Yeah, 180rwkw aint half bad :-)

I put my stock R34 GTT on and it produced 161rwkw, a bit more than what Zoom and HPI report (150rwkw) - so I'm happy.

Apparently my timing was out (12deg versus 15-16 deg). but the dyno operators fixed that for me.

Thanks Sam (Dr Drift) and associates, for their efforts. I left pretty disapointed though with my figure. I was expecting at least 200rwkw with the Wolf and other mods. Only got 173!! rwkw :D Then to top it off a stockish R33 (Air Pod, zorst & 10psi) made 183rwkw WTF!!!!

Went back to EAS to see WTF is goin on. Tuesday week a rep. from dyno dynamics is bring a dyno to sell to EAS and i am takin the day off to put my car on. What i am planing on doing is to give the car a couple of runs with the wolf, then pluggin the standard ecu to see the difference. If i am not happy the whole thing is goin to be reprogrammed!

I know the car accerates alot harder, thus this should give me better 1/4 times (to be seen on the 4 April). But i did not spend $1400+ to loose 10rwkw. Sam seems to think that with better tunning the car should make the 200 mark, i really hope so!

DR Drift:

19" rims have a bigger rolling diameter, would this effect the read out? As there is certainly a noticable difference when driving.

great work dale

nice:)

I was only expecting around 160 ~ 170 max!

Mods were POD, Boost and cat-back exhaust. :D

[sorry I took a while to reply, had to post and run]

missed your 34 dale.. oh well.. i wasn't getting there at 7am.. especially after our 4am finish last nite.

Hey thats cool, I got there at 8:00 after going to bed at 2 [dont know how].

I agree with your other statment too Gordon, I was more concerned with how much boost I was really running and what the air/fuel delivery was like, as well as checking the C.A.S.

A rwkw figure was definately a secondary requirement for me [believe it or not] - although I am pleasantly surprised by the number of course

My factory boost guage is out by about 2-2.5 Psi - at least now I know what I am running! CAS was set to 16/17 degrees [btdc] from memory, which is only slightly advanced!

Magazines do testing all of the time - some mags get different results. Most cars even when stock will get different results.

High Performance Imports recorded 148rwkw on a dead stock R34gtt also - and from what I understand of drivetrain losses and similar tests done elsewhere - a figure AROUND 150 is correct!

To get 161rwkw, I imagine your car is not completely stock - how do you know it is anyway? Have you checked the ECU? Is it factory issue? What about the exhaust? Stock? What kind of fuel? Additives? Cam? Air filter [inc hi-flow panel type]? Air flow sensor mesh - this could be removed? There are a lot of little things that could have been done to give you some "extra" numbers...

I am not having a go - simply curious because I havent seen a stock 34 in australia produce over 150. I would be happy if it were mine and was dead stock :D Well done!

rwkw aint #1. Its the power curve and responsiveness that matter,

I agree, and I have always been happy with the respnosiveness of mine - ever since I bought it. Power curve I am happy with too... I dont think I will bother with those electronic gizmos either [safc, ebc, ecu etc.].

Rather keep it on the rich side to be safe - esp with stock cooler / turbo etc...

your ecu aint stock either nismor34 coz otherwise as it comes onto boost thw a/f ratios will run down near 10:1. Yours is stable at around 12:1

All factory ECU in mine. Your theory may relate to 33's only, think about it - there is not much knowledge in this country about 34's - yet!

Perhaps Nissan wrote a different ECU program, for a different car?

Would you say the r32 is the same as your car? I wouldnt.

Where are your results guys?

Post them up for all to see - its not about showing off - it really does give others a chance to see how / what their cars can acheive when modded - or a baseline figure when stock [ish]!

Its "technical" for me anyway!

Post away...

RedLineGTR Dyno Day Photos 29/3 The site is up again, dont know how long for but i'm sure if it dies again it will be up the next day.

Dale sending ya pics now, still got a couple more but, the size of em will not send all together.

Djlethal will send your right after dales, i got another nice one for ya.

Cheers Rob

Just to clarify this...

Al asked to get the car tuned to a safe level, and EAS have done a good job at tuning the car, and it's power is a genuine every day reliable power figure.

There's still a bit to fine tune without sacrificing longevity though....

The other thing is that Al's car was only running 12 psi peak and holing 11 psi at redline.... And a very stable boost curve also!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
