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:

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
