well, if you want to be retarded then fine. Be wankers, it does not bother me. I love these cars, I simply don't just hand my car to some dude and do "make it go fast". I take the time and effort to research mods and find the best bang for buck.

I run 95 ron fuel, but if you bothered to read, and not be a spastic, you'd see that I was using Toluene to bring my octane up.

And if you bothered to read more of my posts, the standard turbo experiences I had are from a long time ago. I've since gone a bigger turbo and used water methanol injection.

Currently running 108mph, haven't had a chance to see what mph I will run with the water methanol.

Terminal speeds are and excellent judge on power, and thats what I have been looking at. With 210rwkw, I had 104mph. Seemed Fairly spot on.

Insult me all you like, I've done theresearch, played around, tried different things. You guy are the ones that seem to be all hung up on your dynos. I simply came here stating that a standard ecu WILL NOT make 190rwkw.

From my experience, 125rwkw seemed standard, with exhaust FMIC and boost, I made 140s, in which 20rwkw seemed fairly normal for that kind of upgrade. Then the powerfc, which allows you to get rid of those horrible AFRs.

If you ECU is chipped, its another story.

I never said that the 2 dynos that I use a right, I simply stated that they are a little more accurate than a dyno reading 190rwkw with a stock ECU.

but anyway, if you want to go all retarded and be smartasses, go for it.

another thing - where the hell are you pulling these power figures from?

"My exhaust made about 30rwkw"

???

How do you know that?

jono is in cairns with penis fuel on tap

you lot are in nsw and vic with good fuel on tap and normal ambient temps

lol Mackay dude, the only place in QLD that doesn't have 98...

Jeez the water methanol makes a difference

if that was to me, i wasnt quoting you... just stating wat every other person on sau seems to get...

the fact of the matter is... your running differant petrol and your saying your dyno result is correct... everyone else who runs slightly better petrols is wrong.. because theres seems to make abit more...

unless the hole octane / power thing is a big conspiracy...

How do you know that?

there you just said then... as you said in your water/meth injection thread.. the higher octane seems to make a differance...

so how are you comparing your dyno runs with your fuel to everyone elses ??

Jeez the water methanol makes a difference

i havnt bagged anyone out or been rude/insulted or anything to that affect.

I've been quite civil actualy.. i was trying to do the hole discussion thing :whistling:

your first post however started out by saying.... anyone who thinks blah blah "is full of shit"

I simply don't just hand my car to some dude and do "make it go fast"

i don't hand it to some dude. i have done EVERY mod to my car myself. i fitted my exhaust, i fitted my cooler, i pulled my gearbox out when the pivot bolt snapped, and i machined up a replacement. the only time i have handed the keys over was to do a power run.

this is what i heard - the stock RWKW is between 130 & 140. The after market exhaust can add anywhere from something like 8rwkw to upto 30rwkws (depending on the type/brand). But i think what hasnt been taken into account the different environments - there was something that i read about that (i think).

Mad082 - your right, handing over your car to some dude, always ends up bad (as i found out with a certain business) grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have read posts and topics by the mafia before and have found his info to be very useful. If you dont know what im talking about have a look at the in depth thread on his turbo swap.

I think alot of you are quick to bite on statements etc that are said without sitting down and thinking out your replys.

My thoughts are everyone knows that the standard ecu on the 33 is probably the most retarded ecu ever and to get decent power figures out of your car it is an important modification that is as common as an intercooler upgrade these days.

As many have stated dynos are a tuning tool to test the increases/decreases in power from the mods you have purchased and to see if the money was spent wisely. I think everyone can agree that the power figures given shouldnt be taken as gospel.

i understand that there is about 60kw loss thru car drivetrain and dyno. (at least that has been the quoted figure from SK and other smarter people here over the years)

if 189kw is the factory quoted power figure then 130rwkw would be a fair number on the dyno allowing for age of the car, the fuel and any other variables like dirty afm's, airfilters etc might knock the number down some.

so 125rwkw seems a reasonable number if losses are 60kw.

if the losses are a little less then 130-140rwkw sounds fair too.

so 125rwkw seems a reasonable number if losses are 60kw.

exactly right. where the argument started was with themafia saying that they are 125kw, no higher because thats what he dyno'd at. he didn't take into account the fact that there mat be cars out there in better condition, that his dyno might be a bit lazy. he just said that is the figure in a 'i'm right, you're wrong' way.

I'd be happy to volunteer my car to do a Power FC/Stand ECU comparison if there's someone nearby who'll gimme 2 free runs on a 'real' dyno :P

I won't change a thing appart from the ECU so we could have a direct comparison on power gains and also see how off my 190 was with the Nissan ECU.

(I beleive i won't loose my FC tune if power is disconnected??)

yu wont loose your tune if you unplug but the powerfc, but there is little point. ive posted it up a few times

having xyz brand ecu vs stock ecu proves nothing. they will both make power. having xyz brand ecu is only as good as the tune thats on it. so what if the stock ecu makes 180rwkw in one peak spot. so what if the xyz brand makes 185rwkw in the same peak spot. its simply max power in any one spot and that is not realy helpful. it wont guage how fast a car is on the street. too many are caught up with max power.

most people when they get their car back talk about how much it made, no one mentions average power. no one talks about the power curve or response. most (even i used to) just say it made xyz rwkw and thats all thats important

various comparisons across various dynos is somewhat useful but if its not locked in shootout mode then there can be any number of variances in the result. agian the operator just does what he feels is right (a lot do) and dont follow the guidlines again the power level is altered. simply having the bonnet open or closed can greatly affect the power output. take the values as a useful back to back comparison for the same car each time or like on a dyno day but comparing across dynos in states etc probably isnt that useful. like compare drag 1/4 miles. weather, temperature, track temp, wind speed and so on all affect the results. heck look my my recent heathcote results 105mph @ 13.75. looking at wsid average run of the mills runs 105 is 13 flat so the results do get skewed and affected by environment.

the only time i would see dyno compares useful (as in 100% useful) if i could guarantee the shootout mode procedures were followed at workshop xyz for car abc and my mate goes to workshop 123 with his car which is qwe and his tuner follows the procedure spot on as well. only then i would say its an even playing field and the results are as dyno dynamics intended them to be, useful for comparison.

ok well if you are finished making everyone dumber for reading that post, if birnie goes and does a power run on both pfc and stock ecu and then plots the graph against each other then we could see how much it makes all over the graph. not just peak power. and what you said about top speed at the drags is crap. e.t is usually determined by how well the driver can launch, but top speed is less dependent on it. i have a mate that got a 12.56 at 104mph, and another who got a low 13 at 91mph. time shows driver ability, and a bit of car performance. speed shows a bit of driver ability and a lot of a cars power.

and if you don't know what we are debating, then don't post.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
