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...

"My exhaust made about 30rwkw"

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.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
