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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
