope I've explained that clearly?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
