So if those cars with high inlet temps were to pull up next to another car with low inlet temps but same power on the dyno down at the local drag stip which will accelerate and run down the 1/4 quicker? My bet is the one with the low IT temps. But the power figures are the same. wtf. :(

Or think of it this way... Same car same car identical power curves at the same km/h, ones a turbo 6 ones a v8. The turbo 6 has had some pretty funky correction on its power curve due to its higher inlet temps. Which one will run down the 1/4 quicker? The N/A with its lower IT temps.

yep, common sense would say the 3rd one has the wrong IT :(

I'm thinking it was something else done wrong that gave such a massive power figure on mine (for a stock 33), so hopefully results similar to the norm can be acheived with the more accurate IT temp, so long as everything else is done correctly

tiz all too confusing to me

I'll just be happy to see a result that is 'normal' when compared to everyone elses with similar mods...ie paul, justin, and paradizzle all have similar mods (except para with the safc instead of the pfc) and are all around the 190-210rwkw mark :(

ramp rate (RR) being different will also alter the output figure.

higher ramp rate means the dyno pulls the car harder on the rollers, this can affect how the engine comes on boost, as more load means more boost. also the shootout mode can correct the figures accordingly

SHOOT4

SHOOT4F

SHOOT6

SHOOT6F

SHOOT8

SHOOTF

and so on, the F being forced induction turbo or supercharged.

so if your car was done in say SHOOT6 then you will get different results if you did your car in SHOOT6F and so on

At the last boostworx dyno day it was shown that the lesser shootout modes read slightly lower than the higher I.e Shoot4 vs Shoot81.

Looking through all the dyno sheets they are all within 5degree's of the AMB temp. I watched shaun place the IT sensor either in the cai snorkle or basically on the pod. HOWEVER.. Dyno runs were done with the bonnet up. So not really reflecting what would really occur on the street.

The way I see it is that if the IT is more than 10C higher than the AT, there is going be some good amount of correction involved. Infact that 'bogus' sheet shown before with similar AT/IT, thats the figures that would involve the least amount of SAE correction and thus a more 'real' result IMO. Anyone can get the temp sensor, throw it near the turbo manifold and get some bullshit results.

Before this thread gets hijacked ive got an update for those interested.

Took my car back to RE customs today to check it out again. We discovered the following. The timing on the car had been set to full advanced. The confusing part however was that the car was still running ok.

The problem is most likely to be either the timing belt was put on incorrectly and is out by a knob by my previous mechanic or the knock sensor is faulty or the wrong model.

Anyway, we reset the timing and moved it back a bit and we did another run on the dyno. For those of u non-believes the car still made 190rwkW and the AFR this time were areound 12.75. We did altogether 6 runs and the car did not ping or knock on any of the runs (altho i have been using octane booster lately)

Gonna take it back to Ray sometime next week to sort out the timing issue and if the timing belt has been installed incorrectly i am gonna lose it at my previous mechanic. At the end of the day however, i am basically driving around a 190rwkW basically stock skyline.... I guess it proves that the RB motor is one of the best responding motors to modification.

Your not running an adj. cam gear? This will throw the positioning of the cas sensor out.

Maybe the incorrectly set cam timing has helped power a tad. :wave:

Wouldn't it suck if you dropped it back to find its lost power everywhere and back to the norm.

How did it respond to modification if its stock?

Still dont see how 190rwkw is possible...its not really.

Did you check the ECU

Nah its got stock cam gears... and yes it would suck :P ut i'd rather be safe than sorry

Its not completely stock, just lightly modded. Yea i checked the ECU it doesnt look like its remapped, i havent checked the inside of it yet. I reckon the timing is causing it to have this much power tho.

I dont see it possible either. See how it goes once all its little issues are sorted out (cam timing and afr).

If it still pulls high figures on stock boost then..................... get a run on a different dyno and if its still a high figure.............. well there's no explaination. :P

But you said you reset the timing and it still made 190...so it can't be the advanced timing...

You wouldn't be able to tell from the outside of the ECU if its been changed at all...

Maybe get a dyno run on another dyno just to see what that comes up with...or take it to the drags and see what mph you get...someone on here could work out rough power based on mph

hehe, i wasn't questioning the dyno or the operator...shit, im going there tomorrow so that wouldn't be a wise choice if i dont have faith in the workshop...

Just saying that in this case, its not a normal situation, so another dyno is just another option to get some ideas...chances are it will get a similar figure on the other dyno, then he can start crossing other shit off the list :P

Yea, atm i dont really care about the power figure, dont get me wrong, I'm like really happy, (less than $1000 spent and ive got 190rwkW) but im more worried bout the AFR. I reckon once that is fixed it'll go back down to 180... which is still pretty good for my mods, and not that unusual.

Dezz post up ur results when u get ur run 2moro. Good luck for getting 200rwkW, i will be very interested to see - my car has basically the same mods as u minus powerFC which I will hopefully be getting before Xmas.

IT & AT should be relatively the same for a turbo car

the DD "correction" is way off. The massive possible changed between cooler setups, boost levels/turbo efficiency etc can never be allowed for by some "software"

Remember the I/C will cool the charge, if its 55, its gonna be lower by the time it reaches the motor.

Closer to ambient is best

cheers

I'm still going to call botched figures.

Skylines simply don't make alomst 200rwkw standard.

As I said before, when my car was stock, it was in perfect condition, and by that I mean perfect. Motor was 169psi across all cylinders and 2% leakdown which is on par to brand new.

Made 140rwkw with 10psi and a full exhaust and FMIC.

210rwkw with powerfc added and 13psi boost, and toluene.

    • 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).
