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...

Edited by mazgtr

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..

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
