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...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
