What sorta power should i be getting @ the wheels out of my RB20DET ECCS with the following mods :

* 3 inch dump pipe into a 3 inch hi-flow cat, 3.5 inch zorst from the cat back

* 10 psi of boost

* k & n pod type air filter

I got it dynoed and wasnt too impressed with the outcome, not that i was expecting big horsepower but this wasnt much of an improvement from the standard power output. I got 160hp @ the wheels.

You guys reckon this is a pretty accurate reading or is the something wrong with the car?

cheers

sLo :P

power? you should use 240V AC if your in Australia.

Seriously, don't worry about comparing dyno figures except with your own from the same day and dyno.

Is 160rwhp too low? Probably not. Why don't you see how fast you car is. If it's too slow for you modify it some more.

If beating other people in a dyno comparison is what you like to do then knock yourself out.

I had exactly the same mods and made 109kw at the wheels with 10psi.

I will not put my car on the dyno again unless I have added a substantial mod and want to see what I have gained or am getting something tuned at the time.

Trying to keep a handle on maintanence negates me modding extensively at present.

I feel slow sometimes and when that happens I go drive my g/f's mirage or someother sh*tbox and then get back in my car again. Trust me you will feel the difference!

edit-sorry, tell a lie I only had a catback on the dyno.

slo-32 - I got 114rwkw when i had mine done last Thursday. Had the same problem as you with timing i saw in an earlier post of yours, except my timing had been set wrong. Started at 70kw and i thought what the! after that they realised the timing had been set wrong and ended up getting 114 :( very happy with it.

Mods i have are pod and turbo back exhaust and running 14psi i think on the Apexi AVC-R i had installed on the same day. Nor unless they did the power run at 12psi, but dont think so. Cant wait to see what it'll do with a few more mods i wanna do like cooler and bigger turbo :D

BTW - what is conversion of hp to rwkw?

Mine was 143rwkw with Trust element in the stock airbox, HKS Super Drager cat back exhaust and Supra front mount cooler, stock boost.

With a pod filter, front pipe, custom FMIC it made 153rwkw at stock boost

Chris

itsallgood : 160rwhp = 119rwkw i think...well around that

... 153 rwkw?! You sure you dont mean hp? Surely a FMIC doesnt give you that much power does it? Correct me if i'm wrong.

yes u r very wrong, fmic gives u about 30rwkw gain at same boost level over stock cooler.

Stock cooler is the biggest restriction in the whole system.

I remember alot of ppl saying a fmic doesn't really do shit with a 32? Either way i should have mine back (fkn taxi ran me off the road) in around another month. She comes back with a micks metalcraft 600x300x76 so ill be able to comment :P

With stockbox, 3" exhaust str8 thru, 10 psi, and timing on around 30 (no pingage pphhoaarrwww) we were on around 138rwkw.

What have other ppl noticed that have swapped to a fmic in a 32?

I've run 35degrees base timing on regular bp98. About 25-30degress at the moment.

fmic will always make a difference. The peak power will be higher for sure. The only problem is some 'oversized' fmic packages will lose response over the factory and make the car slower to accellerate over 400m.

people who say fmic dont make a difference obiliously dont have one or have even had one!

I agree with you totally, though from everything ive read, suggests that without say a new turbo etc, changing the IC on a 32 doesn't make a great deal of difference.

Now ive seen 100 of ure posts saying "omg my fmic gave me 30wrkw" :D, im just wondering what i should be expecting...5? 10? 30?

Yes INASNT...I have never had a FMIC. In fact this is my first turbo car and still learning alot about them. And I am learning a great deal from you guys at this forum.

The only reason i questioned the power gain from a FMIC is becuase i've been in a s14 with a cooler and one without and the one without went alot harder / better. And they pretty much had the same mods. But i now know there is many factors that could have made this be.

Thanks again

sLo :D

I never dyno'd it with the stock cooler, but I reckon it was around 120rwkw. As I said before, with the 7MGTE Supra cooler it made 143rwkw, and with a proper custom job it made 153rwkw. All with no change to the stock boost.

Currently its making 198rwkw with a HKSGT2510 and a re-mapped computer and decent intercooler.

I'd recommend a bigger intercooler to any one with a stock cooler, the amount of extra grunt thats lost through the stock cooler is a joke, and retaining it is also a joke - bigger is better!

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
