my car made 182rwkw stock.

the dyno operator had no idea what he was doing, but tried to tell me that 'you never know whats under the heatshield'...

'yeah, i do...its stock'

didnt even have an exhaust

lol if you're refferring to me, im the first to admit my car DOES NOT have 182rwkw stock. has a full 3" exhaust and 9psi atm, and it still wouldnt make that much power.

Notice it was run in 3rd gear also...

the operator clearly f**ked it up, and wasted my money.

Anyway, that was ages ago. I was pissed off because I was dynoing it to see what it made bone stock, so that when i added mods i could see the increase for each...but that went out the window.

Car will be going to ray at RE on tuesday (if my PFC arrives tomorrow) for a tune.

3" exhaust

fmic

040

pfc

MBC

will be dynoed before and after ;)

lol don't take it as a dig it was just an observation of what may have bumped the figure up slightly. Which I'm sure you noticed also. :O

Regarding 3rd to 4th gear.. Mine actually made 4rwkw in 4th.

Quite interested to see how the before after run goes, would be interesting if the power level stock is still up around 180rwkw. lol ;)

I didnt take it as a dig :(

I threw that dyno sheet out a long time ago. No stock R33 GTS-T makes 182rwkw ;)

and if my car had 182rwkw back then, in theory it'd have 190+ now that i have an exhaust...and if my car has 190rwkw, then i'll sell it and buy something fast....lol

on tuesday i'm hoping for around 160rwkw as it is (the 040 will be installed before any dynoing :bunny:) and hoping for around 200rwkw after the tune and boost upped to probably 12psi..

but will be happy with more midrange rather than just a big max power, and thats exactly what Ray has told me he'll focus on :laugh:

lol you were running a stock exh. with that run. lmao.. I missed that little part in your previous post. :O

yep. 100% stock!

not stock + anything....just stock

was so funny when he was like

'you never know whats under the heatshield in these things'

'the dyno doesn't lie'

'yeah i do. its stock...'

'no, but if you dont know how to use it....'

;)

Ehh dezz, if ur getting a powerfc would it be ok if i borrowed ur stock ECU to test my car. If its ok, jus leave it with Ray and say it is for Tas,

Would be much appreciated but its ok if u dont want to.

Good luck on Tuesday regardless dude, I reckon with ur mods u'll get 175 - 180rwkw. Next mod for u should def be dump/front pipe, preferably with a split.

I would lend it to you if I didn't live so far from RE. Its gonna be close to an hour drive for me, so I won't be back there anytime soon...

And i'm going for a lot more than 180rwkw....more around the 200rwkw mark.

As I already mentioned, my car has a full 3" turbo back, including a split front/dump...

i dont see a major problem with IT being 55.

to me its more realistic if anything.

if you were to place a temp probe under the bonnett, then this would be the realistic values you would see. so IT really comes down to how the car is setup, ie: unshielded pod, it will certainly suck in mega hot air, so 55 is acceptable. if its the stock airbox and snorkel then i guess placing the sensor at the opening of the snorkel would give the best result, i dont think 55 is correct for the opening of the snorkle.

did u see where he placed the airtemp sensor dezz?

But infating power figures because of a poorly setup induction system is wrong and doesnt reflect real world performance. The dyno will read higher but real world performance will be down. Is that really the way to go about correcting power figures?

Maybe airtemp entering the grill correction will reflect a real world power figure.

the temp sensor was put inside the intake pipe, at the second last rubber joiner before the plenum.

He was telling me how he puts it there because it gives the ACTUAL intake temp, as its taken just before the air gets into the plenum, and not just how cold the air is when its blown into the snorkel...

That was before he actually dynoed it...so it was sounding like he knew what he was doing...I guess I found out otherwise soon after :(

yeah that makes sense (to me at least) putting the air temp sensor after intercooler to measure air going into the plenum. the gtr ecu (and PFC) do this and base correction around that value.

to me it make sense to correct up the power readings for higher intake temps, as this is the typical results you would see on the street.

the problem is much more obvious when you see an unshieled pop setup make 200rwkw as the bonnet is open, the airtemp sensor is right next to the AT sensor on the crossover bar next to the dyno computer and both IT and AT are the same, or 1 deg apart. in normal conditions on the street, it wont make that power, as its sucking in hot air.

hang on, higher IT, adds or takes away power?

On the street higher IT = less power.

On the dyno higher IT = more power.

I have the IT sensor placed inside my airbox and airtemps are 0-1degree's what the AMB temp is. BUT I do run a CAI.

How the turbo heats the air and how well the FMIC cools the air back down is then setup dependant and will reflect in real world performance. IF I were to run no intercooler I could in theory still be making the same power on the dyno but real world acceleration would suck.

If the dyno operator is reading the post turbo 'real' inlet temps and having the dyno correct a power figure on this then that is simply way off. The motors 'real' Power will always be down as the engine will always be swallowing air of such a temp.

What will we have next.. Boost correction, compression ratio correction, engine displacement correction? :(

AMB air temp correction all the way.

i think a large number of dyno sheets have incorrect IT and AT

out of all the ones i have looked at, i dont remember seeing many that have it correctly. one would always expect IT to be higher than AT, just not sure how much. i dont think any of my sheets have IT and AT correct

I suppose if they're all going to be 'wrong' then as long as they are all wrong in the same way with similar differences....

Mine may have had the more accurate intake temp, but something else was clearly f**ked up. Or maybe the higher intake temp on my dyno, while more accurate, is what caused the ridiculous figure?

So maybe its not the right way to do it...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • 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).
