So pauls appears to have a problem with the top end reading flat then...

Compare it to something else..

Maybe this one I've attached that obviously doesn't have something strange going on with a flat top end.

page 4 about 1/4 way down.

im aware of the top end dropping off. its always been there.

so how is the rest of the tune shit. how are the cruise afr's shit

how is the low cruise IGN timing shit. how is the max load ign timing shit

well if you pulled your head out your arse for a second, and read what i said before, i was making a general comment, not specifically talking about you. and you aren't the only one making approx 180kw on a pfc. maybe you all go to the same tuner and he is crap. maybe you did it yourself and you should've taken it to a professional. there are people out there who can tune better than others.

if you have a flat spot of about 1000rpm it means you have some sort of issue. it may not been in the tune, but it is somewhere. maybe i have a better flowing exhaust, or turbo in better condition, but there is something that mine has that yours doesn't to give it that extra 1000rpm worth of power.

i have read what you said, several times. and i have seen the comments by cubes. both of which i have read and understood. the car hasn't been to the same place, its been to 3 different places and i have done some touch up tuning myself, mainly advance some timing here or there and lean out the afr's more for better economy.

so now you think its the turbo or something else causing the lack of power? are you sure? which one is it? its the same in your case. the ecu isnt the only thing that makes power. perhapps something else in your car is different

anyway

im over it

im happy with my ecu and tune, you keep your stock ecu tune and keep ranting about it making the same power. we're both happy

i was simply saying possible causes for your flat curve since it has always been there. and for the millionth time, i'm not keeping the ecu, it is getting upgraded. i never said an aftermarket ecu was bad, just that bolting one in doesn't automatically give it more power than a stock ecu. and if the person tuning it doesn't have a clue then it could end up worse than a stock ecu.

I wouldn't feel completely safe running around with yours Mad, afr's are obviously on the 'edge' definitely not something the thread OP wants. Dirty fuel filter = leaner again, fuel pump that decides no more = leaner again. Definitely not safe.

Have yours tuned with safe afr's and you will most likely find your back down with the rest of them, 190-200rwkw.

BUT you WILL pick up mid range and off boost power.

On your dyno that may make it look like yours has more mid range over others, jump on another and it will be the same as the others.

So sure 200rwkw 'can' be done with a select few R33's with ecu's that don't freak out and R&R all over the place.

Generally series 1.5, well I knew of one R33 Series 1.5 that was a freak and cracked 200rwkw, I know of 4 others that had fuel cuts and R&R topping out at 178rwkw. So not everything is equal.

I think you will find its generally not the tuner that gets low power out puts its the variables involved.

Engine condition, turbo type (series 1, 2 etc), how the car is tyed down, inlet temp sensor position and finally how the dyno reads. Its not uncommon to have a dyno read 10rwkw different.

With regards to pauls strange top end, thats not a tuning issue, its most likely something stupid.

Have you found out why it was doing that yet Paul?

it is a series 2 motor. series 1.5 car i have seen a few of the 1.5's with series 2 motors.. i asked how the afr's were since they wouldn't give me them and they said the were ok, but could be improved. there were rich in some areas, lean in others.

and i understand that different dyno's pull different powers, but i'm 25hp up on another r33 in town with same mods (except the adjustments we made) (same dyno, same day), so obviously i've done something right.

my afr's are on my dyno sheets

http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/pics/dyno/...r33-193rwkw.jpg

the tune has been alterted slightly, i have throw in a stack load more timing in the low end 8x8 area

and also cranked out the cuirse afr's in the 8x8 area to get some super economy. there is also on avg a 2deg increase on the ign map everywhere.

the top end we arent sure why it dies off. ive looked at it, a tuner has and we can't figure it out

its a series 2 with 150,000 on the clock. the top off dying has always been there, since day one when i got the car 50,000 with stock ecu

what exhaust setup do you have? it may be something isn't flowing well enough to let the gases escape fast enough so it is just backing up. generally a poorly flowing exhaust won't be able to cope at high rpm. or do you have a partitioned pod?

Maybe a little more fuel with a little more ignition timing gave better results than less fuel less ignition timing.

Nothing wrong with 193rwkw anyway.. I'd say its the norm for the dyno I run on at least.

That 211rwkw dyno sheet was a bit of a freak run.. :P It made 187rwkw on the same dyno another day. probably just tied down different or something. lol hehehe

Comapring pauls dyno sheet to a few other rb25's here paul has more average power everywhere. 130km/h is pretty impressive.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
