Well my car just dynoed 212kw @ 18psi.

My mods include:

Microtech LT-8

Custom Frontmount

3.5 inch dump to cat 3 inch for the rest

Hyflow T3/4

h/d Clutch

Vl pusher pump as well as standard intank

Standard air box

Well i don't know what everyone else thinks but this seams a little low for the modifications. I though atleast 257kw because have beaten a certain silva with a rb20 before.

The dyno was not in shootout mode and had a ramp rate of 100

Did you dyno it with the bonnet down?

Thats the best way to get a more realistic figure. It is always a lower figure too.

I wouldn't worry about the figure if it was an improvement.

The real measurement is beating that 'certain silvia' and doing some quick times around your favorite circuit or drag strip.

Stop getting all hyped about the dyno figure.

It's a peice of paper, just like toilet paper its only fit to wipe your ass on if its not being used to help tune a car.

So what if the silvias got a better dyno readout. Scan yours into the computer and change it with photoshop to read 1000rwkw, then you can beat him at the races AND in a dyno paper stand off!

Yes you can say i'm a little focused on the dyno readout, I guess 212kw is not enough. The tune on the car was pretty S&*t, as soon as i gave it a boot full it detonated the loudest i have ever heard it. Sooo in 2 weeks it will be going back on the dyno, the same one as the rb silvia.

I'll let everyone know how it goes!

:D

Hi sik32, is this an RB20DET? No adjustable cam pulleys? No injector upgrade? No adjustable fuel pressure regulator? No internal mods? Standard camshafts? No pod?

If it's a roller dyno (not hub) 212 rwkw is 360 bhp, that's pretty good for an RB20DET with the mods you have listed. I'm surprised it didn't run out of injector capacity.

I sort of agree with the other guys, except I reckon the dyno might be a bit optimistic.

PS; let us know the dyno shop that the Silvia runs on, I want to take my car there and get a good bit of paper to wipe my butt on as well.

Microtech LT-8

hey sik32,

I'm too am running a LT-8 on my recently purchased GTS-4.

Just wondering how you find the driveability of it in your RB20?

How's the economy if your just cruising along in 5th gear?

I don't think they have closed-loop cruise mode. So they don't use the oxy sensor, do they?

What about initial start-up?

I know the LT-8 doesn't use the idle stepper valve. (the thing on the end of the plenum) So do you have some sort of air by-pass valve to compensate for the greater amount of fuel at start-up?

I'm just asking cos I find that mine never starts cleanly especially after I haven't driven it for a day or so. Sometimes it even seems like it wants to stall itself cos of the lack of air (revs drop below 500)

As far as the economy on my car, it pretty bad considering that I hardly ever boost it around town. and I spend alot of time cruising in 5th gear. something like 350km to a tank:(

I haven't had a chance to dyno it yet but hopefully will in a few weeks.

anything you can enlighten me on?:P

ok Interloper, First of all I find Microtech a great computer if you are on a budget. Drivability is fine, as it drives like the standard computer, but there is a few things that dislike about my Microtech. Cold starts, the car sometimes stalls on the first turn of the key and will not idle properly until the car has warmed up properly. This seems to be a problem that most cars with microtech have.

Fuel ecomomy, well that went out the window along with my standard computer. Microtech is Very bad on fuel, this also may be caused by the tuning as I like it too be a little fat. Even when i'm off boost and on the highway it still sucks fuel like no tomorrow.

Yes approx 350km. If i could do it all over again i would chose apexi or motec because of money i have wasted on fuel i could have afforded either of these. No Joke

Good luck with it all:D

Ps thanks for the toilet jokes guys!!!!!!!:bahaha:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
