Rwkw Vs 4wkw

Hi, just my 2c worth.

I have a R32 GTR and, believe it or not, a FWD mazda 626 with quad throttle body injection on it.

Both have aftermarket fuel injection on them. Both have known/measured CC/Min injectors in them. Both have a known fuel pressure at peak power. Both have a known AFR at peak power off the dyno.

Both have known duty cycle/ms delivery time at their peak KW/HP off the laptop which allows me to calculate actual fuel consumption for each engine.

This fuel consumption directly relates to kw/hp produced by the engine.

The formula that defines this relationship does not change after a good arguement ( thank god for that )

Rather than bore you with the calculations here are the results instead.

R32 GTR in 2WD mode on a dyno dymanics dyno 260rwkw/348hp> Calculated HP at the engine 530hp

or a 35% transmission loss/tire frictional losses etc etc

Mazda 626 quad T/B injection 91 FWKW/ 121 hp at the wheels > calculated HP at engine 168hp

or a 27% loss for the front wheel drive.

These are typical figures on our dyno for most rwd or fwd vehicles > ie: repeatable results

hope this helps,

Mike

just shy of 200hp loss, in RWD mode?

righhhhtttttt

your maths is incredibly wrong somewhere, or your dyno reads incredibly low, 200hp of loss is a MONSTEROUS amount..

As it was stated before, a % power loss is not accurate. A 700BHP GTR isnt going to lose any more power through its drivetrain than a 400BHP GTR, providing they have the same transmission/gearbox/clutch/flywheel/fluid.

Its much more logical that its a fixed amount. Someone suggested about 50-60KW of power loss from engine to rear wheel figure. And about 3-4% difference from this to an AWKW figure...

with my gtr there was i think 27kw(just under 30kw's) different from awkw's to rwkw's.

and somewhat the same kinda power loss with a friend of mines gtr as well. (dyno'd at the same place)

i have heard that through the attessa there is a power loss of 35% from the engine to all four wheels(the total figure put out).

True, ive seen a car with "420RWKW" only clock 119MPH. And another GTR with 390RWKW clock 136MPH. Both on stock transmission.

Clearly one car is makeing a lot more power than the other...

yes tru tru :P

my old dr30 did 11.8 @128 mph with 329rwkw

my gtr does 11.7@116mph with 315.9 rwkw.

im sure the wieght diferance will contribute but 12mph is a pretty big diff

probably all in the launch, gt-r im guessing gets out of the hole better than the DR did, meaning it gets a good first 1/4 of the track but looses out on the top end mph, where as the dr might be boggy/wheel spinning out of the hole, but has the bigger mph to get to an almost identical time..

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
